Nanny to Mommy

I received complimentary products from Cariloha mentioned in this post. All opinions are my own.

 

Since so many of you have been asking for pictures about our new room since our massive purge and my sneak peak pictures on Instagram, I thought I would share with all of you. We organized a ton and still have a ways to go. We did the most work on our room. It was the room we were ignoring the most, so it was time. We also bought a new bedroom suit from Rooms-To-Go since we have never bought one for ourselves and our mattress was over 20 years old...YUCK! This was our Christmas, Birthdays, and Anniversary present to our selves. LOL

 

We also got some new bed sheets from Cariloha. I received the Classic Bamboo Bed Sheets Set in Ivory to review. Cariloha specializes in making products out of bamboo fabric such as clothing, sheets, towels, etc.

Your word of this year is Balance. I know you don't normally do a word of the year, but I have seen others do them and writing New Year Resolutions down, I've realized that BALANCE should be your goal word of the year.

You need a more balanced diet, making progress with simple steps will help. You need to balance your time better so you can spend more of it with your family, in order to find my family's Formula for Happiness.

Taking small steps to your goals is how we are going to find balance this year. Planning ahead and scheduling will help, but living in the moment isn't a bad idea either. We are gearing up for our best year yet. There are so many opportunities ahead and things we have planned. You turn thirty this year. So let's end our twenties with a bang!

I have always tried making New Year resolutions that would stick. And it seems great and really easy at first because you are motivated, but then by week three of the new year you are back to old habits. That's why I have decided to make smaller goals for myself this year, instead of traditional "resolutions". Easy to set, so I won't be weighed down by the heavy obstacle.

Knowing where and when to get the necessary vitamins for children who need extra minerals is something parents should learn, in order to give their kids the best chance in life as they can.
