Hello March!!!

Hello fellow fae! How have you been!? I hope life has been treating you well. I know it has been amazing for me. I'm in the process of planning my year.

Life update: ( I wrote this part 2 weeks into the year for "Throw Away January")

LOL! I had another baby!!! The Panda Fam has a little princess now! In my four weeks of experience, it is different caring for a little girl. A lot more work! I'm currently up at 4:40 am; have been up since 2:20 am; working on panda business while feeding her. My payment; her smile and dirty diapers.

Being a mom is the best job ever! The boys adore her. Alexander has always wanted a little sister, so he is pleased as punch. Whenever she makes a sound he jumps. "I got her! I got her!" He is simply amazing! He took similar care of his baby brother. He is more focused on her happiness than he was on his brother. Now Alaric, he could probably care less about her, since he is still a baby himself. He likes to try to take her pacifier...but he does the same thing to my niece. He enjoys giving her kisses. As for us, her parents, God don't give us anything we can't handle.

Inspiring Quote: "Little by little, day by day, what is meant for you will find it's way." I used this quote before in my "Hello October" blog post. I've been living by this quote since I had my daughter.

Word For The Month: care

Book For The Month: Dark Lover by J.R. Ward I've decided to reread all of her books. I'm a little behind when it comes to her more recent books.

Fears to Overcome: finally making steps into my design career

Something New To Try: not worry & stay to myself (I get more done doing both)

I AM BECOMING: understanding for my life as God planned

I AM GRATEFUL FOR: my babies

Learning: branding and graphic design

Finish: business research

Let Go: toys of my oldest son's in the basement

Create: a good schedule to continue to grow

Simplify: my thoughts

Forgive: others' negativity

Goal 1: Relaunch website/ update all pages

Goal 2: Although the focus is on Panda products, MHW is the move

Goal 3: find the time to read and write

I have other goals I'd like to keep to myself for a while. Just know, I'm working my tail off in development. I have a lot of ideas for home improvement projects, craft projects, and life in-style things. I think I'm going to cut the post to be able to experience my new life more.

Lastly:

In my down time of maternity and parental bonding leave I have been able to get a lot of projects and things done that I have been putting off. It felt good to cross some major things off my list!

How are you prepping for 2023?

Love, Light & Peace of Mind!
