Day: June 2, 2025

Let’s take a look at my list of goals and recap!

1. Work on my health – both physical and mental
   • Well the physical is something I’ve definitely been working on. I have been walking and getting at least 10,000 steps a day (usually more on a really good day), but I am making a conscious effort on that front. Mental…well it’s a work in progress.
2. Follow-up with the doctors regarding my genetic testing results
   • Did this as well and the doctor finally got back to me. All tests came back normal with no abnormalities or genetic issues to be found. Also, went over pathology for the baby.
3. Pick-up and put together Valeria’s new bed
   • Well we definitely picked up the bed and put it together, but I will give a further update in a separate post. But yup, this was completed!
4. Buy a cute twin bed set for Valeria
   • Well, I did buy an adorable twin set for her bedroom, however I had to turn around and buy a full size bed set instead. That will come with the bed update.
5. Decorate Valeria’s room
   • Completed this one as well! Her adorable stickers are on the wall and she is obsessed!
6. Print some photos for the house and for relatives
   • Nope….I didn’t have the time, but it will still be on my to-do’s.
7. Organize the basement
   • Nope, but I at least put my desk together and set up my desktop computer. Little steps!
8. Continue to donate and get rid of items
   • Already started another pile, I will gladly be adding more to it over time this month as well.
9. Get some herbs for the porch and an Aloe plant for the house
   • I would have loved to do this, but the weather has been too cold for us to even have potted plants outside. On hold for now, so hopefully the weather is actually heating up….fingers crossed!
10. Learn to make “Starbucks” style cold brew coffee at home
    • Did this too….in my own kind of way! I bought a wonderful cold brew coffee maker off Amazon. 12 hours in the fridge and then I have cold brew coffee. See below! It’s wonderful if you like cold brew coffee. I’ll do a little post with my coffee recipe…nothing fancy to be fair.
11. Go for two walks a day
    • This has been hit or miss with the cold and rain, but I did try to accomplish this whenever I could. Will be continuing this though, really helps.
12. Start an at-home full body weight training routine
    • I have made a workout plan and try to do this at least 1-2 times a week, but I’ve been focusing more on walking and eating healthy.
13. Get my nails done
    • Yes! I did this wonderful electric blue that just popped!
14. Create a cleaning schedule
    • Yup, did this one too and even included laundry days in the mix.
15. Learn to use a Cricut
    • Not yet, but I need to. Something I really have to look into further.
16. Write more
    • Not as much as I would have liked, but still striving to write more each month.
17. Create a new wreath for spring
    • Not yet, but it’s on my to-do still. I need to pick up some specific florals.
18. Try some new recipes
    • Yes, but didn’t like any of them. I preferred when I made things up this month. Every recipe I tried just seemed to fall flat and was pretty disappointed.

So a few things will go on my June to-do’s, but that’s okay. Hopefully June will be a shorter list and with better weather!

I hope you have a wonderful day or night wherever you are in the world!

Ciao!!
