  • Coasting Along: A Pretty Coaster Roundup

    One of my small goals for August was to find and buy some pretty coasters. Somehow, I’ve gotten to be almost 30 years old having never owned a coaster. I was pretty sure which ones I would buy last month, but that didn’t stop me from going on a cute coaster hunt, just to be…

  • September Small Goals

    August went super fast. It started off with me falling down our stairs and injuring my tailbone (on our wedding anniversary, to add insult to injury). From there, we attended an old friend’s beautiful wedding, started getting quotes for a new boiler, road tripped to Pittsburgh to go to Abstractions, and spent a day in…

This was what I wanted to accomplish in July. It didn’t…

  • June Small Goals

    So, let’s not pretend it’s the beginning of June anymore. I’m still not sure how that happened. Anyway, I still wanted to check in for accountability and semi-consistency’s sake.
