December Daily Gratitude #26:
Today I’m grateful for everyone who has helped watch Eleanor this year. She’s so much fun, but mommy really needs a break sometimes. My mother-in-law flew home today, so I’m probably not going to have help watching Ellie in the next few weeks. I just want to acknowledge the fact that it really helps me out when my family comes to help me to watch Eleanor.
Day #26 – Christmas Hangover…
Seriously the Christmas Hangover is real. I’m so exhausted. I think we’re all exhausted from the excitement of yesterday. Mom came to pick up Ilima this morning. Then my MIL and I made Portuguese Bean Soup (thanks again Rich Lum!). And then we had to take my MIL to the airport. We’re so grateful for the time we got to spend together this holiday season, but I’m so sad that everyone has gone home. Maybe Ellie and I will need to bust out the jogging stroller tomorrow and take a long walk. I’m going to need to keep her busy in the next few weeks.
I received a lot of wonderful thoughtful gifts from my family this year. I’m particularly excited about my new Disney Happy Planner collection. Because that’s going to make 2021 awesome right? What 2020 was missing. Disney princesses are going so solve all of my problems, right?! Ok but in all seriousness, I’m trying to decide what to do with my new planner. I have a planner system that I use for my everyday life, so I’ll stick to that because it’s actually working for me. But I think I’m going to use this planner for my decluttering goals.
What I’ve noticed throughout this Doing December Daily challenge is that I don’t have a deadline for when I want things to be decluttered. No real long term or short term goals with deadlines and no clear vision of what I’m trying to achieve. So I’ve decided to do some research and come up with a better plan to get rid of things in our house. (Which is going to include weekly drop offs at Goodwill or BNO group). So I’ll be using the next few days planning and setting up my planners and calendars for 2021, and if I remember I will take photos and share them here too.〜
Fun reading for me! I applaud you! With new baby, where will you find the time or energy?
I don’t know yet, I’ll let you know when I get there!!
