A collection of our ordinary days, recorded every week. At the end of the year, I’ll publish them into a keepsake to treasure.
Around here, I have been:
taking an unscheduled break from my camera and the blog. Last week was so good, but intense and I guess I needed the time off to re-energize! Looking back on the photos, though, I’m so glad I participated in the project and I’m sure I’ll do it again. I love the idea of creating visual time capsules.
preparing for a busy fall schedule. I’m holding my breath and getting ready to hold on tight! Our days will be full with soccer, church commitments and a homeschool co-op, but I’m hoping organization and communication will help make the days less frantic. This week, I focused on meal planning and ordering what I need on Jet.
reading The Journey of our Love. I also finished See You Later, Gladiator as a read aloud with the kids.
loving sweet Sophia as she held her drawing behind her back and said, “Close yours eyes, mama!….Su-prise!”
working just a little on Big White Farmhouse. With school back in session, I’m still struggling to figure out how to fit everything in and BWF has unfortunately taken the back burner the past few weeks. This week, I was able to get a handful of sewing drawers up and I’m hoping to catch up with the rest of my vintage finds this weekend.
listening to the McNeely’s at His and Her Money. After a long conversation about dreams and goals for our future, Mark and I are more committed than ever to pay off our remaining student loan debt and start aggressively saving. I’ve been staying motivated by watching their YouTube videos and listening to their podcast. Their enthusiasm is contagious!
watching TJ turn into a toddler right before my eyes! His birthday is in three weeks and I just can’t believe how fast the time went. He is walking, babbling up a storm and loves his Daddy fiercely. He is such a blessing to all of us.
