January - CHECK

If you remember, I posted earlier this month about my New Year resolutions and they were trying something new every month and be more organized and staying organized. Well...

I tried new things multiple times this month. Being that I got a new job and I met many new people (whom I love working with), I have been introduced to many new foods. I tried some sort of organic granola with dried strawberries and pieces of chocolate...I hated it! I tried gummy apple slices and dried peaches...hated them both! I tried flavored organic pita crackers...I LOVED THEM!! I loved them so much I tried to find them when I went grocery shopping this weekend...but didn't find them :( Hopefully I can find them @ Target this week!

I also tried a new kind of beer. We went out to dinner on a Sunday afternoon with some good friends and on the restaurants drink menu, they had $2 Mystery Beer. Tate decided to order it (he will try anything at least once). I decided to try it and it actually wasn't bad.

This was the beer

I felt like I tried many new things this month so I hope I can keep this going strong all year!!!

I also organized our office this month. I really want to paint and decorate our office, but I had to organize it before I even started designing what I wanted to do.

Please note before looking at these 'before' pictures is that this room was not only an office for the last couple years, it was also a wedding room, craft room, throw everything in here type of room [don't judge] :)

And now we have an organized office to which I can start putting together ideas of ways to decorate and design it!

Look....a floor

An actual desk that we can use!

Organized inside

And I already have ideas of what I want to do with the room. I can't wait to get that done and showcase that to you all! Here are some ideas so far:

*Our old, sad excuse of a kitchen table will become our new desk as soon as I stain the top and paint the legs. I have also would like to change up the chairs. You can see this table in the pictures below (this is our 4th bedroom on the very bottom level of our home).

*We plan to paint the room a few colors.
*We would like to add fabric window treatments.
*I am undecided whether to paint all the trim and wood white...we will see!
*I would also like to spray paint the file cabinet a color to match everything else.

That is all I can think of now...and I am hoping this won't take too long!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!
