50+ Word of the Year Ideas

Happy New Year!

I hope you are starting the new year rejuvenated from the holidays!  I am so glad you are here and joining me on this corner of the internet.  Welcome!

I love the start of a New Year.  It's a fresh start, clean slate and a chance to take a look at the year ahead.  

In the last post, I talked about how I don't make New Years Resolutions.  Instead, I decide on a WORD.  I think of what I want the year to look like. How I want to shape decisions and what I want to accomplish.  

This year I chose.......




I want to be more consistent in many aspects of my life.  I am printing this image and putting it on my desk at work and next to my bed.  

Have you thought of a word?  

If you want to do a word of the year instead of a resolution, I compiled over 50+ words and definitions for you!  Take a look below to help you think of what you want this year to look like/focus on.  You can always pick one for your homelife and one for work.

What's Up Wednesday - 11/29/2023

In my quest to blog more frequently, I am linking up with Shay and Sheaffer on the last Wednesday of the month.  Make sure you check out their blogs as well. I have been reading both of them for years and they are 2 of my favorites.  I love reading blogs and to me it's an escape from reality.  It's like talking to a girlfriend and taking a sneak peek into their lives, closet and home.   I have always wanted to blog.  I typically wrote a post every 6 months so right now I am pretty horrible, and no one reads.  But, in 2024 my goal is consistency.  Stay tuned, maybe someday you will be saying my blog is your favorite.  That would be music to my ears! Here is what we have been up to lately. 1.  Thanksgiving  I sat on the couch at my brother and sister in laws after a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  It came to me, if you host or cook Thanksgiving, you are truly an angel.  You welcome people into your homes, cook, entertain and ...

January Book Review

Welcome back to our monthly book review. This is the post where I share the books I read last month, rate them and share the jacket summary.  I hope you are able to find a few new books to add to your reading list! However.... This month was a struggle for me.  On average I read about 4-5 books a month.  If I don't like a book, or can't get into it, I stop reading.  Life is too short to read a book that doesn't hold my interest.  That happened more this month than ANY month, in the last 3 years where I have been tracking what I read.  I must have started and stopped 4 books. I just couldn't not get past the first couple chapters.  It was a struggle for sure.   This month, I read a series on Kindle Unlimited that I will only count as 1 book.   I'll explain more below.   The Christmas Retreat By Grace Meyers   My rating: 4/5 My comments:  This was a 6 book series.  The books were about 70 pages long....

Let's Look - WHAT'S IN OUR GROCERY CART

HI!  If you are popping over for the link party , welcome!  I am a corporate Mom of 2 kiddos. This space of internet is where I share tips and tricks on how I work on balancing both aspects of my life, while still making time for fun!  Feel free to bookmark so you can check back every Monday and Wednesday. This month our "Let's Look" is grocery carts.  I almost skipped this month because I HATE grocery shopping.  This is a role my husband has thankfully taken on and he enjoys it.  I go so infrequently that I never know where anything is in the store.  I am the person people hate because I have to stop and read the signs above the aisle to see where I am going.  It is usually more expensive if I do have to go.  Since I don't go often, when I do, I notice new flavors, new products, etc!  I always come home with more than I had on my list.  So, it's a vicious cycle!   I didn't skip this post because I wanted to share somethin...
