Happy 2015!

I can't believe it's 2015 already! Yes, I will say this every year, but time is just speeding by.

Last year, I wrote about my resolution for 2014 to Focus. To put my phone down more, play with Lucy more, to clean my house more and to eat better. 3 out of 4 accomplished and down, I decided to shake things up for 2015. (Well, 4 out of 4 if you count the house cleaners I got as a gift for Christmas!)

With our lives changing drastically (again) in 2015, this year I decided my one word Resolution will be Rest.

We will be welcoming our 2nd baby girl in March, and as I just entered my 3rd trimester, I am taking every opportunity to rest. Sleeping in when I can, and napping when I can.

Resting with our only child for 3 more months. I will be her jungle gym, her story-teller, and her lap to sit in (although the lap space is shrinking every day) and soak up every one-on-one minute with her that I can.

I am also hoping this new little joy of ours also hears my resolution to rest. Perhaps she will decide it is her New Years Resolution as well. {To be excellent at sleeping. }Ha!

What's your one-word Resolution for 2015?

2014 in Focus

Happy 2014!

My Resolution for 2014 is going to be focus. 

Focus on being present. I am going to be intentional with my time with Lucy (and my family), because she is literally growing up before my eyes. Put away my phone more, get yogurt kisses in my hair, and run outside with her.

Focus on tidiness. I will make time to clean and organize (even though, ugh, I hate it.) The dog gets more baths, my floors get mopped more, and I might just paint some walls in my house I have been putting off for years.

Focus on what I eat. Just like most New Year's resolutions, I indulged a great deal over the holidays and its time for a cleanse. More portion control, green veggies, and less cookies. (But I can still have wine, ok?)

What is your Resolution for the new year?
