I am trying very hard not to focus on how quickly the year is flying by! But here we are in the 5th month of the year, the 2nd month in the 2nd quarter. As you know, I have annual goals but I’m trying to focus on my goals and projects by quarter so that I don’t get to the end of the year to find that I have not accomplished anything on my annual list.
Let’s go over April’s goals and project and then set some intentions for May.

In case it’s not clear or you’re wondering, I am intentionally keeping the goals and project list shorter this month. I really want to focus on my pantry project as my goal is to get it done by the end of the 2nd quarter (June). My pantry is a work horse so at some point I’m going to have to take everything out to get accurate measurements, remove the old decor, figure out and perhaps finish the new decor and whatever is left before actually doing the shelves. I don’t think that this will be a weekend project for me so I have to be prepared to live in the land of DIY limbo (and still live my life of course)!!
