2022 Goals, Habits & Planner Stack | Lady of the House Holidays #4

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Do you have a goal for 2022 you would be willing to share?

[@antonia.westcoast]

I’d like to learn how to cook! My husband does all of the cooking, and I’d love to be able to contribute to our household in this way. I feel like it will also help build my confidence in general ❤️ Happy new year!

[@notyayo]

I read a quote that really spoke to me. " Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence" So I plan on just being present. 💖🌷

[@danielleb6064]

My goals: Lose the weight I've gained over the past 2 - 3 years. Cook at home more, eat out less

[@LDWhitney4]

This year my goal is to create balance in caring for myself, home, family and work. Perhaps the best term would be developed routines

[@moniquehernandez97]

To walk on a consistent basis. To continue to perfect my sourdough bread and be more intentional about my time with my family.

[@99hummingbird]

You really inspire me to live a life as lady of the house. I relax just watching and listening to you!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I love knowing that, thank you!

[@roksannastephens4375]

Yes, I agree, she does doesn't she?! I love feeling feminine and being the lady of the house.

[@99hummingbird]

For the new year my plan is to organize my finances with the beautiful planners mentioned on your website!

[@notyayo]

I also am a very paper oriented person! I don't like the digital planning, I like to stay away from my phone and writing helps me get away from the busy day. Lovely planners Nikki!🌷

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That's so nice to know, thank you!

[@celestewatson7836]

Really enjoyed your morning barre! Would you ever consider sharing more about ballet? I'm a classical pianist and love hearing how others incorporate the classical arts into their lives.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you, I’ve talked about things in past videos but it’s just not the direction I wanted to go with my channel. It’s so nice to know you’re a classical pianist, how lovely!

[@emilyallen8436]

Have you ever heard of the Milk and Honey channel on KZbin? I think you'd really enjoy Charlotte's content. She is BIG on planning. So much so that she created a planner you can download and print out for a binder. I really enjoy using a binder for planning. I can get everything in one place with dividing tabs. I'm like you....prefer paper and hand written. Also...I'm with you all the way on doing ballet for exercise. I danced for 26 years. Retired at 30 but I still love to dance! Don't kick quite as high at 40 lol but it's still a lovely way to exercise! Ooooo....how wonderful would it be to do a once a week "class" for us to follow along with!?!?! Because you're obviously not the least bit busy already. 🤣 Just a fun thought! Happy New Year!

[@mrsjudys]

Oh yes! Paper planners for me too! As a retired teacher/professor, planners and writing are very good for one's brain. There is something about cursive writing that helps our brain connections. I love planners and pens and paper! Look into whole foods plant based foods and eating. I not only lost weight without trying but I feel so much better. I use maple syrup and honey on my Cheerios instead of sugar. Bless you!

[@siennazylis1980]

I grew up dancing, but decided to pursue visual arts through high school and college. My dancer heart has never died, though. As Martha Graham said, “a dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” Seeing you keep your dancer heart alive is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That is so true! Great quote, thank you!

[@antonia.westcoast]

You always have such gentle and encouraging advice 💐

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you, that means a lot!

[@cecilhudson1583]

I'm a paper planner too. I work part time, two boys in soccer and after-school activities and a husband that rotates between days and nights....those are just a few things I juggle. My health is one of my goals... Paying off some debt and save more, get some home projects done... Love watching your videos. Wishing you a happy New Year!

[@suzanneturley4433]

Hi Nikki, I followed you every step of the way. My favourite idea is the ‘I can be messy’ book. Using pencil or pen. Absolutely brilliant. I also applaud your idea of going back down a dress size. I started the same thing in January 2020 as I weighed over 81kg and in September 21, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on my right side but my weight was down to 64kg, and a Size 12/14. I haven’t been that size since leaving school 54 years ago. When I mentioned this to my Consultant, she was thrilled as the type of Cancer I had was oestrogen receptive, and by losing weight, I had basically been starving it. It’s well known that after the menopause, a lady’s oestrogen drops, but if there are cells becoming cancerous, oestrogen may feed these cells, and so the oestrogen ‘thinks’ it is still needed. I plead with all ladies, if you can, please, please take care of your weight and always go for your mammograms. The mammogram that I had was supposed to be my last one and I was tempted not to bother. If I hadn’t, none of you would be reading this now. Love and blessings to you all. ❤️

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you for sharing all of this Suzanne, it was quite inspiring!

