As I sit here with this new planner in front of me, I realize I have 365 days of endless possibilities, new beginnings, and second chances.

 

When choosing this planner, a new style for me, the title on this one hit me – The Best is Yet to Come.

What did you accomplish in 2017?

What are your plans and hopes for 2018?

Looking at these blank dates for a brand new year I stop to think what are my priorities to fill each space.  Family time, TV segments, and working on my blog seems to fill up most of the time.  

At the top of most everyone’s resolution list is lose weight, get healthier, get organized, travel more, enjoy life, etc. And yes I can agree with most of these.

But can it happpen in a day – a week – a month? Only if you take baby steps to accomplish this? Can your whole house get organized in January? Probably not, but maybe a room can or even an area like your closet.

Don’t think about the big picture or you quickly get overwhelmed.

My pantry is starting to get cleaned today and hopefully my kitchen can get re-organized over the next week.

Maybe I’ll post here weekly how my cleaning and organizing is going so you can hold me accountable.  

What are your goals or resolutions?

Share your best tips and secrets to what you want to accomplish.

Are you traveling this year? Where to? We hope to visit Florida again, see New York City, and Washington DC.

Here’s to a happy and healthy to all of you, my dear friends. Stay warm.

Sharing is caring!

    My goal for this year is to simplify my life. I’m learning to work smarter and not harder in regards to my blog. I’ve been battling the flu for the past week and I’ve had time to do a lot of thinking and goal setting. I believe 2018 will be an amazing year.

    A new year is always exciting, what will the days bring, what will happen – there’s a whole new story to start writing.

    I always look forward to the new year as a new beginning on a grander scale. When the entire world is one accord of hope and goal setting. On a smaller note, I embrace each day as a new opportunity for change. A time to set a goal and accomplish it. Here’s to a year full of wonder!

    My goal this year is to Praise God on a daily bases. To work on finding new ways to shine for Him and His glory throughout my everyday life and choices.

    Happy New Year! I love getting a new planner! I got one this year that has adult coloring pages in it! I didn’t realize how much I love coloring until my kids ask me to color with them. Now I have my own thing right in my planner. I’m also cleaning the pantry this week! Hope your new year starts off great!

    The pantry. That’s definitely on my list. It’s gotten away from me. I need to purge it of old spices and mixes and items we’re just not going to eat. Hmm… I see a sick day soon.

      I got my pantry cleaned out a bit, but I so need better shelving. These wire shelves are horrible.

    2017 was an awful year for me. I lost my beloved Nana and Aunt and the world definitely took a turn for the worst. I am so hopeful for 2018…I just need my kids to feel better and for pink eye to get banished from my house!

    We hope to travel overseas and visit my family but I don’t know if financially it would be feasible, we will see. Last year was a great year despite losing two love ones.

Thanks for stopping by as we talk all things home and travel. I was doing “DIY” before it was the thing to do. I was born in a big city and lived on farms growing up in small towns. Now I live in what some would consider a moderately big city. I still enjoy the common things associated with a home, mainly cooking and decorating, but always make time for travel. Maybe it’s finding something fun in my hometown, or exploring new places on a road trip or cruise. Please pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and let’s talk about it. Read more
