Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 42 in 2022

Hello, MONDAY!

Week 42! Holy cow. How?! This year has gone by so dang fast. It’s insane! This weekend we had some downtime, yard work, a trip to the dump, a high school tour and I went with Neiley to our friend Tammi’s house for a hangout with Corinne! I haven’t done meal prep in a few weeks and I’m itching to. With the One Potato photoshoot and Sunday plans, my schedule has been thrown off. Crossing my fingers that this weekend I’ll be able to do it.

Anywho…here are my Intentions for the week! CONTINUE READING

My Everyday Life Week 41

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 41

Making magic for One Potato.

Behold! A beautiful charcuterie board.

My dining room table exploded with stuff for the shoot.

Same with my kitchen table.

A grief wave is in the works. Thinking of my Mom while making pumpkin pie.

I LOVE LISTS

My coloring book is now in my Etsy shop. HOORAY!

I’ve enjoyed working through the pages of my first draft so much! It’s been such a nice way to unwind after a long day. Now that they’re here, I am looking forward to seeing how you use yours!

Creating a Morning Routine

Today I want to talk about Creating a Morning Routine. Do you have one? Is it working for you? I’ve been working on my morning routine for quite some time and I realize it takes a LOT OF PRACTICE. One of my goals has been to stay off my phone for at least a half hour after waking up. No scrolling on my phone in bed before I have even stood up for the day. That’s my rule!

I know that if I am scrolling first thing in the morning before checking in with myself, it is easy for me to get sucked in and not be present at the start of the day. Checking in to see what other people are doing (on social media) before I check in with myself is also harmful to my mental health. It can inadvertently stress me out and it’s not healthy for me or my child to be in that frantic/stressed-out mood first thing. I am glad I realized this and I am working towards improving our morning routine.

This is how I stay off my phone in the morning.

I take a piece of paper and a rubberband and cover my screen when I go to bed. I suppose I could also make this my lock screen too!

Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 41 in 2022

Hello, MONDAY!

Hello hello. We are in the 41st week of the year. My weekend was filled with shopping for, styling, cooking & photographing new content for One Potato (they’re a meal delivery service! I have done all of their recipe cards). I am grateful for the work and I have some good meal prep in my fridge as a result. I just need to spend a few hours deep-cleaning my kitchen…

I’ve also been working on morning pages (writing in my journal for at least 15 minutes) with a cup of coffee instead of picking up my phone and getting sucked in. I think I need to reread the book- How to Breakup with Your Phone.

I hope to have my coloring book up in my shop sometime this week and if you’re on my newsletter, you’ll be alerted first! xo

Anywho…here are my Intentions for the week! CONTINUE READING
