Good bye, January!! Who else is glad that January is finally over? It always feels like the longest month of the year.

I’ve been totally battling the January blues all month - and hurting my foot last Friday definitely didn’t help! I did find out that it’s only a sprain and not broken, so that’s a good thing. I’ve been babying it everyday and it’s slowing feeling better.

How do you usually feel this time of year? I find myself mostly daydreaming of the warmer and livelier months ahead. #january #goodbyejanuary #januaryblues

$This is NOT how I planned to start the weekend! I fell down a step and may have fractured my foot! Of course, it’s my bad foot that I’ve already had surgery on. Fingers crossed that it’s not broken! 😩 At least I have my Shirley who hasn’t left my side. 🐶 Hope your weekend is starting better than mine! #ouch #fridayvibes #ugh #dogsofinstagram$

You just can’t beat the feeling you get on that first morning of a vacation! All the anticipation and excitement knowing you have your entire vacation ahead of you. I could totally go for that feeling right about now.
It definitely beats what I am currently doing, which is working on school stuff and taxes! Yuck!
When you visit Disneyland, do you ever take the monorail into the park? Do you prefer it or going through the front gates? #monorail #disneyland #disneyfeeling #vacayfeels #disneymom #disneymagicmoments #disneylandcalifornia #disneylandparkcalifornia #dailydoseofdisney #disneyfamily #missingdisney #disneyvibes

What’s your favorite style of jeans? I have been spring cleaning and purging the last couple of weeks. The first thing I decided to do was to clean out my jean drawer.

I decided to get rid of all my skinny jeans since I never wore them anyway. I just look horrible in skinny jeans, and they are so uncomfortable for me. I don’t know why I kept them so long.

But also while I was cleaning out my drawer, I found all of my low rise jeans from the early 2000s! Now these are my favorite jeans. Low rise jeans have always fit me the best for some reason. I don’t know if it’s because I’m tall with a weird inseam or what, but most other jeans have a tendency to creep down, especially stretchy jeans. What style of jeans fit you best? #lowrisejeans #jeans #springcleaning #closetcleanout

Does anyone else have spring and summer travel on their mind? I could definitely go for some warm, balmy weather right about now!

In between school meetings, life, and normal home chaos, I’ve been trying to stick to my New Year’s resolution about being proactive, and I’ve been planning our spring and summer adventures. Have you started planning? If so where are you headed this year? #familytravels #readytogo #whatwewear #twinningiswinning

I’ve been craving soup, specifically Greek Lemon Rice Soup. Lemon rice soup has always been one of my favorite soups. It’s fairly quick and easy to make, and it’s the perfect comfort food for rainy days like the ones we’ve been having here lately. I have the full recipe at StayingBlonde.com.

It’s the calm between the storms. How’s the weather by you? We’ve had tons of rain here in California. I’m not complaining, I know we need it. It’s actually finally given me the opportunity to break out my rain gear. I don’t get to wear my red rainboots too often. I have my boots, raincoat and a few other rainy day accessories linked on my Like to know page. The link is in my bio. Have a great weekend!

Resolutions. Do you make them? I normally skip them all together. Honestly, mine never really last more than a week or two anyway.

This year though, I do want to want to make a change in the way I’ve been living and making decisions. It seems like for the past couple of years I feel like most of the decisions I’ve made or things that I’ve done have been a reaction to something. This year I want to make a conscious effort to start living and making decisions more proactively. Does that make sense?

I understand that much of our lives are based on reactions. But living mostly reactively has made me feel like I am constantly in survival mode. I want to feel in more control of the direction and trajectory of my life.

I guess that’s my resolution. Proactive instead of reactive. Even though I don’t like making them, I suppose I still have one. Cheers to hoping this one sticks. #newyear #happynewyear #resolutions

The Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose is always so decked out for the holidays. We go and walk through each year to enjoy all the lights and displays.
I particularly liked the “Disneyland” themed house, complete with its own “It’s a Small World”.

If you don’t want to walk you can always drive through or you can book in advance to take one of the pedicabs, cable car, or lights wagon. Do you like to drive and see the lights displays each year where you live? #christmaslights #willowglen #willowglenchristmaslights #sanjosemoms #bayareafamily #bayareafun #bayareamom
