BETTER in 2014

 

My word for 2014. I think I did pretty well last year, with my word "Do". I did quite a bit. But this year. This year, I want to do better.

Better.

Isn't that a great word? 

This is what I said about it on Instagram: My word for 2014. There are so many things I want to do better and make better, but I will start with myself. Bettering my physical health and spiritual health are the top of my list. Being a better wife, mother, friend, example, bettering my business, my skills... I could go on and on. Bring it on, 2014! I'm ready for you!!! #betterin2014 #itstime #wholenewme #wellkinda #abetterme

I'm going to try to use the "better in 2014" hashtag throughout the year, as I post things that I think pertain to my word.

Don't we all just want to be a little better? I'm not talking better than everyone else, better than our friend or neighbor. I'm talking about being better than we were yesterday, last week, last year. Better than this morning. 

My biggest focuses right now are being better to my body and my spirit. They both get neglected so often and it's time that I give them the attention they need. Being a better mom and wife are the next biggest things I want to work on. My family deserves all my love and I want to give it to them.

I'm also going to better my blog and my etsy shop (Max & Maycie). Yay!

2014, you're going to be my best year yet! I hope you're ready!

Instagram!!!!

So, obviously my "doing" more this year hasn't included blogging, but I've found plenty more to do.

Instagram is pretty much my favorite thing ever. (Follow me @lilmellomama!) I post pictures of most of the projects I work on there. And since our computer is in the shop, you get some pictures from my phone. Goll, you're so lucky! (This is also my first time posting from my phone, so we'll see how it goes...)

This awesome navy and yellow knit fabric was $1 a yard and Walmart. I bought the whole bolt. Plus some. And sent some to my newest IG friend. :) Hi Annie!!! I can't wait to whip up a maxi skirt and whatever else my little heart desires. I have plenty of fabric after all.


The next few are just some random pictures from our Spring so far. Giant, delicious strawberries. Fires in the back yard. A trip to the zoo. The 3 bags of Cadbury eggs Dustin brought me when I asked him to get me one bag. Love that man. My hips don't though. And I had to speak in church last week. Easter Sunday. I survived, barely. Hopefully it really was a decent talk and all the nice things people said to me after weren't lies. ;)

Happy Spring!!! I'm so ready for it, though I'm sure we still have more snow in store. Gotta love the crazy Utah weather!
