I like January because it's usually a quiet month. After the busyness of the holidays (which I love) January seems made for resting, dreaming and new beginnings. Not just making New Year's resolutions, although that's usually part of it. Also getting new ideas and having time to plan.

I also have more time to clean and organize things inside the house. After the holidays I like to give everything a good cleaning. We refresh the "odds and ends" we display by swapping around knick knacks in the living and dining rooms. This month we'll be going through our closets, finding things we no longer need and donating clothes and items. Refreshing and re-charging for the busier months ahead.
And we'll plan the 2015 garden. Tomorrow my husband will sign us up for a garden plot at the community garden. We'll be spending time planning what to grow this year. Always a fun and creative way to spend a snowy day indoors!
Wishing you a January of rest, refreshment and a chance to plan for a great year ahead.
