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

Looking for a quick, easy way to make some extra money?  Check out YouData. It is not a huge money maker, but the pennies add up with time, and it is always nice to see a few extra cents get added into the budget, for something that you normally do on a daily basis...look at ads and watch commercials! Here is a copy of my referral email if you would like to join under my account (which I would be grateful for), or you can always visit the site on your own to sign up! I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData ( youdata.com ). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid fo...

A Week of Golf

In 2017 my team was tasked with exciting job of catering to the LPGA Marathon Classic for their week long golf tournament here in town.  We had less then 4 months to prepare, and we had never done anything on such a large scale before.  It was both exhilarating and terrifying, especially for an Enneagram 6 like me.  We are loyal and committed, but our biggest needs are security, and we fear not having the support and guidance needed.  What a way to walk into a task like this.   I was suddenly tasked with finding organizations to fill close to 200 shifts for concession stands, as well as around 75 employees to help me make this event a reality.  It took a lot of time, planning, questions, stress, and a roller coaster of emotions, but we did it!  It was amazing the feeling that you have after you accomplish something like that. Since then we have continued to receive this job each July, and each year has gotten a little easier.  We have ha...

Ready for Autumn?!

When school starts, that means it's time for the routines to set in, new schedules and activities to begin, and best of all....the weather to cool off and Fall Fun can Begin! I love jeans, sweatshirts, boots, bonfires, apple cider, pumpkin patches, even football.  Give me anything and everything fall!  However, this heat wave does not pair well with warm doughnuts and apple cider - it just makes for bees and overheating.  The pumpkin patches aren't as fun because you don't have on jeans and boots and crisp weather to make it more fun.  The barns stink from the heat when you are trying to feed the cows and enjoy the animals around the farm. This weekend we are going to make our Fall Bucket List and wish for a little chill in a the air so we can enjoy this beautiful season of life we are given.   We will continue to make new goals, improve on our good habits, and find new ways to love each other to the fullest.
