22 for ’22
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!

What I Do Wednesday – Laundry Essentials
It’s What I’m doing Wednesday and today I’m sharing my laundry essentials. I feel very passionate about certain laundry items and figured I would share these things with you!
First off, let’s talk laundry routine. There is literally ALWAYS at least one load running through the washer everyday. I throw all the kids clothing together and use the same detergent (will share it below!) and then separate undies, socks and towels and throw those together in a load. Obviously adult clothes separate from that.

World Sight Day 2021: Love Your Eyes
Each year, World Sight Day is recognized on the second Thursday of October and the purpose is to raise awareness about blindness, vision impairments and a reminder of the importance of eye exams and screenings.
Today, I see it necessary to spread this awareness and encourage you to take eye health very seriously – in particular being that advocate for our children. This is something they need us for!

If you’ve been following along, our daughter was diagnosed with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia – along with esotropia, hyperopia (farsightedness) and strabismus – at the age of 5 months. She is now 5 years old and has had 2 eye alignment surgeries. I shared our diagnosis story last year and since publishing, have heard from many people sharing similar stories.
