July 2016 Goals

July 2016 Goals
I'm feeling a little like summer is slipping away. And sometimes I feel hesitant to go outside and do fun things because it's hot, or because I have too much work to do, or because I don't have time. There's always an excuse, isn't there? I'm determined to not let July slip away. These monthly goals can get on my nerves sometimes... I try to always schedule the[...]

April Goals

April Goals
I feel like April is about to take me on a crazy ride. Weddings, nursery prep, family vacation, baby prep, childbirth classes, and finishing everything I possibly can before maternity leave arrives on May 10th. I have a whole lot of "to do's," but I have to ask myself, what exactly are my goals? One definition of a goal is "an aim or desired result." My aim or [...]

March 2015 Goals
February was so good. It was full of adventures and snow, progress and training, and it marked the start of my third trimester. But I will admit : the beginning of February was really hard because of one word: indecision. There were so many big things we had to make decisions about, and they were hard. For whatever reason, Will and I could not for the life of us d[...]

2015 + January Goals
Happy New Year, friends! It's January 1st, 2015. Take a deep breath and thank God for a brand new season of life. This is your year to change, to do something different, to take hold of the life you've always wanted. If you've never set goals before, you can start today.

December Goals 2014
There are so many reasons I adore December. I love cozy fires and hot chocolate, twinkle lights and the smell of Christmas trees, lazy family time and tradition. I love chilly runs on the greenway, mulling spices that my mom sends me each year, date nights and Christmas movies. I love movies that open on Christmas day, white elephant gift exchanges, being extra ge[...]

October Goals

October Goals
Yes yes yes. I love this sign and I keep it on my desk. This is my mantra this month! September was my month of traveling, shooting, and hosting my nieces and nephews... twice. It was full of all the important things, and it was wonderful, but I am SO happy to see you, October. I am declaring you are my month of simplicity. No traveling. No additional events or[...]

June Goals

June Goals
Looking back at May, I had an epiphany: my biggest battle fought within my daily life lies in the decision between the following: The Urgent v. The Important Most of my days, I would dare to say I choose the urgent 95% of the time over the important. There are deadlines, emails, schedules to follow, appointments, weddings, blogposts, and phone calls. Then, there[...]

May Goals 2014
Ok friends, a few updates on my goals. We are 1/3 of the way through with this year (can you even believe that?!), and I'm feeling on track in some ways, and behind in other ways.  Here's a quick update: Things that aren't working: My wrist has been giving me some pain, so I had to stop cycling. (The pressure on my bent wrist would irritate it even more.) I'm a[...]
