How to become a crazy plant lady

How to become a crazy plant lady

So apparently when I made the goal of “buy more plants” for 2018, I took myself seriously. Since the beginning of the year, I’ve obtained 16 plants, bringing my grand total to 20.

March Three Simple Goals

Let’s get real guys. I love, love goal setting, but sometimes I jump in feet first and write a bunch of “good” things down, but never follow through.
