In March, we're focusing on our eating habits. Our goal is to try one paleo recipe each week. We started last Friday with spaghetti squash with Paleo Meatballs and Sauce from "The Paleo Cookbook" by Jodie and Gilaad Cohen. That recipe has made enough for the two of us for four dinners so far. I was going to try freezing some for later, but we like them so much we haven't done that yet.

I also have a goal to create a 13-piece capsule wardrobe for summer by mid-June, and I'm starting today with a coral tank top. The fabric is pre-washing with the rest of the "red" laundry right now, and I will print out the pattern this afternoon.  I am aiming for one completed garment per week.

We are building out a new kitchen this year, so for February our goal is to finish a bank of drawers, a new sink and undersink cabinet, and a countertop over them and the dishwasher. The cabinets need an end facing and kickboards, the backsplash is in, but needs grout, the walls will be painted grey, and there will be wood trim around the backsplash tiles. We lost our dachshund, Jack, yesterday, and looking after him has slowed our progress. But we hope to have this area complete by month's end. I tried to post a photo of our work, but it was too big for the forum. So I guess another goal for this month is to learn how to resize photos!

 

I'm so glad to see the discussion boards reopened. I just pulled out some old files to look through, and found Maria's checklists from February 2000 through 2016! I keep track of them on the computer now, so no more hardcopy files needed. I know I need to let these go, but it IS a lot of fun to go back and see what I accomplished over the years. My husband and I are getting ready to retire in a year or two, so downsizing is our main goal.
