A month in summary: May 2015

May was full of mushrooms, flowers, sunshine, and lots of fresh air. The weather in Wisconsin has finally been warm enough to wear shorts consistently and I've been taking full advantage of it. Layla and I have been playing outside alot. She especially loves collecting rocks, playing in the water, and 'helping' in the garden. Meanwhile Mike is mourning the end of Morel mushroom season and catching bass in shallows warmed by the may sun. He is also eagerly anticipating the start of hen of the woods and chicken of the woods mushrooms.  I'm just happy to have our full garden planted. Mike helped install a tall deer defense fence to protect the tiny sprouts. I'm so proud to watch them grow and to eat my own produce in a few months.
I hope may treated you all just as well. Feel free to share your May accomplishments with me.

New Year's Resolutions Update

If you remember, I made three New Year's resolutions this year. Now I'm already one third of the way through the year and have about a 1.5/3 success rate. Here's the breakdown.

1) Do more yoga.
I haven't been as successful as a thought I would be. Mostly because the weather has been nicer. Instead of indoor yoga, I've been opting for daily stroller walks with Layla in the spring sunshine instead. It's not yoga and probably doesn't increase my flexibility or get me closer to my handstand goal but its still just as relaxing and physically active. Plus its mich easier to do with Layla.

2) Blog more
This has probably been the most successful new goal for me. Once or twice a week, during nap time, I try to post something relevant to my life. I'm already improving. If you have any suggestions for me I'm always happy to hear them.

3) Stand up for myself more.
This one is definitely the most difficult. Unlike my first two resolutions, I haven't improved upon this very much at all. I am working less and getting more sleep, however,  so I'm altogether far less irritable. Surely this goal is going to take me more than a year to master.

What were your New Year's Resolutions? Were they successful? Let me know.
