In some ways, I’m in awe that we’ve already made it through January. In other ways… bring on February! Mondays are usually spent recapping the weekend and linking up with Biana and Meghan. But let’s be real, there’s not a lot to recap when you don’t do a lot.
{But I did feature some of my favorite pieces from The Mint Julep Boutique on Saturday. What’s that? You haven’t entered the giveaway yet? Get on it, girl!}
Before jumping in to the goals for this month, lets take a quick look back at January’s goals.
1. Devotions – even on the weekends.
Ehh, not great. When we did take the time to do them, it was mostly because David initiated it. I’m still working on this. Add it to February.
2. Memorize a verse.
Love I Corinthians 13:2. It probably would have made more sense to memorize the LOVE verse in February but it was given to me in January so…
3. Make a new recipe.
Yes! Crockpot chicken taco bowls were such a hit at our house. Delicious and easy… make them at your house!
4. Enjoy life.
Honestly, January felt very stressful. David started grad school again, Bible study started back up, I transitioned into a new semester and basketball is still going strong. Sometimes I feel like I’m just constantly doing what I have to do to get by. I don’t like living that way.
1. Make a new recipe.
I know this gets added every month but it really does motivate me to have it documented. Plus, I’ve found some really great meals as a result.
2. Devotions – even on the weekends.
Obviously, since this isn’t a part of the routine yet, it’s still getting added to the monthly list. I think on the weekends, I’m guilty of not getting out of the warm bed until the very last possible second.
3. Advertise F+F on other blogs.
I’ve thought about doing this, just haven’t proceeded to make it happen yet. Have you had success with a specific outlet of sponsoring? I’d love to hear about it.
4. Have a unique Valentine’s celebration.
Confession. I’m soooo not a Valentine’s person. I’m the girl who purposefully chooses not to wear red and pink on that day. {Or actually, most any day.} I hate those chalky candy hearts that say things like, “FAX ME.” {Really, was that ever a popular way to communicate your love?} I think red roses are hideous and I HATE how all the single girls mope around like since they don’t have a lover, on this one day, their life is obviously ruined.
So all that to say, I wanna do something fun this year to celebrate. Not the cheesy stuff but really just an excuse to do something out of the ordinary. {Because, at the moment, just spending time together is a bit out of the ordinary.} Biana posted some really great ideas here so I’ll probably just steal some of hers. Because who has time to come up with their own when this list is just so great?
5. Get the house/my life in order.
My house is not organized or clean like I want it to be. I have a stack of stuff at work that should have been taken care of two weeks ago. I’ve lost my keys/phone more than once in the last month. Go. go. go. As much as I love basketball season, my life kind of needs to slow down.
