Here’s what this past week looked like: My Everyday Life: Week 9
Highlight of the week? Bringing home this collection from the beach.
We had a lot of rain and it was so nice. I like when I don’t have to water my plants.
I made eye contact with several cows this week.
Mustard is wild here.
Elk spotting.
Mental Health day at Driftwood Beach with Lisa.
A reminder that all of the wildflowers are starting to spring forth.
Reminds me of the painting I made in our bedroom.
Welcome to I LOVE LISTS! It’s Friday. Let’s surf the internet together!
– been reading some of this in the mornings. Very helpful
Aaaaaaand we close out another month.
Goodbye, February. You went by pretty fast!
And DANG, we finally got some cold weather here in the Bay area.
The blossoms are popping off in our neighborhood in February and It’s DELIGHTFUL.
Hello there. We face another Monday. We’re here. We’re alive! What were we put on this Earth for? Let’s find out.
I know, I know. Let’s just ease into it. Let the coffee kick in first.
This weekend we went to Home Depot, did stuff around the house (fixed our bedframe) and put up shelves. We rested and then I attacked errands and had my Dad over for Sunday night dinner. Weekends are far too short, don’t you think?
I spent some time Sunday night working on a meal prep:
Fun things we’re eating from a fridge cleanout:
A goal without a plan is just a wish, so let’s nail down some Intentions for the Week!
(read some of this instead

Don’t forget to start the week by mapping out your Intentions. It helps!
Good luck this week. XO
Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life: Week 8
This Saturday I had a helper in the kitchen!
Cooper made Everyday Pancakes!
He put a few chocolate chips in the batter.
Needs haircut soon.
At the nursery today.
I’m excited for Spring!
Found out that we have a blossoming tree in our yard. I chopped a few branches and put them up.
Trips to Home Depot.
Exactly how I feel, bro.
Welcome to I LOVE LISTS. It’s Friday. LET’S SURF THE NET TOGETHER.

Everything Sucks! <—- giving me major high school flashbacks
When was the last time you spent a whole weekend not using your phone (other than using it as a tool to listen to music or take pictures with?).
When was the last time you put yourself in a self-imposed Digital Detox?
My friend Nicole had a birthday. My friend Nicole is a Capricorn, just like my Mom. She was the first person in my life that made me realize that I would have been good friends with my mom if she and I were the same age.
Nicole wanted to celebrate her birthday by going to Wilbur Hot Springs with friends. I said yes to the adventure. Yes to getting out of my comfort zone and meeting new people and getting away. YES TO GETTING OFF MY PHONE and LIVING MY LIFE.
I almost talked myself out of it twice.
But then I changed my thinking.
I said YES to myself.
Because all I’ve wanted since my mom died is SPACE.
Space for my brain to grieve without having to take care of anyone but myself for a weekend.
I wanted to be alone with my thoughts and feelings and the 2 1/2 hour drive up to the hot springs helped.
I caught up on the Talking in Circles podcast. My brain really needed that. It helped get me in the zone to do some deeeeeeeeeeep thinking of what has happened in the past few years.
Three of us stayed in the solar lodge. I got the top loft. It was just the right amount of space.
Communal bathrooms are just fine. It feels like camp life!
