January few things

Few things that have been trying desperately to get out of my brain and into a blog post;

1. Making a Murderer. Dinner table conversation from now until the end of time. Tell me your thoughts.

2. The January feels are strong.

Every January I am blessed with these feelings of new beginnings and urges for organisation and decluttering and new stationary and a better tan.

I want to be a better person, live in a cleaner, more organised home, I want to smash savings goals and business goals in one fell swoop.

Some things I have decided in this January brainstorm:

• No more Carlile Design Co. It may be enjoyable but it's not an efficient use of my time. I'm sad about it, promise. I will be doing things for family and friends cause I am still so passionate about it but I won't be starting up a business any time soon.
• Coast trip every three weeks to reboot, surf, relax, inhale salty air etc. 
• Schedules for everything! Daily routines, weekly activities, meals, date nights, the whole dang year is on my wall and we are sticking to it for the sake of our sanity. Rules and boundaries and limits and things that you take for granted when you're at school/work outside the home.
• Declutter! Throw out all the shit! Throw out all the things I hoard for the future, those clothes I hate, those old towels we don't use! I am making lovely progress here. 
• I'm going to be the business woman I know I can be.

I could go on but I will spare you. Basically, this year is going to be huge and busy and chaotic like most other years but I want to stick to two things; 

One - Live simply

Two - This quote I found in one of my summer reads "the secret to a good life is to bring your A game to everything you do. Even is all you're doing is taking out garbage, you do that with excellence.'

3. I have those blog feels again and I might even have some time for it now that I am not taking on more design work. I want to blog our CF life, our regular life, our adventures in baby making (not what you're thinking, get your mind out of the gutter) and all of the thoughts that are taking up too much room in my mind. 

4. There is a fucking rooster next door. I'm not kidding. And what do I do? I don't want to be that person who complains to council and I'm not one for strangling roosters or even setting them free! Maybe I should drop Muggsy over the fence? Rooster would probably win. I'm waiting for someone else to complain but it seems my other neighbours are either deaf or share my position. I suppose I could kindly ask the neighbour what they are doing with a rooster anyhow...

5. January holiday snaps.
