Bathroom Refresh on a Budget

 Our bathroom was old, outdated, and I was tired of it. But I also had a tight budget. Our water has a really high iron content, so everything turns yellow over time - and our bathtub was nasty. Redoing the floor was way out of our budget, as was replacing the iron stained tub and a few other things. So I went on a quest to find alternatives. 

Share the Wealth Link Party #14

  As I was laying in bed this morning, contemplating getting up, I realized today is March 4 - I forgot to post on the 1st. How does retirement get so busy?

Well here we are now and let's party!

Beach Reset

 Life gets busy sometimes. And overwhelming. Our modern lives have so many things going at once, it's hard to stay on top of it all. And it wears you out. 

Enter the beach reset. My sister and I went to the coast for four glorious days of play. We stayed in a wonderful room with a balcony that faced the ocean. A little fireplace - a glass of wine. Let the reset begin.

Getting a Jump on Spring - Starting your Vegetable Garden Indoors

 We've had such beautiful weather this last week. It feels like spring - but I know it's just teasing me! I'm ready to start planting my garden. I've started my seeds indoors to plant outside after the danger of frost has past. Here is the process I used to get things going. 

I Don't have a Bucket List - And here's why...

 I do not have a bucket list. Although I have been a list maker all my life and a bucket list is simply another list. The difference is the to do list is far more likely to be completed than the bucket list. 

When I make my to do lists, I often put far too many items on the list than I can every complete in a day or a week. And at the end of the day when I don't have everything crossed off, I am disappointed in myself for not getting more done. The fact that I've done 14 of 20 is of no consequence.