[@lola-littleoldladyadventur5353]

This video made me so happy. I get teased for my planners. I had a podcast meeting yesterday and my cohost said, "You only brought two planners?" I'm glad my brain isn't the only one that works that way. Thank you for your videos and showing how elegance and real life can coexist.

[@juliecarns]

Hi Nikki, You look beautiful in your blue coat with your hair up! It’s my official morning off and I’m getting a snack after antiquing this morning *bliss*! I keep one planner and do prep/brain empty on super sticky notes inside. Goal this year is to keep all the plates spinning in our home, home school, advising our young adults in their businesses and relationships, and always my health. Great inspiration seeing your morning workout; the light, windows & mirrors in your room are fabulous! All the best, Julie 🌷

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Great idea Julie, thank you for sharing your goals, I wish you the best with them! Thank you!

[@ilkaschulze644]

In Our home it's the same: everybody is home now, and it feels like I'm doing nothing anymore. But I'm running thorugh the house all day long. It's okay. I'm enjoying the holiday season a lot. We're all calming down, and that's worth it. Have a wonderful New year, Nikki! ♥️

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I so relate! Happy new year....my kids go back to school tomorrow!

[@LDWhitney4]

Love your morning routine of ballet stretches. I use to have a barre routine and need to bring that back- so graceful and relaxing. I do not like digital calendars, but hubby does. He enters them in a shared phone calendar and I add them to my desk calendar. I ended up going with the year long, “She’s in her Apron” calendar by Kimmie. I will have to start carrying a little notebook for notes, etc. Love the health journey calendar! Great idea.

[@keilynnbasque2529]

I absolutely love the idea of having a messy planner where all the ideas go first!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, I think it keeps me from wanting to switch planners half way through the year too.

[@reclaimedtreasures5749]

Too much screen time bothers my eyes as well. I like how you said "Lord willing" when you referred to your financial goals. You are an inspiration! Many Blessings to you and your family in the new year.

[@roksannastephens4375]

Lovely Nikki, yes how important it is to move our DNA. I stretch daily for 20 mins or so. I don't have my mom any longer, so it's nice to see you spending time daily with your mom. Chickens and eggs are lovely. Love your journal stacks!! I started a tracker of daily food, weight and also my mental, emotionally, spiritual health too, and in separate journals. I too like physical journals over computer ones. I don't like being on my phone longer than necessary because of the EMFs they emit and my eyesight seems to get worse being on a lot. Thanks for sharing your process of your journals. I am trying to give up sugar as well, and have been doing intermittent fasting and eating more whole food, organic, and non-GMO. Awh your doggie!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That's so good Roksanna, thank you for sharing all of this!

[@roksannastephens4375]

[@lindaleclair8938]

I gave up sugar years ago (I do eat a bite or two a few times a year). I feel so much better. I always enjoy your videos. I'm in my mid sixties and my husband had a major health issue, so realized I need to seriously declutter my home to make it easier to downsize.

[@wonderingstar29]

Nikki.. its a great idea to have a book recording on your health and every thing that goes with it to keep track of your well-being....I have recorded on and off what I ate...exercises..blood pressure..weight etc....I am hoping in 2022 I will be more consistent with my health note book!!! My new resolution..hoping to be more motivated in achieving higher level of skills I have!!Your vid was thought provoking and inspiring to forge ahead of what I would like to do!!!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That's a wonderful goal, thank you for sharing it with me! Wishing you the best!

