Happy 2016, everyone! I celebrated New Year’s Eve day by getting a root canal (I KNOW, BOY DO I KNOW HOW TO PARTY LOL) and being uncomfortable most of the day after that, BUT. Then I took some Tylenol and we partied at home, just us three- our last New Year’s as three!- and it was really fun. We ate some Chipotle and just relaxed. Just what the doctor ordered. Sam totally missed the ball drop, and we barely made it, because #pregnant. ;) But! We rang in the new year with some bubbly (NA for me, duh) and shared our resolutions with each other, and just enjoyed the peace. It was pretty darn lovely.
And in all seriousness, I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for following along our crazy journey and reading this blog! We have some big and exciting things in store for 2016, and I CAN.NOT.WAIT. to get started! I have a feeling this will be the best year yet. :) And thank you for reading and coming along with us. It’s going to be so fun!
And in the spirit of the season, I came up with a few resolutions, because that’s what one does this time of year, right? Right.
- Have a baby! ;)
- Eat clean(er)
- Get better at meal planning
- Focus on time management with work
- Drink lots of water
- Get back into working out consistently (once I’m cleared by my doctor, of course)
- Run another 5k
- Spend time with God every day
- Be intentional with my time with my loved ones
What are some of your resolutions?

Happy New Year to you and your sweet family! We just welcomed our second a little over 4 weeks ago, and it’s been a joy. My biggest resolution for 2016? Make fitness a priority and strengthen my mind and body. Prayers and blessings to you during these last weeks of your pregnancy!

Ouch! Hope you’re recovering ok from your root canal! Sounds like you have a good list of resolutions! My main goal this year is to make more money so we can buy a house. I would also like to finally reach my goal weight and maybe even run a full marathon. Eeek!
Katie
Haha yeah, the root canal was NOT what I was hoping for, but ehhh I’m strong. ;) Nothing I couldn’t handle. That is SUCH a good goal for the year- we’re looking to save up for a house as well! Best of luck, girl! You can do it!!

I LOve, love, love your blog! Glad I found you on facebook, too. I’m just starting out blogging and posted my resolutions…My biggest is taking care of my body, as in flossing, eating well, good skin care, exercise, etc. I feel like those can get neglected sometimes as busy moms. ;-)
Katie
That is SUCH a good resolution, always! Taking care of your body is so important, and you’re right: definitely easy to neglect!

Spend time with God every day is something I really need to do. It’s just super hard to make it a priority, hard for me to make it a habit. Good look with all of these! Hope that little babe comes soon!
