The fifth month of 2021 has arrived! the halfway point of the year is looming and yet we have so much left as well in order to work on ourselves and our goals. Setting goals has become a monthly task for me over the last few years. Setting a list of goals each month, ones that will help me work today’s bigger goals and those that help me have fun, truly make my months productive and better. Each month allows me to assess how well I did in the previous month and adjust my goals as needed. Before we get to my June 2021 goals,Read More →

The fifth month of 2021 has arrived. We are so close to being halfway through the year already. April seemed to come and go in the blink of an eye. Some months are like that, while others drag on for an eternity. Regardless of how fast or slow a month goes, it gives us the opportunity to work on various tasks and objectives. Every month, I take some time to reassess my goals, determine what is and isn’t working, and make adjustments for the current month. Before we get into my May 2021 goals, let’s take a moment to look back over my April goalsRead More →

Another new month has arrived. Can you believe we are already in the fourth month of 2021? This year seems to be going by quite quickly. In a way, this is good, because it means the days, weeks, and months aren’t dragging on endlessly. As each new month arrives, it creates an opportunity to work on my long-term and short-term goals. Setting goals each month truly helps me work towards what I want to get accomplished while giving me the accountability to keep up with them. Every month I reassess my goals, determine what is and isn’t working, and go from there. Before we getRead More →

Subscription boxes are a great way to explore different items that may not be readily available to you in stores. Food subscription boxes are my favorite, and realistically the only subscription boxes I have tried so far. Who wouldn’t want to receive a box filled with edible goodies from another country? I have tried a number of them in the past couple of years, namely ones from Japan. After giving Japan Crate a try, I really wanted to try the Umai Crate. This month I decided to splurge on the March 2021 Umai Crate to see what kind of noodles I could get – asRead More →

The third month of 2021 has arrived! I don’t know about you, but I found that February flew by. One day it was the beginning of the month and the next it was already over. As with every new month that comes along, it’s time to assess my goals, make new ones, and adjust the others based upon my performance and what else I have going on for the current month. Before we get into my March 2021 goals, let’s take a moment to look back at how I did with my February goals. February goals review Despite being a quick month, I found thatRead More →

It is commonly said that in order to be productive you need a morning routine. While I don’t deny that’s true, it’s easier for some than others. For morning people, a routine comes easily and quite naturally. However, for those of us who are not morning people, it can be a struggle to shift to this thinking of being productive right after waking. Like many aspects of life, these routines are not a one-size-fits-all scenario. There is no rule that says you must wake up at 4 am to have a successful day – though many people will be adamant that’s the only way toRead More →

The idea of a bucket list has been around for a long time. I have seen many people talk about their bucket lists. Some are short and very specific and others have huge lists that seem impossible to do in a lifetime – at least in my opinion. To be perfectly honest, I never really gave bucket lists much thought. Then 2020 and the pandemic hit. I think we all realized how quickly life can change and how things we used to take for granted were suddenly impossible to do. This got me thinking about the things I really want to do and experience inRead More →

It’s a new month and a new year! That means it’s another opportunity to set and achieve our goals. As we all let out a collective breath now that 2020 is over, it’s time to ramp up for another year. Many people may be setting resolutions but I am more of a goal person. I find goals are more manageable and realistic than resolution. In fact, you could turn your resolutions into goals to ensure you actually work towards them. I have been setting monthly goals for a few years now and it has been extremely beneficial. By sharing these goals here, I find myselfRead More →

As the cold Northern winds blow ushering in the winter months, it’s important to make sure you have what is needed to get through this cold time of the year. Having lived in Northern Ontario for more than a dozen years, I have several winter essentials. Some items help me combat the cold when I need to leave the house, while others are simply to keep cabin fever at bay. Ensuring that I have these and other items is an important part of getting ready for winter. This post may contain affiliate links.

The final month of 2020 has arrived. It’s hard to believe that the year is so close to being over and soon we will be ushering in 2021. This is the last opportunity to get everything done you want to accomplish during 2020. Whether it’s a big or small goal, do your best to work on it. There are a couple of things that I am going to be working on as a part of my December 2020 goals. Part of them are finishing up goals that have been spread out throughout this year and others are last-minute additions I would like to get done.Read More →
