2019 word of the year

Like most great ideas, I came across this one on Instagram. I've never been big on New Year Resolutions. Mainly because I am someone who can try something a few times, feel fulfilled and move on to the next. I have a hard time committing to things over and over again, hence the long gaps between blogs, sorry, I'm trying to be better. Whatever it is, resolutions are not a big part of our New Year. Most of the time, we create a wishlist, a bucketlist so to say. The plans and dreams we see in the New Year. This year, we did that too, but I also wanted to share with our family what a fresh start means, a New Year, new things, new adventures, etc. That's when I saw others come up with a word. One single word to define what this New Year was going to mean to them. It took me a while to think of one, but once it came to me and I suggested it to Travis, we both agreed it was perfect, and simple, GROW. 

This word comes to us in many forms. We want to GROW into a family of 6. Creating a family environment where we can each become who we were meant to be, growing together and making adjustments as needed to become a cohesive NEW family of 6. We want to GROW our business. We talked to the boys about the business and made it clear that this was a family business and it would take each of us, doing our part, to help ensure its success. We want to GROW in our faith, which is something new to our family dynamic and maybe something I'll make Travis blog on one day. We want to GROW our list of adventures, National Parks visited and places traveled. We want to GROW a garden again. In our last home, we had loved the garden we grew, check it out at TheGardenboxProject. There are so many area of life we can all GROW in, this word just seemed to hit the nail on the head.

We cannot wait to see how the seeds we have planted grow this year. 
How do you plan to grow? Do you have a family word this year? I'd love to hear it! Share it in the comments below!
