Visions for 2018
Enjoying the late morning sunshine + the last of my coffee before tackling some work. Then taking is S L O W this weekend -- friends, fire pit and front porch hangs. What are your plans for the weekend?
These two 😍 we took the babes camping this past weekend, and snuggling next to the fire was by far a favorite activity for both me and Isaac. πŸ•πŸ”₯ One night I woke up wedged between the boys with zero room to turn over, and my heart was so full just being there together snuggled in close.
We’re still on the hunt for the perfect couch + rug for our living room πŸ›‹πŸ‘ so I’m pulling out all my favorite inspo. @joannagaines and @thefarmhousemovement as well as @lesleygrahamliving’s Pinterest boards 🀣😍 What are your favorites?? Tell me below!πŸ‘‡πŸ»
Monday meal prep! πŸ₯¦πŸŽπŸ₯‘ After traveling this weekend + with a busy week ahead l, I spent a little time doing meal prep. Made a quick Mexican chicken soup (details in stories!), lemon chicken salad + prepped veggies. Took about an hour plus cooking time + now we’re good to go! πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ˜ β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € Typical lunch for me looks a lot like this: scoop of homemade chicken salad + avocado + @vansfoods gf crackers + apple slices + @spindriftfresh. β˜€οΈπŸŒΏ Bonus points if we get to eat on a blanket outside!
Benefits of (still) not having a couch include birthday slides and ballon piles πŸŽˆπŸ™ŒπŸ» My mama heart turns FIVE this weekend, and I’m full of emotions scrolling through five years of his sweet smiles. Singing off for a family weekend of hiking, bonfires, cuddles + gf cupcakes πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆ Happy weekend!
Life, currently. Changing diapers, kissing cheeks, cuddling babes. Between the baby gear and the cot next to my bed for the oldest, my children have taken over our bedroom! πŸ˜πŸ™ˆπŸ€ͺ In other news our beloved oils are on sale while supplies last! Details in stories for those interested!
Clean house, calm mind. 🏑 I have trouble focusing on work or truly resting on our rest day when the house is cluttered or messy. A bin of toys or a stack of books is one thing, but I need things to be tidy. And in this season of life that is often challenging! So I’m learning to be ok with a *little* more chaos because the alternative is to miss out on some very sweet moments with our tiny babes. πŸ‘¦πŸΌπŸ‘ΆπŸΌ Also, we just sold our couch so this scene is a bit different now and I have total analysis paralysis about how to style the space!! What kind of couch do you have?
Sunday morning coffee on the porch is one of my favorite weekend traditions. β˜•οΈβ˜€οΈπŸŒΏ How was your weekend? We had a fun green cleaning brunch on Saturday and lots of down time after, and its was so lovely!
