Greetings, friends! Thanks so much for your kinds words of encouragement on my personal goals post last week. I'm always a little skiddish about putting them out there, but -- accountability, folks! The last couple of weeks got busy with prepping for and opening registration for next school year (can you believe it??). I spent MLK Day purging kitchen cabinets and my cookbooks -- does anybody hold onto cookbooks anymore? While I only … [Read more...]
Personal Goals for 2017: Let’s Do This!
January 9, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Greetings, friends! Anyone else limping back into reality last week?? I had a college kiddo still home until yesterday so even though I'm back at work, I'm having a hard time finding routine. Oh well, it will come, I'm sure! I spent some time over the break thinking about my personal goals for the coming year. It's going to be another year of big changes so any hopes of status quo or coasting have gone out the window. While I could … [Read more...]
Home Goals 2016
February 29, 2016 by · 4 Comments
Better late than never, y'all! I've been working on these gradually over the last several weeks and it's finally time to share. I call them my "goals" because inevitably something more urgent will pop up and consume time and resources to addresses. Last year the majority of my home goals went untouched due to Legacy, so some of these will ring a bell. But I do think it's worth it to think through what I'd like to update and accomplish … [Read more...]
It’s All About the Margin… {Personal Goal}
January 19, 2015 by · 3 Comments
Happy Monday, friends... I'm off for MLK Day today and what a delicious gift a simple day off can be! I know -- I just returned to work after two weeks of Christmas vacation, but if you recall I was traveling heavily and also dealing with serious turmoil at my school so my "break" was not a restful one. And oh, how I need rest. Don't we all? I've been thinking a lot lately about how to restore some margin in my world -- you know -- that … [Read more...]

January Recap {In Case You Missed It}
February 3, 2014 by · 3 Comments
February?? Wow... not sure how that happened. For a month that's supposed be of the "slowing down" sort that I love, January sure sped by. We had such an enjoyable weekend and I cooked up a storm for our little Super Bowl party yesterday. Got a new crock pot recipe to share soon, so stay tuned! I was looking back at my posts last month and while there were definitely projects, there was lots of "other"... thoughts, goals, reads. That's my … [Read more...]
Gettin’ Personal: My Goals for 2014
January 10, 2014 by · 6 Comments
A few years ago I gave up making New Year's resolutions. I usually struggled to come up with that one thing on which to focus my efforts, and though I'd start off strong (and resolute!), by February it had usually fallen by the wayside. Then I was left with that sense of failure and that well, why bother now? mindset that gets you nowhere. So one January when I was laid up with the flu, in the midst of an ice/snow storm that provided an … [Read more...]
