February 2015 Wrap Up!

Looking back at February these are some of the things that happened that felt note-worthy:

  • Ross and the girls flew their kites for the first time in a while.
  • I went to visit Sarah and Jason in Michigan for the weekend.
  • I dyed my hair for the first time in over a year.
  • Lilly and I went to Bella's school for Star Card Cart.
  • Bella had her school dance - Candyland Theme!
  • We made cupcakes as a family for Valentine's day!
  • I cut about 4 inches off of Bella's hair.
  • I started using iTrackBites again with Sarah.
  • Bella had a week off school! (President's Day, and 4 snow days!)
  • Went to Mom's for dinner after she returned from Belize.
  • We made lemon poppyseed muffins with a homemade glaze.
  • Had a proper Sunday roast that Dad was here for.
  • Tried Sweet & Sour Chicken Helper to much success!
  • Ross and I had a date night while Mom kept both girls overnight.
  • Church unveiled the new Preschool worship room that Lilly has class in.

Resolution update:
1. Saving Money - We made our target again this month! This is very exciting! We now have a substantial savings and can start saving towards specific things, like a new bed!

2. Lose 2 pounds a month / Get Healthier - I started tracking my food on my app, iTrackBites. It has gone much better and I lost 4 pound the first week. It's also helped that I've been texting with Sarah about what we eat. It helps us keep accountable.

3. Read 3 books a month - I didn't quite make it this month. My first book was Faith Shift by Kathy Escobar. It's a great book and just what I needed to read, but it took a long time to digest and I still want to read it at least once more. It's also extremely personal and not something I would write a review of at this point in my life. I did read Everything I Never Told You (Amazon, My Review). I loved it. And now I'm working on The Prayer Box but I didn't finish it before the end of the month.

4. Blog at least once a week - I've managed to keep this up, blogging daily but posting it weekly. So far I'm happy with what I've managed. I feel like it will be a good record of this year.
