Small Goals // June 2018

May was a big month with big goals. Let’s see how I did (spoiler: I did great).

1. Visit the Madison Farmers Market. Done!
2. Make this craft fair better than the last. Yes! It went really well. I’m thinking I’ll recap this soon.
3. Read (or listen). Did it. I finished my book club book Tangerine by Christine Mangan plus I got most of the way through a sort of lame audiobook.
4. Check out a numerology course.  Done. This was a lot of fun.
5. Pick out the *perfect* flowers. Check! I definitely agonized over this one, but in the end, I’m happy with my picks! The vast majority of the plants are native species, which is important to Michael and me. We made an exception for rose of Sharon because we love them (and it’s not the kind of non-native plant that will spread and do harm).

5/5. Five 👏 for 👏 five 👏! I’m patting myself on the back for goals accomplished while also realizing that taking care of all those goals meant I didn’t blog at all this month. Whoops!

June is another busy month. Our patio plans are progressing and our social calendar is pretty full. But I’m really excited about it. When you realize that summer only has about 12 weekends, it makes you want to pack them to the gills. I think I’ll be doing a good job of that this month.

1. Create an all-new wedding hoop. One of my oldest friends is getting married this month. I’m hoping I can get a custom hoop done for her before her big day!
2. Explore Bayfield and the Apostle Islands. For our third anniversary, Michael and I are staying in Bayfield, Wisconsin, right on the shores of Lake Superior. I want to take in as much of the natural spaces as possible while making a little time for townie treasures.
3. Polka at Polish Fest. This was a goal for me last June, too. My family goes every year, though I have a varying level of success in getting anyone to dance with me. We’ll see how I do this time!
4. Host a patio party (or at least get one on the books). Our patio project is set to break ground this month! I’m so excited to see how it turns out. Once it’s complete, I’m hoping to host a party or two to celebrate our yard’s grand reopening.
5. Plant a small garden. When our yard is put back together, I really want to get a few herbs and veggies in the ground. I really missed having that last year.
