Looking Back: March

It's hard to believe anotherrrrr month has completely flown by! I guess that's what happens when you're having fun. Anyways, at the beginning of March I set some goals for myself. Let's see how I did, shall we?

>> Take More Pictures - I've actually been better about bringing my camera with me when we go places. I guess there's always room for improvement, though. Both Jeremy and I had fun snapping pictures at the Metal Museum.

>> Make Ice Cream - I did this BUT it was a disaster!!! I pulled out my ice cream maker and tried to make mint ice cream for St. Patrick's Day and it tasted horrible! I still don't know what I did wrong. I muuust try this again and possibly follow one of my tried and true recipes like this one for peach ice cream or this one for cookies & cream.

>> Decorate with Fresh Flowers - I failed at this one, too. I think I was so hopeful that Spring would have sprung entirely, however, we had some cold spells! In April there will be fresh flowers, for sure. I mean, it's hard to leave the Farmer's Market without a bouquet and the market starts back up in April!

>> Create New Embroidery Hoops - I have actually been stitching a whole bunch lately, however, the only new hoop I've shared.... so far.... was this Memphis Grizzlies hoop. I also shared the news that I now do hand embroidery for Cotton Tails, an adorable children's boutique here in Memphis!

>> Find a Pot of Gold - I had the goal to save some money this month. Overall, I think I did okkkkk with this, the biggest issue is grocery shopping!! I don't know how we manage to spend so much money there. We meal plan, and use digital coupon, and still drop loads of dough... any tips?

>> Exercise - Pshh. This is a big fat fail.. I've been so bad with the cold weather and it's hard to get back into the routine. There are rumors around my house that we might be getting bicycles here in the next month or two so that should help :)



So, how was your March?? Bloggers, leave me links! I'd love to read some things you did this month.

March Goals

Hello, March! Yes, it's still freezing outside but the end of winter is in sight. I'm trying to bring myself out of hibernation so I'm setting some goals for this month. There are some things I want to be held accountable for and fun things I want to do.

>> Take More Pictures - My poor camera has been neglected. When the world is grey, I have very little motivation to snap pictures of pretty things or even everyday life. I want to get back in the habit of documenting moments, even the simple ones.

>> Make Ice Cream - It's been too long since I've used my ice cream maker. I'm thinking it needs to be pulled out soooooon.

>> Decorate with Fresh Flowers - Spring is almost here and with spring comes flowers! I think having flowers around is just what I need to get rid of the winter blues.

>> Create New Embroidery Hoops - I have ideas spinning around my head! I just need to get them stitched up. This will happen this month. Be on the lookout for new hoops listed in my shop.

>> Find a Pot of Gold - Putting a St. Patrick's Day spin on this one, but one of my goals this month is to spend money frugally. We have some fun trips planned in the next few months and plane tickets are expensive.

>> Exercise - Putting this one on here to hold myself accountable! Getting back into the habit of exercising has not been easy... I'm choosing to blame the weather. I have a feeling, though, that there will be some sunny days this month and I am going to take advantage of them and get outside!
