Currently October 2021

October was equally fun as it was stressful and overwhelming. Going through the ups and downs with insurance and mammograms and biopsy, wiped me out emotionally. On the bright side, I was able to do a lot of art with friends, read a book, participated in a virtual book club. I also got a physical and bloodwork was done so HOORAY for not putting things off.

In October, I participated in a drawing challenge- #theydrawandcook

31 days of food-related prompts! I used part of the template from my monthly calendar (cut it out to make a grid!) and drew a small 1-inch square drawing every day. I LOVED IT! It kept me thinking about all of the foods we eat this time of year.

It also reminded me how much I love making art a daily practice.

Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 44 in 2021

Happy Monday, friends!

I’m super tired this morning from Halloween! Whew! Us parents hung out in the neighborhood, passed out candy at a friend’s house and Cooper went off to another neighborhood to trick or treat with friends. Too bad Halloween was on a Sunday! I got a late start to my Intentions for the Week as a result. But here we go!

My Everyday Life Week 43

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 43

A reminder to take good care of yourself.

Waiting for biopsy results. Growing more gray hair by the minute.

I referred to this mantra all week.

A massive storm brought a waterfall to our hill.

Vanilla Almond Milk Tea

When I’m not having my afternoon turmeric latte, I’m having a Vanilla Almond Milk Tea.

With the combination of your favorite milk (I use Oatly full fat), Republic of Tea’s Vanilla Almond Tea (not sponsored, just love them!), and a bit of honey, you have my new favorite drink. It’s light, fluffy, and the perfect afternoon pick-me-up!

Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 43 in 2021

Happy Monday, friends!

We got a ton of rain (and flooding!) here in the Bay Area. We sure do need it. But we also have a roof that’s leaking so life is getting exciting here. I did some art with a friend, cleaned the house, caught up on laundry, and did some meal prep.
