10 Things: March + April

Reminder: for 2019 I’m starting a new series – 10 things. I want to capture things I’m learning in my 30th year whether tiny or bold, big or small. The rules: It can only be one sentence, and there can’t be repeating lessons from month to month. It can be something I’ve learned in prior years, but needed reminding. I’m also including one picture per month that’s symbolic of the month for me.

My plan was to post this monthly, but the past few months have been craaaazy so doing a combo post again. Here are 20 things I’ve been learning:

M A R C H

1. Don’t be lazy – put your outdoor cushions inside for the winter.
2. Sometimes a 9:15pm dinner is the best dinner.
3. Porch wine always tastes better than inside wine.
4. Israeli hummus is the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life.
5. There is nothing like the first spring day.
6. I am the worst uuni pizza chef.
7. Give yourself permission to do nothing for an afternoon.
8. Lemon coffee is not just a thing, but a very delicious thing.
9. The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
10. Don’t listen to other people’s negative opinions.

A P R I L 

1. It always seems impossible until it’s done.
2. Wind therapy is a real thing.
3. Add brussels sprouts to your crawfish boil.
4. Sometimes the right thing to right thing to do is the hard thing to do.
5. A fresh coat of paint can make the world of a difference.
6. Not all tiki bar drinks come with umbrellas.
7. Seeing my name in a byline never gets old.
8. You can get a sunburn in April.
9. A cookie can make someone’s day.
10. Book the massage.
