March: Month @ a Glance {03.01.25}

 

Hello and happy March friends! Per usual, the month got away from me and I'm starting over at the beginning of the next month. March is shaping up to be a super fun month and I cannot wait to do all the exciting things we have planned. 

ON THE AGENDA THIS MONTH

1. Donut Shop + Bookstore Date with Vicki: On Saturday, Vicki and I are spending the day checking out a local donut shop and a few of our local book stores. I'm super excited to go and check them all out since I haven't been to them before. 

2. Book Clubs: For March, I have a total of five book clubs: ACOPAL, SJM Book Club, Fantasy Book Club, Mystery/Thriller and Dark Romance.  I'm excited for each one of the clubs and it will be so fun. I also am participating in two ARC reviews that will release in March so I'll read those as well. 

3. Birthday party for my friend's baby girl: My friends daughter is turning one (HOW?) this month and we were invited to her birthday party so we will be going to celebrate her completing the first year of her life. 

4. Birthday Brunch for my friend: I'm excited because a group of us women are going to my favorite restaurant to celebrate my friend's birthday.  It is a group of women from my book clubs so it will be so much fun to go. 

5. Third Coast Author and Book Festival: Ironically, the next weekend several of the same women are going to the west side of the state to attend an author and book festival. Over 100 authors will be there selling and signing books and I am so excited to go. I've never been to something like this so it will be so much fun. 

6. Ladies Brunch with my girlfriends: At the end of the month, my girlfriends are coming over for our monthly brunch and I always look forward to spending time with the ladies. We don't get a ton of time in person together so it will be fun to catch up. 

GOALS FOR MARCH

1. Make progress on the library/guest room. In January we started making changes to the guest bedroom to turn it more into a library than a "guest bedroom".  We have lived in our house for eight years and have not done much with the room so we made the decision to organize the space to a library/guest room.  So far we've got the bookshelves up and the desk ready for use, but we have a few more things we need to get done before the space can be usable. 

2. Start an exercise routine. Part of the guest bedroom space is going to include getting my Peloton bike accessible so I can start riding it again. I've been off the exercise train for way too long so I'm looking forward to using my bike again. 

3. Make a plan for our finances. Now that Justin is back to working and we have a better understanding of how much we are behind, we have decided to make a plan on how we're going to get our finances put back together and our debt paid off.  Part of that is a meeting with our financial planner on the 17th. 

Like previous months I will be using a tracker that I created which was inspired by Evermore Paper Co.. Their website is still down, so I am using my version I created for tracking this month. I'm hoping their site will go back up soon, but if you'd like to use mine, just click on the image at the end of this post - to be clear their version was free and this version is free. I will not earn any income from this printable.

Well I think that is everything for today! I hope you have a great month!



Question of the Day: What do you have planned in February?

Have a wonderful day,
Jackie
