Seven on Saturday 1/7/23

This has been a week of getting back into the swing of things for me.

I’m trying to give myself a little grace as I make the transition into the new year on the blog, and in our home. I like to use the first couple of weeks of the new year to evaluate areas that I need to work on, and begin to implement some new habits and processes.

I’ve been working through the Word of the Year study by Maggie at She Pens Truth to focus in on a word for 2023. I narrowed my list to 5 words — balance, create, cultivate, intentional, and present, but I’m strongly leaning toward “balance” as my focus word for the year. I tend to be an all-or-nothing kind of girl putting all of my focus and energy into one area of life and business while neglecting others. So, I’m hoping to be a little more balanced in all areas of my life this year.

I transitioned our home from Christmas into cozy winter decor this week, and I shared all about my cozy winter decorating ideas in this post.

I also joined 8 of my blogger friends in a Celebrate the Holiday Valentine’s Day Blog Hop and shared how to make and decorate with these adorable yarn-wrapped hearts.
