Why I Don't Make New Year's Resolutions - What I Work on in January for a Peaceful Home

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

What are you doing to re-set for the New Year?

[@jennyjenkins877]

I'm very happy that my partner and I share a common goal to clean our entire home room by room. He does the big picture type of jobs and I do the fine details. I also want to make sure we declutter everything we don't need so I imagine each room will take at least a week.

I enjoyed your video! I would love a video about how you set up and use your planner. Also one about how you set goals.

Lots of wisdom here, Teresa. Thank you! No matter our age, we're always learning from each other.

Thanks for the chat! I like the idea of putting away Christmas decor and keeping out winter decor. It reminds me of The Nester. Thanks!😊

Yes, A planner video.. I’m doing a 3 day water fast starting Monday.. committing it to the Lord. I’ve done the 40 day Sugar Fast… it’s a wonderful fast to do. Thank you. A very thoughtful podcast.. gave me much food for thought and prayer! God bless you!

I have saved all my calendars for years and have recently considered transferring highlights to a book. Now I know it’s a concept that can work!! Thanks for the inspiration and Happy New Year.

Great minds think alike!! 🤩 Happy New Year, Julie!

Great ideas Teresa! I take my old calendar and go over anything important I need to transfer to my new calendar. Then I keep my old calendar for one year and pitch it at the new year so I always have the current year calendar and the previous year calendar to refer to… works great for me! I have had a simple Holiday notebook for years that includes Christmas and I simply record who I bought for and what I bought as Christmas gifts and what food we made for all the holidays and who was invited and who came. I evaluate after the holiday and decide if we had too much food, what we enjoyed, what wasn’t a hit. Then I make notes for the next year. It makes holiday planning streamlined and simple! Happy New Year! 🥳🤗💓

Janell here, there's a Christmas eve dinner tradition that hubby's mom started 60 some years ago. Hubby wants to still keep it going at our house which I have for the last 6 years, but I have tried to cut back which upsets him. The same for Christmas morning breakfast which thankfully is at our daughter's home. I don't bake all the cookies she did and he's better but still laments the past changes. How to make things simpler and not have a sad husband?
