Last year I chose 4 words to stick to: Strive, Flourish, Balance and Nourish. Now looking back over 2021 I think that as a family we really hit the mark with those words. I wanted to strive and flourish for my own well being, meaning I wanted to focus on being emotionally and physically healthy. I wanted to find balance by taking the time to play more with the kids and do more as a family. Nourish, for this I wanted to nourish all aspects of my life, marriage by going on dates, body by running and eating better and my brain by going back to school. So lets take a look as some of the fun things we achieved in 2021.
A big thing I did was step back from my blog, writing way way less and just focusing on family. This helped me so much on where I wanted my blog to go. It had me looking at the bigger picture and trying to figuring out what type of route I wanted to take it on. And that is why is had a new name, that I LOVE!
I started running and made huge strides to get myself out running with the kids too! I invested in good running shoes and even bought a jogging stroller so I could run with the kids. It was hard, so hard but so so worth it even if I am just a 5k-10k runner it is better than nothing at all. My proudest was running a 10k and signing up for a 5k mothers day run.
As a family we went camping, starting taking the weekends off, gardened and really dialed in where we want our family to be in the next 3 years. We are fixing up the last things on our house then planning on buying a new one with land, and an extra bedroom. hint hint! So the next year should be filled with lots of excitement.
Some of these things seem so so small but the small tings are what count! So for 2022 I am so excited what is in store for us.
