My 5 Things - How to Restart those New Year's Resolutions

I know we all start the New Year with some really fantastic expectations of ourselves and by the end of the month they start to fade away into old habits. I decided to kick old habits to the curb and refocus on my main goal and a few side goals as well. Each month I will edit the list for changes or accomplishments and post my results. So here is the first set of My 5 Things that I'm throwing to the world. Enjoy.

Here is my list of 5 Things I'm trying to get into the habit of doing:

1. Drink more hot tea
2. Meditate at least 2 times a week
3. Workout 4 days a week
4. Keep up my healthy and clean eating
5. Always donating or giving away stuff I don't need or use anymore

I made 5 things to focus on at once rather than a ton of things. These are my 5 things for the month of February. 

I'm drinking some hot green tea right now with a little squirt of honey in it. I LOVE hot tea and there is this super delicious Indian restaurant that has the most AMAZING hot chai tea that I can't stop thinking about!

I've always really been into meditation, but can never put my eager desire into action. I love the benefits and mindfulness but somehow I pass over the opportunity. Do you meditate? It is such a beautiful form of relaxation and finding your inner truth. 

I've started working out at my school and already am hooked. I LOVE exercising and I'm trying to reach my goal weight of 130 (That's ~60 lbs to loose, hopefully by August =).

I started out eating super healthy and clean and then the brutal blow hit. It is very hard to eat healthy and at all when you can't afford to buy groceries for awhile. So that's the point I'm at right now. 

I'm always trying to de-clutter and organize. Just want to get rid of stuff that's not used anymore and that is taking up space and cluttering my mind!

So all you have to do to re-inspire yourself to follow through with your New Year's Resolutions is to:

Step 1: Take one really important goal.
Step 2: Surround it with a few smaller goals.
Step 3: Don't try to do everything at once and don't overload yourself with dozens of complex goals.
Step 4: Start simple. 
Step 5: Write your 5 Things on a few sticky notes and place them where you will see them everyday.
Step 6: Never give up!

For me, this month is all about Mindfulness (*hint for next post*} of soul, mind and body. 

Stay tuned! 

So what are your 5 things to focus on for February? 
Let me know in the comments below!


Peace, love and blessings,

Miss Maully's March Madness {Musings Pt. 2}


AHHHH Mommy's sometimes I think I'm going CRAZY!! I LOVE this life though. 
Here's my most recent updates on my LIFE! 
L~ove
I~ntelligence
F~riends
E~xcellence

What do you think of my LIFE acronym? I just came up with it. I've been into acronyms lately. I think this one describes me pretty well. 

Anywayyyy...
I've been a busy bee! 

{Speaking of bees, please pay your regrets to Izzy Bee's family. Izzy was a 9 month old baby girl that grew her angel wings earlier this month due to a rare form of mitochondrial disease. You can visit her Facebook Page here and read about her and her family.
RIP Izzy, you will be forever missed! I totally bawled when I read about Izzy's passing. I had been following her on Facebook for awhile and it took me by surprise. I am still so sad because I felt like I got to know her. I ordered the Izzy Bee pendant off her FB page and still need to order the Team Izzy bracelets and T-shirt. I miss her and a so blessed to have a healthy and happy baby.}


Onto happier news, I have started my business {FINALLY} in order to have it ready for the Grand Opening of KCKCC Made. I am SO exited. I have purchased my power sander and tools to start. Now I just need the furniture! 

Power Sander!


Supplies!

Swatch Booklets!


Follow my business blog & news at:

I am developing my business website as well and it should be ready around the 5th of April.

Rosetta got her 4 month shots on Monday. My poor baby girl had a rough time that night and Tuesday. She got a low grade fever and just didn't seem her usual smiley self. =(
What reactions have your LO's had to their vaccines?

OH! I am FINALLY getting my Family Binder together! I WILL post pictures! 

&& I completed a Project!

Rosie's Rose Shadow Box~ The roses from her baby shower & hospital, and my roses from the hospital as well.


I'm on Spring Break from school this week. It't not a big change because I only take one online class this semester. But the little break is AWESOME!

I am just so BLESSED every single day. I love my baby girl more than anything in this whole world. I love my boyfriend SO SO SO much. He is a fantastic father! I have a wonderful family & extended family. I love my momma and am so grateful to have her by my side. 
She has always been there for me and always will be.
I love my city.
{Kansas City born and raised && I wouldn't have it any other way}
I count my blessings and LOVE my life. 
Yes, I have my bad days. I just had one today.
But the positives totally outweigh the negatives and I would't want my life any other way. I have met so many different people and had so many interesting and learning experiences. 
Life has a lot in store for me. The future is sparkling with possibilities. 

LOVE LIFE & LIFE WILL LOVE YOU BACK

What do you love about your life? I would love to listen to your stories!!

Miss Maully's March Madness {Musings}

It's been a crazy few weeks! I kept putting off the next post for the Featured Fans Interview because the last one took me so long to edit! {Was that an excuse?...JUST SAY NO!}
I'll do a LIFE update and then post the next Featured Fans Interview Q's this weekend. Check back then for more mommy time!

With it being tax season and all, I have been able to check MANY things off my to-do list leaving me feeling very accomplished. However, usually when I cross one off, two more pop up. 

Currently, my most important things to get done are as follows:

1. Get my business products together by the end of the month. This involves buying a few pieces of furniture and up-cycling them to sell in my store, Refab Rehab. Well actually, the items will be available for sale in my college's bookstore for new thing they are doing where students can get their businesses started. I am SO exited! =)

2. Get my business website up and running and order some business cards, but before that I have to re-design my logo... that's like 3 things isn't it?

{It's all about the business right now!} & Rosie of course!

3. I'm on the lookout for a Nanny position. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a job where I can take Rosetta with me to work and not leave her at home with her extremely tired daddy! {Remember: He works nights and goes to bed shortly before I leave for work, watching Rosie all day with little to NO sleep!}

4. Hopping on the Frugal Living bandwagon. My goal is to cut our spending down by A LOT by DIY-ing everyday items. Making our own hand soap, shampoo, body wash and conditioner. 
I am also working on Meal Planning, couponing, shopping thrifty, freelance work, composing the Family Binder {Blog Series is still in progress}, working on my business, webpage, Made by Maully products, my blog, my FB pages, reading, cleaning, working, school, crafts, book club, dieting & exercising...and more. I mean, I love being busy and all but DAMN I am one busy lady! I love it though. Baby steps scha-mecks. 

“Being busy is better than being bored. Bored left a long time ago. Busy is always around for me. ” 
― Tabitha Robin

I always place Rosetta first. That is one of the reason's why I am so busy, is that her care and well-being supersedes any semi-important to somewhat important to Momma's free time important. 

I definitely got off track. Anyway, the business is the most important thing right now. Hopefully I will be picking up the furniture this weekend and starting to up-cycle! I can't wait! Anywhoo...my business website is:


...and it is under construction because I have to have it looking perfect before I can publish it!

Here are some pics to end the post with. Enjoy your evening ladies!
