    I am loving these Monday posts and have used them as inspiration to start my own weekly to do lists that I make up on Sunday for the week. Now that I am off work until baby #2 arrives I find I am needing to make even more lists just to keep track of my thoughts and goals for the week.

    Just a few things on my list this week:

    Finish my daughter’s preschool application
    Make energy bites (peanut butter cup recipe from minimalist baker)
    Plant mums
    Tackle my pile of library books and read more
    Clean and purge my closet
    Clean and purge kitchen cupboards
    Do at least 2 baby bump workouts this week

    Happy Monday!!

      Ahhh! Preschool application. I wrote mine in pencil and erased like a mofo before I committed things to pen. I photocopied his application and I have it in a file somewhere. It’s really fun to look at see what I wrote about him before I knew what he was like in school/with other kids. We learned a lot about each other after preschool!

    Come out of the packing/moving/unpacking fog
    Recycle all empty moving boxes
    Get everything unpacked (doesn’t necessarily have to be put away, I just can’t look at boxes anymore)
    Start playing around with furniture placement
    Walk to the Saturday morning farmer’s market in our new neighborhood
    Menu plan and gear up to start Whole30 next week
    Drink water, eat something green (stop living off of delivery FTLOG!)

      Wow! You just moved. That’s exciting. New things! New routines! New light. Remember that it takes awhile to set up a home. Take your time and try to enjoy the process.

      I hate getting things notarized….but I also get super envious of their stamp and I wish they would let me stamp…..

    The choice between dance class and hike is a no brainer for me- DANCE! Also, I second your “ugh” about insurance. Isn’t that one of the worst things about being an adult 🙁

    I went on vacation and let me life blow up. SO, this week I intend to:

    – Get back on track with my #100daysofplayingwithpaper project
    – Put away my dance clothes and costumes
    – hang my dance jewelry (hooks and racks on the wall)
    – set up the sewing table in the studio
    – plan meals for the week to use up the TON of vegetables I bought this weekend
    – balance my budget

    Happy Mother’s Day, Tracy. = )

    One of my intentions last week, this week and ongoing, is to blog weekly. I moved from London to Sydney two years ago, have since got engaged, married and am now 26 weeks pregnant with our first baby. 2017 is a year of huge change for me and I feel that having an outlet in the form of a blog is going to help me through, despite being so far from home and the support of my family.

    Have a read, I’d love your thoughts.

    -Pick up items for our office food drive
    -Make pizza together @home instead of going out for date night
    -Figure out what to wear to work event with clients

    Love this list! Also, thank you thank you thank you for reading my mind. I just Googled your teriyaki chicken after seeing it on your Insta-stories a couple times now (I know, I’m a creep). Excited to see it — it looked soooooo good!

    Ahhh. Love love love this inspiration. Intentions of the week. As I’ve been waiting for this to incorporate into my BuJo I started in December 16.
    will start asap with my list and find it cool to compare to the previous week (what did I plan, what did I do instead), as sometimes life gets distracted and it seems this is the kind of focus one need to get back control over “life is what happens when you are making plans”. Thank you, Tracy.
