Winter Activity Ideas for kids – Part 1
Last year I shared a weekly post with winter activity ideas (I shared a lot of our personal favorites) and descriptions of each activity. This year I’m sharing those weekly graphics under one post. Winter can get boring around here especially if you’ve been trapped in the house due to snow storms and super cold weather! Sharing part one today. You can get the detailed post by searching “what to do with kids” then clicking on the appropriate week.

Yay for the weekend! Had all three kiddos with my yesterday because Audrey said her tummy hurt – turns out she was just fine but I actually ended up enjoying the quality time! It was just like the “old times”. She’s back at school today so off to get some things knocked off my to-do list.

Tip Jar: No Spend January Challenge
It’s that time of year again! A time when we sit down and thoroughly review our budget and set financial goals for the year. I will share more on goals and something new I just started for budget tracking, possibly later this week or next (because it requires it’s own post). In the meantime, I wanted to share a challenge with you, one you can join too – NO SPEND JANUARY!
You heard that right – N O S P E N D J A N U A R Y. This will be hard, it will be so annoying, but honestly it’s the reset we need. We didn’t entirely accomplish our goals from last year. Some modifications were made, unexpected items popped up (as they always do) and we focused hard on investing – which has been amazing and sometimes I forget that’s where our savings is!

Happy New Year’s Eve or New Year’s depending on when you read this! WOW, did 2021 not fly by or what?! Looking back on this year, there were so many things that truly came to light bettering our family. As this year comes to a close, I look forward to the excitement of a “FRESH” start in the new year. I’ve seen this trend “22 for ’22” and thought I would jump on board. What are 22 goals, intentions, plans and/or “to-do’s” you have for the upcoming new year?!
Today I’m sharing my 22 in ’22 list. I had a great time doodling over the past week while the kiddos were using their new art supplies from Christmas and I thought – what the heck, let’s have fun and make this list come to life!
