The Chesca List:
9. Put up a cork bulletin board/wall in the office - So this was an utter disaster. I started apply rolled cork to the wall in my office. I had super cut intentions for this wall. I was sticking the cork up with "U Glu" and seam tape for carpeting. It didn't stick. The cork rolled itself off the wall. Which was annoying. I considered hot glue. But I change things and repaint so often that this idea sounded like too much work to remove in the future. So. I compromised the cute-ness. I painted the wall with magnetic paint then with chalk board paint. It's cute. Again, pictures to come someday.
5. Do one Pinterest inspired project per month - Brett and I built a garden box. Pictures someday. We used wood pallets so it was low cost. We have been transplanting our veggies from the burlap buckets to the box and a few of the those veggies will move into the in ground garden. We are finally getting somewhere with our gardening skills.
19. Try a new recipe once a month - I used Isaac's birthday party for this goal. I made Elmo cake pops, using this as inspiration. I also pinned some fruity juice and a cake recipe that was used at the party. Check out the links, all were successful.
21. Read four new books - So. I have finished one book. City of Fallen Angels is the fourth book of the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Since it is in a series and is the fourth book, I felt obligated to read. I had read the past three, which were decent, and I knew there was a fifth book as well. It was slow. And I was disappointed that it ended with such a huge cliff hanger. When I get into a book I pretty much ignore all other responsibilities. This is bad for any family. Mom gone rouge with a book... So, since it was a cliff hanger I felt the need to immediately get the fifth book. Which I am currently reading, spoiler alert: it is slow. I'm not going to explain the book to you because I am still bitter about the waste of time I felt fly out the window. Feel free to click on the like previously provided.
The Bresca List:
24. Have date night once a month - I love date nights. We went to Chipotle for a meal without beans and rice flying every direction. After which we enjoyed dessert with Alec before she left town indefinitely. Easy.
14. Hold FHE regularly - I never clearly defined this goal. It should have said something like. Have FHE, someday. Well, I find it difficult to have FHE as a young married couple. Every night could be FHE, it is always just you two. And then add in a young child. Well, they can't talk and can barley walk. So, we have come to the conclusion that setting aside the time and planning something was a decent start towards a full on FHE. Sometimes we just read extra for our scriptures. Or plan to eat out somewhere. Or plan to have a movie night. Or plan... something. But I think that is the start of some good habits until Isaac is old enough to sit still for a five minute FHE.
18. Keep the garage clean - Does your garage become a catch all? Ours does. I picked it up this month. Still clean.
