After being in pure survival mode for the last two years, I was ready to do more than just survive. I wanted to start making forward progress again. I started by compiling a list of goals for the year. I broke down my goals into 5 categories: body & mind, house, family & photos, media & entertainment, and work. Now that we are a little over halfway through the year, it is time for a mid-year check in. This post contains affiliate link. My Goals for 2022: Mid-Year Check In Body & Mind Gynecologist Check Up & Mammogram - I did both of these in January. Fix My Shoulder - I was diagnosed with frozen … [Read more...]
A Day in the Life… 2022
Every year on January 18th I take one picture every hour from the moment I wake up until I go to bed that night. I end up taking pictures of the ordinary – supper prep, silly kids, trips the library, a cup of coffee, my computer screen. These ordinary pictures are actually quite extraordinary. They are my everyday. They are my here and my now. They are a day in my life. I’ve given myself an amazing gift to be able to look back at a typical day from the past years and see the changes from year to year. The gift of being able to see the extraordinary in my everyday routine because the truth is … [Read more...]
My Goals for 2022

I lean more towards a detailed to-do list rather than big picture, life changing goals. Time for … [Read more...]
Where Have I Been??? (Hoffer Family Update)
I have thought about how to write this blog post at least a dozen times. I'm still not 100% sure what I want to say, but after not posting anything new in this space for 9 months - it is time. After being in this blogging world for 12 years, I have seen many of my favorite bloggers quietly disappear. It always made me a bit sad to be invested in someone's life and then to never hear from them again. I've always sworn to myself that I wouldn't go quietly. If I decided to shut down my blog, I would make an announcement and say a proper goodbye. And I have thought about shutting down this space a lot. Am I Shutting Down My … [Read more...]
A Day in the Life… 2021
Every year on January 18th I take one picture every hour from the moment I wake up until I go to bed that night. I end up taking pictures of the ordinary – supper prep, cranky kids, trips the library, a cup of coffee, my computer screen. These ordinary pictures are actually quite extraordinary. They are my everyday. They are my here and my now. They are a day in my life. I’ve given myself an amazing gift to be able to look back at a typical day from the past years and see the changes from year to year.
