Goals You Can't Fail in 2023
New Year, New Goals!
We're busy mamas over here, so making a HUGE list of resolutions just doesn't work for us.
Instead we make four very simple, very attainable goals for 2023.
We're setting one physical goal, one emotional goal, one social goal and one spiritual goal for the year. Things like staying consistent with exercise, more beignets (jk, but iykyk), and being of good cheer.
We're also leaving behind that mom guilt, extra clutter, and the weight of others opinions in 2022. Good riddance!
Let us know what goals you're setting this year on instagram! @minivanmamas
