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:
trying on and keeping a few pieces from my first Stitch Fix box in about 18 months. It’s been awhile and my postpartum body is still far from normal, but I thought it might be fun to give myself a little extra motivation. It did the trick; I kept a dress and an embroidered top.
laughing about J’s latest observation during our first spring-like day: “Look, we’re twins! We both don’t have socks, we just have toes.”
reading The Secret Keeper (almost done!) and Overcoming Dyslexia.
running Week Five in my half marathon training and feeling strong. I even got a chance to run outside – 55 degrees! Pumping myself up for a five mile long run tomorrow.
drinking a really delicious post-workout smoothie: frozen fruit, milk and half a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
working a little everyday on Sophie’s room. We moved the guest bed into her room and the duvet I ordered on ebay arrived. Now we’re waiting for the headboard to be delivered…my first time ordering big furniture online!
taking care of Mark. He pulled a muscle in his back while working out and could barely walk. After a trip to the doctor, they think he may have a muscle spasm? He is in a lot of pain, but they gave him prescriptions to try to keep him comfortable. Hopefully, he’ll be back to normal soon.
homeschool notes:
+ We have been so pleased with D’s reading program that I purchased a spelling program from the same company for M. He’s flying through it! We use a dry erase board with our lessons and he loves writing on that instead of on paper. Whatever works!
+ M is also working on his multiplication facts and having a bit of trouble remembering. I found a few skip counting songs on YouTube and even an old Schoolhouse Rock one. We’ll see if it helps him.
+ In Kindergarten, we played a game about syllables. I put paper on the floor with the numbers 1-3 and when I called out a word, the kids had to clap out the syllables and then jump to the correct number. Big hit.
