Today: April goals (and a printable calendar).

I didn’t feel like painting April showers, so I skipped right to the May flowers.  Hope you don’t mind.

April goals (and a printable calendar)

Materials used: Winsor + Newton professional watercolors and gouache; round brushes (4 and 8), liner brush (0); super-inexpensive mixed media paper (from the kids’ craft aisle at Target)

April goals

Family

• Set plans for Nick’s baptism
• Pick a new Audubon sanctuary to visit this month
• Make a “warmer weather” bucket list (because I never did this in March… semi-related, it’s going to snow next week…)
• Day trip to the Cape

Wellness

• Continue to workout at least twice in the real world and twice at home (per week) and increase weekly mileage
• Increase low plank hold to 45 seconds, high plank to 2 minutes (gettin’ there!)
• Continue to keep food diary (this is something I got back into a few weeks ago — it’s been really helpful… and eye-opening)

Home

• Donate newborn and baby clothes (seeing as both my children are toddler-sized, including the four-month-old)
• Consign or sell our single running stroller
• Get the deck ready for spring/summer
• Continue to meal plan on Sundays (it’s really helping to cut down food waste)

Bring on the April showers.  So we can cut to the May flowers.
