The weather outside is //
As I look outside my window // Good morning from our winter wonderland…kinda! Yesterday, we woke up to really heavy snow fall, which didn’t let up until around noon. It was perfect snowball consistency! Then, the snow stopped, the sun came out and promptly melted about half of it! So weird.
As I look around the house // I’m mentally making a to-do list for projects to start in the next few months. Most of our tax return this year will be going toward our financial goals, but I’m hoping to squirrel a little away for a laundry room revamp. For the amount of time I spend in there, I definitely need more storage and a better flow.
On this week’s to-do list //
– finalize early spring planting schedule
– deep clean the laundry room
– mail Valentine’s Day cards to my favorite little people (nephews and cousins)
– finish taxes
– finalize plans for Lent
Reflecting on // how much I can get accomplished when I’m not chained to my phone. This is a goal I’ve been intentionally working on since the beginning of the year and I’m making progress!
Currently reading // a bunch of books, per usual! My non-fiction book is Wendell Berry’s The Art of Loading Brush. I just started Diaries of the Chinese Martyrs: Stories of Heroic Catholics Living in Mao’s China. I’m also reading The Truth According to Us by Annie Barrows for Historathon. (affiliate links)
On the menu this week //
Monday: garlic-parmesan veggies and sausage with rice
Tuesday: turkey taco rice skillet
Wednesday: pasta with Bolognese sauce and garlic bread
Thursday: Sicilian chicken soup
Friday: meatless six layer dip and chips
Yay on the landry room project!
I’m excited! It really is the little things, isn’t it? 🙂
hello! I just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your blog. I am a new reader, having discovered you in the last few weeks from someone (but I cannot remember who, now). I have read through a few past pages, and find that we must have some of the same tendencies. I also have been on a ‘homemaking’ reading kick and home organization plan. I have a 14mo at home and have been desiring to accomplish tasks but not feel too overwhelmed doing it. Theology I and II arrived in the mail as I had ordered them for myself as a late Christmas gift.
Thank you so much for commenting – I’m so happy to meet you! I’d love to hear about your favorite homemaking books so I can add them to my stack. And Theology of Home was really thought-provoking for me…hope you love it too!
