1. Homemade lattes. Ok technically it's coffee because I don't use espresso at home (I'm not that fancy). Still amazing all the same!
2. Essential oils. Peace and calming = heaven in a bottle.
3. Chia pudding. It tastes like healthy tapioca. :-)
4. Organizing. I have accepted that as long as I have littles in the home it will never be perfectly clean. There is always at least one or two areas in disarray... But I have been loving getting Zach's room ready for kindergarten and Julian's room set up- he has now been down there for three days and loves it! It was seriously so fun and he loves his new decorations to look at! Little sweetie :-) Organizing is a process- I am learning to just trust it!
5. Squishy baby legs learning to walk = the best thing ever.
6. Decorating our home. Aaaaah it is so fun! Time consuming, but fun!
7. Not blow drying my hair. I am the queen of buns and braids this summer. In the words of Jen Hatmaker: just, whatever man.
8. Instagram! Is it creepy that I saw a lady at the health food store who is the mom of a girl I follow (who I don't know either). I knew who she was, that she was married with two grown kids, and has dietary restrictions. And she had noooo idea who I was. So aside from that creepiness, I am becoming so inspired by photography and love pretty pictures. :-)
9. Living in the moment. Going off the above statement, I am being purposeful about being present for moments instead if whipping out my phone to capture them every 5 seconds. I love taking cute pictures but want to keep it in healthy boundaries and set a good example for my children of being present and not always in a screen!
10. Nursing. Ju-ju will be 1 year old this month (two days before his daddy's birthday)! We are still going strong and don't see any reason to stop as of yet. I will be introducing him to almond milk shortly once his doc approves, and let him wean when he is good and ready!
11. Getting Z ready for kindergarten! Okay... I think I am more excited about it than he is!! It will be bittersweet and I know I am going to cry on his first day, but I'm so looking forward to him being in such a great school system and making friends and that we live so close to the school and that I can be so involved! *breathe* We changed his room all around, put the big bed in his room (which he loves) and have hooks on his walls for his backpack and coat and put his desk by the window... Aaaand got all his school supplies! Kindergarten here we come!!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from this summer:
