2024 Monthly Goals

Happy February, friends!! January was forever long, but we have finally made it to a new month! With this new month, I started thinking about a goal I could set for myself each month. So, here are the goals I came up with, and I'm hoping you will join me!

January: Dry January. I can check this one off! Minus the first few days when we were still on our cruise, I did not have any alcohol in January! 

February: No Spend February. Whew. This will be hard for me. Now, I'll obviously still spend on things like food, gas, etc., but no unnecessary purchases like new clothes, shoes, etc. 

March: Clean Out/Declutter March. I'm going to commit to getting rid of something each week in the month of March. It doesn't matter how much or how little each week, as long as I get rid of something that is no longer serving me or our home. 

April: Gratitude April. Each day, I'm going to write down something I am grateful for. I'm not setting a limit to how many things, but I'll add to a list every day! 

May: More Me Time May. Before you can take care of others, you have to take care of yourself. You can't pour from an empty bucket.....So, in May, I'm going to spend a little more time doing the things that recharge and energize me. More reading, more self care nights, more things I love.

June: No Snooze June. No hitting snooze during the week! I usually don't set an alarm on the weekends (unless we're going to church). This one is soooo hard for me, but I'm going to commit to it!!

July: Social Media Break July. I'll still be here each morning, but I want to spend less time scrolling Instagram, TikTok, and I've basically already given up Facebook. It's so mentally draining, and I need to start taking more intentional breaks! 

August: New Recipe August. Let's try a new recipe every week in August! I get so tired of coming up with dinner ideas, but I also love cooking and trying new recipes. So, I'm going to branch out a little and try something new every week. 

September: Step It Up September. I do not get nearly enough steps in each day, so I'm going to see if I can get at least 10,000 or more each day. 

October: Outdoors October. The weather will be starting to get cooler here in Mississippi, so it will be the perfect time to get outside a bit more. 10 or more minutes a day is what I'm committing to. 

November: No Heat November. That is, no heat on the hair! No blow dryer, not curling iron, no hot water!! Did you know hot water can damage your hair just as much as a hot tool? Turn down the water temp and get that hair healthy again! 

December: Do Something Kind December. December is the month of giving, but let's give a little more and want a little less. Compliment someone, hold the door for someone, volunteer, give someone a thoughtful gift, etc., all without expecting anything in return. Let's just do something kind for someone in December. I know it can also be a difficult month for many, so let's be a bright spot in someone's day! 

Have you set any goals for 2024?? I'll also remind y'all of my words for 2024: Freedom, Growth, Abundance. I love setting words for the year instead of a long list of resolutions, and I'm thinking these little monthly will goals will also be better!! 

Have a very happy Thursday!!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.19.25}

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...
