\"2019<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There’s nothing like posting publicly about what you intend to write<\/a> to keep you accountable. So as we hit the half-way mark of 2019, I thought it would be good to do a blog goals check in on my posting goals. Let’s see how I’ve done on working through my blog goals for 2019 and what you can expect for the second half of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Blog Goals for 2019 to work on:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Our changing diet- How I went from vegetarian to meat eater to <\/em>MSPI <\/em><\/a>(milk and soy protein intolerance) to Paleo to GAPS (gut and psychology syndrome) diet. There have been a lot of changes, but we are finding our groove. <\/em>
<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t talked at all about this yet. It’s on my mind and hopefully I will get to it sooner than later because this is something we are passionate about as a family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a matter of fact, if you look at our posts like our weekends in Harriman State Park<\/a>, or New Paltz<\/a>, you will get recommendations for the type of restaurants that most suit us: those that serve organic, local, whole foods that are healthy for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Wellness practices our family has adopted. And how we adapt them when traveling! <\/em>
<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So far I’ve written about essential oils<\/a>, but that’s about it! Coming shortly I hope…let’s talk about Magnesium and why you should incorporate it into your wellness routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Parenting- thoughtful parenting practices we live by, <\/em>routines that work<\/em><\/a> for us, books we read, activities we did (and recommend), and how we already have kids that love to travel<\/a>!<\/em>
<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In the parenting world, I gave some suggestions for three unique games<\/a> to play with your two to three year old to encourage communication and fine motor skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also wrote about the top ways to bring city kids closer to nature<\/a>, something that is very important to us since moving to New York<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also posted about our Morning Routine<\/a>, looking at our struggles, and methods we use to simplify our morning routine. Hopefully very soon, I will tackle our evening routine, something that is a huge struggle for many parents (including us). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Our 2017 extended family trip to the American Southwest: Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks! And of course, tips and suggestions for visiting with kids!<\/em>
<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I have not yet started these recaps, but look out for them very soon! I’ll cover our route map between these parks, how we ate a paleo \/ GAPS diet while on the road, and suggestions for rest stops and things to do at these national parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing on with the blog goals check in, thankfully there are a few goals I made more progress on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goals in progress and done:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

5. <\/em>New York City<\/em><\/a> destinations- the ultimate tiny trips for us.<\/em><\/p>
<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A few months into the year, I realized that I had sorely neglected<\/a> posting about local activities here in New York City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So from that point on, I implemented “New York Fridays<\/a>” to start to catch up on all the best things to do with kids in New York City, except that then it became spring and we got busy again. Oops! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I have been making slow and steady progress on these posts. So far, we have covered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
