Blogger Inspiration
One of the things I love about NaBloPoMo is all the ideas I get from other bloggers. I mean, I read blogs year-round but there’s a wealth of blog posts this month! A few of my recent favorites… Elisabeth just posted about her Year of Rest Notebook. She plans to record the ways in which she’s making 2024 the Year of Rest, and I love the idea. Every year I start off great with a theme, and halfway through the year I can’t even remember what it was. Having a notebook specifically dedicated to my yearly theme (haven’t picked one for 2024 yet!) would help me stay focused. And speaking of yearly themes, SHU shared her word for 2024 and I love it so much. It fits in with my own ideas this month of really paying attention and getting the most from each day. I’m going to have to find something similar for my own 2024 word. And finally, Sarah posted about the incredible holiday bedding sale at Macy’s. Well, you knew I’d be all over that! I scooted right over there and ordered sheets for my daughter’s bed (she already has a Christmas-y blanket) and a comforter set for our bed. I didn’t check with my husband first- I’ll let it be a surprise. Don’t worry- I already have an entire holiday bedding set for my son’s room. I wouldn’t let him be left out! And speaking of my son… This is a shorter post because my son comes home tomorrow! I haven’t seen him since early August and I miss him so much! I’ve spent the evening getting his room ready because, well… you might remember from the big closet cleanout post that storage space is limited in our house, and his room seems to have accumulated quite a bit of stuff over the past few months. I had to do a little work to transform it back into his bedroom again (as opposed to my home gym/gigantic storage closet.) Don’t even ask where all that stuff went… let’s just say my closet isn’t quite as clean as it was on Wednesday (sigh.) Do you pick a theme or word for the year? Have you picked one for 2024 yet?
