Ok but like your hair looks gorgeous

Yesss! I am so glad you made it back to dance, your passion for it shows and I love the acknowledgment that it brings you joy!! And a broadway class sounds kismet!

**puts October 1st in my planner**

Win: set up July calendar/ schedule

Ooh, I need to add piano to my goals. 😊 My big focus for the rest of the year is swimming and reading. And time with family and friends. Still need to write out Q3 goals and July steps, will do that when granddaughter goes home Wednesday. So far this has been a really good summer. 😍

A few years ago I started adding “Enjoy [Fill in the Blank]” when there was something going on in my life that may slow down progress on my goals. For example, it’s my birthday this month and I’m treating myself to a trip to Japan. On my monthly action steps section I put “Enjoy Japan Vacation!” I get to show “progress” there and it takes away the sting of having no workouts marked in the weekly section. I always include an umbrella yearly goal of “Celebrate This Season of Life” and intentionally set monthly or weekly goals that are just fun and allow me to appreciate the season of life that I’m in now (single, no kids, living overseas, and financially stable).

Girl! I am the SAME with cooking and googling. Glad I'm not alone!

1 of my annual goals was to go camping. And I just got home from camping 2 days ago. Goal completed, even though I'll go camping again.

A mindset shift that has helped me with cleaning is recognizing that it is a cycle not a project. You will never be done cleaning. There is no start and end like a project. It is something that is a constant cycle. The goal of having a clean house doesn’t work because it can only be clean for a moment not permanently!

Piano sounds a lot like the dancing you mentioned in the other video. I’m looking forward to seeing you accomplish them all (including the one for Oct 1) which you will because you are determined. 🍀

I totally get routines! As a flight attendant, my job functions around multiple types of routines- personal and professional. But all of them are anchored by cues, and for me, that's what makes the difference between making me feel restricted versus empowered.

You’re awesome! Great goals, and I love that you decided that consistency > amount 👍Overall, I set way too many goals and I did not even scratch on what I wanted to achieve in neither of the areas. My biggest challenge is as I live in my car and my family lives in opposite directions in this part of Germany (Bavaria), I lose way too many hours on the road. I improved in all areas though and maybe setting too big goals works for me as I can’t lose my goals out of sight as they are really big enough no matter how big the obstacles are.

I feel like I've talked about this to death in the lives haha, but my biggest goal/progress for this quarter was definitely getting pregnant and making it through this first trimester lol. Baby didn't line up with the quarters for me quite as well as it did for you (I still have three more weeks left of the first trimester), but my sickness/fatigue has already subsided a bit, and as of ultrasound Friday, baby is completely healthy with a strong heartbeat, so I'm so thankful for that! I'm hoping I can start to reincorporate my routines this month now that I'm starting to feel a bit better, but other than that, I think I'm going to be keeping it pretty minimal again this month. 😅

1. How did I miss this video lol 2. Well great, now I need 2 pouches because its perfect for makeup brushes. 3. I still love the clear cup and so glad you made it! I use it almost every morning for my coffee.

Went to my first Go Wild. And also read 25 books!

Real feel was 109 in NC this past week…pretty sure I saw Satan sitting in the shade 🥵

I used to have the same issue with my rings and its becuase i lost weight and the rings were rubbing. It could be that your hand did swell during pregnancy and now they are slipping more. Its almost unnoticable except for the rash. I did get my rings resized when i got to my target, and i dont have any issues as ive put weight back on.

@lisa-marie custard, I’m a bank branch manager over 20+ years in the industry. My biggest suggestion would to divide your spending into 2 categories “needs” and “wants”. You need to pay your housing but you don’t need Hulu streaming. If you have enough for your needs which to me is survival. Wants is everything else. Really think about what you are spending. Also know what tools work for you. Does cash burn a hole in your pocket? Then maybe not carry cash. I hope that helps.

What about a Spring 2025 meet up?

I get irritated under my rings sometimes in the summer. I think it is from sweat and water from washing my hands. I move my rings on my finger to make sure the area is fully dry.

One thing is: Set up my July calendar/ schedule and declutter as I put bedroom 1 back together.

