A friend of mine has occasionally written posts that hit on a lot of goings-ons without all the detail, and I always enjoy them. Took the idea for this post, I hope you don’t mind, Hannah! A quick glimpse of life these days ...
Locking the cupboard at work that houses all the spices. So far Harrison has dumped an entire container of gourmet smoked sea salt flakes and has eaten ground cayenne.
Dumping the vacuum full of gourmet smoked sea salt flakes. Will they be missed? (Hi Beth and Andrew, if you ever see this.)
Baking a variation of these low-guilt cookies.
Going to the Farmers Market every Sunday.
Cooking bone broth and bacon. Who even am I?
Eating bacon and alllllll the meat. Seriously who even am I? Ground turkey meat sauce over spaghetti squash is a current favorite.
Wearing so many clothes I don’t feel good in. I need a wardrobe makeover.
Joining the Weston A. Price Foundation and so excited about it.
Going on dates with Jer, consistently. Why did it take us this long?
Decorating our apartment. After four years of living here, and almost five years of marriage, I’ve realized we can make our living space a home. Walls can be painted, towels can be coordinated, our bedroom doesn’t need to be a dumping space for everything that doesn’t have a place to go.
Sewing the curtains I trimmed with kitchen shears and then threw in the wash. Ok so I haven’t sewed them yet and there are hundreds of loose threads hanging off of them.
Drinking homemade kombucha, obviously. And lots of full-fat raw milk.
Reading The Whole Brain Child, finished it a few days ago and resonated with everything I learned from it. Started and finished The Handmaid’s Tale in two sittings last Saturday. Can’t remember the last time I’ve done that, and it was glorious. Working my way through Celebration of Discipline and discussing it with friends bi-weekly.
Walking all around Culver City, maintaining my “two baby dog lady” persona during the workweek.
Watching The Last Jedi. Finally. And I happily avoided spoilers. And I started The Handmaid’s Tale the day after I read the book.
Looking at all the barefoot shoes on a variety of websites and can’t make up my mind. I bought these and am happy with them, but I also want a pair of closed-toe shoes that do not look like running shoes.
Playing at the park with Harrison and Edith. Can’t stay cooped up inside with two children all day.
Wishing we weren’t on the opposite coast of my family.
Enjoying my slow entrance back in to running.
Loving these shirts Becki sent to Harrison and me, I love the shirts and I love that they were sent just because.
Needing a best girl friend. Life has been lonely, not gonna lie.
Wanting a good haircut. I was considering chopping it to my shoulders but I’m not so sure anymore. What can I do that is easily maintainable and works well for thick hair that has tight waves in the bottom layers?
Feeling some feels about my baby turning two in just over a month.
Listening to the Wise Traditions podcast, one or two episodes every day. I'm realizing more and more that these are my people.
Learning so much about gut health and the amazing ways the body can heal itself, physically AND mentally.
Thinking about my new learned ideas of what healthy is. All day long. Changes are abounding.
Traveling internationally with Jer and Harrison in September!
Taking Harrison to the bathroom every 45 minutes - 1 hour.
Hoping he starts self-initiating more consistently.
Riding my skateboard. Finally! Took it out on Sunday for the first time and had a blast, excited to get more confident with it.
