HAPPY MONDAY!! This is my first Intentions for the Week list of 2019.
I’m wondering if I should keep up this practice in 2019. Is it helpful for you? I know it helps me, but I’m wondering if I should just stick to writing in my bullet journal every week?
This is my current week before I filled it in!
We watched the first episode of Marie Kondo’s new Netflix show and I got the bug to organize over the weekend.
I cleaned out my pantry:
A new year, a new week!
Here’s what this past week looked like – My Everyday Life: Week 1
Adventure in the city with Coop and Casey.
A reader sent me a Rose of Jericho and it’s been cool to see it come to life this week.
THANK YOU.

Currently December 2018
This month was filled with lots of fun/not-so-fun stuff.
This was the first actual Christmas at my parent’s house since my mother died. Last year we were in LA and in total shock and this year, we celebrated together. It was nice and simple. My Mom would have been happy to see us all together, making her recipes in her honor.
I had to ask a lot of questions of myself this month.
December was a tough month for me emotionally. Christmas was one of my Mom’s favorite holidays so it feels so weird to not have her part of it. Christmas music can bring up so many feelings! I totally forgot. I am pretty proud of how much I was able to accomplish in a short period of time while feeling pretty low! It’s important to remember that the holiday season can be rough for other people. It’s a reminder to give yourself grace in the process!
Here’s what this past week looked like: My Everyday Life Week 52
Christmas Eve at my parent’s house. My brother and his wife decorated my Mom’s tree. So pretty!
It was so bittersweet going through our ornaments without my Mom this year.
We started with Manhattans.
My sister Ali made an amazing cheese board.
We had Caesar Salad+ garlic bread followed by linguini + clams with lobster.
Our normal New Year’s meal turned into Christmas Eve dinner.
