This Is The Year

2015 This Is The Year

Happy New Year!! I am so excited that is 2015 and the canvas is blank for the year. Last year I was inspired by the atelier to create a “this is your year” post. I am still so in love with all of the quotes from 2014, but these were a few of my favorites .

 

To Dream – “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream” – C.S. Lewis

 

To Be Confident – ” Confidence is silent, insecurities are loud.”

 

To Celebrate – ” I eat cake because its’ somebody’s birthday somewhere”

 

To Be Peaceful – ” God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from himself because it is not there. There is no such thing.” – C.S. Lewis

 

To Be You – “She’s a mess of gorgeous chaos, and you can see it in her eyes…”

 
This year, I picked only 4 simple quotes:
 

To Be Adventurous (Brave) – “…and so the adventure begins.”

 

To Be Better – “We are not perfect human beings, nor do we have to pretend to be, but it is necessary for us to be the best version of ourselves we can be.”

 

To Be Happy – “Its okay to be happy with a simple life”

 

To Be Kind – “Throw kindness around like confetti”

  • Have you ever been curious about homeschooling, but felt overwhelmed by the thought of doing it all yourself?

I recently learned about Texas Virtual Schools, a tuition-free public virtual school in Texas that provides Texas-certified teachers, accredited curriculum, personalized learning plans, and individualized support for students.

For families looking for flexibility without having to create and manage every aspect of their child’s education on their own, this is an option worth exploring.

  • #ad Summer hosting is one of my favorite parts of the season, but let’s be honest... no one talks about the cleanup. 😅

After every get together, I rely on a few simple reset routines to get my home back in order. I’ve been using the limited edition @lysol designs celebrating America’s 250th birthday from @Walmart to tackle hard surfaces and refresh linens after hosting that make post-party cleanup feel a whole lot more manageable.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, family dinner, or casual summer gathering, remember: the more the messier! Celebrate big, then clean smart. Clean Up America’s Biggest Birthday with Lysol®. 🇺🇸✨

Shop @lysol at Walmart for your summer hosting cleanup routine!