[@lindarobertt6206]

Hi Nikki, I really like the way you have several planners for different purposes. This idea really inspires me to have my goals more visible. I think this will inspire other viewers. I hope I will be able to find some of those at Target.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I sure hope it does! I have seen them at Target now so I hope you found them too!

[@Oregon-Zan]

I’m a lot like you, I need to write it all down. I am going to get myself journals for the new year. I’m also planning on removing sugar from my diet. Thanks for this video.

[@adelvecchio1029]

I'm such a planner geek! One of my favorite times of the year is when I order my planner for the following year :-). I love the new tier. I'm working out how I can do it!

[@pennywheeler2598]

Greetings Nikki. Stretching is a part of my morning routine.....90% of the time. I do believe, if you took dancing lessons growing up and had a passion for it.....the art of dance will be a part of your being forever.💙 Your planners are beautiful, I love the color.....peonies and roses are a perfect combination. In late spring I start to pick my white roses and my lily of the valley. I place that combination all over the house. It's my favorite combo and the season for lily of the valley is so short. I do everything on paper. It's comforting and artistic for me.....as an artist I have a passion for creativity.....I love working with my hands. That's just how I roll. I enjoy it, it gives me peace of mind. I understand where your coming from. Take care Nikki and many blessings for the coming new year.🦋🌿

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That's wonderful Penny! I agree, it's always a part of us. Thank you!

[@mirelaxo]

I’m such a paper planner too. Brings me joy to write on paper over typing on a screen.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, some of us like to sit with our thoughts on things for a while, so a screen just isn't great for that.

[@nancymusser9504]

Hello Nikki... I love the peaceful beginning of your video. I also have always enjoyed a planner every January. ( sometimes they were simple notebooks) I am drawn to one that brings beauty as well as function nowadays because of you ❤️ I just look forward to a new year no matter the circumstances around me. By having Hope and goals each day I feel I have a purpose each day. I hope you have a beautiful New Year for you and your family. 💕 nancy

[@psskutt]

All paper, all the way! 💚

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes!

[@toniwadsworth7577]

I find that when I watch your videos, I am in the same spirit as you. That is what “inspired” means! In this video I enjoyed seeing you in your grammy’s sweater again. I would enjoy seeing a video on your thoughts about sweaters which go well with dresses.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

How lovely to know! Yes, her sweater is my "house sweater" and brings me comfort. I don't currently have many sweaters, especially in the style I'd like for dresses but that will be a focus this coming year in finding the ones I love.

[@user-yi2qn7jb2k]

I try to stay away from my phone as much as possible, so paper planner all the way! And there's so many beautiful paper planners these days!

[@peggylancour5628]

I also think it is important to look at lovely pictures. It calms me, inspires me and makes me happy. Nice to see that you like that too.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Absolutely!

[@kayburris8464]

Loved seeing your streching workout. That would be very interesting for you to share with us. Glad the chickens are all happy now. Fresh eggs are good! I hope you and your family have a blessed New Year!!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I plan on sharing a peek each week into that routine. Thank you Kay, I wish you a happy one as well!

I'm so glad!

[@azureloves9006]

Happy New Year Nikki!! I hope to read one book a month, be active every day, be more active in my community, and build strong friendships. I'll never tire of paper planners as I also love writing down my to do's and goals. I need to buy mine now!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you for sharing your goals! I hope you found one you love!

[@healthylifeingredients6211]

Dearest Nikki, your brain seems to function a lot like mine does. I'm finding as I age (I'm only 46), I have to write down my thoughts, plans, habits, goals etc in multiple notebooks. I don't love it. As a person whom thrieves on having less, I'm trying to come up with a way to have only one. I may this year experiment with a bullet journal or create my own. I refuse to use any sort of electronic planner/calendar. It just is not the best solution for me. You mentioned fitting better into your clothes. I so feel you on this. I bought a pair of jeans one size bigger. They are actually too big for me which I'm happy about. I know I could stand to lose 10 pounds to fit into my size 2 comfortably. It's hard but I know what I need to add more of, hoping that will crowd out the "bad". I follow Jennifer and am so inspired by her and her weight loss journey. Have you considered IF? I too need to eliminate sugar and breads. Good luck! Saying and writing down your goals for the year works. You got this! - Leslie

