April 2018 – Page 2

It’s Spring Break for us this week!  Our days are purposefully wide open and while the weather doesn’t look promising, I hope we’ll be able to spend much of it outdoors.  I also plan to attack my long overdue to-do list and maybe even deep clean my house.  And reading.  Definitely lots of reading too!

  • Habit of the Month: Thoroughness
  • switch car seats around (we need to separate a few frequent squabblers)
  • take out clothes to spring/summer and pack away winter
  • fix the dryer hose
  • start a deep cleaning of the house (find a checklist online!)
  • finalize plans for front walkway and flower beds
  • string lights throughout the back porch (100 LT #61)
  • install curtain rods and hang curtains in the dining room
  • make dentist appointments
  • print photographs off of old hard drive for my December Daily album
  • mail another batch of postcards
  • return to a few half-finished books and finish them
  • research safe sunscreens that actually work
  • bake a loaf of whole wheat bread
  • make a batch of granola
  • learn how to make baguettes (100 LT #50)
  • find a local milk provider

PREVIOUS INTENTIONS

If you’re reading on your phone or in a reader, be sure to click over to see what I checked off the list!

  • speak kindly about myself to myself (why is this so hard?! working on this)
  • send out the first batch of cards for the Springtime Postcard Project (still room to sign up!)
  • take photos for March’s “Our Extraordinary Ordinary Life” (you can see the post here)
  • buy candy and fill eggs
  • make sure the kids have something appropriate to wear for Easter (and me too!)
  • find a type of sushi that I like (anything cooked is good – I still can’t get behind raw fish yet)
  • drink more water
  • make dentist appointments
  • plan out flower beds for the front of the house and research local landscape architects (we had a landscape architect consultation last week, so excited!)
  • find coordinating outdoor pillows for the front rocking chairs and back bench that don’t cost a small fortune (no luck yet!)
  • start the weaning process with P (this isn’t going very well…he’s teething and sick and not really having it)

What about you?  What do you hope to accomplish in the next two weeks?
