5 Intentions for November 2026

Chapter 11 of 12 has arrived and along with it National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo). 30 blog posts in 30 days and I’m looking forward to taking part again. Thank you to San for hosting this again!

My intentions for this month are as follows:

1.) Participate in NaBloPoMo and post every day for the month, reply to comments timeously and comment on fellow blogger’s posts.

2.) Hold onto the post holiday vibe I’ve got going after 2 weeks on leave. 14 days away from my laptop was amazing. Tomorrow is back to work and I’m determined to not let the flood of e-mails and playing catch up take away my post vacay mood.

3.) Get on top of some personal admin. I’m great at sorting out admin for clients and my bosses but when it comes to my own, I’ve been putting it off.

4.) Clean out and organise our garage. This is a task that Mark and I have been talking about for ages and November we plan to get started. I’m thinking of adding shelving and storage to tidy things up but we need to do a massive clear out of everything from old paint to clutter that we’ve forgotten about.

5.) Ease into the festive season at my own pace. To be honest I haven’t felt excited about any of the decor at the shops that have been out for ages already. Seeing influencers posting about Christmas decor at events they attended felt OTT and watching the reels, stories and posts left me feeling a bit meh - so much of it felt excessive.

Maybe I’m just tired - 2026 has taken its toll to put it mildly but I feel like I need to ease into a slow and relaxing Christmas season. Remembering the real reason we celebrate. Soaking up quiet moments and decorating our tree with old (but special) decorations we’ve had for years.

What about you? Are you taking part in NaBloPoMo? Do you have any intentions or goals for this month?
