I have all these grandiose posts running through my head about motherhood, and wifeyhood, and daughterhood, but perhaps now isn't the time (newborn baby and all). Hopefully someday soon. But I do want to use this space to keep up with my "Life Goals" for 2016. Just to keep me honest and on track.
So numero uno: Use the good stuff, and use it up.
I have boxes of stationary I've moved from house to house, candles half burnt, beautiful dishes hidden and wrapped. Use them. And for things that are temporary, use them up before buying new ones. No more buying thank you notes in 2016. No more!! Write those notes, send them with love, don't be afraid to use the "good" cards... your beautiful, wonderful people deserve them.
Edited to add: After wandering around our apartment for 5 minutes, this list has grown. Use up before buying: nail polish, hair products, make up, all pantry things, cleaning supplies. I get nervous when precious perfumes get low, so I quit using them. And I dream that the perfect "sea salt texturizing spray" will transform my hair (instead of a good hair cut and realistic expectations!). Know what you have, use what you have, enjoy it while it lasts, and be done and move on. Let's do it.
