After having a slow, (mostly) restful last week of the year, we’re ready to hit the ground running in the new year! We have a ton of stuff that needs to happen this month — largely with the flower farm — which I’m actually pretty excited about because I think that keeping busy will help …
When I first sat down to make these financial goals for my current 101 in 1001 list, I thought of them as being “stretch” goals–I figured that they’d be “do-able” in the 2.75 year span, but I also thought they’d be a real challenge. Imagine my surprise, then, upon finding that we were able to …

I said in last month’s goals round-up that August would be the month where we were drowning in flowers, and . . . I was right.
