Well March flew by in a flash, I don’t even know where it went to be completely honest. Than all of a sudden it was March 31st and we are celebrating Easter. Now time to recap the month, which I don’t think I did too bad on my to-do list.
- Go through my clothing and get rid of anything I no longer wear, fits or need – i.e. bring to consignment or donate – Work In Progress: I didn’t have time to get this done, but since I have to get my summer stuff out, I’ll do this at the same time!
- Plan out blog posts on a weekly basis – Work In Progress: I would love to say that I had any progress with this, but sadly not. I will work on this for April.
- Organize: 1.
Valeria’s clothing (by age), 2. My clothing (by season/active wear), 3. Get my husband to organize his clothing, 4. The living room and re-arrange – Work In Progress: Well I got another one off the list. I’ll sort my clothing when I get out my summer attire.
- Sell some household items on Facebook Market place – Trying to declutter. ‘I wonder if I could become a minimalist…’ – Work In Progress: Well since I don’t have social media any more, I may need some assistance with posting these. Now to figure out who…hmm
- Complete a few wood burning projects – one is currently in the works and the other is a gift idea – Work In Progress: I had every intention getting this done and they are sitting on my desk. However Valeria can’t be around when I’m working on it.
- THOROUGHLY CLEAN – I need to do a deep clean of our living space. I mean scrub, dust, shine, etc. You name it, I’ll be doing it – Work In Progress: Haha….yeah that’s a big fat no. I had no time sadly, but I’ve opted for the 20 minutes a day method instead. Be one with the chaos and mess…I’ll get to this one eventually. It may be on my list for a while.
Begin my Sourdough starter – YES! I am so excited for this you have no idea – Completed: I did it! And I’ve been baking with it as well. Mostly muffins and a failed attempt at bread, though if you ask my husband he enjoyed it. I think I can do better, so I will! A post about that to come as well! Get back to the gym and keep working on my weight loss and nutrition – Completed: Always a work in progress really, but I’ve gotten back to the gym on a regular schedule with my husband. So this goal is going to change just a little for the future. - Shave my dog…she is a mess! – Work In Progress: This is a bigger task then anticipated when I took a closer look. I need a weekend to do this one in stages…sigh
Visit the English Orthodox church in my city – Completed: This did not go great. The church was small, distracting with the kids running around and the fact that the parking lot was so small, our car got blocked in by other vehicles. We had to wait quite a while before someone came out and moved their car and that was just by pure luck. So no….to the Orthodox church. - Plan/prepare for Valeria’s Baptism – Work In Progress: We are putting this off for a bit. Just until we find a church we like, but she will be baptized.
Go to the Dentist – UGH – Completed: This was awful. My teeth felt nice and clean after, however I hate how they try to force you to book your next appointment and of course, I needed to come in sooner then recommended because I had build up…..yeah because I HATE THE DENTIST! Sorry for the outburst. Get my hair touched up – Damn roots! – Completed: Felt so good to get this touched up, it was even more white/gray then before so it’s FABULOUS! I did however message my hairstylist to see if she could order me some of the purple shampoo she used, the one I have just isn’t doing the trick. Speaking of, I should book my next appointment… Go to the Nutritionist – Completed: Amazing visit and looking forward to posting about that….coming soon! Go to the doctor – I haven’t been since I gave birth – Completed: Appointment went well, I like my new family doctor. Will be having some blood work done, especially to check my sugar since I had gestational diabetes. Also let her know about my knee issue, which she seems to think is a tendon, so ice and ibuprofen. - Try to get better sleep! – Work In Progress: I’m having a bit of insomnia since quitting smoking, so this is still in progress. Valeria’s sleep intervals seems to be longer at night, so yay!
Drink more water – Completed: I’ve definitely increased my water intake significantly after seeing the Nutritionist and my hospital visit (post to come on that one sometime this month) - Keep up on reading my favourite blogs daily – I’ve been struggling with this one. I need to do this right in the morning! – Work In Progress: This one is deeming to be difficult since she is now getting up for 7-7:30, but I will get a rhythm going!
Now to recap Valeria, my precious baby girl! She turned five months in March and has proceeded to increase her mouth raspberries to every chance she can possibly get. She has also started to get up on her hands and knees, rocking back and forth. Apparently she is determined to crawl, which I believe is really early for her to be doing this. She wiggles herself on her belly to her toys now as well. Her six month check-up was moved to the end of April. She has also been trying some actual food; sweet potato puree (LOVES!), plain yogurt (she’s meh about it, I would be too with plain), avocado (not a fan) and she sucked on a piece of bacon (with our very close supervision, and she loved the taste). We will be trying more this month.
What else, our anniversary was celebrated and Easter. One brief hospital visit and that’s about it really.
Until next time!
Ciao!!