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I know there are folio systems you could use multiple journals and trackers in....my problem will always be the beautiful options of planners and what each has inside. I prefer that to making my own I guess. I hope you find something you love and that works well for you. I went up in size a couple of years ago and then spent a lot of money on that new size, I refuse to do that again. It's nice to know what motivates us, for me it's my dresses. I've been doing IMF for years but don't care to talk about it. My husband used that method to lose a lot of weight years before I started my channel. That alone doesn't work for everybody though. It's best paired with a no sugar, low carb diet, especially for someone like myself. Sugar makes me swell up, the same with my husband so this time, he's cutting that out too. Thank you, I wish you the best as well Leslie!

[@shirleyannaphroditeofficial]

Dear Nikki, Discovering you had been one of the greatest gifts this year has brought me. Thank you so much for YOU.🌹 P.S. I’m inspiring and excited to revisit my life as a ballerina 🩰.

This was such a sweet comment, thank you for sharing your feelings with me!

[@annjoseph1507]

Hi dear Nikki, as I am counting my blessings I received last year, just want you to know, you're one of those special blessings. You've inspired me so much in so many ways. While I so much wish to become like you, I also hope to raise my daughter to be someone like you. Loads of love and prayers.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That is so nice to know, thank you for sharing that, it means a lot to me!

You and I are in the same boat. Now the holidays are over, I’m looking forward to feeling comfortable in my clothing again. Things have been getting a little tight. 😅 Best of luck with your journey!

[@anye76]

I have the same Rachel Parcell planner too🤭 I danced from 2 y.o. until I was 19. Every Saturday tap, jazz and ballet. Oh it was wonderful. I found Ballet Beautiful by Mary Helen Bowers and I do her online ballet classes. The pandemic shut down my local dance studio which offered adult lessons. I miss it so. It's not the same inkine but is still very much doable. 💕🌷🤗💞

Oh my goodness I took ballet and I absolutely loved it but I didn’t continue because we were going to do a show at the mall. So I quit from stage fright. I do regret not continuing classes. How do I know because I make it such an intention to move gracefully in my everyday life. The online classes is certainly something I will think of thank you for the idea.

[@rachelruiz8399]

HI 👋 NIKKI I LOVE ❤️ THAT YOU ARE A GOOD DAUGHTER AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR MOM GOOD FOR YOU👆🙏

[@0JReynolds]

I lost a lot of weight in 2021 but these past months I have really Inoticed it trying to come back. I cut myself back a couple of days ago. I already wear my clothes loose because after cancer, cloths causes my skin to become irritated. ( even when washed without detergent). I also refuse to go up a dress size. I took over eight years of ballet and it’s good to continue working out and dancing. Happy New Year 🎆 ~ Janet.

[@brifren2]

Bonjour! Loving paper and pens, my planners are always paper ones :) and they need to be pretty, chic and effective. It would be a terrible punishment if I was made to use a digital calendar instead... can't stand these 😊 My favourites are Filofaxes: a personal size as a planner (I can take it with me on my regular trips to Paris), and an A5 (stays at home) with different sections for finances, books, movies, health, and an alphabetical index for miscellaneous. My favourites are vintage leather filofaxes in beautiful colours. My creative mind loves rings because I can add and remove or reorder pages! They have pockets, and inserts which can be personalized. Your planners and notebooks are gorgeous especially the peonies ones and the 'envelope' one you take in your handbag 💝but they are not available here. I also have a Commonplace notebook (to keep my ideas, inspiration, favourite quotes, a new book or movie I hear about, etc, everything interesting that cross my mind and that I can write down quickly to remember it, and can be copied later if needed into the proper filofax or notebook. If you don't know about the Commonplace book, you may want to look it up on wikipedia or someone else, its history is fascinating, dating back many centuries, with so many famous and unknown people having one... or many over a lifetime. Lots of people use the term 'brain dump, notebook' nowadays but I don't find this elegant. Because I'm French I call it my "Carnet de bord" which means "journey notebook" or "travel log". And life is a journey, isn't it? :) It was a delight to hear you talk about your beautiful planners and notebooks, and how you use them, thank you so much Nikki!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I have been tempted to get something similar, with that vintage vibe. It's funny you should comment on the term "brain dump" I find this so distasteful too. Thank you for sharing all of this!

