Optimistic Monday

January 7, 2013

Happy Monday Everyone!
Things are starting to get back to normal just a bit around our household.  One child is back in school.  The next starts back tomorrow.  And the third is leaving for a mission trip to London with her college dance team.  Funny place to be going to do mission work, huh?  My other daughter went to Peru for her mission work, so when we heard London for this trip, it sort of surprised us.  I’m sure there are people all over the world who could benefit from these services.  I can’t wait to hear all about her journey.  I hope it’s a great experience for her.

My Goals for last week:
1.  Write my Christmas thank you cards.
I did get a few of these done.
2.  WALK – I don’t even recall the last time I really exercised.
Yes!  Walked 3 times last week.  I even started it out on New Year’s Day!
1/1/13 3.44 miles, 1/3/13 3 miles, 1/4/13 3 miles
3.  Set up doctor’s appointments since it’s a new year and time for checkups.
I tried to do this…  Set it up online and then the back and forth emails led to me not getting an appointment after all since the times were all taken by the time the nurse got back to me.  I guess everyone wants to get in the first of the year.
4.  Take down the Christmas decorations asap.  With our travel schedule we did not take them down before our trip.  My goal is to get it done on New Year’s day.
Yes, all decorations and the tree are put away for next year.  The house looks so bare without all of the bling everywhere.  I miss it!

My Goals for this week:
1.  Bake the Cherry Almond Biscotti recipe that I found on Pinterest.
2.  Walk 4 times this week.
3.  Make the returns to stores that need to be done.
I’m so bad at this!  I get too lazy and usually avoid making returns.  Sad, but true.
4.  Read.
I’ve purchased a few books in the past few months and haven’t really been able to stay focused long enough to get anywhere.  I’m going to try this week.
5.  Mail out a few packages.
6.  Work on my blog.


Did you set any goals for yourself this week? 
Tell me about them below in the comments section.


Have a GREAT week!

    Great goals! I’m mailing out several packages today because one of my goals is to be more intentional with my relationships.

    Hi Stacie,

    My goals for this week are to get back to walking this week as long as Tiara is up to it and I need to get some sponsors for my blog! So not good at getting sponsors!

I’ve been loving the Nakery Beauty Collagen Cushion Pressed Serum — an all-in-one multitasker that makes my routine so simple.💖 #ad

It’s a brand new skincare product and it’s getting all the rave reviews for a good reason!

💎 It has powerhouse ingredients including 15 actives:

• Buah Merah Oil → antioxidant-rich nourishment + protection
• Granactive Retinoid → smooths texture & softens fine lines
• Matrixyl 3000 → peptides that support collagen + firmness
• Feminage → helps skin look more resilient + youthful
• Idealift → targets skin sagging for a lifted appearance
• Plus more hydrating + brightening ingredients for that radiant glow✨

🌟 Why it’s a must-have:

This WATERLESS cushion serum hydrates, firms, smooths, and lifts in one step — no endless layering required. Just press it in and glow.

It’s especially effective for women in the menopausal years who want plumping, firming, hydration, cell turnover and more.

👉 Ready to simplify your skincare routine without sacrificing results?💕

Apparently, a lot because not only am I obsessed with my makeup and skincare, but I’m also obsessed with jewelry and clothes and shoes and books and flowers and travel and my grand babies and my hubby, etc.😅😅
