1. Being brave creatively: make silhouettes of the kids. This has been on my to-do list for months!
2. Being brave in the kitchen: try a new vegetable. I just watched a delicious recipe using endive on Food Network, so maybe I’ll try that?
3. Being brave in my giving: donate to someone fundraising for an adoption. If you know of any families, send them my way!
4. Month-long challenge: write one letter every day. This is probably my most important goal this month. It’s so important to me to be the kind of person that intentionally cares about others. I want to be the girl who sends a timely note for friends going through a hard time, celebrating a new baby or whatever the reason may be. Hoping this monthly exercise will create a habit.
5. Do a better job documenting the completion of my goals. I hope to blog a bit more throughout, instead of just a before/after recap.
6. Read one book.
7. Go antiquing.
8. Hang curtains in the kitchen.
9. Launch a second section to the Big White Farmhouse shop: the Garden. (Tomorrow is the big day!)
P.S. Be sure to enter our giveaway on the Big White Farmhouse blog for a chance to win two of our new products: a “You are my Sunshine” garden marker and an Herbs Seed Bomb pack! Giveaway open until May 7 at 12:00am EST.

Also, I hope you like the address labels I send you– Just a small token of my appreciation for setting me up with my awesome penpals!!!

Good luck with your may goals and being brave. Your store is very cute. I am biased about the seed bombs though since that is my brother's company 🙂 Glad you like them too.
Ashley says
Yes, we are in love with the seed bombs! They are so fun!
Elisha says
How neat! I love your blog, first time here 🙂
Ashley says
Thanks for visiting, Elisha!