[@anazagmester5154]

Oh, I totally agree with you- I'm a paper planner girl too. I don't like looking at screens, but I love love love writing, and the sound of writing on paper. Nikki, what do you do with old planners-do you rewrite some important information and recycle or do you just throw them/keep them? My goal is like yours to track my meals and to start exercising. A few months ago I've had my 5th baby and totally out of ...everything. so I decided to start healthy

[@tammieecho3098]

Your barre sequence is beautiful and inspires me to think about beginning my days in a more elegant, less rushed manner. The Chicky Licky saga makes me chuckle. So enjoyable! Happy New Year to you & yours. 💗

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you kindly Tammie! It really does make a big difference, just taking that time for ourselves. Happy new year!

[@kellichandler2752]

Nikki I did what Jennifer L. Scott does, and lost weight. Very thankful!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That's great, I've been doing that for years but it hasn't been a solution for my body. Sugar bloats me as do carbs.

[@autismlifestylevlog4379]

I would love to see how the sugar scrubs you gifted turned out, and how your holiday dress looked. Happy New Year!

[@bevsines876]

Hi Nikki. I begin my day similarly to you except with yoga moves and stretches which naturally include breath work. This sets me up for my day ahead. If for some reason I don't get to do this then my day doesn't seem to go smoothly. This will be my first year using a day planner. I've already written many things into it. Before my diary would be overloaded to the brim with STUFF. Now it will be better organized. Loved the video. I can relate to so much. Happy New year to you and your family with lots of love. Bev xx Your mum's balcony looks very inviting and homely.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That's wonderful Bev! I hope you have still been enjoying your daily planner. It can take some getting used to but will really help you stay on track if you write out your lists and scheduled days for things. Thank you!

[@sozod2000]

Thank you for your inspiring and motivational videos! I'm working on making my own calendar with a mix from calendar layouts I've enjoyed in the past. This is my first year making my own because in this season I actually have more time to do something creative like that. Husband and I are starting a 10 day juice cleanse so I will be quitting sugar too! I'm at that same spot you are in the wardrobe...not wanting to go up a size, so I am doing something about it. I start my mornings with Marianda Esmond White - a former professional ballerina and she has a program on public TV stations called Classical Stretch...love it! I took ballet as a young child and teen, and had many lovely classes☺. Peonies are my favorite flower and I will be planting more as soon as possible. 🏵🌸💐

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That sounds like a lot of fun, I hope you come up with something you really like and can use. I LOVED hearing that you are doing something about it! If we don't like something, we can change it and not just talk about it. Your mornings sound lovely and that is so neat that you can grow Peonies!

[@karenschmoutz6785]

Giving up sugar is hard-really hard! I did in July, along with beginning an exercise routine M-F for the first time in my life, and intermittent fasting. Have dropped 25 pounds (roughly a pound per week), which is pretty good for a 64-year-old lady. Despite backsliding from Dec.23-Jan.1 (Christmas cookies!!), I was on the treadmill at 6:30 am this morning along with squats, leg lifts, etc. I still don’t like exercise but I Love the results so…the adventure continues. Best of luck with your own journey.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

It is very hard! Congratulations on what you were able to do and yes, IMF is and has been part of my life for some time now but that didn't take away my bloating. That's something that can only go away for some of us by cutting the sugar and carbs. Anytime I ate something with that, even if I had been doing so well, I blew up again. IMF isn't the complete solution for everybody. Wishing you the best as well!

