New Year. New Goals.

Well it has been a while since I've written a post. A friend just started a new blog which led me to get back to my own. 2016 has already seen so many life changes.

We moved into a new house on December 31st and welcomed in 2016 together as a family in our just moved chaos. These next few weeks will be about unpacking, organizing, and getting settled back into a normal routine.

Since we are in a new house, we will need to come up with creative organizing ideas, especially since we will be adding a new baby in May. As I come up with organizing solutions, I plan to write a post and show pictures of what we have done. So look forward to those posts.

Later this week we will find out and reveal the gender of Baby Manteuffel #2. We are so excited to find out and telling our family and friends. We have a great plan for that as well so look out for that post and corresponding video.

My friend and I have a plan to start some preschool lessons with our little ones ages 3, 2, and 2. I will show some of those lessons and activities we do throughout the year as we enter the world of homeschooling. (Well we've always been homeschooling just through raising our littles, but you know what I mean.)

Last March I started a business with Usborne Books and More. I have big goals for my business this year and I will be sharing some of those experiences as well. I will also write about how you can use Usborne Books for homeschooling or supplementing your child's schooling at public or private school.

Lastly, I am bound and determined to get into a healthy lifestyle through what I eat and after the baby arrives working out. I will post favorite healthy recipes and ideas for those who are also wanting to have healthier eating habits.

I am looking forward to this journey of writing regularly and enjoying the experience of connecting with others through this process.

Leave a comment below with your goals for 2016.
