It’s been SO long since I’ve shared a “three things” post. I saw a favorite blogger to do it a few years ago and love how it’s a quick update on how everyone is doing and what we’ve been up to.
Of course, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, tense election, and one of the biggest fights for racial justice we’ve ever seen. As the saying goes, it’s fine, I’m fine. BUT despite the feeling of being in the Groundhog Day movie since March, navigating working from home, helping two kids navigate virtual learning, ALL while entertaining a toddler- life continues to chug away despite it all.
Hey y'all! It's almost Thanksgiving! Here's to a short week and lots of family time! Can't beat that! I am SO looking forward to a long weekend with my people!
I got the following blog post idea from one of my favorite bloggers, Andrea over at Momfessionals. I just love this idea because it gives a quick update about what's happening with everybody in the family.
This girl is LOVING toast with strawberry jelly on it lately. Every morning she asks for "jelly please!"
She is into all things crafty. She loves drawing, coloring, and especially painting. She also loves playing Play Doh and making "cookies"
Almost every night when we pick her up from school, she is either coloring or playing with Magna Tiles. Little does she know she is getting a 100 piece set just for herself this Christmas! =)
You can find Sophia either coloring/crafting or playing with her dolls. We received 4, hand me down American Girl dolls from my mom's neighbor and she loves them.
Pizza pizza! This girl is my pizza eater! She would probably eat pizza every night if we let her!
She is such a mama hen. She loves taking care of her babies, Odin- our dog, and her little sister.
We are settling into our new home. It feels less new and we're really thankful we chose here to call "home"
Will is in the home stretch of his master's program and is set to graduate in May 2016
I have completed EMDR training (click on the link to see what EMDR is) and am now working on my consultation hours. This has been a professional goal of mine for quite some time so I'm excited that I was able to finally complete it. Feeling a little unsure still of integrating it into my practice but I know with time, I will get more comfortable just as I have with the whole therapy process!
So, there's a quick glimpse of what's going on with everybody! Hope everyone has a great week!
Every year, we head to Night Eyes, our local zoo's Trick or Treat night
Beggar's Night (this Sunday)
What I'm loving...
These flats have been on repeat as well as these booties
Sophia's 1st grade pictures.. she is looking oh so grown up and my mama heart just bursts in pride
What we've been up to...
Yardwork
Sprucin' up our front door
House projects
Pumpkin patch and fall activities
What I'm watching...
This is Us- I'm sure if you're on social media, you've heard about this show. It's so dang good. I had my reservations because they were claiming it was the next Parenthood (my ultimate favorite show) and I just couldn't see anything living up to what Parenthood was. But guys. I think they were right!
Ben and Lauren on Freeform
Shameless on Netflix
We finished Stranger Things on Netflix last month- if you're looking for something to watch, I highly recommend!
What I'm excited about...
This.
What I'm working on...
I wanted the look of our living room to be a little funky and modern. I chose this rug and wanted decor to match the feel of the rug. Colorful and fun. I found this cow painting at At Home and instantly fell in love and thought it matched the space perfectly. My husband's response to the cow painting was- "it's a cow." Yup, she sure is and what a beautiful cow she is =) The girls have named her Rainbow. ANYWAY, I've been wanting to find other art to fill the very large wall that Rainbow and our big clock is on but I just couldn't find the right piece(s). I decided why not let the girls paint some art work and I will frame them in gold frames I found at Target and call it a day. They finished their paintings last night and I can't wait to see the end result!
Other than my usual Pandora stations (Ed Sheeran, Today's Country, Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout) I haven't listened to any PodCasts lately- anyone have any suggestions?
