Happy Holidays! Hope it is okay to say that before December! We enjoyed our post of holiday front doors we were crushing on so much that we wanted to do it for entry ways. We limited ourselves to our top two to show each other and then pick the top five from that assortment. It was hard but fun to discuss as a few similar. Hope you enjoy!
The holidays are approaching and they will be different this year. There will be less visiting and for some people family and friends will not get home. We have little to no control over restrictions. Only to make sure we do our part to keep our community safe.
What we can do is decorate and celebrate at home. Here are a few of holiday doors we are crushing over. It was a fun post to do and hopefully you'll enjoy and make get a few ideas!!
I'm sure we have all seen the ads on Facebook - support local. They were there for you when your softball, school fair or whatever fundraiser you were doing wanted an item to raffle off. Apparently we have no problem asking for free stuff but bulk when local businesses have to charge us more for an item we can order on-line for a soul-less big business.
We appreciate money is tight but maybe people can purchase less stuff - do your kids need ten items from Santa? What about taking the opportunity to create a lesson in giving back as part of a holiday tradition? Local businesses need our help. If we don't support and at least do a small part when things get back to normal they won't be around for you to ask for free stuff. It works both ways.
This is about community. Amazon and other on-line businesses are not part of our community. Have they every given you something for a raffle? Sponsored you? Your child? Yet we are so fast handing them money because it is a deal. You are lining big business pockets. Support community. Support local. Be there for businesses and individuals that were there for you. Be a good person not a materialistic consumer.
Earlier this month we set out goals for the next 30 days. We thought we'd give an update.
Summer clothes have been put away and linen closet cleaned out. Bag ready for goodwill and SPCA. No didn't have enough pumpkin spice latte.
Fall decorating (for the ones who do it) has happened. Halloween treats have been picked up by some and not by others.
No making a wreathe wasn't in the cards. Maybe will move to winter list. Winter tires are not on but appointments have been made - so that counts.
YES a new pursue was purchased - very exciting. Different as round and perfect fall color. Maple or what X consider maple.
We came across this setting our intentions and wanted to share. Resolutions versus Intention. The thought of setting a resolution has always been hard. I usually fail and keep setting the same on year after year. Eat better. Lose weight. Exercise routine. Within three months (if not sooner) I'm done. I might try again off and on during the year but it is usually a done deal my resolution failed.
This intention sounds more doable and maybe even fun! The site says four months is good and even shows us show to set an intention. It doesn't have to be firmly set (and shouldn't be) like a resolution. It is more like something to work on or towards.
I'm going to set an intention to work on for the rest of the year. Two and half months - so doable. Not sure what yet will go through the progress and keep you posted.
Let me know what you think and if you set an intention what it is!
When we are together some of us are more respectful than others and keep their phones in their pursues. Others are on the table. Recently we noticed the number of apps on a phone. It was what! The screen was totally covered as was the next one. How do you find anything? Or get anything done?
There were the standard ones of Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Messenger and email. Side note not all of us have every social media app on our phone. The extra ones were Spotify, weather, meditation, CBC, Voxer, podcast, WhatApp, Skype and Zoom. To start with.
Do you have a favorite app and why?
We found this challenge and enjoyed the prompts. No we haven't followed it exactly and pulled off the thirty days. Yes to a few. Here is one we thought neat. What are our goals for the next 30 days.
