Can you guys believe it's already April? It makes me so excited that the sun is out most days, days are longer and it's getting just a bit warmer! I love this time of year so much, I always feel way more energized and motivated to get things done! Speaking of which, here are a few things I'm hoping to do this month:
First on my list is redecorating and rearranging my house! For over a little while now we had been going back and forth on whether or not we should move (we have zero storage space here). After thinking about all our options (and yes making a pros and cons list...) we decided it makes more sense to stay. I'm actually really glad we made that decision because it was such a valuable lesson to learn (which ties in with the quote below), that you can be content and happy with what you have, you just need to look for it. A month ago I couldn't of been out of this place faster, but after really thinking about what our current place offers and the differences between other places, it made me realize that I need to focus more on being content with what I have! So I've reorganized the closets, decided on new pillows and rearranged some furniture and I am so happy with the results (more to come on that)!
Since the sun stays out later now, it makes doing things at night that much easier. I feel like in winter you can get in to a slump of having dinner and perching yourself in front of the TV for the rest of the night. I've already noticed since it stays light until at least 7 now, that we have been way more productive and have been more likely to go out after dinner. One of the first things on my list, once it was warm enough, was to go for a bike ride. We went for so many last summer and I absolutely loved it. You get some good exercise but it's also just really enjoyable and reminds me of all those times I'd hop on my bike and just go wherever when I was younger!
Linking back to my first To Do, being content with what I have is going to be a big focus not only this month but hopefully for a long time to come. I feel like it is so easy to loose sight of what we have when it seems like everyone else has the newest, greatest and latest thing. Obviously you want that new shinny thing too! But when you really think about it, you probably can make do with what you have and a lot of the time it's just as good or better. I know I am guilty of buying things I probably don't need (hence the large bag of clothes I just donated) and I am really going to focus on that this month, and hey hopefully it will save me some money too! It's a win win!
The other day I came across the Easter card section in Chapters and found some absolutely adorable cards. I decided to buy a few and am determined to send them out in time for Easter! I love the idea of sending snail mail and think it's such a special treat when you receive something in the mail that you weren't expecting. So I have a few cards and stamps ready to be dropped off at the post office!
I hope your week is off to a good start! We are off to a basketball game tonight and meeting some friends for drinks before! So it should be a good Wednesday! I hope yours is too!
