Embracing a Slower Pace: Simple Habits for a PEACEful Year

Published on January 1, 2026January 4, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well. We are coming out of a cold spell here, and happy to see some warmer temperatures. We have not set any New Year’s resolutions as we want to develop some lasting habits and routines that help draw our family closer. We will continue to work on routines that we have established, while adding new ones slowly.

I have a lot of plans for our family, home, and blog this year, and I pray that GOD will lead me in a way that I can inspire others and help them to create some simple habits that lead to a peaceful year. We will be focusing more on intentional living, making rest more of a priority, and creating a more peaceful rhythm for our family.

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted any garden updates on the blog… most of them have been going on our YouTube channel so I thought I’d show you what we’ve been up to:

We’re still in the middle of celebrating Sukkot so there hasn’t been a lot of gardening happening. I have a pile of plants to get in the ground and even more seeds to scatter around.

We have several beds to build and areas to clean up… then we plan to make another hoop tunnel to grow on for next year.

We’ve also got plans to build a new chicken coop and convert to old on for quail. We would also like to add some rabbits soon… hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop, and stop… that’s one of Shyanne’s favorite songs.

So many things to get finished but there is only so much time in a day. We just ask God to show us what needs done and ask for the strength and patience to see it through. He provides what we need, when we need it so we consider ourselves extremely blessed.

He will do the same for you, just trust in Him and hand your life over. It’s an amazing experience!

God Bless!

Where to start?

Well, it’s been crazy busy. We’ve had a LOT going on but we are surviving one day at a time with God’s grace. He is so GOOD to provide us what we need when we need it even if we haven’t asked. HE truly knows our needs before we do.
