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!
buy wrapping paper and wrap gifts for M(I have a teenager in the house! I can’t believe it…)finish collecting items for Birthday Boxesand drop off at the food pantry (on the list for this week!)start thinking about Christmas- send off broken crayons to The Crayon Initiative

Best of luck with potty training! I imagine you're probably a pro by now, but the thought of having to potty train my second kid in about a year just makes me shake in my boots…it's probably my least favorite part of parenthood (at least thus far). Fingers crossed your youngest takes to it quickly!
Thanks! He's definitely ready, but I've been dragging my feet, hah! It's one of my least favorite parts of parenting too.
literally just gasped at "I have a teenager in the house" omigosh, please take good notes and report back. xxox
flannel sheets on beds – yes!
I can't believe how fast the time has gone…just five more years until he'll be off into the world! Such a bittersweet thought.
I love the way you do these "intentions"! Also, I can't believe you have a teenager! I'm close enough to start thinking about that, but far enough away that it still seems really scary!
I can't believe it either! So far, I'm really enjoying this older kid phase. 🙂
I am interested in seeing what you do for "Advent School"….hopefully you will blog about it! 🙂
Thanks for the blog idea! I'll work on that.
