Of course it takes effort, everything in life takes effort, but it can be done. With enough practice, I could force my own reality onto this coin. With enough hard work, I could change the future. Maybe predicting it wasn’t possible, but changing it … . yes, changing it is.

Another goal that I set is to be more laid back and more genuine in my posts – because this blog is still so new, I feel like I’ve been a bit stilted and have been holding back. It’s difficult because I only get little spurts of writing time with two babies running around, so I just try to get the basics out and then hit PUBLISH. My thought is that now that I’m working only part-time, there will be more time to put into this!

I let the children lead me. Emergent curriculum at it’s best! And it definitely prevents burnout or boredom. Here’s the thing – when there is a great moment, even on a terrible day, I go home and write about it, because it is all those little, great moments that are the most important. I never want to forget that.

My daughter is only two months old, and she is a charmer. She takes up a lot of my time, but I shouldn’t blame her for my laziness. I haven’t updated this blog in a long time, mostly because I was at a loss as to what to write about

My main reason for starting this blog is a bit of an off-shoot from the Around the Year Challenge. The 52 topics for the year are chosen by a very well-organized process of nominations and voting by group members. Each year, there are about 180 or so topics that don’t make it onto the final challenge which some people choose to take on as a “Rejects Challenge.” After spending most of this year going back and forth about whether I wanted to take on these two massive lists (one from 2015 and one from 2016), I finally decided to go for it, but with no time limit. I normally post about the books I read for my challenges on Facebook and Goodreads, but I didn’t want to overwhelm my Facebook friends with upwards of 300 books (although my GoodReads friends may be a little more tolerant)!

There’s no time like the present, right? I have been enjoying blogs for the last few years and have always wondered if it was something I should try. So, in the vein of “You will regret the things you never did more than the things you did” or however that quote goes, here I go! Over the last few years I have tried to hone my skills in order to live a simpler lifestyle and by working smarter, not harder.

NOTE: the blog quoted above was apparently abandoned just a few days later. After a somewhat prolonged hiatus, the same author started a new blog which is apparently its sequel. See: https://coffeeandcocktailsatthecasa.com

I have put myself out there enough times to learn that if they wanted to, they would and I don’t need to listen to their reassuring half-truths.

with more time in my life I’m hoping to spend more time with my blog and writing in general. When I first started my blog, I found kindred spirits out there in the blogosphere, made new friends and I’ve even met some of them. What fun! With winter coming on (winter of 20-21 as I write this), along with a raging pandemic, I hope to be more active again and I hope you’ll come along.

Events have been in my wheelhouse for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I was always fascinated at how they came together. Whether it was a sports banquet, graduation party, career fair, marathons, festivals, or holiday get togethers, I was on the sidelines taking in as much as I could to understand all that went into putting that event on. But what a lot of us in the industry learn to know, is that there is a lot of hard work happening behind closed doors. We like to call this the iceberg effect. Its where all the blood, sweat, and sometimes tears are happening beneath the surface, but above the surface you always see beauty and perfection.

This year is something I’m so excited about. My blog is up and running, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for myself for so long but never found the time for, and so many lovely things are happening in our lives. Our twins turn three in March, and that’s something I cannot wait for. They start school soon, so they’re going to grow and change, and we’re going to have more focused time to work so we can focus more on the kids when we’re done. I’m excited, and I hope you are as excited for the New Year as I! I’d love to hear your goals, resolutions, or plans for 2017. Leave a comment below…I hope to be inspired by your goals to create more of my own!
