Well a week has pasted and hubby and I have sat down and worked on our goals for this coming year of 2022. The first week in January is always a vacation to me. I love the peace after all the Holiday’s and the freshness of the new year. We pack up Christmas gave the house a good once over cleaning and sit down to reflect on the past year while we jot down new goals for the new year. This will be an exciting year with all we have to look forward to and projects big and small we have planned. We put a lot down on our lists, so this will be a big undertaking but we are up for the Challenge. I get inspired each year with my favorite 3 blogs/you-tubers (The Prudent Homemaker, The Elliot Homestead, and One hundred dollar a month). These ladies are incredible, down to earth, make things beautiful, don’t spend ton of money and are family oriented! Just the type of people I love. So after reading and watching some ideas, Hubby and I are set to ring in the new year with goals. Like these ladies say we like the word Goals around here not new years resolutions. I am not trying to change and bad habit of the past but looking to the future for items to challenge me and project to accomplish. This truly will be an exciting year and I hope you come along with me on our journey.
I have broken down our goals in sections. We may or may not get all this done this year but it’s something to strive for. So here is the list and I hope it will give you ideas as well and some inspiration.

Friday I will re-post my goals with updates on how we are doing. Tuesday-Thursday will be a combo of visiting new places, ideas of new books, new recipes, projects we are working on, or maybe even holiday fun.
Ok here we go!
