A Look Back at January

This is the first of twelve posts to keep track of what I'd hoped to accomplish each month this year to keep myself accountable. This involved things like reading more, knitting more, more homemade and expanding the garden and getting healthier.

What I read:

War Brides by Helen Bryan

The Preacher's Bride by Jody Hedlund

Things I Learned from Knitting by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee

Yes, I chick-lit it up. Next month I'll probably do the same.

What I knitted:

January socks: Knee high toe up socks for little girl. Pattern adapted from Circle Socks

Homemade:

Liquid Oatmeal-Castile Soap 

Homemade Deodorant

 

 No Knead Beer Bread

 Homemade Chocolate Syrup

Garden:

Hibernating this month, but our seeds arrived!

Well being:

Got Kiddo in a great preschool

Quit a terrible job

Will be starting a new job in early February



Organization:

Started keeping a daily journal to keep track of chores

Started some major de-cluttering and working to keep the house in better shape

Getting healthier:

Whoops. Things have been stressful, y'all.
