Here’s what this past week looked like My Everyday Life Week 5
We adventured!
Checked out the Marin Civic Center and marveled at the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.
I can’t wait to watch Gattaca with Cooper.
It feels like a dream.
Like stepping into a time machine.
It’s so cool to show places I went to as a kid with my kid.
Completed the first month of my food journal!
It’s the last day of January! How was your month? Mine was filled with ups and downs.
Ups: Sold a bunch of food journals/tracked food in my food journal/ feeling healthier + lighter as we start 2019!
Downs: doctors/hospitals/health stuff/send good thoughts
This month was busy getting over 1000 books out into the world. Thank you for all of your orders. It means so much to me that you are joining me in this creative practice.
I told you that I would be working through my Currently 2019 Workbook this year and here it is!
Happy Monday, friends!
I can’t believe this is the last week of January. This month is breezing by! I am going to be spending time working in my Currently workbook this week. Did you get one? I can’t wait to see how everyone uses theirs. It’s been so rewarding to see people working through their food journals via Instagram. Thank you for tagging me and sharing! I love it so much. The accountability of this project has been big for me and I have YOU to thank fo that.

How was your weekend? We went to a crab dinner in the city. We had basketball. I spent Sunday working around the house, working on orders and getting everything setup for the week ahead.
Cleaned out my fridge and turned leftovers into this!
Let’s start the week with a new list. Here are my Intentions for the Week!
Here’s what this past week looked like: My Everyday Life Week 4
This tree caught my eye. Made me stop my car, turn around and park.
My car battery died. TWICE.
I met a nice woman named Maggie who helped me jumpstart my car in the parking lot of The Container Store. We had a nice discussion about the ridiculous amount of flavors they make for Cheez-Its now. Thank you, kindness of strangers.
Also, my friend John helped me out when my battery died again at the gas station. Forever grateful!
Pulling cards.
Making notes in my sketchbook.
Sometimes when people order a Food Journal for a friend, I write their personalized notes for them.
I love seeing how thoughtful people are.
My name is Jonas.
Family dinner at my Dad’s! We ordered Souvla takeout.
I wrote it down!
Almost at a full month of writing down my meals in my food journal.
It has helped me lose 5 lbs. this month. The best part is that I didn’t diet. I was more mindful of what I ate when I was writing it down. I am more engaged in writing down what I eat when I make it fun. Using my favorite pen
Burrito Bowls with quinoa for my meal prep.
I’ve noticed that my day of eating is usually better when I have a bigger breakfast.
This is my Mom style.
Tunic from Gap.
Shoes are Sketchers. They’re super comfy.
Bag is from Etsy.
I tried on a jacket at Anthropologie that reminded me of my Mom.
Cooper ran to me and told me, “MOM COME INTO THE OVER ROOM AND LOOK AT ELLA!”
Lil derp.
Regal Rosie.
I can make Ella a bed out of anything and she’ll sleep in it.
Sunbathers.
Squirrel watchers.
On their way to get candy.
Snack lunch.
My office was clean for 5 minutes this week.
The light was just right.
Art at thrift stores inspires me.
School project time! It was so fun to see Casey and Cooper woodworking together.
Kinda reminded me of playing in the garage when I was a kid.
Working on orders late at night.
I had just texted a friend a heart emoji and a bear emoji and then saw this!
Don’t trip.
Sausage Soup with two cans of diced tomatoes instead of chicken stock.
I ran out of chicken stock.
Playing around with a Fujifilm xt-3 this week. I’m in LOVE!
I think I’ll start taking more Around the House shots now.
Maybe take better garden photos too.
When I went to pick up some pizza this week the guy complained that the sun was in his eye.
I said, “Ah, golden hour! It will get you.”
“This isn’t golden hour. I’m a photographer. I should know!” he replied.
Uh huh.
Fluorescent gym lights humming at 9am on a Saturday morning.
SPORTS.
Multi-tasking.
Last night was Crab night at Perry & Eileen’s!!
I asked followers on Instagram what they wanted to see more of on Shutterbean when I did an Instagram story this week.
Thank you for all of your input! If you have any suggestions on what you’d like to see more of this year, leave a comment!
on salad + popcorn SO GOOD
Happy Monday, friends!
How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. It rained most of the weekend. My house was cozy! I did some rearranging and purging of unnecessary items in our house. We had basketball and I spent most of the weekend working on shipping and packaging. Thank you for all of your orders on the food journals! Thank you also for your reviews too! It makes me so happy to know that the process is working out for you! I am currently on a roll of writing down what I eat. 21 (!!!) days in so far and I’m enjoying the process. I am definitely beginning to understand how showing up and being present to my life with these little steps HELPS.
To arm myself with good choices this week WHILE cleaning out my fridge, I did some meal prep. I went over to my Dad’s house last night and brought him some stuff for the week. I know how appreciative he is of my food since he doesn’t have my Mom to cook for him! It’s also been really fun to have this back and forth relationship with my Mom’s pyrex dish
Here’s my meal prep:
I have a whole bunch of carrots in the fridge and bananas going ripe on the counter, so sometime in the next week, there will be Coconut Carrot Soup and Banana Bread in my future. There might be lemon chicken or lemon roasted shrimp in our meal lineup this week.
Let’s get down to business. Here are my Intentions for the Week–
