:: I'm so pleased with the early morning light. It will continue to darken of course, but for now, beautiful mornings.
:: Time to hunker down and further ritualize the dinner hour. Making it as lovely and magical as possible will help motivate me through the darkness outside my window. Perhaps a new playlist or two...
:: Tired but satisfied after a weekend with four soccer games and helping my parents pack up their home of 34 years. Packing resumes this afternoon.
:: Happy to be staring at a new to me stack of Everyday Food back issues. The only thing I took from my moms (wait, there were two tote bags too) during our first day of packing. Not bad, I will not bring a whole bunch of stuff into this house...
:: I read somewhere (Denise, was it you?) about a mom that gives her kids back issues of Everyday Food (appropriate to the current month) to plan the weekly dinner menu. I'm going to try that for the next few weeks and see how it goes, I like the idea. May need to boost it up with extra veggies and whole grains though.
:: I have one sewing project to complete; recovering a particular chair that has been waiting for six years now! Other than that I'm declaring the sewing room closed until after the new year. Focusing on other projects for the next few months.
:: Feeling grateful for a husband who coached my girl's soccer team through an undefeated season. (Not a simple task to coach fourteen middle school girls.)
:: Been reading through my old herbalist course (Rosemary Gladstar) lately. Something that draws my attention every spring and fall.
:: So in love with the familiar comfort of chamomile tea right now.
:: I believe that Pinterest is the very best filing system ever.
:: Feeling like I need to step up my game this month, fantastic deadlines will be here before I know it!
:: Realizing that my parents' move to the Canadian border means we'll finally need to get those passports. (Gone are the "friendly border" days of my youth.)
:: Ready to start a new week, I'm such a fan of Mondays.
