Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes it isn’t quite overwhelming, but still whelming. We have had a lot going on in our lives recently, at home and at work, and my routines have shifted or dissolved. I am a big list maker and sometimes just the act of making a list helps me feel more at ease and less stressed about what I need to be doing and what is upcoming. Since this spring has been such a busy season for us, work at home and work in my job sometimes take over time that I might otherwise be able to spend with friends, family or just having me-time. I’m starting fresh with some goals for the week, month and season ahead, to help get me back to some routine and add fun things to my schedule. Let’s see how it goes!
These beautiful peonies are from our local farmers’ market!
Goals for the week:
Post a recipe!
Make and photograph recipes for PTC
Incorporate push-ups or dumbbells into some part of my day
May goals:
Unpack (halleluiah, amen!) – not everything will have a place yet, which is okay, it just needs to be out of the boxes!
Go strawberry picking!
Get into an evening routine, including time for blogging again
Plant our plants in their pots (instead of leaving them to die in the plastic bins they came in)
Make practice cakes as dry runs for a wedding this summer
Get some blog posts ready to go
Get glass or acrylic cups/jars for the bathroom
Take it slow on memorial day
Goals for the end of spring/beginning of summer:
Plant an herb garden
Build raised garden
Make a plan for building a headboard
Make a meal plan for the week and stick to it (we haven’t been good at this during our move and unpacking period)
Try a new dinner or appetizer recipe
Find art I like for the living area
Do something to encourage a friend
Take more walks
Go to the farmers’ market and the flea market
Start reading a new book
Make time for friend dates
Have fun with friends and family at weddings!
