Intentions for the Week

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Intentions for the week – week 38 of 2020

Happy Monday, friends!

Yet again, another weekend that flew by too fast. My weekend started with an art date and ended with a dinner at my Dad’s house with his girlfriend. Other than that I did a bunch of stuff around the house. There wasn’t much we could do outside the house because the air was so bad here. I spent the time getting rid of stuff and organizing. I cleaned up my office and did meal prep! YAY! I need to get back in check with my healthy eating habits and this is the perfect way to start back on the road to health. It’s one of my Intentions for the Week!

My Everyday Life Week 37

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 37

This week was pretty stressful! The air here in the Bay Area has been horrible due to fires. We woke up to orange skies. We woke up LATE because of it. 

I didn’t get to spend much time outside.

But when I did, I just checked on my plants.

I’m waiting to harvest seeds from these zinnias and the colors they turn before they dry up are so pretty.

Having a working irrigation system has made such a difference this year.

Afternoon snacks.

Intentions for the Week

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Intentions for the Week- Week 37 of 2030

Happy Monday, friends!

It’s Labor Day here. The weather is hot and we are staying at home. This weekend we laid low and did stuff around the house. My brother-in-law came to help us with a project so it was nice to have someone new around here!  It’s super hot here…It’s the kind of hot that makes you not feel like cooking. We have a 4 day work week ahead of us and I’m hoping to drink enough water, get some exercise and write down what I am eating in my food journal. It helps me stay on top of how I’m feeling…which I haven’t been too good about these days.  Let’s take a moment and write down our Intentions for the Week, shall we?

My Everyday Life Week 36

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 36

Seed harvesting reminds me that death brings new life, in another season.

Snacks from the yard.

Still plagued with smoke here.

The deer are skinny this time of year.

My brother-in-law spoils us with the produce he grows. Thanks, James!

Currently August 2020

Currently August 2020

August- birthday month, drove home from Los Angeles, pandemic still happening, fires, I turned 41,  went through a few grief waves because BIRTHDAY, library books checked out (FINALLY!), working from home with husband and child has been interesting, mornings in the yard keep me sane, vegetables ripening in the garden, pops of orange and pink zinnias out the window, wore overalls mostly for the pockets, dog snuggles, cat snuggles, art with friends,  sad goodbyes to another group of friends who are making the exodus out of California, took a reiki training workshop, school started and we stayed away from the public as much as we could and stayed healthy. 

I spent a lot of time working in my Currently Workbook this month. It really helped calm my brain and reduce my anxiety. 

I’m going through a collage phase. I’ve been using photocopied clip-art from an old book and pasting things down with mod podge.

This sticker book is totally my favorite!!!  —> The Antiquarian Sticker Book I used it a lot for the pages.
