March - Year of Resolutions

I didn't get my house cleaned yet. Surprised?

I did create a cleaning schedule for myself, and I'd like to share it with you.  I'm not going to tell you how to make one yourself, because you can find many other blog posts about it by searching Pinterest or Google. I just included things I already do or would like to do and then consulted my Home Maintenance materials from class to see if there was anything I missed (we're actually right in the middle of our Housing unit!).

Little Cabin - Part III

*I started this post maybe 6 months ago and am posting it as-is.

The Little Cabin is not so little anymore!

But you wouldn't know it, would you? How could you when I haven't posted about it in OVER A YEAR?

Oh my gosh, has it really been so long? I cannot believe I have left it hanging so long.  So much has happened, and though we've captured somewhat inadequate photographic evidence, I will let the pictures do the talking for the rest of this update.

Little Cabin - Part IV+

The Little Cabin has come an awful long way since I last wrote about it. In fact, we just closed our construction loan and set up our mortgage today! There is still quite a bit of work that needs to be done, but we've been allowed to close which has taken a lot of pressure off Mountain Man and makes both of us happier.

February/March - Year of Resolutions

I hope you didn't think I'd given up on my resolutions just because you haven't heard from me!

It has been a crazy, busy, strange start to 2014, and I'd like to say I've adhered to my resolutions resolutely, but I'm only human, and they've been on the back burner more than once.  The Little Cabin is coming along tremendously but taking up a lot of my and Mountain Man's free time/thoughts (post coming soon!). And then there's wedding planning. It's always something!

Anyway, I am finally here to check in with you about my progress on my 2014 resolutions, and I'd love to hear how you've been doing with yours.

January - Year of Resolutions

I know you weren't expecting another update so quickly.  Try to breathe normally; please, contain your excitement.

This is my good-faith effort to keep you updated on my Year of Resolutions, and seeing as how I'm actually a bit behind, I decided to go ahead and fill you in on my plan of action for January's focus on health. I gave you a basic idea of what my approach was going to be back in my full YoR post, but I am a detail-oriented person and a self-titled over-sharer, so get ready for more than you ever wanted to know about my weight-loss strategies!

Mustering Up Some Resolve

If you're anything like me (or most of the world, for that matter), you make a handful of resolutions each new year, make a half-hearted attempt at keeping them, and forget them by February - sometimes sooner.  This year, I wanted to do something different.  There always seems to be something on my mind that I'd like to improve or do differently, and with the overwhelming choices making my head buzz and turning my resolutions into a laundry list of personal faults, I decided to take a step back.  What I chose to do is not exactly ground-breaking, but it's an option that I hadn't considered before, and I think hope it might be a good one.

Miscellaneous

I've always loved that word, especially once I learned how to spell it.  I'm kind of a show-off that way.

I have been wanting to give you an update on the cabin and life in general, but every time I go to write one, I feel like I'm having to explain things to put them into context for you.  Maybe this post would more accurately be titled "Context," because that's really what I'm hoping to give you - an understanding of my life as it is at this present moment in time.
