It’s Spring Break for us this week! Our days are purposefully wide open and while the weather doesn’t look promising, I hope we’ll be able to spend much of it outdoors. I also plan to attack my long overdue to-do list and maybe even deep clean my house. And reading. Definitely lots of reading too!
INTENTIONS FOR THE BEGINNING OF APRIL

- switch car seats around (we need to separate a few frequent squabblers)

PREVIOUS INTENTIONS
If you’re reading on your phone or in a reader, be sure to click over to see what I checked off the list!
- speak kindly about myself to myself (why is this so hard?! working on this)
send out the first batch of cards for the Springtime Postcard Project(still room to sign up!)take photos for March’s “Our Extraordinary Ordinary Life”(you can see the post here)buy candy and fill eggsmake sure the kids have something appropriate to wear for Easter (and me too!)find a type of sushi that I like(anything cooked is good – I still can’t get behind raw fish yet)drink more water- make dentist appointments
plan out flower beds for the front of the house and research local landscape architects(we had a landscape architect consultation last week, so excited!)- find coordinating outdoor pillows for the front rocking chairs and back bench that don’t cost a small fortune (no luck yet!)
- start the weaning process with P (this isn’t going very well…he’s teething and sick and not really having it)
What about you? What do you hope to accomplish in the next two weeks?
Hello!
I am a few months away from weaning and I have no idea where to begin! Is there a method you use?
As for the sunscreen: I really love Bare Republic!
I'm in the same boat as you with weaning! Pregnancy and nursing have always overlapped for me and my babies have just weaned themselves during the first trimester months. I'm thinking my game plan this time will be to delete one nursing session at a time – so maybe the daytime sessions first, followed by the early morning and then bedtime one? I also have a friend who went cold turkey, but not sure if I'm up to that yet. I'd love to know what you end up trying too!
And thank you for the sunscreen rec, I'll check that out!
Haha sounds good! I will let you know: You are a bit ahead of me so let me know what you find! 🙂
