Diaries of a homebody living alone

Living alone is the best thing I’ve ever done lol. I wish I could have done it sooner, but I’m having such a great time. Sometimes I just walk around looking at my tiny apartment and taking it all in. I’ve planted some tomatoes, peppers, passion fruit and cucumbers on my tiny fire escape garden. My mint, calamondin and raspberry bush are coming back from last year, so my little urban garden will soon be filled with beautiful greenery and veggies! I am considering changing some decor in my apartment for the spring and summer. And I want to change my work schedule so that I have more daylight to be off work and just enjoy outside. But we will see! Also… We got the chicks! So I have backyard chickens at my mom’s house and we just built a coop! I’ll give a tour soon. Also been cooking lots, I’ll give my dishes their own post since the last one was such a hit!What are you looking forward to as it gets warmer girly pops? #apartmenthomesteading #apartmentgarden #tinyapartment #girldinner #apartmenttherapy
