Happy May! This is a BIG month for the Smythe fam because my husband graduates with his Master’s degree! I’m so proud of all the hard work he’s put in and happy that he can finally move on to the next chapter. And he’s definitely excited for the big transition out of student life. We probably won’t be attending the graduation ceremony so I’m trying to brainstorm ways to make it feel special and momentous. I would love any ideas you have!
April 2021 Goals Recap
Start volunteering at church (Whoops! Didn’t get to this.)Purchase bedding for our new (to us) office day bed
Reallocate retirement accounts (Maybe 4th attempt is the charm!) Create bedroom moodboard
Write 5 blog posts (I did 3!)
Do something Charles finds fun every week (I forgot to keep track)Sort 5 month’s photosDrink coffee only after eating breakfast (loved doing this! It really helped with caffeine crashes!)
Journal every day
Write 100 words every day
I’m learning that a lot of the small, frequent tasks tend to be my downfall. I will definitely have to experiment with how to solve this. Maybe doing away with those kinds of goals? Or perhaps just selecting a small number of daily/weekly tasks and really focusing on them? Definitely food for thought!

This should be a fun month as Charles wraps up school. Next month is the big transition into working full time!
