It’s laughable how I thought there was a weather whiplash in early February. Having lived through Snovid 2021, I now know what weather whiplash is.

So far it’s been in the 80s, raining, in the 60s, below freezing and soon it may be snowing. I’m sure Austin will make it to the 70s again before the month is out. But still, progress has been made.

Reviewing how you reached your goals, if you reached your goals, and the why behind it all is just as important, if not more important, than actually setting those goals.

The worst past of my recent trip to Bastrop State Park is that I forgot my camera! Luckily, my phone doubles as a camera, just without a lot of the control I’m used to. Other than that it was a beautiful day, the park wasn’t very busy and the kids were ready to hike!

I’ve been lucky enough to be able to stay home with my kids for over four years now. Initially, the plan was for me to take 6 months off after number 1 was born and then return to work. After a lot of soul searching and looking at finances, it actually ended up making more sense (both mentally and financially) for me to stop working and stay home full time. It’s been a life changing experience. My kids are better for it. I’m better for it. My husband and I are better for it. But now the kids are getting older (4 & 2!) and I’m ready to get back in to the workforce.

I did it! My website is my own - not a bit of me smashed into Red Owl! I realized that the Red Owl format just wasn’t me so I took the leap and spent (a very well spent) $19 on the Étoile theme.

Here’s the list I made in December 2020 for what I wanted to get done. Time to check in and see what I did.
