We started our Family Adventure Challenge! I jumped feet first in, since I have a hundred things to do this year with this little family of mine, so I made the first one a good one.

I love goals. I’ll be posting my January goals shortly, but this year I didn’t make a resolution like I normally do. This year I chose just one word to encompass my year and to guide 2016. Light.
