Joining up with Meghan and others for another week in review!  This is a short list, but celebrate the small victories, right? At least I accomplished a few things outside of work. This time of year, though, our days/nights look a lot like this (however, these photos were not even taken this week):

• I actually met my step goal several days this week, despite not being able to walk outside because I don’t do outside walks when it’s below freezing.
• Finally watched The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I say finally because we’ve had the disc (Netflix) for over a month. It ended up being very entertaining!
• Took photos for a Day in the Life post.
• Colored my hair.
• Started some organizing/seasonal clean-up that needs doing – fantastic boring stuff like that.
• Started a bullet journal and plan on using that beginning in February. If it works out I’ll post an update in a month.

And there you have it. I’m hoping for warmer weather this week and will attempt some more productivity, which I feel coming back… or maybe that’s just the feeling in my toes coming back because it is freezing in my office.

WEEKLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS (in no particular order)

• Put everything back in the holiday bins and back into storage.
• Updated the kiddo’s pictures on my desk at work and I’m looking forward to pulling out my new 2016 calendar.
• Prepped Enzo’s Student of the Week stuff.

• Walked out of Target with only the things on my list. Wait… nope, that didn’t happen.
• Started menu planning – one of my intentions for 2016.

• Bought a new home office calendar before the end of the year (usually it takes me until mid-January).
• Finally made sugar cookies with the kids and let them decorate with some natural food dyes I picked up.

• Started making some mental 2016 Intentions rather than goals or resolutions.
• Ended the weekend with Downton Abbey because by some miracle both kids were asleep by 7:40pm!

WEEKLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS (in no particular order)

• Did some random closet rearranging trying to free up more space in the kitchen. Ultimately, I just need to purge some stuff. I’m a hoarder.
• Did some meal planning. Really trying to make this a habit for 2016.
• Made lots of pies and have been eating all of the leftovers. It’s been a week of leftovers and random foods.

• Skyped/talked on the phone with my Mom, Dad and brother – just missed chatting with my sister. Too little time!
• Watched it snow and was excited for about 5 minutes. Now it’s too cold.

• Continued ongoing organization of our house. Will I ever stop trying to achieve organizational perfection?

• Got in some much needed relaxing time before the work week began.

Linking up again with Meghan for the Week in Review!

I feel like I didn’t get nearly as much done as I would have liked, but it’s that time of year when we start passing around bugs and procrastinating starts to sound oh so good.

WEEKLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS (in no particular order)

• Made snow globes with the kids and watched Phoebe marvel at the way glitter sparkles as it is poured out into her lap and on the floor.

• Got the oil changed in the van. Regular car and house maintenance stuff is such a pain sometimes.
• Started rearranging the downstairs – this time to accommodate the cabinet I finished painting.
• Made Hot Cocoa cookies for the cookie contest at work and won most creative.
• Went to Enzo’s preschool Christmas program. This year he rocked it and wasn’t nervous at all.
• Finally started watching Jessica Jones.
• Introduced the kids to ‘Elf’.
• Got in some cuddle time with the cats, who seem to be doing better day by day.

• Saw The Force Awakens and absolutely did not tear up at all.

• Made a gingerbread house with the kids. It came out of a box, but considering it was a first for all of us, I figured it was a good place to start.
• Went shopping and actually stuck to the list… sort of. Phoebe is a terrible enabler.

Now for a nice short week full of eating, playing, hanging with family and hopefully healthy munchkins!