[@saharalipour8540]

How soothing, thank you so much

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

To help you could look into sugar replacements such as stevia, xyletol etc. Sugar is in everything! It's really hard to escape isn't it?

Oh and your book on Roses is so beautiful!! Lots of roses seem to have French names :) Thank you for sharing some of the pages! One of my favourite books on roses is "Redouté Roses" by Pierre-Joseph Redouté: He was an amazing French artist, his roses are extraordinary well drawn, in a vintage style for us today as he lived in the 19th century and his first book was published in 1817 I think. His work is still so much loved, whether in books, or framed roses. Years ago, my mum offered me a couple of her Redouté roses frames; and one of his books - I cherish them so much! I am not sure if they are your style of roses but if you don't know him already, this artist and his books can be looked up easily :)

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I would love a gallery wall of those roses. His work is extraordinary!

[@marenlatham4349]

I also do NOT like digital planners. You use a different part of your brain for typing as compared to writing, and it's been proven that the things that you physically WRITE down, you remember better typing. When I type something on a phone or computer, it doesn't feel like it's mine, if you know what I mean. And I really love the way you have several planners for different things. I have done that too and for some silly reason have felt...almost guilty about it. Just like you said, sometimes you think "it's a bit much." But really, it works so well and totally helps me stay focused on one aspect of life at a time. If I see too many options, I can really get sidetracked. I really like your plan about having one book just for your health. You have inspired me. I am going to do the same thing. Like you, I will not share it with anyone. It's for myself so I can better see where I am consistently doing well and where I am falling short. It's a great idea. It would just make a person stay accountable and with any health changes, it's consistency that makes the difference....not drastic practises that can never be maintained for the long run.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

So true! The best way I can describe it is I'm feeling different at different times of the month and sometimes just want to sit with my thoughts, plan things out or work right off of a specific list because my head is spinning. Things change, I change, my planners change and there is no reason to feel bad about that. The same way we are full of energy some days and others not. I have really been enjoying putting those things in my health journal. I hope you enjoy having yours!

I've purchased some new planners (one of the ones you have is included) and I'm trying to put it all in one place so I can organize it. However, now I can't find the main one I purchased a couple of months ago. I think it's somewhere in my bin of papers in my office. Have to find it tomorrow!

Nikki, My goal for this year is to make time for creativity. It brings me so much joy but is always last on my list and often I never get to it. I love your planner system. I would like to recommend a podcast called Half size Me with Heather Robertson. She also has a website. Her tips and suggestions for lifelong weight management have been life changing for me this year. It isn’t a program, just sound and practical tips. She is really worth the listen. Happy New Year!

Hey, Nikki! Thanks for the inspiration to have a “messy, ideas as they come to me” book...yay! I write every morning in a “stream of consciousness” writing practice called Morning Pages (Julia Cameron), and having a smaller book available next to me as I do this writing practice will work perfectly as a place for me to quickly jot down ideas as they stand out in my mind. Again, yay, and Happy New Year of all the pretty planners and books!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I learned about Morning Pages too. I find if I don't have that, I'm sitting there making mini calendars in my notebooks to sort things out in my head.

[@donnadoverspike9139]

I like paper all the way. I am still trying to figure out how many planners I will faithfully use.Have a bless day!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, that's a discussion we must have with ourselves ;)

[@amandascott7702]

Loved the video Nikki you are such a pleasure to watch . I think you look beautiful dont worry to much about your weight just enjoy what you eat in smaller amounts . Hope you had a blessed new year xxx

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you Amanda! Happy new year!

[@babymoon5282]

In my experience I would bring that plant inside until it looks perky again. Keep moist.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, definitely when it gets too cold and windy. It broke so some of the leaves are dying which is why it looked so sad.

[@lisaporch8922]

Happy new year!

[@victoriaquezada]

Totall with you on PAPER, not PC or phone for calendering and to do lists.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes! It really feels like I free my mind when I'm not looking at a screen.

[@GratefulWindee]

hi,Nikki. what do you do with your old planners and journal, throw them away or keep it?

