goals update (april).

Since we're now three months into the year, I thought it was time to review my goals and see which things I can cross off my list. There are quite a few that I need to get moving on, too!

1. Create art with Jacob - DONE (see art day and melted crayon art).
2. Try 25 new recipes - IN PROCESS (5/25) (see new 2012 recipes, part 1).
3. Read 5 non-fiction books.
4. Read through the entire Bible - IN PROCESS - I'm still using YouVersion, and need to catch up, but I'm working on it.
5. Get eight hours of sleep a night for one solid month.
6. Start an herb garden.
7. Make meaningful art for my house - DONE, though there are still more things I want to make (see life is beauty full and abstract art).
