Oh Daylight Savings Time. You mess us up every time. I’ve spent the week chugging cups of coffee to compensate for my early risers and I’ve been ready for bed by 8pm! Hopefully, we’ll get back on track this weekend.
On Monday, I was nursing the baby and looked around at all.the.stuff. With Christmas right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to do a sweep and declutter before all of the new stuff enters the house. I managed to label a few boxes (similar to this) and make a to-do list (you know me!) and I hope to really get started tomorrow.
Favorite homeschooling activities this week:
- Our new read aloud is Owls in the Family and we’re really enjoying it. We looked up Youtube videos to compare different species of owls, drew one with the help of Art for Kids, and made paper bag puppets.
- It was C week in kindergarten. We made cookies and caterpillars.
I got the green light from my OB last week, so I am full speed ahead on exercise. This week was a mix of Couch25K runs and the last section of my postpartum exercise DVD:
—————————————–
- BWF Behind the Scenes: A Reflection on the Past 10 Months: a journal entry of sorts to remember the ups and downs of being a new small business owner
- From the Archives: Gratitude Journals. This was #3 for my Life List goal to support 100 small business mammas. She still sells these little books, check them out! I love mine.
I’m still reading Let’s All Be Brave but hope to finish up this weekend. This quote stuck with me: “The longer I live, the more I think I’m figuring out that courage often looks like sacrifice and service. In the places where you find the most comfort, you have to have a little extra something to give there. Home is where we rest. Home is where we find peace, so to give from there, to sacrifice in that place, is to sacrifice deeply, I think. It’s brave.”
Have a wonderful weekend.
