Happy New Year!
​
I hope 2024 is off to a good start for you! We had a pretty relaxed NYE here. My husband and I stayed home and watched football, played games, and ate tasty food.

We had ordered some food from Mackenzie Limited. We enjoyed all of the things we ordered and it was nice to have some different food and not have to do a bunch of cooking.

December had some stressful times including a family member in the hospital, thankfully they are recovering well now, and some disrupted plans but we made the most of it and were still able to enjoy the holiday season.

We spent Christmas Eve morning with my husband's family and the afternoon with my family. We also did a Zoom call to open stockings on Christmas with my family and otherwise had a pretty quiet Christmas Day.

I'm looking forward to 2024 now and hoping to do a lot of home projects starting with a lot of decluttering! Having less clutter will make it easier to do some bigger projects we have planned.

We had been looking to move but it's looking like that just won't be the best plan for now so instead we are going to make this house a better fit for us. I'll be sure to take you along the way!

And be sure you are following me on Instagram because I really hope to start sharing more there this year!

I'd love to hear how your December went, hit reply, and let's chat.
