Moving Forward in 2024

Hey everyone! I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve actually had a chance to sit down and do anything productive. The past month has been super crazy busy around here and I definitely didn’t get as much done as I wanted to but LIFE happens and we are always getting thrown curveballs when we least expect them.

We did get to see some family that we haven’t seen in a while and we had a WONDERFUL time with them but it was over before we knew it and we had to say GOODBYE. We also had a WONDERFUL Christmas and we were able to complete most of the homemade gifts despite the ongoing oven issues. Bonus: I learned that I can bake in my NuWave!

Unfortunately, we did end up in bed for most of last week with the dreaded C word… not fun at all but we are on the mend now and the kids are definitely feeling better as they have been SUPER LOUD the past few days. My poor head is still hurting and so is my body but I know that this too will pass. I also hate to admit it but I was not in the best of attitudes over the past several weeks for many reasons but after reading this post about the OPPOSITE OF THE PROVERBS 31 WOMAN I am committed to making some changes.

I know many people have set goals for the New Year but I haven’t actually written anything down. I’ve been planning away in my little notebooks for some projects around the house, blog post ideas, and other projects related to the animals and gardens. We also walked around the property to get a better idea of the layout of some things that we have in the plans… this walk helped us see that some of those plans need some changes while others will probably be just fine.

I have downloaded the 2024 Homestead Goal Planner from the From Scratch Farmhouse on YouTube but I haven’t actually filled it in yet as we got sick and really couldn’t focus on anything more than staying alive. I’ve also gotten the planner from The Homestead Challenge that I am eager to look through… both of these are FREE! I did order my new calendar as well and I’ll link to it in a future post after I’ve received it.

If you want to work on some new goals for this year you can easily search for goal-planning sheets or check out YouTube. I’ve also got a few posts about things you can do to get started:

I’m going to say Goodbye for now as I’ve got to get to work on a project here and my ‘Blogging timer’ is finished… Yep, I’m trying to be more intentional with my time so I’m going to be utilizing timers a little more to help keep myself in check. This may mean that I have more smaller posts or maybe fewer longer posts… I don’t know yet but we will see. I do know that I have every intention of getting some printable meal plans out again… even if I am getting a little bit of a late start!

Another great place to start for Home Organization is this Declutter Challenge HERE!

Have a great day!
