goals and plans for 2019


I never know how to plan my year -- I see so many pros and cons to any way that people do it. So I guess this is just kind of a thought dump of some of the main things I want to see for myself in 2019.

12 concrete goals:
  • Make a plan for limiting my social media usage and stick to it
  • Create systems for: working, cleaning, cooking/meal planning, daily activities with Ada, family activities
  • Create sleep guides for my business
  • Learn to drive stick
  • Start our first garden
  • Digitize all photos before 2006
  • Make a mixbook (or multiple mixbooks) of my life up til marriage
  • Read 24 books (12 on sleep, 12 on anything else)
  • Get together with girlfriends I don't see much (or ever) anymore once/month
  • Find a way to spend one-on-one time with my dad monthly
  • Go for tea at the Grand America (bonus points if it's for Witches high tea!)
  • Keep my "gift for Jesus" at the forefront of my mind (and actions)

Some daily habit-type goals:
  • At least 10 minutes of 
    • scripture reading each morning
    • superthinking each morning
    • thought downloads and models each evening
    • book reading each evening

And I have so many other things that I want to do in addition to the lists above, the main ones being:
  • Get pregnant and have a baby!
  • Figure out what I want to have for "healthy habits," and do them.
  • Completely declutter the house!
  • Digitally declutter my phone and computer.
  • Have playdates pretty much weekly.

So we'll see how everything goes! I think if I use my time well and stay committed, I can do all the things on the top two lists, and maybe even the bottom list. Let's do this, 2019!

What are your goals this year?

our first murder mystery

A murder mystery been on my "party list" for ages, but I've never gotten around to throwing one (probably because there are too many other ideas on my party list haha). So even though we were planning to do Harry Potter movie parties every Friday and Saturday in October, when my friend asked if we'd be available for a murder mystery, I told her I would rearrange my schedule to be there! Haha :) When the actual invitation came, I was super impressed because it was so themed and legit! Diana went above and beyond -- the kit they bought (from  Night of Mystery ) came with invitations, but she had someone design different ones that were so awesome. Girl knows how to get the party started right from the get-go! I had heard about and seen other murder mysteries before, and the main thing I always heard about was people dressing up. It was so fun to arrive at Diana and Michael's and find that everyone had really gone all out with their costumes! Wigs,...

Lately I have been looking for a nice purse. I always carry a bag around, and so I want something that looks nicer and more grown-up. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind! So for today's 5 on Friday, I'm showing the options I have. Please help me out! :) one.   couldn't find a picture online so . . . you get my inadequate photography skills on this one :) Cobalt Bag: Burlington Coat Factory Similar:  A.   B. ++pros big enough to fit my planner best price ----cons might be bigger than I want limited organizational features (only two giant sections; no smaller compartments and zipper areas) two.  Coral Bag:  Target ++pros smaller size love  all of the compartmental options ----cons I have a lot of shirts this color, so it will look either too matchy-matchy, or the two very similar colors will clash won't fit my planner three. sidenote: I don't actually wear cross-body purses across my body ...

one.  Remember that secret I mentioned last week ? Well I guess I'll tell you now, only it's in a sad way rather than an excited way. We were contemplating moving to England for six months sometime next year (around May). It was a secret because we hadn't decided whether or not we were going to do it yet. But now we've made our decision, and we're not doing it. But I figured I should still mention it since I left you all hanging last week. Someday . . .  two.  As I browse blogs, I often come across bloggers wearing adorable clothes and linking up where they got the clothes from. They always say stuff like "I got this amazing dress, and it's so affordable! " I'm amazed to see what prices people call "affordable." And I'm not trying to be mean--I just think I have a different definition of "affordable." I could afford  just about any outfit that people post about. But I'm a bargain shopper. I don't pay more...
