Weekly Wishes #3

Filed Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Weekly Wishes

We had such a great time in Florida this past week. You can see a bunch of photos from our vacation on my instagram. I hope to share more soon!

Last Week’s Wishes

Have fun with our family in Florida. Catch up with some friends that moved to Florida a few years ago. Continue with eating healthier food even while we are out of town. When we get home wash all our clothes from Vacation.

We had a blast. Of course with any family vacation there was some arguing, etc. Overall though it was a lot of fun. Just wish it would have been warmer! Plans changed and I wasn’t able to meet up with my friends. So sad. I actually did not gain any weight this week. I maintained. Even though we ate out a lot I tried to eat less. We did cook some meals at the condo though. I started the laundry but still have a lot to do and a lot to put away.

 This Week’s Wishes

  1. Finish the Laundry.
  2. Cook more meals at home.
  3. Organize and declutter our kitchen.
  4. Make a big donation to the local Goodwill.
  5. Make it to the gym at least twice this week and do some walking.
  6. Take more photos of the boys with my DSLR and print more photos.

What are your goals for this week?

    I keep thinking I should do my own set of wishes but so afraid I'll just set myself up for failure =(
    • Sarah says

      January 21, 2014 at 6:56 pm

      NO! You should do it. It totally helps keep me accountable. I have definitely not done great on my wishes this past week. I will just keep putting them on till they get done.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
