1 // I’M (STILL!) NOT VERY GOOD WITH CHANGE.
September was a total blur of new activities and routines. Mark also started his new job, which brought its own changes. You’d think at this point in my life, I’d roll with the punches when things like this happen…but I don’t, hah! It’s been a constant battle to take care of myself with everything going on. Thankfully, each week gets a little easier.
2 // ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.
We read Abraham Lincoln in school and it may be my favorite d’Aulaire book yet! We all enjoyed learning more about him beyond the typical presidential facts. The kids loved that he had such a jovial sense of humor!
3 // I’M BACK TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND IT FEELS SO GOOD.
I’ve been having so much fun with Poshmark that I’m dipping my toes in creating a “real” business again! I’ve been setting aside a little time each day to work on “my closet” and in really fires me up creatively. I’m learning so much about clothing: brands, fabrics, quality, etc etc etc. In some ways I feel like I did years ago when I launched Big White Farmhouse – learning a brand new industry is fascinating.
P.S. If you sign up on Poshmark with the code BWFARMHOUSE, you get $5 off your first purchase!
4 // MY GRAY HAIRS ARE REALLY COMING IN.
I was brushing my teeth one night when I did a double take – what is happening on the top of my head?! I’m not necessarily dreading getting older, but it really is surreal to watch it happen.
5 // I FINALLY HAVE A LITTLE BOY WHO LOVES TRAINS.
I’ve been nudging my boys toward trains for years and years and none of them have ever really caught on. BUT! P (at almost 22 months) is obsessed! He watches Thomas the Train on repeat and looks at all of our train books. He’ll play with the trains and tracks on and off all day! So fun to watch.
Your turn: what did you learn this month?
