Well Hello 2016! I’m SO happy you’re here (even if I am in shock at how quickly you came)!
The new year is all about organization, simplifying and of course, setting goals for the year to come. And, just one month in, I’ve been working hard at each of these…
I started the year off sharing my resolution to live life with more intention in 2016. For someone who literally thrives on being busy every minute of the day, this is a pretty lofty goal so, I’ve decided to break it down each month into more manageable steps and plan to check in each month to help keep myself accountable.
In an effort to simplify and declutter our lives, hubs and I worked hard to tidy our entire house last Fall, following the principles of this book. We did however, leave one area that was just too overwhelming at the time. Though luckily, looking to start the year with a clean slate, we were able to find the motivation to take that on this month…
In an effort to stay on top of things, I shared my top 10 tips to getting & staying organized in 2016…
Which is good, because we’ve certainly got a ton planned for the year to come…
I have a feeling 2016 is going to be one heck of a year!
And now, here’s a quick update of where I am currently …

Reading: I’m almost done Hausfrau by Jill Alexander Essbaum and then I think I might switch gears to one of these brilliant books to help me stay organized.
Writing: I’ve been spending hours with my new planner (find a few of my faves here) – getting organized and loving every minute of it!
Watching: I haven’t started it yet, but I’m thinking I need to check out the documentary series on Netflix “Making a Murderer”. I’m hearing about it everywhere!!!
Listening to: My same old running playlist at the gym, time to find some new tunes to get me moving! Any suggestions?
Needing: This brilliant machine would make my mornings so much more enjoyable!
Creating: A dreamy master closet … I cannot wait to share it!
Learning: How to use my new Instant Pot – this thing is INCREDIBLE!!!
Planning: A few zillion projects for 2016!
Loving: My new Hunter boots, complete with cozy linings!
Dreaming about: Our new walk-in closet!!!
Wearing: I’m still living in my leggings, sweaters & boots … all my faves!

Working for me right now: Decluttering my house! Have I mentioned how much I like neat & tidy?!
What’s not: Balancing everything … but, I’m making it my mission this month!!!

I love your efforts on organization and decluttering. I’m a tidy bug, too, and love keeping things neat and everything in its place. Hope you are able to accomplish all your goals and have a wonderful 2016!
Thanks so much Joanne! I love that … “tidy bug” – so much sweeter than “neat freak”. 😉
Kristi, popping over from #2usestuesday to thank you for linking up your wonderful post with us! I hope you have a fantastic week!

Thanks so much Pili! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!!!
loving my new instapot also, redid my walk in pantry with new coat of paint and customized shelves doubled my space
WOW! That sounds awesome Molly! I’m dreaming of a brand new pantry in our kitchen some day too!
You are a much better woman than I am. I am still pilfering thru the Christmas decor trying to sort it all. Thanx for partying!
I swear, if hubs hadn’t been so adamant about cleaning up that basement, I never would have got around to it myself 😉 Thanks Pamela!
Loved stopping by and reading your site! It’s so fun to see what people are currently reading, watching wearing etc. I am currently dreaming about our European Adventure coming up in May!
Thanks so much Shaina! I’ve always dreamed of travelling Europe, what an amazing thing to look forward to!
I love how you break down your monthly goals. Making a Murderer is fascinating! Thanks for sharing with us at The Creative Circle.
Thanks so much Kathy!!! I can’t wait to start watching it!
