I love going for my monthly facial and mani/pedi. I try to go every 4 to 5 weeks. Making a plan is key I put it on my calendar early, so that it’s harder to let other things get in the way. I know I’m very lucky to be able to do this on aContinue reading “Self Care Day”

Tidying the Kitchen Pantry
Today’s forecast is rain, so it’s a good day to reorganize the kitchen pantry. Despite the fact that the pantry was built along with the rest of the house, by the same company that built the house, the pantry has a very sparse, beginner-DIY look to it. On one half of the pantry, the shelvesContinue reading “Tidying the Kitchen Pantry”
Dealing with the Impending Death of a Friend
Thursday was a very hard day… It was my allotted day of the week to visit my friend in the hospital. My dear friend is dying. I allot myself 1 or 2 days every week to go visit her and schedule it on my calendar because otherwise, it would be much too easy to stayContinue reading “Dealing with the Impending Death of a Friend”
A Lazy Sunday
Today feels like the definition of a lazy summer Sunday. The weather is perfect. Temperatures are in the mid to high 70s, a breeze is blowing and the trees are shading the back yard.

Visiting the Maryland Ice Cream Trail
Jason and I heard about the Md Ice Cream Trail last summer. At the time, we talked about following it but we got busy and never got around to it.

Today’s Main Goal
Today’s main goal is to fold and put away sheets and coverlets …or atleast fold them. It’s another beautiful day and it’s very difficult for me to be inside on a nice day. My heart is just constantly pulling me towards the outdoors and my gardens. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t really allowed to goContinue reading “Today’s Main Goal”
This Tuesday’s Daily Goal
Tuesday, June 14th On Sunday, when I planned out my week, today’s forecast was rain all day. So, I set today’s big goal to be cleaning the house.

Setting Daily Goals
Monday, June 13th I have found that I accomplish much more if I set daily goals for myself. I generally try to go to sleep with the next days goals in my head, otherwise, I tend to be rather aimless and just sort of roam around the house, not being able to decide what toContinue reading “Setting Daily Goals”
