Now that we’ve had a moment to take a breather a Now that we’ve had a moment to take a breather after the holidays, I thought I’d take a minute to talk about New Year Resolutions.  Some people love them, while others hate them.

I think they’re good as a ‘guideline’ to help set goals. We seek to make positive changes that will leave us better off.  So for me, I like to reflect back over the previous year and look for ways in which I can refresh or improve in the coming one.

I think the problem people run into with resolutions is when they set unrealistic goals or try doing too much too quick.

When you keep it simple and start with small steps, you’re more likely to enjoy it.  You’re also more likely to stick with your resolutions, which is the whole point! 

So I’ve shared  some simple New Years Resolutions to help you start your year off strong over on the blog.  I’m even sharing a few of mine for this year:) And I’ll also give you some fun tips and ideas for getting these accomplished! Head to meatballmom.com to view!

I stretched the Christmas season out as long as I I stretched the Christmas season out as long as I could over here . . . just got the decorations down and put away! Sad to see it go, but there’s something that feels good about a fresh start! 

Now feeling like organizing all the things!! The pantry is at the top of my list.  And I’m also trying to incorporate the kids’ new Christmas stuff into the playroom. 

Speaking of the playroom, swipe to see the storage and organization bins we already have, along with the cart I just ordered. 

Also listed some Amazon Christmas storage in case you are haven’t taken yours down yet and are looking for some ideas.  It’s where we got  our Christmas tree storage bag.

Everything linked in the liketoknow.it app! Happy Saturday:)

Raise your hand if 2020 looked anything like the p Raise your hand if 2020 looked anything like the plans you made for it at the end of last year! 

Yeah? Me neither. 

But you know what? With all the vacations cancelled and time spent with family lost, I never would have guessed I’d have had the amount of time on my hands to devote to growing my online business—which not only doubled but grew 3-fold this year! 

I learned that focusing on the positives and vowing to make my time at home this year productive is what helped a lot.  Adaptation is the key to making it in an ever-changing world. 

Ok,  time to celebrate and make our annual New Year’s Eve tradition: homemade banana cream pie. Cheers to a New Year friends!! 🥂🍾
