For the first time in over a year, April was such a busy, on-the-go, kind of month! We kicked off the month with celebrating Easter, packed up the car four days later for our trip to Kentucky, spent a weekend working through some tasks for our master bedroom update, I got vaccinated(!) and ended the month on our camping trip in Pennsylvania. I’m honestly surprised by the progress I made on my goals last month with all of that going on! Even so, I do have a few unfinished projects that I am anxious to complete over the next few weeks.

I am eager to see where May leads us. As the “Friday” to my favorite month of the year, I am anxious to make this month extra sweet before, admittedly, the heat and humidity rolls in for the summer. I’m planning for many dinners on the patio, more early bedtimes to take advantage of the early morning sun, and soaking up the presence of spring while it’s still here. Thankfully, many of my goals for May fit into this relaxing vision I have for this month.

What are your goals for the month? I’d love to cheer you on – let me know in the comments below!
