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:
writing on the blog everyday and starting to feel the fatigue. I’m at the halfway point, though, so I’m hoping to push through and finish strong! And exciting news: I was the random winner of a weekly giveaway for Write 31 Days!
taking the kids to see Mark’s office on Columbus Day. Then we took him out to lunch, which is a huge deal because we rarely go anywhere that requires us to sit down and wait for food. The kids were excited to see where Daddy goes all day and probably more excited to eat at “real” restaurant!
reading Second Street Station.
starting from scratch on a fall wardrobe. I purged about three-quarters of my closet and am slowly purchasing the pieces I need. It’s been fun to discover my own style again. I got another successful Stitch Fix box this week and added a few more things, including a sweater and leggings. Now I’m just waiting for the cool weather to stay so I can wear them!
celebrating D’s birthday. For his special meal, he asked for Burger King (third year in a row!) and an ice cream cake. He’s easy to please.
accepting help (humbly!) as my friend offered to vacuum out my car when we came for a playdate. As we pulled up her drive, she was just finishing hers and jumped at the chance to clean mine. I tried to decline, but she insisted. Honestly, it’s a task that has been on my to-do list for weeks now and I haven’t had a spare moment. Her love language is definitely serving others and I am so grateful to have received that gift – a clean car!
facing my dental fears as I went to get my fillings done twice this week. I wish I could tell my younger self, “Self! Don’t drink all of that soda and destroy your enamel! Self! When they say it’s important to floss, they really mean it!” Live and learn.
creating a Facebook page for this blog. I’m SO behind the times, but better late than never, right?
