Doing //
...all the things. Seriously. SO. MANY. THINGS. I have lists coming out of my ears and I'm losing my mind just a little bit. Thankfully, over the weekend I had a couple of kid-free hours and my kitchen table no longer looks quite as bad as that photo above.
...some backyard therapy in an attempt for everyone to play happily while Mom gets some work done. It's been...reasonably successful so far.
...a lot of Etsy shop marketing. I think it may be working - I had four sales last week!
Planning //
...Addie's second birthday party. I've only started the initial planning stages for this, but since it's barely a month away, it seems likely that I should get busy.
Holiday Gift Guide arrivals! Oh, to be a blogger's child. |
...the Holiday Gift Guide for the blog! I haven't done a gift guide since 2011, when I was a full-time coupon blogger. So this is fun (and a little overwhelming, since it's been three years)! If you own a business or an Etsy shop or anything like that, read more about how to be included in my guide!
...a mini vacation next month. We loved Silver Dollar City last Christmas and had so much fun exploring Branson as a family this summer that we just can't pass up the opportunity to go again.
Remembering //
...to use my real camera sometimes. All the photos in this post are blurry because they were taken with my phone. I want to get back to keeping a daily Project Life scrapbook and I know that I will prefer "real" photos for that. I still think phone cameras are great. But expensive cameras are nice, too.
...that having a meal plan is helpful. I've done slightly better this past week at having some sort of intentions as far as dinner and even that has made life a little easier. If I actually cooked every night, wouldn't it be fantastic? Cooking is not my strong suit. There are so many other things I would rather be doing. I can't be the only one who feels like this, right?
Wishing //
...that I were planning a trip to Disney World. Hey, I can dream.
...for more hours in the day. I sort of feel like this is going to be a lifelong desire.
Loving //
...the way Lincoln and Addie actually play together sometimes. It was more than a little crazy having two kids under age two, but they are really starting to be able to entertain themselves and each other with imaginative games and giggling races. Now - just because they can entertain themselves does not mean that they always choose to do so. A lot of time is still spent fussing and whining in our home. Sigh.
What are you up to this week? Hope you're having a happy Monday! Linking up with Hannah for Currently.
Your kitchen table looked very much like mine looks all the time. What is it about a flat surface that attracts ALL THE THINGS??
ReplyDeleteAlso, just peeked over to your Etsy shop! So many cute things. I'm hoping to do a holiday gift guide this year too. So many fun things out there :)
It's so sad - every flat surface in my house has looked like this lately!!
DeleteThanks so much! :)
