December Goal Update!

For only being 6 days into the month I have completed quite a few things off of my bucket list, as well as a lot of things off of my regular to-do list, and some things I didn't even plan.  

 My favorite trip to make every year (how did I forget it on my bucket list) is to the Wildwood Manor House for a Holiday tour!  I even had some wonderful people join me, and we signed up to decorate a room of our own next year!



1.  Read 4 Holiday Themed Books (2 books started!)
2.  Send Out Holiday Cards to Friends & Family, by 12/5 (My last order was finally delivered to me yesterday, so they were all in the mail this morning!)
3.  Take a Family Picture, Including the Entire Litter (We took one last night, but I think I want another one complete with santa hats and princess crowns this weekend!)
4.  Bake Christmas Cookies (We made cookies last night with a wonderful helper!  Check out the pictures below....)

She LOVED the sprinkles!!!


They were very focused... this is intense work!




 5.  Create a Rice Krispy Train (Everything for this is purchased, just not put together yet)
6.  Holiday Decor Up, by 12/5 (My amazing husband finished this up while I was at work on Wednesday, what a wonderful treat to come home to!)

7.  All Gifts Purchased/Made, by 12/9 (We only have 1 more person to shop for, and I am so thankful to be away from the malls and the stores so early in the month)
8.  All Gifts Wrapped & Separated by Families, by 12/16
9.  Host Family Dinner for In-Laws, 12/23
10. Visit The Lights at The Toledo Zoo
11. Adopt a Family in Need for Christmas (The family was adopted, shopping is done, and we are dropping everything off on Monday for their Holiday Celebration)
12. Enjoy Hot Chocolate at least Once a Week (Of course I have already enjoyed Hot Chocolate twice this week... but that doesn't mean I will take a week off)
13. Take Treats to Neighbors with Thank You Notes
14. Watch 2 Christmas Movies
15. Host Holiday Party for my Work Team

Giving Thanks, Day 13

Today I am thankful for trade shows and all of the fun stuff that vendors hand out to everyone for free! We had a trade show today for 55 companies in the area.  It was amazing all of the things that were handed out; movie passes, note pads, pens, hand sanitizer, etc.  The things that you can always use, but usually don't want to pay for. My favorite is always note pads.  I love all the different shapes and sizes, and it helps to give me the motivation to start new lists and gives me the goal to work all the way through the stack of paper, before getting bored or moving on to a new idea or set of projects. What kinds of things do you like to get for free?!

Learning about Catering, and Myself!

Last week I was in Las Vegas, attending CaterSource Catering Convention. I learned so many things about myself, my work, and the people that I am surrounded by.  Some good and some bad, but all have helped me to realize more of what I want for my life. Over the last year I have realized how important it is to take the time to make these realizations.  I need to know the my strengths so I can keep them going.  I need to know my weaknesses so that I can work them.  I also need to know my goals.  Even if they are ever-changing goals, I still need to know them.  If I am walking through my days just hoping for the best then I never know if I get anywhere. I have realized that as much as I used to love doing surveys that I have now found them to tedious.  I would much rather be part of focus groups and interviews.  Not only do they make more money for my time investment, but they also do not take constant attention, whether it be daily or weekly.

8 Weeks Later....

I just realized that I fell off the face of the blog world 8 weeks ago!   I was finally starting to get back on track with organizing, cleaning, and work when I just forgot how to manage my time! Over the last weeks I have made so many memories, enjoyed so much time with family and friends, and traveled to Denver, Cub Lake, Cedar Point, and back home again!  I have celebrated my 4th Wedding Anniversary to the man of my dreams as well as my grandma's 80th Birthday!  I have welcomed a great nephew (Jerry) , an amazing 2nd cousin (Brock), and a beautiful little friend (Sirena) into the world!  And last, but not least, I have decided that I am perfectly at peace with my life, no matter what comes my way. Now that July is finally behind us and August is starting anew, so are my new hopes, dreams, and goals!  I will share them as they become closer to reality, and I have a plan of action on how to handle everything. For this month I am hoping to stop in at leas...
