Summer weather is here on the Island! I love having a little summer bucket list to keep me motivated throughout the summer.
Knitting has always been my favorite hobby. It was my first real hobby that I had and I taught myself with a book. You can read more of my knitting story here.
As part of my goal to be creative everyday, I have started knitting a lot. For the past two months I have only knit hats (I am so over hats) for gifts. I am on my last three and I hope to have them in the mail by next Monday. My favorite hat that I am working on this month is the turquoise one for my little friend ( Hi E!)
All the hats in the photo above are my own personal patterns, but the last three hats that I am working on are patterns that I have found on Ravelry. Fluid Slouchy Beanie. Back to Schol(ar). Dustland Hat. Once I am done knitting these hats, I will only be doing personal knitting for the rest of the year.
I would like to publish a few of my hat patterns this year and learn how to dye yarn.
This weekend was everything that I love about weekends.
Biking over to the park so Wolfgang can run around and play with other kids. I really enjoy going on family bikes rides. We get fresh air (which I crave) and our view is the most beautiful of the ocean. When it is sunny on the Island the people are out and being active.
Drinking coffee from our favorite coffee shop by our house. It would be nice if we could ride our bikes there, but it is a little far and we have to leave the Island to get there.
Walking my 10,000 steps a day. I went on a 3.6 mile walk with one of my girlfriends on Sunday. Today, I started the Fitbit Weekday hustle challenge with a friend (Erin...Bring it!)
Taking the kids to the beach (our backyard) to discover sea glass (Ruby) and discovering sand (Wolfgang) for the first time. He has been to the beach, but never walked in the sand because the last time we went to the beach was in the summer and he was not walking yet.
Watching Sunday football with a group of friends. I also watch The Beauty Shop (shh... I liked it).
Cooking the best hamburgers on the grill.
Doing yoga on friday night really helped me to sleep. I am going to try and bring yoga into my everyday.
Playing two rounds of Cards Against Humanity.
Loving a clean home and clean kid. That is a win win!
Things Wolfgang discovered over the weekend:
This week we have...
This weekend we are looking forward to...
This year I want to keep it simple. I don't want a long list of goals that I'll have to feel bad about at the end of the year if don't accomplish them all. I want goals that will lift me up and make me feel good at the end of the day.
My (simple) goals for 2015:
Live Healthy: I want to be more active and only eat things that will nourish my body. I am tired of feeling "blah" and unmotivated to do things.
Love Wholeheartedly: Just what it says -- "Love Wholeheartedly" -- myself and everything around me.
Create Daily: I felt like my creativeness died last year and I want to get it back. I want to make sure that I am being creative everyday in some small form. I have always been a creative person and I need this in my life.
Shake Things Up: I want to do stuff that I would not normally do. I want to shake things up even if it means singing in the shower as loud as I can. Ha!
Cheers to reaching your goals in 2015!
