Well, I blinked and it’s now January 31. How did that happen?!

We’ve had a busy month for sure, and since I still haven’t gotten back on track with weekly blogs, I’m going to do a monthly recap each month!

Mimimalizing: I watched the Netflix documentary on Minimalism and boy was it an eye-opener. We live in a really small space (more on that below), and I feel like our condo is just overrun with toys and things we don’t really need. I started small, and have been working my way through closets and cabinets. We’ve already gotten rid of SO many things!!! It makes shopping easier too, I don’t buy random things anymore unless I really love it and it serves a valid purpose. My wallet thanks me too!!

Condo/House Update: Back in early November, we signed a contingent agreement to buy a house, but we needed to sell our condo first. So far we’ve had over 20 showings, 4 open houses and 1 lousy offer. Sadly, we lost the house we wanted to purchase last week, as the sellers couldn’t wait for us any longer. Understandable, but still really upsetting and disappointing. Not to mention that keeping our condo in constant “show” state with a toddler and a dog is exhausting. We are at a crossroads now and trying to decide if we should take the condo off the market and wait another year, or continue powering through now that the spring market is slowly heating up.

Grace: This has been a big month for Gracie! We are back on track with potty training (someone went through a HUGE regression in November); she started swim lessons and is doing amazing; and she started at a new drop-off play group two mornings a week. She loves being back in “school”! She is a child who thrives on a routine and schedule, and she loves making new friends!

Vacation Plans: We booked our family summer vacation! My younger sister is getting married 4th of July weekend in Hilton Head Island, SC! We love, love Hilton Head and are so excited to be going back for a week! We rented a house and already booked our flights.

We are also trying to decide what to do for our anniversary in September since it’s our five year!

Fun Activites!: We love playdates with friends, cupcake baking classes, spending time with family and our friends!

Favorite Looks: A few of our favorite outfits from this month! Its been cold, and I wear a ton of athleisure if we aren’t doing anything super exciting 😉

And oh yes, how could I forget to mention this – our Patriots are Superbowl bound!!! We can’t wait for the big game this weekend!!

 

We hope y’all had a great month!!!
