Friday Favorites: After the Holidays

Today I'm linking up with Erika, Narci and Andrea for some Friday Favorites. 

I really enjoy these super random posts each week. 

All you need to do is share some of your favorites from the week.

 Time Off/Routine

As much as I enjoy time off, I love getting back into a routine. 

Some schools got 2 whole weeks off, and I'm not sure what I would have done if that was us. 

We got a 1.5 weeks off and that was enough for me. 

I've cleaned practically every room in my house multiple times, and I was just ready to get back to it.

 New planners

I'm a bit of an over-planner and organizer. 

I love the new year for the freshness that it brings and new planners. 

This year I ended up with two new planners. 

I'd had my eye on the Life Planner by Erin Condren for a while, but I didn't want to splurge. 

Well, with the sale before Christmas and my Discover rewards, I really wasn't going to "pay" anything for it. 

So, I jumped right in. 

It really was so easy to design. 

I literally kept going back to the home screen and creating another planner and adding it to my cart because I thought I was missing out on steps. 

The second planner I received as a gift. 

My aunt got me this Living Well planner last year.
I absolutely loved it with keeping track of finances and wedding deadlines.
Little did I know that she would get me it again this year.

So, I have two planners and have uses for them both.
Come back next Monday to see how I'm using them. 

 New Blogging Schedule

On my final Friday Favorites of 2016 I mentioned that I would only be blogging on Monday, Wednesday's and Friday's in the new year. 

I was getting too bogged down with posts and missing out on regular life because of it. 

That wasn't my intention, so I decided to be more intentional about my blogging schedule. 

I've loved blogging three days this week. 

One- I like that I've set those days in stone because I'm just a planner and don't like doing things on the fly. 

Two-I've enjoyed blogging on those 3 days more than I had when I was doing five. 

Three-I feel like I can put more energy into those 3 days than I could when I was spreading it to five. 

New Years Goals

I absolutely love goals! 

I have loved reading all about other people's intentions for this year. 

My students crack me up and keep saying "New Year, New You."

I think that statement has been overused if you would ask them. 

On a completely serious note, I love all of the optimism. 

I've even seen a few new runners in my town. 

If you know me, I love runners!!

There's something about a new year that just makes everything seem more reachable. 

Here's to hoping you've stuck with whatever goal/intention or resolution you set!

I hope you all are enjoying a fresh start to 2017.

Have a great weekend!
