Intentions for the Week- Week 16 of 2020

Hello friends!

We made it through another week of school+work from home. HOORAY.  I’m currently laying in bed typing because I threw my back out while gardening this weekend. Womp womp. It’s been hard to be idle today, but a reminder that I can’t and shouldn’t bite off more than I can chew and I should ask for help while moving things. Our friends brought us some ham, I made mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. It was a simple and delicious Easter dinner.  I think I am going to make Sausage Bread this week because it’s the time of year my grandma used to make it. 

This week Cooper is on Spring Break. We were supposed to go on a family trip to the coast, but we’re stuck at home. We’ll try to make an adventure of it somehow. We always have a list to refer to…

This time is so weird. Not checking in with my calendar has been jarring. Some days are easier than others. Some days have been downright hard.  Starting each morning with a list really helps. Let’s sit down and write down our Intentions for the week, shall we?
