Intentions for the Week

Happy Monday!!

We had a pretty busy weekend with company and basketball! Made a quick cheeseboard, garlic rolls (from pizza dough in the fridge), Mom’s green salad and baked pasta.

We still have some wine glasses to clean up! Oof.

Yesterday I got my head in the game by doing #shutterbeanmealprep!

This is what I have in my fridge to work from!

Meal Prep this week includes:

Mint Iced Tea
Kombucha
Roasted Delicata
Sausage pasta (recipe soon)
veggie rice (made from leftover roasted vegetables)
croutons (from old bread)
cooked chicken (for salads)
cooked pasta (for lunches)
broccoli + radishes for snacking
hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot

This week my Dad is having surgery (send good thoughts!) and so my brother & I will be making sure he heals OK and is comfortable.

Besides that, here are my Intentions for the week!

Keeping a Sketchbook

Keeping a Sketchbook has become one of the greatest organizing/stress-relieving tools in my emotional toolkit. Even though I spend a lot of capturing my life through my blog via camera & writing, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of putting pen to paper. As much as I love playing around with my iPad and getting into a fun photoshop session, my brain prefers the simplicity and easy access to pen and paper.

What’s the best thing about having a sketchbook?

It doesn’t require batteries to be charged. You just need to make sure you carry enough around in your bag. I always do!

My goal last year was to MAKE MORE ART and if you’ve been around here, you’ve seen how I made art with kids, watercolored, expanded my bullet journal practice, and learned new creative skills all with the help of Skillshare,

The work I put into learning new creative skills in 2018 totally changed the way I keep a sketchbook. I’d like to share with you some of my creative explorations in my sketchbook today!

If you’re not familiar with Skillshare, it’s an online community for learning & teaching creative skills. Skillshare connects expert practitioners with students around the world who collaborate on everyday skills from culinary arts, photography to design.

Skillshare has kindly offered my readers TWO MONTHS free of Skillshare Premium! Thank you, Skillshare!

Intentions for the Week

HAPPY MONDAY!! This is my first Intentions for the Week list of 2019.

I’m wondering if I should keep up this practice in 2019. Is it helpful for you? I know it helps me, but I’m wondering if I should just stick to writing in my bullet journal every week?

This is my current week before I filled it in!
