Catching Up

I can’t believe it’s already March! Time slipped away from me since the last time I posted, but I figured it was time for an update. I did end up completing my year of mini resolutions, wrapping up December with another ‘spring cleaning’ goal. For November, my goal was to write more, which I think…

April’s Check-In

If you read my April resolution post, you will know that the challenge I chose for myself involved minimalism. For each day of April, I got rid of items that equaled the date. So in total, I was supposed to have gotten rid of 465 items. This doesn’t mean that I threw everything away. That…
