Some of our family goals are already slipping a bit (spending less at Starbucks 👎), but others I think we're really kicking a$$ at. Family walks, for one thing. Truth be told, winter and fall are my favorite seasons for walks. There's beauty in every season, but something about bare branches against gray skies gets me every time. To steal a line from Anne Shirley:
That being said, it can be very easy to get into the habit of just staying in and snuggling on cold dreary days, (I know you East Coasters are laughing at me right now ❄❄❄) so we're trying to be deliberate about getting out as often as we can and exploring new places.
One gem of a hike that we recently discovered has a lake, rolling hills, cows, (yes, COWS!), and, the icing on the cake, a swing on the most climbable tree at the top of the prettiest hill. We were all in love and will definitely be going back. Also, proud parent moment that both boys - well, technically all three boys - walked the whole three miles without having to be carried, or even whining too much about it.
Have you and your family decided to focus on any health oriented goals this year? Less sugar is another one, for us. And getting in all our yearly checkups, which we're so good about with the kiddos, but tend to forget for ourselves. Cheers to a healthy year, my friends!
