I still can’t get over the fact that we are already six days into 2020. I had all these plans on posting over the break, but as they say, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
Matt took two weeks off, so we did a lot of seeing family, being with the kids and “Hulu and Hang-ing”. We’ve started watching Last Man Standing and love it. We find it especially funny when they throw in Home Improvement jokes, or cast members make guest appearances.
At any rate, the blog kind of took a back seat, and I am just now getting back into the swing of things. And to kick off the new year, I supposed we should take a look at how my 2019 goals went (spoiler alert… not that great).
BLOG
- Consistently hit 10K views a month
- Grow my Instagram
- Grow my Facebook
- Try to work on SEO
So…. I got none of these accomplished. I had such grand plans, but then the reality of adding a third child hit, and I felt like I was drowning. And as much as I hated it, the first thing to suffer was the blog. I wrote a little bit about it here, and even though I did write posts since, I still haven’t been as consistent as I wanted to. Even now, I still find myself struggling with creativity and just figuring what I want to do with this space.
PERSONAL
Survive the newborn stage: So I guess I survived the newborn stage. I still feel like I’m struggling to find my way in motherhood though, if that makes any sense at all.work on being less angryÂ: it’s a slow process, but I am working on it. Some days are better than others.- figure out strategies to be calmer: while I know all sorts of strategies, I need to work better at actually using them.
So I’m not going to lie, I have sort of been dragging my feet on this post. Mainly because I am having a really hard time figuring out what I want to do with the year 2020.
I am so lucky to be surrounded by amazing women (and men) who are accomplishing such wonderful things in their lives (and I know they are putting so much work, heart, and sole into it). Starting businesses hosting workshops, just being a boss and rocking at it.
Being around such kick ass women has made me take a look at where I am in my life currently. And all I know is that I don’t really feel fulfilled (which I think will be a post for another day). I mean I love my husband, children and family. I am taken care of, and have many blessings. But, at the end of day, I just sort of feel meh.
So, this is all a long way of saying, I don’t really have any idea what my goals are for 2020, besides getting out of this funk. Thanks to another Detroit Mom Contributor I was introduced to the Passion Planner when I am going to dive more into, and after I do I may come back and share some more concrete goals for the new year.
What about you? Do you do goals/resolutions?
