I started the month with a list of goals and intentions — and then promptly forgot about them. 😅
But somehow… I was on track anyway. Let’s take a look.
But first, let’s start with the galery:




















House & Renovation
- Finalized the last details in the living room — decor, small fixes, done!
- Discussed the next renovation focus — looks like the bathroom might be next.
- Spring cleaning… sort of? Not every area got the attention, but I did bring in my grandmother’s buffet and finally filled it with my best tableware. That counts.
Gardening & Outdoor Work
- Planted peas and radishes right on schedule — April 10!
- Prepared the raised beds — planned the layout, put in place, and almost filled them all… I still can’t believe I aimed that big for April alone, but here we are! Four are already planted!
- Set up the greenhouse — DONE.
- Replanted the strawberries — also DONE. I’m amazing.
Family & Everyday Life
- Balance between work, home, and personal time? Still a work in progress.
- Enjoyed more time outside — honestly, I run out into the garden any chance I get.
- Tried to capture small, meaningful moments — probably more than just an April goal.
Personal Goals
- Prioritized rest and self-care — yes, and it helped.
- Health awareness? Hm, I’m not sure I really managed this one
April was full, bright, messy, and surprising. I didn’t check the list once, but I moved with the season and got things done.
May, I’m ready — or at least curious — to see what you’ll bring but I hope to sit down a little and plan 🙂

Thank you, Derrick! When I write them like this, then yes! Pictures also show the progress from January to February to March to April. Doesn’t feel like so 🙂

Don’t say that word out loud 🙂 I think I need a vacation from work… or not… not sure 🙂 I would love to have a salary but no work 😀
