March Goals

Before I get into my goals for March, let's recap how I did with February's:

1. Lose 3 pounds. Well, I got the 3 pounds right, but instead of losing 3, I gained 3 (well, 2.8). But I've already re-lost 2.6 of that since Monday. I had fallen of the Intermittent Fasting wagon as of late as well as just any weight loss effort at all, but I finally got back on track this week.

2. Finish books #2 and #3 and read #4. Did this.

3. More exercise. I think I did a little more than usual, but still not as much as I'd like.

4. Purge and organize two more areas. I kind of forgot this was a goal for the month. I knew it was on my running project list, but forgot I had made this goal for February.

5. Get our new mirrors and curtains hung in the living and dining rooms. We got the living room curtains hung, but not the mirrors or the dining room curtains. On the list for this weekend.

Now on to March:

1. Lose 5 pounds. Like I said above, I've already lost 2.6 since the 1st so I'm well on my way, but what usually happens in any given month is I will lose 3 or 4 pounds by the middle of the month and gain most or all of it back by the end for a net loss of 0 or maybe 0.4.

2. Finish books #5 (audiobook) and #6 and read #7.

3. Post on this blog 10 times.

That's really about it. I still have the purging project to work on and some other things, but that's it for official goals.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer! 5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago). It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old. I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year. I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it. It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods. So pretty.

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours. Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over. We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins. I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do. They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white. It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side. I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done. We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains. We're also going to paint. I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
