Normally at the beginning a new year I like to set goals. You know – Loose weight. Dry January. Spending freeze. Save money.

Honestly – FUCK that. It’s 2021. I’m going to stick with a more playful list of wishes and dreams. Things I’m truly looking forward to.

And manifest the shit out of it.

Just seems like maybe this approach could be a little more effective, ya know what I mean? So I’m giving it a try! What on your list?

River water cheers to fun family camping trips that you don’t want to end ☀️

It’s so nice to be back. While stepping away last week to mute + learn. I’m sure we can all agree, it’s been eyeopening in so many ways. Although I wasn’t very vocal online, I can promise you that offline, there were many, many conversations had. A lot of reading. So much learning. I truly believe I can do better and that starts at home.

Intentions for the Week:

  • finish off my final 3 days with no added sugar
  • buy a nice bottle of chardonnay for Thursday to celebrate 10-days of no added sugar
  • delete old photos + videos on phone
  • paint my nails
  • get good sleep
  • hit 15,000 steps per day
  • help Bay complete her 4-H record book
  • Peloton app 2x
  • clean out the downstairs closet
  • prep for a yard sale this Sunday
