Before I get started — a bit of housekeeping! Two tickets for Red + White on Thursday Night are still up for grabs, so head on over to the giveaway and enter!

I’m grateful to have a fresh start with this brand new week. Sure, for most this ‘fresh start’ happens on January 1st. But at this point, I’m fine with pushing it back 8+ days. Ha!
I’m actually content after having a really good family day yesterday. Sure, it was mostly boring. I mean, all we did was go to Costco! But, still, it was the best day we’ve had in weeks. Weeks!!
I wish for health for the remainder of this year. I know, I know. But a girl can dream, right!? Fingers crossed, y’all!
I really am happy that it’s a new year. It came and went with little fanfare for us, but I promise there will be more on my plans for 2017 — soon! I’ve just been too busy trying to keep people healthy to put my plans into words and into actions, but very, very, soon!
Weekly Mantra:

Have an absolutely wonderful week, friends! xo
This was great! Perfect timing! Thank you so much for sharing!! <3
This quote is perfect!!! A fresh start is a fresh start even 8 days late! ?
I needed to read this today. I will have to put this quote up somewhere in my house so I remember to repeat it to myself. Thank you for the inspiration!
Sometimes all you can do is breathe! The days and weeks can be crazy but enjoying the little things like a successful visit to Costco can make all the difference.
Sometimes the normal “boring” days with the family (going grocery shopping, errands) are my favorite 🙂 Especially after a rough couple of weeks. Mantras help me so much too! I hope this week is much smoother for you!! <3
For a minute there I thought you were talking about my life ? I can completely relate. The last few weeks have been tough here too. I hope this get better for you. I love your positive attitude and Maya Angelou definitely has the right ideas. Thanks for sharing!
