As part of my focus on clear this year, I feel like I need more clarity with monthly goals and really checking in with myself to make sure I’m getting where I want to be. So I’ve joined a monthly link up for bloggers all about goal setting, which will get me posting about — […]
Notions: Getting Your Life Together
Today is the first Monday of school, though the girl went back on Thursday. It feels like a new year in a way to me, too, since I was basically not working for almost three weeks while she was out of school. There are a lot of things I want to change about how I […]
