The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

March 4, 2019

No.226: Intentions for the Beginning of March

Things are feeling a little…stale around here lately.  Maybe it’s the weather that teases us with visions of spring before diving back into freezing sleet and snow.  Maybe it’s the emotional roller-coaster of home repairs and insurance claims.  Maybe it’s the daily – boring – routine of just “doing the next assignment” in our schoolbooks.  Whatever the reason, I need to bring a little life back into our everyday!  March seems like the right month to shake things up a little.

INTENTIONS FOR THE BEGINNING OF MARCH

  • create a regular routine of working out with D (we’re going to do T25 together!)
  • replace burnt out recessed lighting bulbs in the living room and kitchen
  • declutter and organize the school closet
  • introduce a little Shakespeare into our homeschool
  • plan something art-related to do with the kids
  • play dominoes or cards after dinner as a family
  • go on a date!
  • send a package, just because (100LT #20)
  • paint S’s room (100LT #69)
  • start peeking around for a new dresser on yardsale sites or CL
  • research costs for resealing the driveway (get quotes?)
  • start a compost pile (100LT #85)
  • bake bread

        PREVIOUS INTENTIONS

        If you’re reading on your phone or in a reader, be sure to click over to see what I checked off the list!

        • write those letters!
        • order new moisturizer (I ordered this one)
        • make bone broth
        • start a compost pile (this keeps getting pushed off because of the crazy weather)
        • start making shopping/to-do lists for dog needs (SO much to learn and buy!)
        • add five new pieces to my Poshmark closet
        • decide what I want to read for Lent (blog post coming soon)
        • celebrate our 100th day of school in a special way (we had a big snow/ice storm, so we made fresh snow cream!)
        • introduce a little Shakespeare into our homeschool
        • research costs for resealing the driveway (get quotes?)
