The weather outside is //

As I look outside my window // It’s starting to get chilly out there, especially with the wind!  We still have a few homestead projects to finish, but it’s getting harder to get excited about them.  We’re just going to have to pile on the layers and get ‘er done.  I was just telling my husband that once we get to January, I’m going to collapse by the fire and not move for an entire month!  I am so proud of all we’ve accomplished in 2021, but whew!  It’s hard work.

As I look around the house // My 30 day super mega declutter/reselling challenge is officially over, but I’ve still got my eyes peeled for more things to go.

So excited about // the new 2022 planner I just purchased!  I have loved using The Saintmaker the past few months, but I’ve ultimately decided that the daily pages are really unnecessary at this point in my life.  I was looking for new options when I found The Home Planner from Passionate Penny Pincher and it is perfect!  I love all of the checklists, there’s enough space in the daily boxes and it even has a section for budgeting.  I can’t wait to start using it in January!  (P.S. I have a referral link so you can get $5 off your purchase if you’re in the market for a planner too!)

On this week’s to-do list //

– order chocolate coins for the Feast of Saint Nicholas – bake a blueberry pie – deep clean the kitchen, top to bottom!

– start reflecting on 2021 and brainstorm new goals for 2022
