Happy December! I am currently sitting by my twinkling Christmas tree, with a doggie curled up beside me, feeling so grateful to be in our house finally spending some time blogging. I only blogged once in November and I’m sad about it :( I don’t even really have a good reason why I got so out of the groove . . . it just wasn’t happening for whatever reason. But I never miss a monthly goals post, so here I am on December 1!
Grace and I had a wonderful first Thanksgiving together in North Carolina last week. Being home was so full of the good stuff. My mom also got to meet Grace’s grandmother, which was really special. All in all just a perfect visit. Too short!
I made progress on a few of my November goals and also left a few uncompleted. That’s okay. Here’s how I did:
Cook and bake for people I love all month long—yes, definitely! I made all kinds of good things, most especially homemade cinnamon rolls that I cannot wait to make again at Christmas.
Get our Christmas cards stamped, addressed, and ready to send out—I’ve gotten a bunch done but still have some to do. That’s okay because it’s going to be even sweeter writing them while curled up beside the Christmas tree!
Enjoy the last of our Fall bucket list—yes! Making our Winter one is on my December goals list.
Order my 2020 planner—yep! So pretty. I got one from Rifle Paper this year.
Get flu shots with Grace—halfway. I got a flu shot, Grace did not because she was traveling and I just needed to get it done while she was gone. At least half of the household is immunized.
Get organized for 2020 health insurance—no, didn’t happen (mostly because Grace and I were either apart or away from home the majority of the month, and I needed to sit down with her to do it. Will happen the first half of December).
Take a social media break 2 days a week (putting this here to actually hold myself accountable)—I did this some weeks, but not every week. This might sound cheesy, but the main reason I fell off the wagon on this is because Grace was out of town for a big part of the month and I missed her and wanted to watch her IG stories so I could follow along with what she was up to while traveling. I feel like that’s okay though because that’s social media at its best! Being able to keep up with loved ones who are far away :)
And here are my December goals! Hoping to finish the year well!
Sign up for 2020 health insurance for both of us
Make our Winter bucket list
Start on a personal writing project
Observe Advent
Be cozy, soak in the season, and rest
Wishing you a wonderful start to the month, and if you celebrate Christmas, a very happy beginning of the Christmas season! We decorated the house this weekend and it’s bringing me so much joy!
