It’s the holiday season.
Christmas 2020

Merry Christmas, y’all! Like in many families around the world, Christmas looked a little different this year. Usually, I’m getting anxiety about spending the day at my grandmas house around a lot of people but this year, we decided to play it safe and stay distant. I am loving social distancing! I no longer say “yes” to hanging out with people I would rather text, I don’t feel pressured to have unnecessary conversations with people standing in line at stores & I don’t have to worry about someone standing too close to me! This is a dream come true for us introverts!

However, I will say that opening presents virtually was a bit of a bummer but it was well worth not risking family during a pandemic.

In other news…

I have been toying with the idea of adding a weight loss page where my husband and I can post for accountability. At one point of my life, I was obsessed with staying fit and lived at the gym. It was a mixture of my bad job, Covid and pure laziness that I have gained weight but I, we, are over it. It’s a new year coming up & I typically have great luck losing weight during odd years. It’s crazy, I know, but trust me. Lol

Lastly…

I decided that going forward, I’m going to try to stay off Facebook. It was fun while it lasted but I became so overwhelmed with scrolling that I was abandoning my family. I was basically addicted to knowing other people’s business. 🤣🤣🤣 It’s a sad reality but the first step is admitting you have a problem, am I right?! Hopefully, this new change, as well as the weight loss addition, will help me get closer to my family. ❤️

I lied, this is the last point…

Church. I want to start getting back in church. There was a time where my husband and I would go all the time. We were much happier with life’s outcomes then. I miss worship, I miss reading the word, I miss the music and I miss the fellowship. I want to incorporate God back into my marriage. It’s crazy that when my husband and I first met, God was the foundation to our relationship. Now, it seems like he’s more of a potted plant that we water from time to time. I want to change that. I want to get closer to him, I want us closer to him.

Next week I plan on writing out my 2021 goals. I’m going to get my family involved this time. Over the last few years, my goals were as follows: 2017 was the year of No 🤷🏾‍♀️ , 2018 was the year of improvement 🤩, 2019 was the year of health and wellness 💪🏾 , 2020 is the year of learning and moving forward 😷 & 2021 will be the year of family ❤️. I also plan on blogging more because it helps my mental health to get it out there.

Anyhoo, sims 4 is calling my name so stay healthy, wealthy & wise.

I’m Elle!

Hi there! I’m a married woman and mom of three, doing my best to juggle family life, a good book, and the daily task of keeping my anxiety in check. I’ve always loved writing, and I’m so excited that you’ve stumbled into my little corner of Beyoncé’s internet. This space is where I share my thoughts, stories, and the small things that bring me joy. I hope you’ll get comfy, stay awhile, and maybe even find something here that speaks to you. 💛
