I've never really set goals or resolutions for myself. Okay, I lied. One year I did not shop for the entire year, but other than that, I usually a no goal gal.
This year my only goal is to slow down and say no.
If I don't want to go to the _______ party, I decline. If I don't want to bring homemade cookies, I bring store bought. If I don't want to throw my 1-year a huge birthday party, I'm not (because he won't even remember). If I don't want to leave the house all weekend, I won't.
The last three weekends we have been at home and done whatever we wanted. And, it has been SO nice. For the first time in a LONG time I don't feel like I'm running on fumes, or that I'm having to shuffle from one event to the next. We are able to be at home and play with G and watch him grow. It's been so nice.
Now that doesn't mean we will decline everything, but Chris and I are both being very picky about how we spend our free time.
Graham is only little for so long and in order to enjoy him, slowing down is a must.
What's your 2017 goal?
Love this goal. I always hate weekends where I feel like I did more running than resting. Sometimes a girl just needs to say no.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
I love this!! We do the same things. There are many weekends that we do nothing but hang out as a family. We drive around looking for a new neighborhood, we visit new bbq places, we run errands. The core factor is that we are together as a family and enjoying life together.
ReplyDeleteLife you said, they are only young once. We want to enjoy the time with them and make memories together.
This is a great goal...and if you can get use to this now while your little is small it will so save your sanity in future years.
ReplyDeleteI love this goal! Just saying no and not feeling like you have to have an excuse or reason to. It's just because you simply don't feel like it.
