My Last 90 Days - Heading into 2020

As we approach the end of 2019, it is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Halloween is a mere 29 days away, which is when things start getting crazy. I don't know about you, but I don't want to lose the progress I have made in 2019 or lose the momentum I have working toward my goals.

The Last 90 Day movement is about ending the year intentionally instead of getting swept up in the holiday craziness.

I have an insane last 90 days planned.

1. Girls Weekend with Erin
2. Girls Weekend with Tiffany
3. Weekend Getaway with Chris
4. Thanksgiving (maybe up to 15 people)
5. Remodeling my MIL's Kitchen
6. New Furniture for my MIL's Family Room
7. New Carpet for my MIL's House
8. New Light Fixtures for my MIL's House
9. Christmas
10. Weekend Getaway with my Mom

In addition to those things, I have my goals I need to accomplish.

1. Crochet a blanket
2. Make Aprons
3. A lot of sales
4. Catch up on photo books
5. Read a lot of books
6. Get an area rug for the living room
7. Paint the bedroom
8. Remain Gluten/Dairy/Sugar Free as much as possible.

Give me a moment to breathe into a paper bag...please.

I'm going to need all the coffee on the planet.

The stuff at my MIL's house was sort of planned, but in order to host Thanksgiving for 15, she is demanding new carpet and furniture BEFORE THANKSGIVING. Also, the kitchen needs to be done by Thanksgiving so I can serve dinner there. In addition to that, I would also like to clean out her garage and Chris's bedroom and overhaul her filing system all while sticking to my health and life initiatives. I need a raise.

Ok, I need to go make a comprehensive life plan and rethink my life decisions. ;)

How are you feeling about your last 90 days of 2019? Optimistic? Overwhelmed? Ready to Crush it? Looking for some wine to drown away your worries?

Let me know!

Motivational Tuesday: Everything to Everyone

"It's not your job to be everything to everyone." - Anonymous

Wow. Every time I read that passage, it hits me hard. As a SAHW, I make it my mission to be all things to all people. Great wife, great friend, great daughter, great daughter-in-law, great niece, great customer, great neighbor, great dogmom.

And sometimes, I have nothing left to give. There are some days that I just hit a wall and feel like brushing my teeth is going to be this monumental task.

I'm sure I'm not alone...right? It's the conundrum of our generation...be Wonder Woman! Be a great employee, go home, make a nice homecooked dinner, throw a Pinterest worthy birthday party, have an Instagrammable book club meeting, send out the perfect cards, have the perfectly decorated home...it's impossible right?

As my happiness guru, Gretchen Rubin, says "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." Sometimes, good enough is enough.

And it is completely ok to take care of yourself...in fact, it is a necessity, because you can't keep nourishing those around you when your well has run dry.

So today, I challenge you to take 20 minutes...just 20 minutes...and do something that feels luxurious. Get a hot coffee and sit in the sun while you drink it. Read a book. Light a candle and moisturize with something that smells decadent. Anything that makes you feel well taken care of.

Tag me on Instagram with what you did to take care of yourself today! @adventureswithjennie
