Here's to a great new week my friends. Many of you have suggested that sharing more of my 'old' types of posts might help life feel a little more normal, and actually it did feel pretty good just typing up the words 'weekend wrap-up' in the title, so here goes:
THIS LAST WEEK: mostly involved lots of extra one-on-one kiddo time, many many laundry loads, lots of great new music playing around the house, and tons of dreaming and planning. I found myself curled up on the couch many times with my little ones reading and coloring or playing/arguing around me, while I scribbled up lists of Fall activities to do together, places we wanted to go, treats to make, things I want to write about here, etc. And did I already talk about the treats I want to make? :) Anyways, you guys know how much I love making lists. I've gotten used to feeling consumed by all that I have to do and am behind on, as I know many of us do, but through the daily pressures and stress about meeting every need, I can smile thinking about that growing list of happy goals sitting on the kitchen counter. Something about the new season always inspires changes though, don't you think? Especially with how much our life is evolving lately, I'm seeing such positive changes everywhere, for the kids especially. The future feels so bright, but every day holds so much enthusiasm for them.
SNAPSHOTS OF THE WEEK: (I've not been super great at taking pictures, but I'm working at it:)
TO-DO'S & GOALS FOR THE WEEK:
- teach the girls how to french braid
- stack up the wood pile
- keep a consistent workout schedule
- try filming some family videos
- try wearing more than shades of black and gray
- figure out what everyone wants to be for Halloween
- find the missing Harry Potter DVD so we can start our marathon
- finally hang up the photos and things stacked around the house
- sort more boxes out of the garage
- practice more boldness and bravery
- use the big camera every day
- finish digging the firepit in the backyard
A FEW FACTS:
- The weather has been changing a lot around here in the last week, and suddenly our trees out back are dumping the rest of their orange leaves onto the still-bright-green grass. So it's officially that awkward phase between fake Fall and real Fall, but we're loving it anyways.
- Believe it or not, I'm still figuring out how snapchat works? but the kids and I love playing with the filters, and I only send clips to like three friends and my sister:)
- Moving forward I do wonder what type of posts I haven't shared in awhile that you'd personally like to see come back?
