However, once Josh and I installed these gorgeous prints from my favorite artist, @kendracastillodesigns, it felt like the calming blue and green tones brought it all together. 

Before recommending a mattress, I wanted to make sure I spent some time using it first to see how we really felt about it. Josh and I have really enjoyed our @avocadomattress! it's rated America's number one natural mattress! With the pillow topper, it's the perfect balance of comfort and firmness. It was extremely easy to set up in our room and we also love the avocado green non-toxic pillow with adjustable fill. We highly recommend! #avocadomattress
Recently, we've been talking to the kids about how Recently, we've been talking to the kids about how doing hard things is a *good* thing. To them, a hard thing might be cleaning the play room, or forgiving each other (ok, not always easy for me either ha). But Josh and I are trying to show them that hard things aren't bad things and it feels great to accomplish something that was hard! 

One hard thing that Josh and I are working on currently is being disciplined with our eating and spending. And for us, these things can often go hand in hand so it's like knocking out two birds with one stone 😆 What's something hard that you're working on?
At the beginning of the year, everyone talks about At the beginning of the year, everyone talks about setting goals. Honestly, setting goals is easy. You can set any goal you want to. You can write it in a journal, keep it to yourself, or even tell your friends.

But how often do we actually set a plan with smaller, short team goals to build upon while reaching our end-of-year goal? At the end of the year, we typically think back on whether or not we met the goal we set at the beginning, and the result just is what it is.

Instead, I want to help you learn how to make a plan to *realistically* reach the goals you set at the beginning of the year.

✍️ Quantify your goals (ie. I want to write X blog posts this year, I want to make $X this year, I want to make 3 new friends this year, I want to be able to lift X lbs this year).

✍️ Now that you've quantified your goals for the year, break that number down by the month (if you want to make $12,000 for your small business by the end of the year, you'll need to make $1000 each month. You can also break this down further into smaller, weekly goals).

✍️ Now, outline the steps you'll take on a weekly basis to reach your monthly goal.

✍️ Also note some hindrances you think you might face and how you plan to navigate them.

✍️ Revisit your goals on a weekly and monthly basis and consistently track if you're meeting your goals, exceeding them, or if you need to change your strategy in order to hit your mark.

✍️ Keep a journal of your wins and woes - it's important to recognize what's working well and mistakes that you can learn from!

These are all things I've learned in my work as a content marketing manager at a growing startup where measuring growth is *extremely* important. 

It may seem intimidating, but I've found that being organized in this way actually helps to clear my head and provide clarity on what I should prioritize and how I can realistically reach lofty goals.

Love you guys and hope this helps!
3 things I did this week to feel *better*: 1. I p 3 things I did this week to feel *better*:

1. I put the scale away. Don't get me wrong, I'm still working out regularly and watching my portions and sugar intake, but I'm not letting myself feel discouraged in the midst of building healthy habits. It's just not helpful and it's not about the number anyway.

2. Josh and I organized and decluttered the house. Is it weird that this really improves my mood while working from home??

3. I responded (ok tried to) to emails/texts faster. I'm the type who, if I don't know the answer or the best way to respond, I'll let it sit for a while and mildly stress me out until it's either too awkward to respond or I respond way late. I'm working on just responding quickly, even if it's imperfect. 

Do you struggle with any of these things??

But I will say, this year I want to do better at always seeing the bright side and the opportunity - of taking responsibility. I have a tendency to play the victim when things don't go my way or if my goals are more difficult than I expected. This year, I want to joyfully and patiently work towards my goals as well as enjoy the moments of rest in between. I also want to give more of myself and my resources: to my family, to our church family, and to those in need.

She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.  She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.  She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.  She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.  She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet."

20 Fun questions that will tell you more about your significant other

This bunch of questions can be used just for fun on a long car ride or if you find yourself with nothing to talk about.

This bunch of questions can be used just for fun on a long car ride or if you find yourself with nothing to talk about. (Also check out Random Questions to ask your Significant other when you’re extremely Bored). But the purpose of these is to learn a little more than you knew before. Take time to think about the answers to these and how they may relate to character and personality. You may learn a thing or two you didn’t know before!

1. If/when you retire, would you rather live in a cozy cabin in the mountains or a sunny beach home?

2. Which sounds like the best dinner:

  • Steak and potatoes
  • Pad Thai
  • Lasagna
  • A fresh and nutritious salad
  • Breakfast

3. Would you rather donate to charity or go and serve those in need yourself?

4. What are you more likely to do to show your significant other love?

  • Clean the whole house
  • Write a love note
  • Buy them a special gift
  • Plan a fun date night
  • Give a great foot massage

5. When traveling, would you rather drive with no stops and get to your destination as soon as possible or would you rather find attractions and explore new things along the way?

6. Would you rather spend the rest of your life living in/near your home town close to friends and family? Or move to a brand new place and start a new adventure?

7. Do you usually find yourself restless when there’s nothing to do or relaxed and content?

8. When going to the beach, are you more likely to shed the clothes and let loose? Or keep your shirt on until you get in the water?

9. Around how much time does it take you to get ready in the morning?

  • About 15 minutes or less
  • About ½ hour
  • About an hour.
  • 2 hours or more.

1o. Would you rather wear boots or flip flops for the rest of your life?

11. When someone is telling you a story, do you usually find yourself asking questions or wishing they would jump to the point?

12. To you, is it worse to be scatterbrained or stuck in your ways?

13. Would you rather spend your entire work day in meetings? Or in a coffee shop researching a new project?

14. Do you usually respond rapidly to text messages or take time to think about you’d like to say, responding a few minutes or even hours later?

15. Do you enjoy making lists?

16. Which annoys you more:

  • Having to spend all day cleaning?
  • Or a messy home?

17. Which sounds more fun?

  • Creating something like a craft, painting, home decor project, etc.
  • Gaming with or without friends?

18. If you could own any type of small business, what would it be?

19. If you had no technology for an entire day (ie. cell phone, computer, tablet, etc.) what would you choose to do with the extra time?

20. When leaving a social gathering, do you feel recharged or exhausted?

Any suggestions? I’d love to hear your own telling questions in the comments below!

Like men, there are a lot of things that we (women) would really like in a husband. Like, it’d be a huge plus if he looked like Chris Hemsworth. But that’s not really what we need in order to have a positive relationship with our spouse. If we married him, we probably think he’s pretty cute, anyway.
