NEW POST! Today I'm sharing all about my personal

While January is not magical, it IS my favorite month to get ready for the year ahead! I like to use January as my prep month - getting all my plans put down on paper, and organizing everything in my home so that I can walk into the year a little more put together.
.

New Blog Post! ➡️ Today on the blog, I'm shari

I had about six other things I probably should hav

I had about six other things I probably should have done today. But I wanted to get this wall done and functional before we start school on Monday.
.
And it was worth it.
.
I finished decorating and cleaning and sat down in the room excited to teach my kids. They came upstairs and lost their minds about how much “cooler” this space was now. (It was an empty wall this morning.)
.
Don’t underestimate the power of your space. A clean, functional, happy space can bring excitement, motivation, and peace! Clutter and dysfunction can do exactly the opposite.
.
This is not a guilt trip to clean your spaces. I wish I had a before of this space - it’s been full of boxes and junk for at least a month. And before that the boxes and junk were just in another room - had been since we moved here in 2020. Any guilt trips coming from me would be grossly hypocritical.
.
This is just a reminder to you and to me that the time we invest in our homes is worth it. Not to check a box or take the perfect photo - but to create a space we LOVE, one that fits our family and welcomes our friends and makes us happy.
.
It matters. That’s all. 💛

YAY!!! It’s time to start our 2022 Anchored Wome

Today is our first day back in our homeschool grou

Today is our first day back in our homeschool group, which makes tomorrow the day I was planning to start homeschooling. Except the last two weeks have been fuller than I ever remember Christmas break being, and I have not yet planned one thing. (Ok that’s not true. I planned Read-Alouds. But that’s it.)
.
Yesterday I cried because the overwhelm was real and I couldn’t figure out how to fit everything into the hours left.
.
And then I remembered my favorite thing about January: it’s PREP MONTH.
.
I always tend to feel overwhelmed after Christmas and New Years, so a few years ago I started looking at January, not as the starting line of the year, but as the preparation space BEFORE the starting line.
.
It makes all the difference. I can take the time I NEED to get my house and homeschool and personal life in order. I can pray through the things I’m thinking about instead of rushing into the next thing without thinking. I can even rest a little after the wonderful exhaustion that is Christmas and New Years (and for us, Emily’s birthday).
.
So after our homeschool group today I told the kids we are coming home to nap and read. And I pushed off the start of homeschool till Monday so that I can take a few days to actually think and pray through the plans before we dive in.
.
And I feel so much better.
.
January as Prep Month. Try it. Just the simple act of shifting those expectations might bring the freedom and slowness you know you need at the beginning of the year. 💛
