I know it’s basically the middle of April, so I’m a little late on this goal check thing. I’m playing the moving card for automatic forgiveness from y’all.
1. Give handmade gifts.
We had 1 birthday in March, and she got some sweet Melissa & Doug stuff for her kitchen. Not handmade by me but bought with money that was handmade by Nick?? Does that work? I did make her a fabric hair bow because the goal is to add a little handmade even if the entire gift isn’t. I also no-baked up some Easter treats for me the kids in Ramona’s class.
2. Read.
I didn’t. Again. Someone tell me what to read please.
3. Document my life.
I didn’t post on the life side, but we had 2 huge life announcements with the move and the BABY that were posted on the main blog. It was a crossover month I guess. I do need to post an updated picture of how fat I’m getting, but that requires me to fix my hair and makeup. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
4. Monthly Challenge.
Since I didn’t see a point in creating a display in a home that I was packing up, I curated a vignette inspiration for my future reference. Thank God for Katja. She has kept me from completely failing at these monthly challenges. Make sure to check out her March Display roundup.
April is…
Instagram has made capturing life’s moments just a little easier. I was going to use April to make an effort to take 1 picture a day. Something that I want to remember. Sort of in the spirit of those journals that you write a 1 sentence reflection from the day. I already haven’t taken a picture every day, but sometimes you just have to enjoy the moment. Also sometimes the moment is top secret. Yes we will have more to come on that eventually. It’s really only exciting to me, so don’t get your hopes up! Anyway loves, follow us on instagram @WillsCasa to check out my daily photos since you know I’m not blogging regularly enough to let you know what’s going on in my life!
if you have never read what the dead know by laura lippman it is a fave of mine- VERY good read!
Awesome! Thanks Cassie. I will have to check it out!
I’m honestly surprised you did so well with your goals considering everything that is going on. Ten points to you!
So awesome! I am winning at life right now!! Thanks Emma.
I am still SO excited about little baby Wills. YAY! Also, good luck on the house situation. I’m thinking about y’all!
Thanks Kenz! I think the real problem is that we missed the season finale of Walking Dead because of the move. It makes the housing situation just that much worse! 😉
Pregnant AND moving? Yeah, you get a pass on everything! (and the great thing, once you have a baby, you can use THAT as an excuse, too ;))
Oh awesome thanks for that reminder! This is probably my last pregnancy, so I better milk it! 😉
I think you are such a trooper for hanging in there with everything that is going on. I am in complete awe of you. Also, I love that coffee tin display, but that is definitely secondary
You rock!!
I have barely hung in there. Note the lack of blog posts! 😉 Thanks though. I’ll take all the encouragement I can get at this point!
We are reading “Gone Girl” in my book club this month, and while I have not finished it yet, those who have say it’s great! I like it so far
I read Gone Girl last year. I couldn’t put it down, but I also hated it. I had very strong feelings about that book like more than anyone should towards a book. I started reading a book Sunday and fell asleep like 3 pages in. Ha. I’m so bad at starting books.
