Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a great week. Today I am sharing an in-depth look at one of my goals for the month of February: decluttering. I spoke about this a little bit on Wednesday, but wanted to go into a little more detail today.

January Books
Good morning friends! I am back from a wonderful beach trip with some girlfriends and feeling rested and rejuvenated. Exactly how I was hoping to feel after our weekend away! I wish I had more pictures to share but I was trying my hardest to be present in the moment and not be on my phone.
We were supposed to go to Vero as a group of 5, but 2 of our friends had things come up with their families and were unfortunately unable to come. One of our friends, Lauren, thought it would be funny to make little picture cut-outs of our 2 friends that couldn't come and pose them in various places around Vero and snap pics to send to them. We were cracking up as we took "the girls" with us wherever we went and snapped pics.

In sunny Vero Beach, FL!

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Prosciutto
Time for our next weekly healthy recipe! This time, roasted brussel sprouts. We are really lucky that Lily Grace loves brussel sprouts and will actually ask for them for dinner. Since it is a vegetable we know she won't fight us over eating, we try to make it as often as we can! Here is one of my new favorite ways to make them.

Valentine's Day Card Ideas
Good morning friends and happy hump day! This week has been flying by and I am really looking forward to this weekend because I have a GIRLS TRIP TO FLORIDA!! As I'm typing this, the weather is 25 degrees in Charlotte... so needless to say I am very excited for the warmer weather in my near future!
Today though I want to talk about our annual Valentine's Day cards. Each year Lily Grace makes a homemade Valentine's Day card to send to family and friends (we will do the ones she passes out at school this year too, but those are different). I have been perusing Pinterest and have hit up Michael's to get some good ideas for our cards. Here's a look at some of the ideas I have found on Pinterest so far:

We had a very busy but very wonderful weekend and I wanted to share the highlights with you today.

Roasted Cauliflower
About two years ago my mother in law made us dinner and made the most delicious cauliflower I had ever tasted. I asked what she did to season it and it turns out it is the EASIEST recipe! Healthy and easy is a winning combination. I promise if you give this recipe a try, you will like it as much as I did!

Monthly Goals January
Ladies, I will be honest with you... I am on the struggle bus this week! Anyone else feel a little in over their head right about now? We are hosting family from out of town, I started back at work last week, and we have about a million other things on our plate right now. I'm having one of those weeks where I'm trying to do 100 things simultaneously and I don't feel like I'm doing any of them well because I'm spreading myself too thin. I know we all have these moments and "this too shall pass", but good Lord... I'm ready for life to slow back down! Thanks for sticking with me through the craziness.
Which brings me to my next point...
Nothing like posting my monthly goals halfway through the month, right?? Hah! Oh well. Last week I posted my goals for the year and one way I try to make sure I reach those goals is to set intentions for each month that work towards the bigger goal. For example, if my yearlong goal is to read 40 books, then my monthly goal might be to read 4 books this month. Let's get to it!

Lemon Parmesan Brussel Sprouts
Good morning! This year one of my New Year's Resolutions was to blog one healthy recipe a week. I try to cook healthy meals about 80% of the time around here and often whip up something delicious but never remember to write down what it was. My hope is that through blogging these recipes I will have a little online collection of some of the delicious healthy recipes we've been eating that'll be easy to flip back to when I'm having one of those "what on Earth am I going to make for dinner?!" moments.

Let's Look... My Nightstand
Good morning! I am weirdly very excited about the theme of today's "Let's Look". The nosy, glimpse-into-somebody-else's-life type of posts are always some of my favorites. Not that I'm thinking anyone has anything super exciting on their nightstand, I'm not really sure what I'm expecting here?!
Anyway, here's mine:

What I've Been Priming
Good morning friends! I'm sure most of our Amazon carts last month were filled with all things Christmas, it's just too easy to buy from Amazon! We even bought a new tree from there on an after Christmas sale for 50% off. Let's take a look at what all I bought, shall we?

Top 5 Books of 2019
Good morning friends and happy Friday! Am I the only one who is looking forward to getting back into a routine next week? We have been traveling and hosting friends/family over the past two weeks and while I have loved it, I'm ready for normal life again!
Anyway, here we are in the year 2020 and one of my New Year's Resolutions (which I'll post next week) is to read 40 books. Why 40? Because I read 39 in 2019 and I want to see if I can read more this year 😀. Out of the 39 books I read last year there were some REALLY great ones. I wanted to put together a list of my top 5 books and then a few honorable mentions from various categories. Here we go!
