Hello 2024

Another year, another post. 

The best part of the New Year is that it's the first of the month obviously and that it lands on a Monday.  Not only is the beginning of a new year but also month and week! It just calls for a good year.  Every year I usually make mental New Year goals for myself.  However, this time around I would like to actually let you guys know.  

Home-made meals || Unfortunately, 2021 was our downfall for eating out.  We would spend roughly around $500-$700 a week.  Yes, most of our money went towards, groceries and eating out.  At the end of that year, we vowed to do better.  In 2022, we did do better since I had to have home-made meals due to my pregnancy but there were times we would eat out.  However, when I gave birth in Oct 2022 I did not cook until June 2023.  Yeah, I know.  My point is I would like to do better.  I would like for my toddler to eat actual meals.  Plus, it's hard to feed her when we go out to eat.  Lately, I've been enjoying cooking dinner the only thing I hate is the lack of space we have.  So, we’ll see how this goes.  If you guys have any recipes send them my way, hehe. 

Self Love ||  At the end of the year I noticed I lacked a lot of self-love.  I noticed I didn't have any selfies or videos of anything really.  My camera roll was nothing but cups and my daughter.  I would like to change that and feel myself a little bit.  However, in an unselfish way.  My daughter will always be a priority and that will never change, I just have to add myself into the mix. 

Make time for the things I love ||  This year I would love to give myself more time do to the things I love.  That includes my blog, vlogging, and doing polymer clay.  When I tell you, that I genuinely love those things. I truly do!  They bring me so much joy.   

Journaling ||  I realized journaling helps so much.  I just wish to journal more than when I’m feeling “depressed.”  Expressing myself in writing is therapeutic af.  

Control my sugar || I know I can’t change everything overnight, but I do want to get into a better routine.  A routine is a starter to control my sugar.  While I transition into working out a routine/schedule.  I can start cutting things out.  My New Year goal is to cut out soda for now.  I do have many more foods I want to cut out but slowly.  I cut myself cold turkey last year and that hurt me mentally.  I want to do it better this time. 

With these 5 goals for the year, I hope to see positive change within myself.  This year is the year of self-love and self-care.  I hope you guys have an amazing year.  I wish to hear about any resolutions you may have.
