I can't believe it's April already! Today (2nd) Baby A turns 3 months old! Can you believe it? Where has the time gone? She is growing so big! We are going to visit at the end of the month for a week and I can't wait to see her again and give her a big hug. I will be having lots of Nana time lol.
Yesterday, April 1st, was bright and sunny. I walked with my friend. It was really quite nice and wonderful to hear the birds singing their hearts out.

Today was totally different! I thought that I wasn't going to be able to take a walk as the forecast was for rain all day long, but when I woke up it had changed. It was dull and drizzly (at least for a while) but I managed to get a walk in. I was glad to as I saw a few beavers and a pair of coots (they only visit here in Spring). It wasn't a long walk as I had made a list of things to do with the thought that it was going to rain.
Day 93/366
Made me smile to see a goose on top of the beaver lodge when I first arrived. I hope they don't try to make a nest there lol.
I did manage to check off most things on my list. Meal planning and shopping is done. I got regular household things done, a couple of extras and worked on my craft room a little bit. There is some space on the table now. My next plan is to sort through everything else on the desk.
I also worked on a list of goals for April. I'm hoping I'll make a good start on them. We are going to daughter's to visit at the end of the month so it will be a shorter month at home.
These are the extras I want to work on this month : -
* declutter 30 books
* sort clothes - it's coming up to (hopefully) time to put away the winter things. I want to sort through and donate what I haven't worn this winter AND sort through things I don't think I'll want to wear this summer.
* Clean up the garden. There's some bits and pieces that need to be cleaned up. I've been putting it off.
* More magazine reading and decluttering. I've got rid of a lot, there are still more to go!
* Read at least 5 books
* Start a new cross stitch project. I keep meaning to. I keep putting it off.
* Work on the downstairs bookshelves
* Wipe down the kitchen walls.
Photography Projects
* Continue with my 366 Things That Make Me Smile project
* Do my #1day12pics project. I have to pick a theme
* Some creative photography.
I'll have to do some time management to get all these done. I struggle with that, as I'm sure I've mentioned before lol. Some of this may continue on into next month.
I'm going to add some budget things
* Continue to meal plan. Look up some more frugal meal ideas to help the budget!
* Don't buy any more craft items! I'm going to allow myself to spend a little when I get to daughter's on craft items ONLY IF I work on some projects before I go.
* Don't bring any new/used books into the house. Really struggle with this.
* Continue to list on Ebay to maybe make a little money. I do have to make sure that, after a time, if things don't sell they get donated. I don't want the things to stay in the house.
Phew. I think that's enough for now. Do you have goals for April?
