It’s only Monday and this week is already feeling a bit “off.” Steve is out of town for work and our schedule is all over the place. We woke up to snow (nothing close to blizzard proportions) and Mabrey and I spent the better half of the morning clearing the front walk and driveway. We managed to squeeze in some creative time. Mabrey is really into watercolors at the moment. (They’re 90% water, 10% color. Hehe.) I am crazy grateful for these little people who remind me daily that life offline is so important. It makes me a better everything.
So I’m writing this post after having put the kids to bed. I’m in my pajamas. Cheetah is curled up at my side. I’m half-listening to her nose whistle and half-watching the Australia Open, trying to stay warm. It feels like home.
A few home-related links in case you’re cooped up trying to stay warm too…
*A thoroughly satisfying junk drawer before & after.
*How to paint stripes on a concrete floor.
*The successful juxtaposition of sleek Ikea cabinets against raw materials.
*Things empty nesters want parents of little ones to know.
To my friends down under, happy Australia Day! To my friends in the northeast, be safe.
