1. Amiee and I are "so far, so good" on our clothing challenge. I haven't bought a single thing! For the most part, I haven't even been tempted. I did find two swimsuits that I REALLY would like to buy (thanks a lot, Pinterest). Here and here. Think they'll still be around next year? Perhaps it's a good lesson in contentment.
2. I'm doing really well on my reading goal. Three months in and I've tackled five books: The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay, and Same Kind of Different as Me. We'll see if I can keep it up.
3. Our ethnic food cooking goal is a little behind. We (thanks to Mom) had kusherie (Egyptian) in January, but we never got around to any ethnic cooking in February, unless you count Mediterranean-inspired pasta. On second thought, maybe we will count that. :) For March, we just tried out a Cuban recipe found on Pinterest.
4. The Union t-shirt quilt hasn't really happened yet, other than me sorting through the t-shirts and finding myself overwhelmed at the number of shirts we own.
5. The wedding scrapbook is actually going quite well. I'm stalled on it until I can get over to Hobby Lobby again.
6. I have not visited a new, cool city yet. It's only March, though.
7. The dining chairs have not been reupholstered yet...
8. I'm going to ignore my number 8 challenge...shhh...forget I even mentioned it... (unless you count going with Brad the last time he had his hair cut and watching/picking up tips. I haven't actually tried it yet. Scared face...).
I'm going to add a new goal, though, with a big life change (moving for graduate school) in mind: culling through our belongings and aiming to scale back on things we don't use very often (or ever). I foresee a smaller abode with limited storage options in our future.
Here's hoping I keep my momentum up!

Erin: Thanks for the mention and I do follow your blog--I check just about daily. In fact, you often inspire me to go look at or check out something--you really have peaked my interest in a lot of things (Wentworth puzzles for example--I have ordered and put together two). I was going to ask about a recent post related to Brad and the ethics of food--I am very curious about that. I think you are doing great.
Love,
Mrs. Tidwell
I still read your blog! I love your Disney inspired wardrobes!
Still reading when I can!!! Unfortunately, I'm writing too many papers to blog much these days. Miss you!
