Spring Weather is Here

Apr 8, 2015 /

Well, Spring weather has definitely arrived. You can’t get on social media today in Wichita without seeing the dangerous threat of weather coming our way.

It’s supposed to start between 2-4pm but the worst of it will be around 6pm. This is what they say.

I say that weather is unpredictable and last week when 100mph winds came through, took our power, and left golf ball sized hail behind, the chance of storms during that time was 0%.

So… Say a prayer for Kansas and Oklahoma today. Unpredictable weather is coming our way!

Mike and I are doing great! I am still holding off on the laundry room post because I want to finish one last thing and we haven’t had the time. I promise that someday you will see it and someday you will love it! I got to use it last weekend for the first time (for it’s purpose: laundry) and it was GLORIOUS!

Life update coming later this week.

Happy Day!

Love, The Jaderstons

Power Outage

Apr 3, 2015 /

I was hoping to share our laundry room updates today, but instead I am taking a pause as we wait for our power to come back on.

Wichita was hit by a hail and windstorm late last night. We lost power with a bunch of other Wichitans. My littlest sister is out of school because the school buildings lost power. It could be a few days before it they get things working again – so no laundry room update today! Hopefully next week!

Happy day!

Update: We had our power turned back on Friday evening! It was expected to be back on Monday morning so we are feeling lucky – no ruined food and we got to stay in our own bed!

April Goals

Apr 1, 2015 /

April is here!

And with April comes Easter, thunderstorms, warmer weather, opening the windows, gardening, and so much more!

But first, let’s recap March.

Passports: I applied and received my new one already! Now I am free to travel internationally as a Jaderston!

Dentist: Mike and I both got our teeth cleaned in March.

Laundry room: Yes, yes, and yes. But I’m not sharing yet!

Vacation: Yes, yes, and yes again! (Links to posts about Zona)

I keep my monthly goals simple, attainable, and not too excessive. With that said, here is April…

Savings challenge: We are doing round two of our savings challenge this month. I am hoping we can continue an every other month pattern for awhile. It helps us practice patience, delayed gratification, and it reminds us that we absolutely can pinch our pennies a little tighter.

Scarlet and Gold Shop Calligraphy Class: LINK HERE I have dabbled in calligraphy with no real training. I am so excited to take this FREE class with Scarlet and Gold to refine my skills and learn some tips and tricks.

30 Day Reset: Mike and I have been wanting to switch up our diets for awhile. We will occasionally make some big changes but we always revert back to old habits. This month we are motivated to do a 30 day reset of our systems – that means lots of cooking, no eating out, and a very specific diet plan that helps to “reset” your body so you can figure out what you’re sensitive to and how your own body reacts to certain foods. We are reading Chris Kresser’s book, The Paleo Cure and following his plans for the 30 days.

Final touches on Laundry Room: Yay! Our big renovations/remodeling of the laundry room is complete – which I’ll share soon – but there are still some little things left to do… mostly decorate. I have LOVED working on one room from start to finish, but I am so excited to finish.

And that’s it for April! Do you make monthly goals?

Happy Day!
