Every year I make New Years Resolutions and by the end of January I have usually given up on most of them. There are a few that I have held onto over the years though so there’s hope that I’ll stick to some of this years resolutions!
Usually when I make a list of things I would like to do differently they are pretty generalized; lose weight, eat better, be more active, spend more time with Maddie doing something other than watching TV, etc. This year I have decided to take a different approach.
I am setting specific goals for myself for each month. Each month will compound so by the end of the year I will have altered 12 areas of my life. At the beginning of each month I will post my intentions for the rest of the month and check in with how the previous month(s) have been going for me.
For the month of January I am going to focus on this blog and build my following. I have neglected this blog and only posted when I had some spare time, but then it occurred to me that I should schedule it in like a job. I should make time in my week to work on this. This blog, and you readers, are something I am passionate about and something I enjoy. Why don’t I do it more often? So my commitment to you is that I will post a minimum of one post per week. There will be weeks, like this one, when I post more than once, but that will be my minimum. I am certain some will be short, some will be just a personal rant, but some will be long and detailed and useful. If there is ever something you would like me to write about, a project you would like me to tackle, please don’t hesitate to let me know! I am happy to have suggestions.
When I started this blog is was going to be a DIY based blog but there have been very few of those so far, so this is now a lifestyle blog. I had never considered myself to be much of a cook, I mean, I always managed to whip up some supper that fit all of the food groups. It always tasted pretty good, but recently I have switched to a Paleo lifestyle and have started experimenting more in the kitchen and am really enjoying it. I have been posting on my instagram (@stilettosandsawdust) and on my Facebook page pictures of our meals and have been getting lots of comments and questions for recipes. So that is one thing I am also going to try for the month of January. I am going to try posting some of the meals that we have, and along with that, will post printable recipes for those wanting to try them.
As mentioned above, some posts will be shorter than others, this is a short one. But it needed to be put out there into the world to keep me accountable!
Now I had better go and check on our supper! XOXO