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I threw a lot of my old ones away before but now I have been keeping them, or at least my favorite ones.

[@StephanieHallBurns]

Happy New Year, Nikki! XXOO

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Happy new year Stephanie!

[@Jenekks]

Oh, the monthly 3 hole punched one looks really nice. What would you call that style? I didn't see it in the description...

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

It’s just a month at a glance but I couldn’t find it online to link it unfortunately.

Happy new year 🎈🎊🎆

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Happy new year!

I had always heard that eating sugar makes you crave more and it is absolutely true. I had labs about a year ago showing I’m pre-diabetic so I had to limit my carbs which, of course, especially, meant sugar. My weight is just melting off. I’ve lost almost 40 pounds since. (Slow and steady wins the race.) But, I don’t even want sweets at all until I have a rare dessert and then I want them nonstop after that. I had never believed that until now. Losing this weight feels so much better than any of those carbs taste.

[@BarbyDailey-Rurallife40]

Hi Nikki. I've used mostly lined notebooks here and there. Seeing all of your planners, I wonder, at what point to you throw them away? Do you have stacks of them somewhere? Just curious because knowing my self that's how it would be for me, lol. I would like to know how you quit sugar because Of all the things I need to do...that would be it. Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I've thrown many of my older ones away. Last year I decided I'd keep them for now because I love to look back at my choices and there is just something about having them like a memory book of sorts. I have a box that I've been keeping them in but maybe one day I'll end up throwing them away. I may share parts of my journey but it's not what I want my channel to be focused on of course. We shall see. Happy new year to you as well!

[@lisar7281]

Have you thought Abt going vegetation we switched to honey and non white sugar

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

No, but it’s nice to know you found it helpful

[@joethaczarnecki7056]

Curious why don’t you have grass? Where do you live?

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

How I would love grass! I live in Las Vegas, NV....it's a desert over here. It takes a lot to keep grass up here but is possible. Maybe one day.

[@honorjune]

Do you make these body workouts daily as you showed in the beginning of this video? How much time do you take for this? Wished to see it clearly rather than in a blurr..anyway those are graceful movements. Do your chickens harm the plants and flowers around? They do peck and eat most greens here..

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, it's so important to have something we do each day, even if it's just a walk. 15-30 minutes. The blur is for me and my comfort, thank you. Yes, the chicken was harmful to our flowers and plants but now they are safely tucked away in their coop. It's better because we get coyotes that hunt small animals where I live.

[@jbclayville]

It is so elegantly modest, so pretty and not private. Is your “morning bar” ballet? I actually google determine online looking for instructions, it’s such a lady like way to start an exercise. I would really love direction to find instructions to implement this in the lives of my daughters and I, as well as providing this lady like option to my friends and those I mentor in womanhood and girlhood.

[@thebarnburners]

Hey Nikki! Do you bleach your sheets? How do you keep the whites white?

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Hello Amy, yes, I always add a little bleach to my sheets.

[@angelakimov384]

Right here with you 🤝🙌👏 plans on paper! No computer or phone for this girl. By the way, was that green you wore in the intro? Beautiful. I don't know why I made it up in my head, that you're a redhead lol cuz I heard you say it was brown before. It's lovely with green is all I had to say 💚

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, I love the pastels!

[@vintagebeliever5023]

I went vegan feel lots better!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That’s great!

[@Mmolesy]

I thought mistress referred to a woman the husband was keeping on the side. Thats the only time i have heard that word used. 😱

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I know, I thought the same! Apparently you and I need to brush up on our vocabulary ;) It's simply a woman in a position of authority or control.

[@Mmolesy]

@@TheLadyoftheHouse Interesting!

[@monicab.5904]

I'm a college student and strongly dislike digital planning because no matter how customizable the program allows it to be, it's NEVER as efficient as just jotting things down however I like, in whatever color I like, etc. The idea that my computer can be better at organizing my life better than me is just wrong. I also just don't like being on my laptop.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, so true!

[@karmakomodia]

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]
