Three Tips for a Successful New Year

The new year brims with possibility and we can’t help but feel excited at all the wonderful surprises 2016 may bring!

New years bring change: a fresh outlook on life, new inspiration for living, and countless New Year’s resolutions. Sometimes, though, in the excitement of the new year, we may overlook the hard work and time that our goals require.

This year, stay on track with your goals with these three tips that will help you create a successful year for you and your family.

1- Stay Organized

One of the best ways to achieve your New Year resolutions is to stay focused on your goals. But how does one stay focused? You plan.

That’s where we would love to help you! This unique Framed Chalkboard and Framed Cork Board is designed to help you keep track of your busy schedule and remain organized with your goals.

Another way to stay organized this new year is to set aside a place to contain the mess. Our Amish craftsmen built this handcrafted Blanket Chest both functional and beautiful.

It features raised panels on three sides and has a safety hinge on the top. Your home will still look classy and organized when you store your blankets or even your children’s toys inside.

2- Create a Gathering Place

Creating a place where your family and friends can gather to relax and refresh from a long day is important for both you and your home.

Amish Insight: The Amish value family very much so it’s not surprising to learn many families eat suppers together every night. Gathering at the table to converse about one’s day over a steaming home-cooked meal is not only refreshing but it’s also fun!

By carving out a place in your home, like your dinning room and kitchen, you can encourage family time and foster conversation. Our Cambridge Solid Top Table dining room set is casual and comfortable, yet stylish enough for the modern home.

Craft a place that is as beautiful as it is comfortable, a place where everyone feels welcome.

3- Have Fun!

This advice may seem a little trite but it stills rings true for 2016: don’t take life too seriously!

Yes, working hard is important — that’s how your chalkboard will help you with — but maintaining a well-balanced schedule is good for your health, your relationships, your career, and even your New Year goals.

Winter can seem dull and dreary for the nature lover but with a Bird House, you can spend a little more time enjoying the weather inside, while watching the birds play outside. Treat your neighborhood’s birds to a home of their own!

Or maybe just the thought of spring warms your heart. With this handcrafted Rollback Swing, you’re not only investing in your future relaxation but you’re also preparing for some quality sunshine time, come spring!

Perhaps, your life needs just a little more sugar in it! With this Candy Dispenser, you can welcome back the child in you and indulge your sweet tooth!

Embrace the possibility of the new year the old-fashioned, Lancaster county way: working hard by staying organized, creating a gathering place for your loved ones, and having plenty of fun!

May you start your new year with heart full of possibility!
