The first month of 2015 is FINALLY over. I am not sure about you, but it seemed like the longest month of the year. See what I did there? Maybe I just crack myself up.

Starting with the end of this month, I have decided to use the last Friday of the month to recap my month. Both blog wise and personal life wise. It's a great way to be thankful for things and bonus, that 2015 end of year post will go a lot quicker.

1// My 2015 goals went from painting my nails to being a better wife. Just a month into the new year and I have already made some progress with these. You can see most of my "hard work" for these on my Instagram.


2//January always starts off with a little bit of sadness every year. It is not my favorite month but I find that every year it gets a little better. It also helps when you get to write your feelings and see just how you have grown through your posts every year at this time.


3//I worked hard on my editorial calendar and have a plan for this blog. I feel better now that it is all written out and I am working towards an ultimate goal with this. The blog might have had scarce posts this month but I was a busy bee behind the scenes. I even took you behind the scenes of the blog and my day this month. And maybe this month I can do both!


4// A squirrel hit me where it hurts. By chewing apart my car. Literally. I have been without a car for almost a whole month. How I am not going crazy by now I am not too sure. But I tried to look on the bright side of not having a car.


5//My fitness routine has really jumped up. I might even feel a little less jiggle in the booty area. The pounds are quite budging yet but muscle weighs more than fat, right? This month I really want to focus more on my eating. The snacks get me every time and eating healthy can be quite an effort.

See you in February!

 

Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!

OOPS.

It seems the holidays got away from me very quickly. And now here we are in a brand new year! Time to start anew and make resolutions that we know we actually want to do so we will keep.

What's your resolution in 2011?

My resolution is to be more organized. Because I will admit everything is chaotic and disorganized right now. Life included. Commence the storage tote buying and post it notes on my computer. It also helps having a sweet new laptop to start my organization on  Thank you Santa!

Today I started with the Christmas decorations. I sorted ornaments and decorations accordingly. Even ordered myself a storage bag for my tree since the cardboard box it came in has seen better days. I also added more detailed job search emails. This is hopefully going to increase my chances of finding a job. Fingers crossed.

Either way, 2011 feels like it will be a great year. Things are going to happen and when I look back a year from now I can say, "Wow what a year." and it will mean the best thing possible. My years seem to be getting better little by little since my mom has been gone and this year won't be any different. Continue to work my hardest and make sure my mom is smiling down on me.

So remember to always have hope that this year will be better than the last. Because majority of the time it will be.
