Well, here we are in August already — my oldest starts first grade in two weeks (seriously?!), everyone’s trying to cram all the last-minute summer parties and fun in, and we are positively swimming in flowers from our cut flower farm here at the house. As I type this, market bouquets are all over our …
“Balance” Might Be Impossible to Obtain During This Season {May Goals + April Recap}
While some of my recent implementations — like a weekly must-do list I create each Sunday on my computer — are helping me to not neglect the most important things, my life is still way out of balance right now with the flower farm eating up every spare second I have and then some. I …
Flower Farmers Ain’t Got No Time For Goals! {April Plans + March Goals Recap}
I knew that starting this business of running a flower farm (even on such a small scale as we’re doing it) would require a lot of time and hard work. But you guys—I had NO IDEA how intense it would be during this first part in early spring! I’ve been doing gardens for years, but …
I’m Starting a Business! {March 2021 Goals + February Recap}
You’ll notice that I’m quite a bit late in posting this since I usually publish my monthly goals on the 1st of every month. However, I have an excellent reason—I’m starting a business! Since we were finally able to move to a home this last year that had a bit more land than we had …

A Big Purchase + More House Projects {January 2021 Goals}
I’m late in posting these because our plans had to change a bit this week. We’d originally been told that Matt would no longer be needing to travel up to the old location for work starting in mid-December (and he did, in fact, work the last two weeks of the year from the new location, …
Big Picture Goal: Unpack and Settle In {Dec 2020 Goals + Nov Goals Recap}
This past week has been such a blur…I feel like I’m going to need the entire month of December to recover from the move (except that I don’t have that luxury because we’re currently living in a state of construction/chaos). We originally had thought that the company Matt works for would have moved down to …
Our Goal This Month: To Move and Not Go Crazy {July 2020 Goals + June Goals Recap}
Welp, June was crazy. I didn’t do so well on some of my goals, but that’s to be expected, really—getting a house ready to sell is no walk in the park, especially with three small children underfoot. Honestly, I’m sitting in my kitchen right now typing this up and relishing the fact that there are …
