New Year’s Resolutions & Realistic Expectations

Happy 2013!
I woke up yesterday feeling invigorated!
What is not to love about new beginnings,
fresh starts
&
New Year’s Resolutions!
So many plans,
so much to do,
so many ideas swirling in my head.
Then….that little voice inside my head said
“SLOW DOWN.”
We ALL start out the year racing, striving to do better,
be better and sometimes that can lead to disappointment.
Not that I would know anything about that:).
  
My goal this year is to strive for better balance.
And I am doing so with realistic expectations,
or so I hope…
Here we go
1. Make more time for me:).

 2. Make more time for hubby & I.

3. Savor those perfect moments.

4.More adventure, less stress.
 
5. One project at a time!
6. Enjoy the last few months of my thirties.

7. Remove that last bit of baby weight, for REAL.
8. Less seltzer, more H20.

9. Organize!
10. Eat Lunch, stop snacking:).
 

How about you?
Do you have any good resolutions?
 
I wish you ALL the best for 2013!
-Jen

Riding the Ebb + Flow of Instagram and the New Algorithm

I am going to honest, although I absolutely LOVE Instagram, it has gotten me a little discouraged lately. The ebb and flow of this richly loved platform can make one crazy. I can break it down, maybe you can relate. First off, sometimes I wonder if anyone is seeing my posts or if anyone cares. Secondly, it seems the posts that get the most engagement and connection are the personal posts which I am a private person. Lastly, I am not sure I can compete with what everyone else is sharing. This is what I have been telling myself for a few months now. Well….last week while running I was listening to THIS podcast and decided to do something about it. At the end of the day, it’s not about the numbers but connecting with all of you.

  3. My word for 2013 is Focus.. Focus on me, my famiy, faith, friends! Just plain focus. Your beautiful in your photos! Happy New Year!

  4. Fun family pictures and I can’t think of better new year resolutions than what you’ve listed.

    The best to you in 2013!

  8. I try to focus on one word each year. It takes the stress and failure option down! Last year it was balance, this year it is “best”. I want to be the best version of me….getting back to who I am after five years in the wrong profession. Good luck to you and your resolutions!

  9. Hi Jen,
    I love your resolutions! Enjoy that beautiful family every chance you get!
    And as for enjoying the last bit of your thirties… Don’t sweat it! The 40’s are fab!
    Cheers,
    Cynthia
