1. Read one non-fiction book per month :
OK I am just giving up on this goal, non fiction just isn't inspiring right now. I have been enjoying a channel on You tube CrowsEyeProductions that show's short films on dressing in the past, all the layers and how they were all assembled along with a bit of history. Makes the fiction I do enjoy reading come more alive.
2. Monthly date with the husband :
We did go on some family dates this month with the youngest who is the only one at home, as it was both my birthday and the husband's this month. We did pull off an evening in our room with onion rings and chicken nuggets and watched the new show on Netflix the Umbrella Academy, while the son at home enjoyed Fortnight online with his brother who is 4 hours away at college.
This week it was just some two person games between Aidan and I ,as the husband was on odd work shifts so the games that I know how to play. This week since he is on a regular day shift we hope to fit in some chess lessons with Dad.
4. Try a new recipe each week -
This time I have been baking form this cookbook Baking With Friends I have made the Key Lime Squares, and the Chocolate Chip Muffins. The muffins used sour cream in them and they are the best Chocolate Chip muffins I have made, not to sweet and great with a cup of tea or glass of milk. The Key Lime bars were fast and easy to make I can see making them for a summer potluck or even just a summer dessert, even Aidan who can be very picky liked them. Next up I have two more cookbooks for this week, one using the electric pressure cooker and another that has a few chicken recipes I want to try.
5. Fall Garden- Spring Garden
Well the Cabbage, Broccoli and Bee Balm seeds were planted and have sprouted, today I will be planting the tomato and pepper seeds. The grow lights are working well and are not heating up so I feel okay leaving them on when we are not home. I did have to add some netting to the shelving unit where I have the grow lights as we have a puppy who likes to check everything out.
6. De-clutter-
Still working bit by bit, waiting till spring to get the garage de-clutter going. But did pick up some more boxes for under my bed from Michaels , I got some last year on sale and they fit perfectly. I just was waiting for this years sale in order to have a few more plus side is that they help from anything else getting lost under the bed. I use them to store my tea cups and other decor that I switch out seasonally, and papers that no longer need to be in the file cabinet.
7. Loose some weight-
It wouldn't be a list of goals with out at least one healthy living goal.
8. Learn a new skill -
This has been on past goal lists but this year I will learn to make soap. Still working on it.
9. Reduce trash-
During a break in the snow and cold I was able to get out to the compost bins to check on them and they look good. I do believe that I want to try worm composting this summer but need to do some more research. Thinking of adding a bin to the garage just for glass since we don't have curbside recycling for that and that might help keep it in one spot.
10. A Financial goal-
I am not going to share to much on this publicly but I do have a saving goal.
