Is January a hard month for you? I have a long history of not feeling warmly towards this particular month—I always seem to get the blues amid the seemingly endless winter, with day after gray day all seeming the same. This particular January was especially hard, as my husband was away for much of the …
Like everyone else, January often hits me hard with the urge to declutter, simplify, pare down, eat less chocolate…you get the idea. While I got rid of about half of my possessions back in 2013 as part of my 50 Weeks to Organized project, I have acquired PLENTY more stuff since then, especially as we’ve …
I’m late in posting these because our plans had to change a bit this week. We’d originally been told that Matt would no longer be needing to travel up to the old location for work starting in mid-December (and he did, in fact, work the last two weeks of the year from the new location, …
Happy new year, everyone! We made it to 2021!!! Because I’m in the middle of working on my new 101 in 1001 list, I’m not setting any traditional New Year’s resolutions this year, but in honor of the beauty of a brand-new year and fresh start, I figured I’d bring some goal inspo to you …

We originally had thought that the company Matt works for would have moved down to …

There was a trip to the pumpkin patch, trick-or-treating (albeit a socially-distanced version), …
While at times I got sick of looking at the same goals over and over again for my last 101 in 1001 list, I overall really enjoyed the format of setting 101 goals to try and meet in 1,001 days (roughly 2.75 years)—it meant that I could set more long-term, “bucket list” items than I …
Well, we’ve made it to the deadline of my first 101 in 1001 list! And I’ve got to say, while at times I got sick of the list, for the most part I have LOVED doing goals this way. I have found that the expanded timeline of nearly three years is useful for allowing myself …
