Here’s what this past week looked like – My Everyday Life Week 19
Working on produce shots this week for a client.
I was in my happy place…
Playing with food…
I forget how much the colors of fruits and vegetables speak to me.
I was supposed to teach a class in Santa Fe this month but it got canceled due to the pandemic.
I’m so bummed but also grateful to have stuff to work on. I love a creative challenge.

Currently April 2020
April can be summed up into two words.
BACK PAIN.
My sciatica acted up this month after doing a bunch of yard/housework and I have been laying on the floor all month. Actually that’s not true. It’s been three weeks. But, I finally got an appointment with my chiro. Things got better and now my knee hurts. It put a lot of my organizing plans on hold.

The 100-day project started in April. I decided to start hand-lettering things my Mom used to say.
#100thingsmymomusedtosay (on my instagram!)
It’s been a good way for me to remember how to Mom myself and process what’s happening right now.
There were quite a few days this month where I WAS OVER IT ALL. I went out, got groceries, and then sat in my car, in the driveway for about a half-hour until I got out and went back into the house. Being at home feels like Groundhog’s Day. I keep trying to clean my house and it never gets clean. My child will have about 5 outfit changes in one day and will leave his clothes all over the place. We are working hard to break that habit. I’m tired of hearing my voice say PUT YOUR CLOTHES AWAY. But the weather has been nice and we have a lot to be grateful for.
Intentions for the Week – Week 19 of 2020
Happy Monday, friends!
Another week of sheltering in place. We are on day 54 of being at home. Toilet paper supply is dwindling. My house is a mess because I haven’t been able to move (back pain!) much to clean it. We spent the weekend watching more of the Hunger Games series. My brother & sister-in-law came to visit and we spent 6+ feet away from each other on my deck. THIS LIFE IS SO WEIRD. It’s time to sit down and figure out what my Intentions for the Week are. Let’s focus on the things we can control in a time when we feel like we can’t control ANYTHING!

Exciting news! I finally cleaned out my fridge!!!
This is what my mental state was looking like. I am glad I allocated time to do this clean out this week. It made me feel so much better.
Husband loves radishes.

Meal prep turned into a snack dinner.

Intentions for the Week- Week 18 of 2020
Happy Monday, friends!
We’re starting a new week. Cooper’s got school. Husband and I both working from home and managing it all together. We’ve been sheltering in place for 47 days. I’m starting to figure out a schedule somewhat. It was really hard for me to figure out how to shop and cook with all the restrictions we have. I’m used to going to the grocery store more often so it’s been interesting trying to buy enough food for over a week and have it not cost too much because our budget is tight right now. Also, how do I keep up my blog/sharing new recipes when things are kind of hard to come by and they probably will be for a while…and maybe it will get worse? The trickiest part has been fresh produce…so I am thinking about doing some type of CSA pickup. Researching that right now. How’s everything where you are? WHEW.
I did some meal prep yesterday. THANK HEAVENS FOR A CLEAN FRIDGE. Casey cleaned the kitchen yesterday morning and it freed up the mental space for me to do the fridge. One of my intentions this week is to keep it more organized. Wish me luck. Let’s sit down and make a list to get out our Intentions this Week, shall we?
