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 …
This past week has been such a blur…I feel like I’m going to need the entire month of December to recover from the move (except that I don’t have that luxury because we’re currently living in a state of construction/chaos). We originally had thought that the company Matt works for would have moved down to …
Unless you count all the mask-wearing and the fact that Halloween parties were staggered with who was coming when, this last month was the most “normal”-feeling of any month since March, at least as far as what we did as a family.

We’re getting a lot more used to Matt’s work schedule, we’ve hit quite a good rhythm with homeschooling, and we made a lot of fun memories …
Another birthday. Another year filled with growth and joy and challenges and triumphs. I might understand all too well what Madeleine L’Engle meant when she referred to this decade of life and motherhood as “the tired 30’s,” but this season feels like such a gift.

For awhile there, I was trying desperately to hang onto the idea that even with a pandemic and a move and all sorts of other craziness this year, I would still be able to complete many of my 2020 resolutions. But now? I have entirely given up that delusion. And am thanking my January self …
