The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

September 27, 2013

{around here} Week of 9.23.13

Our Little Miss turned one this week and I still can’t believe we are here.  I feel like I blinked and all of a sudden, she is a big girl and just a bundle of personality.  Slightly mischievous and full of joy.  We are truly blessed to have that girl in our lives.


I’ve been unhappy with my pacing and feeling super slow, so I decided to start an 8 week training schedule to improve my 5K time.  Three days in and feeling strong.


I’m considering an “Eat at Home October” with Jules over at Pancakes & French Fries.  Meal planning is my downfall and I’m ashamed to admit how many times we eat out due to pure laziness.  I want to see cooking as an opportunity to nourish my family instead of it just being a chore.  This is also a good time to hop back on the Paleo wagon.  One of the items on my life list is to make every recipe from a single cookbook and I think I’ve found that book!  


Out of the blue one day: “Mamma, I’m so glad I have a baby sister.” -M


I got out of my comfort zone and tried my hand at making my own stationery.  I was surprised to realize that it is much harder than it looks!  It took me a few naptimes, but I finished and now I think I’m hooked.


My favorite moment of the week: As we drove to soccer practice, the big boys were talking and started belly laughing in the back seat.  Sophia, oblivious to their conversation, immediately started laughing too.  She’s never one to be left out of a good time. 🙂


Hope your weekend is full of family and fun, friends.

    Curious if you found a good gluten free mix yet. I'm always in search of expanding my recipe repertoire 🙂
