The weather outside is //
As I look outside my window // It’s starting to get chilly out there, especially with the wind! We still have a few homestead projects to finish, but it’s getting harder to get excited about them. We’re just going to have to pile on the layers and get ‘er done. I was just telling my husband that once we get to January, I’m going to collapse by the fire and not move for an entire month! I am so proud of all we’ve accomplished in 2021, but whew! It’s hard work.
As I look around the house // My 30 day super mega declutter/reselling challenge is officially over, but I’ve still got my eyes peeled for more things to go.
So excited about // the new 2022 planner I just purchased! I have loved using The Saintmaker the past few months, but I’ve ultimately decided that the daily pages are really unnecessary at this point in my life. I was looking for new options when I found The Home Planner from Passionate Penny Pincher and it is perfect! I love all of the checklists, there’s enough space in the daily boxes and it even has a section for budgeting. I can’t wait to start using it in January! (P.S. I have a referral link so you can get $5 off your purchase if you’re in the market for a planner too!)
On this week’s to-do list //
– order chocolate coins for the Feast of Saint Nicholas
– bake a blueberry pie
– deep clean the kitchen, top to bottom!
– start reflecting on 2021 and brainstorm new goals for 2022
