2021 Goals

Each year is a chance to start working on some new goals, adjusting previous goals, and crossing out goals that no longer apply. Personally, I love to physically write my goals down, yes with pen on paper lol. I enjoy being able to write each down with notes about what needs to be done to accomplish them. It allows me to cross off what is completed and also make any adjustments throughout the year. I feel establishing goals for yourself is a way to keep you motivated, hold yourself accountable, and also keep you focused on your bigger picture. You can set short term (3 months, 6 months, 1 year) and long term goals (3 years, 5 years, lifetime).

Below are some of my 2021 goals I wanted to share with y’all (in no specific order):

  1. Purchase a home
  2. Establish an LLC
  3. Create and maintain a workout routine
  4. Grow my blog by posting regularly to increase traffic
  5. Update my blog logo (already done)
  6. Get better at my job (more organized, increase involvement)
  7. Read actual books (at least 3)
  8. Learn more about the stock market and grow portfolio
  9. Strengthen my spirituality
  10. Get my daughter into a sport

Do you make goals for yourself each year? What’s your method of keeping track and holding yourself accountable?

Happy New Year! Let’s make 2021 our year!

Food, Travel

Who Doesn’t Love a Weekend Full of Food?

When anyone invites us to go camping or we make a plan to go, the first thing on our minds is: What are we going to eat? 🏕

Camping isn’t just about being out in nature! A huge part for us has been the food. I mean who doesn’t love to eat? 🥩🍗

This last camping trip we were fortunate enough to eat feast after feast after feast and no I’m not kidding lol. Some of us made breakfast and others made lunch/dinner. I mean honestly it seemed like the cooking didn’t stop so who really knows which meal it was lol. 🍽

These are just some pics of dishes we enjoyed during our trip: pupusas, skirt steak, pinchos, & grilled wings. 😍

Family

Hello October!

It’s officially October and that means pumpkin spice lattes, apple and pumpkin picking, and Halloween!

I won’t lie I am not the biggest fan of Halloween but for these two I def pretend to be haha.

This year we rushed to get into the spirit and actually purchased two pumpkins to carve ourselves. My daughter and I did the cleaning and my fiancé helped carve the faces. My son wasn’t too much help since he’s so small but he def loved seeing them light up.

This was a great family activity that didn’t take up too much time. It’s also a great way to get the kids away from technology for a bit and really opens up time for conversation. It’s truly amazing the things kids will speak about when given the time and space for it!

What fun things are you doing with your families this fall?
