Goals & Plans // May 2025

I have found my favorite part of spring!

The other day I was driving and the trees had just the hints of green, but the pear, cherry, redbud, magnolia, etc. trees were all blooming and it's just so beautiful! Plus, the pear trees dropping their petals look like snow :)

I've mowed and weed-whacked for the first time this year. While I can weed-whack on a somewhat consistent schedule (I try for weekly maintenance and not everything gets done each week so it works out well), mowing is completely random and that is a challenge for me, who likes to plan things out. It never seems to need mowed when I'm available and not raining :)

This month is filled with birthdays and we will be celebrating Memorial Day with a bunch of people coming over. Maybe we'll even get some dates on the calendar to have smaller groups over in the coming weeks!

Personal Goals

• Start a regular "date with myself". This is something I have discussed in counseling because I am really bad at doing things for myself. My idea is to go once a week to a local park of some kind and walk or sit and enjoy the day. Ideally it will be a standing thing that I can adjust as needed for weather or scheduling conflicts. I also want to hit a thrift store afterwards to glance over things. Going weekly would help me find things over time without the pressure of needing something right now.
• Baby shower! I'm very excited to celebrate my friend and her baby girl!

Business Goals

• Visit at least one new location. I still need to get better photos of Brighton and then there are a few places others have told me about that I want to see.
• Spring Novella Sessions. They're coming up quick but there are still a few spots left if you want to grab one! The farm is blooming and it's going to look so beautiful.
  

What are you planning for May? How do you usually celebrate Mother's Day? Do you have a gift yet for your mom?
