Happy Monday to you! Do you have the day off in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr? The kids are off of school and the hubby is home for the day here.
You’re probably tired of hearing about the baby goats by now, but it was a really exciting week for us here last week! In case you aren’t tired of it, be sure to “like” my Facebook page since I’ll likely do most of my goat baby pictures and videos over there. (But don’t be too surprised if the cuties make an occasional appearance here on the blog. 🙂 )

I was so happy to get my yearly goals set last week. It’s nice to have a vision of what I want to do with my year. It helps me to make an effort to do the things I want to do in life before it’s too late. It’s so easy to get into a rut and do the same things day in and day out.
Each week, I like to set goals that are really just baby steps to keep me on track and marching towards those SMART yearly goals.

There are two times of the year that I feel especially compelled to examine what I am accomplishing with my life. One is the start of a new school year. The other is New Year’s Day.
I’m a little boring and predictable like that. But that’s ok.
During the first week of each new year, I sit down with paper, pencil, and the hubby. We discuss what we’d like to accomplish with our new year. Some years we feel excited to achieve big things. Some years we feel tired and just try to finish nagging tasks.
I am excited that 2016 is going to be a “big thing” year! Some people call goals like this a BHAG. Big, hairy, audacious goals. You can only accomplish a BHAG if you are in the right frame of mind. It’s not something you can go into half heartedly. So I’m happy to find that both myself and my hubby are in that frame of mind. 2016 is going to be an awesome year! (Because we have determined to make the best of it regardless of circumstances.)

It’s a fresh new year! I just love a new start. I embrace New Year’s Resolutions completely. (I’ll be posting mine soon. Maybe a little late, but better late than never…right?) The fresh start of a new week with new goals is fun, but a whole new year feels just wonderful to me.
Not everyone agrees with me. Some of you probably think the new year is bunk and just another day. That’s fine, too! Whatever way you find the motivation to do the things you really want to do with your life, find that motivation and hang on to it.

Welcome to another Monday morning. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We had several gatherings to attend, and still have one more to go. Our family has two birthdays to celebrate at the same time as Christmas and New Year’s, so it makes for a lot of chaos this time of year. It’s tough to get much else done, but the extra family time is worth it.
I’ve spent the past couple of days cleaning and trying to organize the new mess, and I’m still not finished! How is the organizing going at your house?

We’ve reached the week of Christmas! And I wish a blessed one to each of you.
I tried to keep things simple through our last busy week. This week I hope to keep them even more simple! Isn’t that the dream?

I'm Jamie, and I want to help you afford a beautiful life with your family.
