Life Goals: April Edition

For April I have three goals that I would like to complete. I find that writing what I want to accomplish keeps me more accountable to completing a project.

For April I would like to :

1. Plant an herb garden!

The winter in New England has been harsh, bitterly cold and waaay to long. I love the cold, dont get me wrong, but I am done with the Polar Vortex. even though the tempatures are struggling to get above freezing my mind dreams of cleaning up my deck and filling it with lush greens. Since leaving the 9 - 5 world for the stay at home life I have been really into cooking. Sure, I always loved to cook, but this past year my pallet have evolved and so has my appreciation for fresh herbs instead of dry ones. For Christmas I really wanted the Chia Herb Garden. I didn't get it so I have decided that I will take on the challenge of creating a lovely herb garden. I have some ideas floating around and through the help of Pinterest, I am eager for the free of frost to be over so I can get to planting. 

2. Plan Marisol's first birthday!

We have a theme. I have some ideas. It will be fabulous. Shhh, don't tell her since it is a surprise!

3. Make a quilt!

I suppose I should learn how to quilt first then tackle the making of a quilt, but I recently purchased a sewing machine and I am in love with the process. I spend over two hours, all by myself at Jo Ann Fabrics the other day and I enjoyed every moment of it. It was very relaxing cutting out each patternren piece and then the fabric. Measuring is something I will have to work on, but in due time I shall perfect it to the bet of my ability. 

I have a plan. It feels good!

January Life Goals

So last month my goals were: 

1. Make a wreath using salt dough!
2. Make and send out Marisol's Christmas cards. 
3. Make our first family video!
4. Blog at least twice a week!
5. Make stuff for the big opening of the shop!!!

I am so proud of myself that i was able to complete all five goals. Ever since I have broken down the goals to smaller manageable ones I find that I am able to complete them and with my word for the year being "complete" I feel very accomplished and delighted to start a new month and work on some new goals. 

1. Continue creating for the shop. 
2. Take pictures of inventory. 
3. Have a candlelit dinner and a movie at home date with hubby. 
4. Have a lunch date with Marisol. 
5. Commit to working out three times a week!

Looking forward to crossing these off my list next month!

5 Life Goals for December...

A few years back i started to write down five things that i wanted to complete before the end of the month. For me it was nice to experience different things that I always wanted to do and having it in a "list" made me feel compelled to get it down. The lists were random, but they were fun. For example, one of the goals was to attend a Spoken Word. So, I did and it was incredible. It was moving and it was an amazing experience. People were raw and vulnerable. I laughed and I cried as they shared their words with such inspiring passion.

Somewhere along the way, i became too busy to complete the goal or to even make them. So I wanted to start them up again...so here is this months things to do...

1. Make a wreath using salt dough!
2. Make and send out Marisol's Christmas cards. 
3. Make our first family video!
4. Blog at least twice a week!
5. Make stuff for the big opening of the shop!!!

I would love to see your list...please share a link below!
