My goal in February was to learn more about my Apple Watch. Brian gifted me the watch last August and it really has become one of my favorite gadgets, yet there was still a lot I didn't know about it. So, I thought I'd devote an entire month and do a blog post to share my findings! Apple Watch Face I have my Apple Watch set to the most common watch face, which you'll see in the first photo of this blog post. Two of my favorite items on the screen are the current temperature (you'd never believe how often I check that!) and the little round circle which tells you my activity for the day. It also includes the time (duh), date, when the sun will rise or set (another handy feature!) and the next activity. Usually it only shows 1 activity, but I had TWO at the same time when I took that photo. There are many, many other faces you can select for your Apple Watch and you don't have to show everything on your screen. There is even Mickey Mouse face! I am planning on switchi...

Last year I set 3 goals every month for myself and I accomplished a lot! This year, I wanted to down play it even more and just set ONE goal for myself. However, with just one goal each month I hope to devote more time to it. You can find an update on February's Goal below. In March... I'd like to create a Short Form Facebook video ! I have been seeing these pop up all over Facebook and I've been interested in trying to do one myself. If you don't know what these are, it is a video that usually goes along with a blog post. It shows how to do something. The video is usually 30 seconds to 1 minute in length. I would like to show how to make a recipe in my video and then I'll have an accompanying blog post of the recipe to go with the video.  I was working on creating some unboxing videos last year that I published on my You Tube page , but I haven't created a video in 5 months! Seriously, that is a long time. I've probably forgotten how to use iMovie! I also h...

Last year I set 3 goals every month for myself and I accomplished a lot! This year, I wanted to down play it even more and just set ONE goal for myself. However, with just one goal each month I hope to devote more time to it. I did a little recap on January's Goal below, BUT if you visited the blog yesterday you saw that I did indeed get the IKEA Shelves decorated ! It was a lot of work, so I thought instead of doing a home decor or improvement project this month (because I need a little break!) I'd do something I've been wanting to do awhile and that won't take as much time.  Drumroll. In February I want to learn more about my Apple Watch! Brian purchased an Apple Watch for me for my birthday last August and I just LOVE it!  There are so many neat features on it, but yet there is SO much more that I haven't even figured out. I would love to take some time out this month to get to know my watch better. I would also love to share a post in February about what I'v...

Hi everyone! Well, it is the LAST month of the year. Where does time go? Today I'm sharing my December Goals and how I did on my November Goals... In 2017 (goodness, I can remember when we brought in 2000!) I will be changing it up a bit. Starting in JANUARY ... I will be setting ONE goal for each month instead of THREE. This will give me a little more time to work on just ONE goal and I hope to make progress on some of my larger goals! Here are my December Goals! 1.  Figure out Menu for Christmas Eve (my family is coming over) We always have my side of the family over around Christmas and this year we are doing a Christmas Eve lunch. Brian usually prepares the main dish and I make the sides and dessert. We need to figure out the menu, which is always so much fun. :) 2. New TV Area with Shelves (from IKEA!) This is mainly a goal for Brian (ha, ha!), but we have been wanting to update our TV area in the family room for AGES. We have an old rear projection TV that my brother gav...

Happy Halloween everyone! We are going to have weather in the mid-70's today, so trick or treating tonight will be nice! Everyone enjoy your day and stay safe... I know I'll be stuffing my face full of my favorite Halloween candies (Snickers, PB Cups, etc., etc.) all day. ;) This year I've decided to set  three monthly goals  for myself each month. These will be lighter goals that I should be able to finish within the month. I used to do yearly resolutions, but I wanted to try out monthly goals this year. I am really enjoying it so far and I feel like I accomplished a lot with my January-October Goals. The recap for my October Goals will be at the bottom of this post. Here are my November Goals! 1.  Decorate House for Christmas I have a Holiday Home Tour I am doing with some other bloggers in early December and I wanted to get a head start on my Christmas decor. I always decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving, but we are going to be busy and it'd be nice to decorate BE...