#replay Win: Cleaned out entire bedroom 1 so we can paint it .

I did the same thing with Maggie Smith! I was so confused! 😂

I love this video!!! I love the way you break things down and then break it down further! These lists and then even more detailed lists and the boxes you make with the days to get some things done you have set up, plus coming along side it with a running to do list is genius 😮😅!!!!! Thanks Laken for these life saving “Daily PWM” you completed on camera. Can you please continue to do this for at least a week or even two weeks to a month? I will follow you and plug in my needs to fit & work for my life! I am so grateful for your patience and processing on camera, Arlene 😊

Loved the vlog-style favorites!

Embracing a cleaning rhythm as opposed to a cleaning schedule has been very helpful for me. I have one non negotiable which is I go to bed w a clean kitchen almost every night. Otherwise - we do what needs to be done as we see it/have time. I wish I had started that tidying habit at my first child but it definitely helps now. Also, my husband works from home some and is good about doing chores, but he will never be the guy who cleans the floor every Tuesday and the bathroom every Friday etc 😂. It is a far more balanced and therefore manageable load for both of us if we have a rhythm of a reasonable clean and tidy house without a strict schedule. And I have a 10, 8 and 6 year old so reasonable is key.

My win is I got q3 and July planned. Bonus win was a haircut today (it's why I missed). Goal for this week is finish a book

Thank you, that was great 👍Have a great trip tomorrow 🌷

That charger looks so good! I love your favorites videos!!!

I just got rid of my shower organizer like that. So hard to clean around and gets gross fast. I replaced it several times and finally was like this is making my life harder.

We usually eat dinner between 530-630pm because of my 8-5 job, but sometimes earlier or later depending on the day! I always take my rings off to sleep!

I would get that ring irritation too. It was from not getting every bit of hand soap and water out from underneath. When I had kids I washed my hands so much more and it got very irritated. I don’t sleep in jewelry. I’ve been known to eat dinner at 4pm so I can go to bed at 7. I’m a morning person!

Re: your ring finger question...might also be a developing nickle sensitivity. I can't tell what metal your wedding set is but nickle is typically part of the white gold amalgam. We can develop and "outgrow" allergies throughout our lives and folks often develop new sensitivities with or after pregnancy. Hopefully, it's just contact dermatitis from trapped soap residue and others' suggestions will resolve it.

I love listening to audiobooks while reading along with a physical copy. I try to do this every book I read though that doesn't always work out. Currently I've been doing this with the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb 😊

I did physical/audio for the second half of Iron Flame and loved doing it that way!

Did I miss what the influence failure was? ❤❤❤

Oh my goodness Lyla is getting so big!!

For the ring irritation, it is caused by water and soup getting trapped between your ring and skin. Try taking your rings off to dry your hand prior to going to bed. It helped mine a lot.

Your ring sounds like contact dermatitis. This happens to me if my ring isn’t clean enough or if something gets under my ring-even soap from washing my hands. I don’t sleep in my rings anymore.

Handsoap or lotion interaction with rings or getting stuck under rings and irritating skin.

I like your weekend recaps on Instagram. I'm glad you continue posting them. ❤

I cannot sleep in my rings.

The ring thing! That started with my finger after I had my first daughter and now I can't wear my rings at all because I'm allergic to them! Also with having the baby you might be washing your hands a lot more so make sure your fingers are getting dry because the extra moisture can cause irritation too. Hopefully it's just a fluke!

Several friends of mine have those portable high chairs and they work great

I think I will try to create an A.M. routine. I believe that will help me accomplish more a day. Thanks

I’m really thinking, Jan and Feb. (trial run of Annual goals, lol) then March (Birthday is in March which brings new inspiration) April, May, then June, July, August then Sept, Oct, Nov. Dec will be all about Planninv for upcoming year (annual goals)

Not goal related, but what podcast do you listen to about House of the Dragons?

❤

Great discussion! Would love a video on how different people divide their year! Angie Bellemare has a video 12 ways to embrace each season, where is discusses how she divides her year/months.

Do you think you’ll still do December Daily in December?
