Happy Thursday! January is not my favorite month and today is all about beating the winter blues.
1. Something you do to beat the winter blues
I have been meal planning this month to have a general idea of what I will be cooking. This helps eliminate one more thing to think about at night. Feeling prepared helps me feel organized in this area!
2. Something you do for your family to bring joy over the winter
I am planning on making some Valentine treats to deliver early to my girls when I see them next week
3. Favorite cozy items
blankets, candle, hot chocolate or hot tea
4. Winter exercise habits
I have been going to the gym an average of 2 days a week. I would like to go more, but it is a habit I am slowly buildng.
5. Do you practice journaling or mediation
I make notes in my new devotion book I am using this year. I like the format of this where you focus on one bible chapter a week and specifically one verse.
6. Candles or essential oils
I do like having a candle burning most nights to feel relaxed.
7. Bedtime rituals
I need to read your tips on this because I don't sleep that great at night, well I should say, I don't sleep very long.
8. Morning habits
This goes back to my number 5 answer!
9. Favorite way to spend a day off
Hanging out with my greats!
10. Favorite winter themed movie
I watch the Hallmark winter movies and am looking forward to this week's movie filmed at Glacier National Park, which is where I got married. Here I am with my family at the exact spot I got married, but this was taken on our 20th wedding anniversary.
Joining up with Patty and Holly
That is so special that the whole family got to go back to Glacier National park for your 20th! Did you actually get to see any glaciers? I'm reading that they are getting harder and harder to see. I bet you girls will love their valentine's treats! I have big plans to send monthly care packages to my son once/if he goes away to college.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special 20th! Love that the girls were with you. We share some of the same rituals/habits- thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, what a beautiful place to get married. That devotion book looks like it would be very good and I love that verse. The older I get I seem to sleep less. Anyway, what really helps me is to eat a small handful of Pistachio nuts before going to bed. They have a lot of natural melatonin and it does seem to make a difference for me. I also sleep better if I stay away from social media before bed and read a book instead. Hope you have a good day.
ReplyDeleteI love that you were married in Glacier National Park...how rustically romantic! The devotional looks like a unique and in depth way to study the Bible.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you got married in Glacier Park AND that you went back for your 20th anniversary! I love Glacier Park, one of my favorite places.
ReplyDeleteYou got married in the park?? Well, that is cool. You really will enjoy the new movies coming out! And kudos to you for getting to the gym twice a week!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that you got to go back to the place where you got married for your 20th anniversary! That's so cool! And now I want to check out some of the Hallmark winter movies.
