2016 Goals

I honestly feel like I was just writing last year's goal post a few months ago - and here we are a year later and I'm writing my new post,  I don't believe in resolutions but we can all use goals.  This is when I start thinking about things I'd like to work on and improve and it's always fun to go back and look how I did once the year ends.



Personal:
  • Be more in the moment, really treasure this season in our life.  My kids are at such a fun age and before I know it, J will be in school too so I want to savor this time.
  • Stick to my cleaning schedule and laundry schedule or at least find a rhythm that works for me
  • Make an effort to cut down my screen time, it's a horrible habit
  • Make more attempts for our family to eat healthy and clean
  • Try new recipes and add some new favorites to our rotation
  • Take my vitamins/supplements daily - sounds dumb, but I'm so terrible at this and really have no reason to be since I'm home
  • Continue working on our home and making improvements here and there

Blog:
  • Get on a blogging schedule like I used to be.  I want to find my groove and stick to it.  I hate that some weeks I blog consistently and others I fall short
  • Comment and read more blogs - I'd love to discover some new favorites
  • Grow my Instagram and reach a wider audience - it's my favorite way to connect with readers and to get a sneak peak into others lives, even if it is staged!
  • Work on my photography to better my pictures for the blog - that means learning more about my DSLR and putting what I learn into practice
  • Attempt more style posts. While I'm no style blogger, it is fun to step out of my comfort zone and arrange some outfits and pose awkwardly ;)

Have you set any goals for this year?  What would you like to work on?


PS - Tomorrow there will not be a Wino Wednesday, we'll start back up the 1st Wednesday of February - that gives you another whole month to sip some vino :)

Have a great day!

I think these goals are great! I love Instagram, and want to grow my presence there as well!

All great goals girl! I think you do a great job on Instagram! And I really want to live more in the moment too. I want to put down the phone/camera and just enjoy it and not spend forever trying to get the perfect shot! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

Yes, more style posts! You always pick the best outfits and I definitely want to see more of those! And if you find out how to get your kids to eat more healthy and clean PLEASE share. Like immediately.

I'm definitely more of a "yearly to do list" than resolutions sort of girl too. I may form new habits as a result of tackling said list, but they happen organically and I find that is more effective, for me. Good luck with your goals! (One of mine for this year is to say current on blog reading so I can actually comment, instead of being so far behind that I'm embarrassed to leave one. Ha.)

I love these! I did my Goals post for 2016 yesterday and it felt so good! I love your idea about spending more time in the moment! It's so easy to get caught up in everything and miss some of the precious things that happen on day-to-day basis ;-)

My favorite goals I'm seeing this year are to be more in the moment, such a huge thing to strive for! And I also need to get a DSLR and learn how to use it and to edit photos. Your photos are always gorgeous <3

I definitely need to set a blogging schedule, too. I scheduled everything for the holidays, so I haven't actually blogged in like 3 weeks and now I feel like I have nothing to blog about! I want to take a photography class this year for sure.

With moving I really haven't articulated or thought out them out. I need to write them down.
