Here’s what’s been up this week:

Despite utter exhaustion, there’s lots of baking happening, recipes coming soon!

Trying to read more, pray more, and rest more.

Skipping lunch in favor of fruit and tea, every day.

Enjoying home grown food.

Practicing finger foods and resisting the urge to have everything spotless all.the.time.

Trying to learn how to handstand.

Drinking my favorite coffee ever.

Enjoying the last day of beautiful weather before the snow came

Enjoying my Market Collective purchases and celebrating a fantastic new local magazine.

Protecting the tomatoes from the snow.

Marveling at snow in September.

Strolling through IKEA to distract us from teething.

Learning a life lesson: Never be without children’s Tylenol.

Here’s to another week of enjoying the moments and finding joy in simplicity.

What’s Up

Posted on September 4, 2014 by Ashley

I read quite a few blogs and there’s a few that do a bit of a round up weekly about what’s going on in their day to day lives (Elise Cripe, Ali Edwards, A Beautiful Mess to name a few) . Those are my favorite posts, so I’m doing my own version.

Here’s what’s up:

We’re taking lots of walks to distract us from short naps and new teeth.

I’m also drinking lots of coffee to get me through.

I’m starting to organize freezer meals for when I return to work.

We’re eating lots of Portuguese cuisine and for the last little while it’s usually prepared by my husband.

I’m enjoying new plants and fresh flowers given to me as gifts.

Celebrating my birthday, but more importantly celebrating that I have fabulous friends.

I’m already crushing this years goals and finishing projects.

Ezekiel is running in his walker, learning animal noises, crawling under the coffee table and getting into everything.

It’s been a busy week and I’m so thankful for each moment.
