Admittedly, we had been overscheduled. Running around from one activity to another. Plans too many nights. Too many commitments and not enough downtime.
Thus, rather than the typical new year's resolutions (you know, exercise more, eat healthier, lose 10 lbs), I made just one. And a simple one at that.
To simplify.
Everything. Our house, our calendar, our goals.
And hopefully, in doing so, we'd have more time for what was important. Us. Our little family. And making memories to last a lifetime. Even if sometimes we were doing absolutely nothing.
So having said that, my iPhone camera isn't nearly as full as it may have been in the past, but that's okay. It's been a great few weeks and I can only hope that the rest of the year is as good if not better. But for all those curious, here are just a few of the things we've done to fill the minutes of 2017.
Catching "snowflakes". yes it snowed in Dallas this year. For all of 12 hours. But given how infrequently we see snow here, judging by the girls' excitement you would have thought it was Christmas morning again
This bar. Easily the best Christmas present of the year. If they aren't practicing gymnastics (a whole 'nother post) they are sleeping under it. #eatbreathesleepgymnastics
Playing with sweet friends. 'Nuff said. Quality time with quality people is definitely part of our simplicity goals for the year.
Mommy-time and Parent-day out. Sporting events (including a Dallas playoff game), adult beverages and no kids...let's just consider that therapy.
Being silly, goofy and enjoying doing a whole lot of nothing. This picture pretty much sums up our year so far. (Including the Dallas weather -- it was 86 degree's last Sunday!)
