New Year's Weekend and Plans

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. This weekend I mostly relaxed and did some cleaning. I chatted with family on Sunday to catch up in the new year.  It is nice to stay at home at the start of New Years after a busy holiday season and doing some things to get organized and working out makes me feel more prepared to start the year of right. Today I went for an appointment and visited with family and will be planning for the week later on in my planner.

I did just a bit more of the puzzle I received from my sister for Christmas last night. I finished the edge pieces and now moving on to filling in the middle. I love this puzzle she got me from Indigo. 

I am still knitting the classic christmas stocking by Betty Lai on Ravelry. I finished knitting the leg of the stocking, and will move on to the foot this week. I hope to be done on Wednesday this week and will share my next project ideas.

I finished reading The Santa Suit by Mary Kay Andrews yesterday. This book was so enjoyable to read and I loved the small town setting and the people were all so sweet and caring towards one another. This book was so comforting and perfect to read around the holidays. I will be continuing on reading The Bookshop of Yesterdays by Amy Meyerson and also reading Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom is Wrong - and What You Really Need to Know by Emily Oster. My sister lent this one to me because I will be trying for a baby soon. I have been writing in my one line a Day journal. It is interesting now to also look back at last year's journals each day.

I forgot to share the ornament I ordered for Millie from the Etsy shop threepeakscompany this Christmas. The example ornament they had in the photo actually had Millie's name, so I could see how it looked with her name right away. It arrived looking as expected and I love it. Here is the ornament below with Millie checking out what I am doing taking photos on the plant stand. I was so happy to also receive a couple of other ornaments for Millie from my friend and my parents. It will be so nice to hang them all up next Christmas.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I love the weekend of New Year's to reset and think of the upcoming year. This week I plan to do yoga everyday for at least 30 minutes, drink more water, and tidy each day. I am feeling more on track with my goals lately and feel like I want to continue on with this feeling of motivation. I hope that you are also having a great start to the New Year! the next blog post will be on Wednesday, hope you will join me again!

Have a great day!
