November Goals

Aww Happy Monday!!! The first one of November! We had the best weekend over here... It was our first one home just the three of us in quite some time so we just soaked it in...a rainy Saturday and cozy Sunday meant soup on the stove, a fire in the living room, You’ve Got Mail on Friday night and a little football to end the weekend. We loved every minute. 

I thought I’d start the week off with a little November Goals update for you guys. It’s been fun resetting at the start of each month with a few goals to try to accomplish, and I’ve loved hearing the ones you all have shared as well. 

First, let’s take a look back on October…

1. Soak up as much family time and fall fun as I can...

I'd say this was a good one to have at the top of the list in October... From hosting so many family members, to fun weekends at our pumpkin patch and picking up farm food, and ending with a vacation at the beach, we really did soak in all the goodness that October had to offer, and I loved it. 

2. Catch up on all things home...

This one felt good... And with the exception of Jane's closet currently (we call it on "red-alert" hahaha) our home is pretty much put back together, and I think it has made everything feel a little "lighter..." Especially as we enter the craziness of the holidays - I am very grateful. 

3. Finish my DIY projects.

Yes! This one was a fun one. I did a little post on the Hobby Horses here, and touched a little on my fan DIY project here. The concrete pumpkins I was working on didn't fully make my vision next year, but one did make our porch, and I think I've learned enough to try again next year and make them way better. I'll make a note to add it to the fall list next year. 

And for November, I tried to keep them small and manageable. 

1. Run 20 miles. 

I've been running a little bit more the past few weeks, and it's felt so nice as the weather has started to get a little cooler. I know this doesn't seem like that monumental of a goal mileage wise, but I thought it would keep me going to try to hit my miles throughout the month. 

2. Read/Journal every morning before Jane wakes up. 

This is a sweet one that Pierce and I have been in the habit of the past few weeks, and it has continued to make all the difference. Life is obviously so fluid with a six month old, but reading in the morning before we start our day or while Jane's taking it easy the first few moments if she's up early is so good for the rest of our days...

3. Keep up our laundry system. 

I've tried out a new laundry system the past few weeks, and even with the busiest of schedules, it seems to be serving our family really well. So my goal is to keep it going as we enter the holidays and traveling so I can feel like it's manageable throughout the month...I'll have to do a post on it soon...it's honestly rather simple, but has made a big difference... 

And that's really it...I just chose three practical things that seem small, but I think would help me as we enter the holidays. As always, spending as much time soaking in the day-to-day moments and LOVING this season are always at the top of my list. 🥰

...basically, this is also my life on repeat this month. Hahaha 

What are you guys up to this month?! I’d love to hear your goals and work on them together as the season gets a little crazy and we try to slow down just a bit and soak up the small and day-to-day moments. Thanks for following along!! 

I’ll see you back here in the morning!! 

Happy November!!
