Intentions for the Week

Hello friends!

It’s MONDAY! Yet, again. How are we feeling today?

This weekend we ran errands, hit up an estate sale (got some neat things!), had 6 boys and adults over, an art playdate and much needed time in my office sorting papers. WILL I EVER CATCH UP ON PAPERS?!! (no). I am trying to streamline life as we head into the school year. That means I am trying to find a place for everything and put everything in its place. Also trying hard to do as many things ahead of time as I can so I have some down time in the week. Bottom line: I AM TRYING.

If you’re going back to school this week, here’s a post I wrote to help you get your head in the game!

Last week I shot three recipes for One Potato and my kitchen went through the ringer! I am hoping to spend some time doing some deep cleaning things like sort out my fridge and clean through the freezer. It’s amazing what will pile up if you don’t pay attention closely. Let’s take a moment and get our intentions for the week down!

Get Ready for the New School Year!

If you’re a parent and you have kids in school, you’re probably starting the whole school routine process right now.

Insert an AHHHHHHHH here ____________.

If you haven’t started yet (it’s still August!), then enjoy every last bit of the Summer! (lucky)

But really, who else loves a Back to School Shopping List?

They’re kind of my favorite thing about school.

Today I’m sharing some of my favorite posts to help you Get Ready for the New School Year. ENJOY!

Intentions for the Week:

Hi Friends!

It’s Monday night. I’m home from our trip (you can see more of that here) I usually write these lists Sunday night but we were away and so my brain thinks it’s Sunday. We are slowly unpacking tonight. SLOWLY. I’ve already gone grocery shopping, gone through the mail and cuddled cats. They’re so happy we’re home. I AM SO HAPPY WE ARE HOME! There’s nothing like a trip away that helps you appreciate your home routine. Also, really happy to be reunited with my bed and my foot massager (I missed it!!)

I have a lot to get done this week. We’re also going to try to adjust to a new schedule because SCHOOL STARTS FOR MY 4th GRADER!!!

Let’s start with a list. Here are my Intentions for the Week!
