Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience
Lately,
I've enjoyed simple things. I'm
happy I've started running again. I had taken a break, and in
all honesty, I missed it. During the week we took out our music bin; filled with a few musical instruments. We were shaking maracas, singing, and dancing. -We had a lovely
time.
Our days seem to be slowing down. A few
days after Christmas, and our schedules are somewhat back to normal. We're
actually going to bed on time. -By the time it is bedtime I'm drained! :)
This weekend; the sky was clear, and the
sun was out. It was pretty out but still a little chilly. We managed to
enjoy some time out at the park.
While at home...
We enjoyed some simple baking and discovered some new recipes. Our daughter enjoyed some time pretend baking in the kitchen. She made us a batch of her play dough cookies. I stood beside her and whipped up some quick cupcakes. She set out her play cookies and made sure her daddy and I didn't eat too much. I've really enjoyed these past few days. -“Do anything, but let it produce joy.” ― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
We've enjoyed art time, dance parties, and music performances by our sweet little one.
Also during the weekend, we cleared out our pantry. Reorganizing, and relabeling a few containers. It was a long process. It's finished, and I feel great! I also took time scrubbing and clearing countertops. It was needed, and in the end, I eliminated unnecessary clutter. -Thank goodness!

And of course...
My husband had the pleasure of
crawling around the house saying- "neigh"; our daughter was on his back yelling, "giddy up daddy, giddy up". If you guessed it, yes he's been playing a horse. –haha. I laughed quite a bit. With
everything slowing down, we're able to really enjoy our time together. I enjoy
these simple, peaceful, and fun moments spent with my family. -“Live today facing forward—with your back on yesterday, your eyes on tomorrow, and your head and heart in the moment.” ― Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway
