Hello and Happy New Year 2025 friends!
It's the beginning of the month and I'm joining Jenn for her Currently link-up. This month we are looking at what we are loving, doing to stay warm, resolving, organizing, and wearing.
LOVING: I loved the holidays and spending it with family and friends. I had a busy December with getting ready for Christmas and I loved that my husband and daughter were available to help with everything. I had family over for Christmas day, went to a friend's holiday party, and I loved going to lunch with friends to celebrate my birthday. I had a nice birthday going out to dinner with my husband and daughter to one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the neighborhood. I had a quiet New Year's Eve going to a local pub and watching the ball drop on TV. I had a wonderful holiday but I'm also happy now that the holidays are over. I'm tired! LOL!
DOING TO STAY WARM: I tend to dress in layers to stay warm. I always wear joggers, a long-sleeved top, and a sweater, crewneck sweatshirt, or cardigan. I love wearing my pjs and bathrobe and curling up on the couch with a blanket to watch TV or read a book.
RESOLVING: I am resolving to eat healthier now that the holidays are over. I want to eat less sweets as I ate a lot of cookies and cake over the holidays.
This is the tray of cookies my sister-in-law made for us. We look forward to her holiday cookies every Christmas. My neighbor also gave us cookies that she baked for us.
ORGANIZING: I have organized and packed away our Christmas decorations. I have been organizing and going through all areas of the house. I have thrown away stuff and donated bags of clothes. It's a work in progress after being in our home for 30 years.
WEARING: When I work out I always wear leggings and a T-shirt. When I'm at home I've been wearing joggers or sweatpants, a long-sleeved top and sweater, fleece, or a sweatshirt. I dress in warm comfortable clothes when I'm at home.
What have you been up to and is currently new with you?

ReplyDeleteOH yes, layers are key this time of year for sure! My son wanted to hike today until we realized that it was only 6 here with the windchill and boy is it windy! Your sweater is so beautiful. It sounds like you had some wonderful holiday and birthday celebrations.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday sweet lady. My husband has his birthday close to Christmas and it's always a fun time. Love getting organized...this year it's getting things ready for another camping trip. I have a table set up to help me with that. Happy new year!

Yes to organizing, donating items we don't use, and planning to stay warm by enjoying the fireplace with good tea and a good book. Happy, Healthy New Year to you !
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Julie, it sounds like you had a great December but like you I'm always pleased when it's over, I'm going to cut out all the sweets too and try to eat more healthily. Happy New Year! 🙂
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday!! Love your sweater Julie...I am hoping it gets warmer here soon, but if it's going to be cold, your sweater is perfect!! Happy New Year my friend!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Julie. I love wearing leggings. I have been re-organizing too. Happy New year.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to convince Rachel to get a bathrobe so she can be cozy in her pjs without dragging a blanket around the house. We'll see if I'm successful...!
