HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ I kn HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣

I know a lot of people who don’t like making New Year’s resolutions for all different reasons (and I agree with many of them!) but for me, I LOVE them. I look forward to them every year, and I love looking back on the ones I made to see why they didn’t stick and how I can stick to any new ones that I make (or roll over last year’s into this year’s list.) I love the reflection! 😍

making New Year’s resolutions forces me to sit down at the start of the year and take a moment to imagine m the year ahead. to think about how I can improve as a person and start off intentionally. 

these are the resolutions, and I’ll be flushing out plans for each one so I map out the steps it will take to make these resolutions into habits. 🙏🏼

my new year’s resolutions 👇🏼

- start journaling 📓
- wake up 30 minutes before the kids for journaling & me time ⭐️
- 80/20 weights to cardio 
- lift heavy weights 🏋🏻‍♀️
- simplify and automate wellness routines so I’ll stick to them better this year 💆🏻‍♀️
- play tennis 🎾
- eat more protein (maybe introduce 🥩?)
- focus on sleep. 😴 new early bedtime: by 9:30pm 
- read more self improvement books. 
- less drinking 🍷 date nights without cocktails 
- take the kids on solo dates each month🍦
- less phone time around the kids 📱

Id love to hear what yours are - or if you make resolutions or not!! drop a comment on my first post of 2024! 🎈🥂
wishing everyone a belated merry christmas! 🎄 w wishing everyone a belated merry christmas! 🎄 we’ve been here at my parents’ home visiting family for the holidays and taking some much needed time off 🥰 

one of the things I’ve been reflecting about when I think about this past year is how happy I am that I’ve kept my kids’ faces private on this platform. it feels like I could finally release a subconscious worry or stress. and it’s done more than just protect my children, it has made me a much more present mother. 

I made the decision because I just started to feel like something wasn’t right with it. it was a total gut decision, but I did have a scare shortly after the twins were born where an Indian newspaper Photoshopped a photo of me with the twins in our hospital bed, claiming my babies were some Indian superstar’s. 😒 it creeped me out but I was in the newborn haze and didn’t have time to process. but it’s certainly part of that final decision about protecting my kids. 

and there may be a moment here or there when I feel like it’s appropriate or okay to share their faces, but for now, I’m happy with how I’m sharing our family. 🙏🏼

it’s probably the best decision I made in 2023. that and putting an offer on our house!! 👏🏼🏡
let’s rethink our cheese & cracker spreads this let’s rethink our cheese & cracker spreads this holiday season! ⁣🎄🎁🥂
⁣
just a friendly reminder that you don’t need to drag out that heavy marble or wooden board this holiday season for your cheese & cracker spreads! ⁣🧀
⁣
one of my favorite ways to simplify entertaining season is by laying out a piece of parchment paper and throwing the cheese, crackers, fruit, and any other items right down on top - I like to use little ceramic bowls to display the fruit and olives, but you could place those directly down on the parchment paper too, to make cleanup a total breeze! ⁣👏🏼
⁣
seriously, I dread lugging out my marble cheese boards and cleaning them in the sink! the parchment paper is effortless and looks cool too! ⁣😎
⁣
which one would you choose? PARCHMENT PAPER or A BOARD? 🙏🏼
BRUSSELS SPROUTS season!! ❄️ am I the only one BRUSSELS SPROUTS season!! ❄️ am I the only one who goes hard on the Brussels sprouts obsession from November to March and then can not look at another one for the next 6 months? ⁣🫣
⁣
well, these Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Chickpeas are on the weekly rotation now and there are so many ways you can enjoy them: ⁣
✔️in a farro grain bowl with some goat cheese and toasted slivered almonds⁣
✔️ in a bowl with a fried egg and some thinly sliced massaged kale ⁣
✔️as a side to a protein like some rosemary roasted chicken or a juicy pork chop⁣
✔️topped with maple roasted tofu and an herbed tahini sauce! ⁣
✔️just as is - as a snack! ⁣
⁣
SAVE this recipe and tag a friend who would love this idea! 📌🧷
another last minute EASY idea for tomorrow! 🦃🍂 if you’re suddenly tasked with bringing a side dish to Thanksgiving, why not try this ROASTED BROCCOLI with POMEGRANATES and WALNUTS. 🥦 it’s festive for the Christmas or Thanksgiving table AND it’s a wintery presentation for broccoli all season long. 👏🏼

grab the recipe on the blog! and SAVE this recipe to make for many occasions!
