As it’s been over 7 months since I posted any kind of update on how I’m doing on my 101 (Goals) in 1001 (Days) list, I figured it was high time I checked in. Of course, as time goes on, most of the “easier” goals have been completed, and many of the goals left are, …
How We’re Getting Started on Our Homestead Dream Now, In the Suburbs
It’s hard to say when my husband and I first started entertaining ourselves with the idea of owning our own homestead out in the country. Perhaps it started with an article I read years ago in the Oprah magazine about a couple who bought up hundreds of acres in a former wasteland and worked tirelessly …
With Hope That the Morning Sickness Will Be Gone {July Goals + June Goals Recap}
Now that the big secret of me being pregnant with our third child is out, the fact that I only set seven goals for June will probably make more sense. And the fact that we only completed half those goals will make even more sense. So it goes. Since I’m now passing the 13-week mark, …

Loving and Learning Lately {15}
Welcome to Round 15 of this little series I started of all the things in life I’m loving and learning lately! Here you’ll find everything from the books I’m currently reading to the products I’m loving to the shows I’m watching (which, spoiler alert–won’t be very many or very exciting, since I’m not a huge …
Gotta Watch That Budget {June Goals + May Goals Recap}
I’ve always been guilty of perhaps usually setting too many goals on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis, but lately, I’ve also been guilty of setting too many goals that require a certain amount of the green stuff to complete…without actually budgeting enough of said green stuff.
