Starting The New Year Off Right

I think we can all agree on one thing- 2020 was quite the year. This year has been filled with ups, downs, twists and turns for pretty much the entire world. Unfortunately, I think there were more downs than anything. While that can be a tough thing to shake off, I want to do my best to enter 2021 with a heart filled with gratitude and optimism. There is always something to look forward to with new beginnings, especially a brand new year. Instead of dwelling on the things that were negative from 2020, try to take some time out to think of what you can do to make 2021 better. I know there will still be challenges to face but that is going to be true for every year. Life can be messy and is never perfect. However, I am still choosing to see the good things that 2020 brought me (my sweet baby boy is definitely at the top of my list) and try to make sure 2021 brings myself and my family even more joy. I have listed some ways I am going to start the new year off on a positive note. I hope you will join me in letting go of the things that brought you down this past year and move forward towards more love, light and happiness in 2021.

1. Use a Daily Gratitude Journal

A gratitude journal is a great way to remind yourself of all of the things that you are thankful for in your life. I know life can get stressful and throw curve balls constantly. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed and forget all of the positive things that happen in your life on a daily basis. I like to write a few things down each day that happened to me recently that I am thankful for. This is such a helpful tool to use when I need a reminder of how blessed I am in this life.

2. Clean Out Old Clutter

Start your new year clutter free. If you have some extra time during your holiday break, clean out your pantry, drawers, cabinets and closets. You can plan a garage sale, give away stuff to family or friends, or donate old items. I always feel so much more organized and relieved when I get rid of clutter in my house that is taking up space.

3. Make Plans To Look Forward To

Plan something fun for yourself or family during 2021. It is always so much fun to have something fun planned that you are truly looking forward to doing. If you haven’t been on a vacation for awhile, try to plan one (even if it is a staycation)! You can also look up to see if any fun events are coming to your town within the new six months and try to secure tickets to it.

4. Pick One Thing For Yourself

I know how easy it is to get caught up in every day life responsibilities. I am always working hard to be the best wife, mom, daughter, friend, and business owner that I can be. There are definitely days that I wish I could duplicate myself or grow an extra set of hands! No matters how busy you are, try to give yourself time every single day that is dedicated to yourself. Take a twenty minute bath when your hubby gets home and can help with the kids. Take five minutes to scroll on your phone at something that makes you laugh or gives you peace. Call a friend and catch up for ten minutes. Whatever makes your heart happy and eases tension, make time for it every day. You will always be able to take better care of everyone you love, if you are taking care of yourself, too!

5. Make Health a Priority

If you found yourself stress eating during 2020 or being more relaxed about working out, don’t guilt yourself over it. Instead, make the new year a perfect time to refocus your energy on putting your health as a top priority. Try taking time to meal prep during the week, look up a fun short youtube video for a workout, or grab a friend and go on a walk. You do not have to devote a ton of time during the day to get yourself in a healthier routine.

6. Connect With a Loved One

If you found yourself busy last year and unable to stay connected with someone who brings you joy, try to make time for them during the new year. No matter how much we have going on every day, it is so important to stay connected with the people you love. Try taking ten minutes out during the week to send a quick text, email or call to someone who is on your mind. It will keep you connected in the new year and bring you some time to relax and smile.

Stocking Stuffers Under $10 For The Kids

With Christmas less then three weeks away, I have been busy shopping (mostly online when the kids are sleeping) and getting ready for the holiday. One thing I seem to forget to search for or have trouble finding is small stocking stuffers for every age that won’t break the bank! This year has definitely put a strain on finances for some and I have chatted with a lot of people that are trying to have a fun, but budget friendly Christmas. I have been doing some searching for fun stocking stuffers for kids and tweens, and have come up with some cute ideas. Best yet, everything I have listed is under $10! Check out all of the fun things I have listed below- hopefully some of them will work for the kiddo in your life! Happy shopping and happy holidays!

Reindeer Farts

I struggle to think of a boy I know that wouldn’t find this absolutely hilarious! This three ounce bag of cotton candy comes in a peppermint flavor and is sure to make anyone reading it laugh!

Fun Pack Card Game

This pack of cards is perfect to play on game night with the family and can easily be packed for road trips. It comes with six different games included in the package and is good for ages three and up. Since there are six different games, it is sure to have something fun for anyone playing.

Chapstick Holiday Collection

Chapstick has come out with a holiday collection and has included a ton of yummy scents. This set is sold in a three pack and has candy cane, pumpkin pie, and sugar cookie as the flavors. It is also only $1 per lip balm- you can’t beat that price!

2 Pack Unicorn Socks

Unicorns are still very popular amongst young girls, so this two pack of socks would be perfect for them! They are made of a fuzzy and spandex material that will provide comfort and warmth all day long. Since it comes in a pack of two, it could be split into two gifts!

5 Pack Silly Putty

Crayola is selling a five pack of silly putty that comes in individual eggs and assorted colors. It is a perfect gift to split up if you have multiple stockings to stuff or to give to one lucky kid. Putty can be a fun way to keep the kids occupied when on a long car ride or waiting at an appointment. The egg makes it easy to store it when done playing and throw it in your purse or car until next time!

Disney Princess Surprise

These surprise boxes are so much fun to give! Each box will contain 1 out of 12 Disney doll options that is enclosed in a storybook case. I love that your kid will get to be surprised when opening it. The dolls are only two inches tall which makes them perfect to take along wherever you go. It would also be a fun thing for your Disney loving kid to collect one at a time!

Joke Book

If you are up for it, this joke books looks like it could be a lot of fun. Instead of reading the jokes quietly and then telling them to friends, the book is meant to be played as a game. The players of the game take turns telling jokes back and forth and the object of the game is to not be the first person to laugh! With all of the craziness that came at us this year, it sounds like this would be a perfect way to sit around and laugh together and have some fun!

Bath Bombs

If you have a kiddo that loves to take baths, these bath bombs would be perfect for them. The bath bombs are decorated to look like they have sprinkles on them, have yummy scents and come in a set of nine!

Holly Jolly Puzzle

I love these micro jigsaw puzzles from Walmart! The toy comes with 150 pieces that follow a template. They are perfect for working on fine motor skills and double as an ornament once completed!

Crayola Silly Scents Markers

Crayola has come out with this 20 count pack of markers that kids are sure to love! Some of the smells are sweet like watermelon, while others are stinky like an old shoe! I can see my kids finding this hilarious while spending time coloring!
