A new series for 2020: if I record 20 things every week, I’ll have over 1,000 items by December 31.
That’s a lot to be grateful for.

settling into our new routine
piles and piles of books waiting to be read

fresh haircuts (by me!) on two of the boys
how hard the kids worked to lay the gravel path in the garden
being caught up on all of the laundry
chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, just because

watching the sunrise
the Chaplet of Divine Mercy
a walk around the loop of our property as a family
watching everything turn green
that my finger has healed without a big scar
how positive the kids are being, despite missing family and friends and activities
the arrival of a new puzzle in the mail
an afternoon nap
a new bar of soap that smells like wildflowers

this verse that I read this week: “…Lord, you are our father; we are the clay and you our potter: we are all the work of your hand.” Isaiah 64:7
Teach me your ways! I need to learn how to give haircuts…my daughter hasn't had one in about two years (I know, so bad!), and my older son has just barely started getting hair, but I imagine it will be overgrown in a few months here. How did you learn?
Our younger boys like their hair buzzed in the spring/summer since Virginia is SO hot, so it makes for an easy haircut. My teen and tween actually have a hairstyle, though, so we'll see if they're brave enough to let me try to cut it, ha!
For my daughter, I just trim straight across with wet hair. It's definitely not perfect, but she has a bit of a wave to her hair so it's forgiving.
For trimming my (longer) hair, I've had good luck with the ponytail method. I found a few videos/instructions on Pinterest and it's worked out great!
Keep these posts coming! They are much needed in these times
I am loving being caught up on laundry too!! I guess I just need to NEVER leave my house and I'll stay caught up. Haha!
