The Latest (1.31.24)

I find it harder to post when things are busy but seemingly uneventful. I’m trying to switch my mindset because I think the everyday lives of others can be pretty interesting. So here is a post about all the regular, routine and beautiful things.

Slow days at home:

We spend the most time at home between Christmas and Valentine’s Day. — I’m behind on my reading goal but I’m watching some new TV shows. The Gilded Age and Downton Abbey are both so good! I started Downton after I finished the Gilded Age. Granny Violet and Mrs. Hughes are my favorite characters. I also recently watched Married at First Sight for the first time; and the drama is out of control! I do think Love is Blind’s concept is better though.

2nd Birthday Planning

I almost decided not to do a party this year. It can be a lot and some of the aspects of planning annoy me but I knew I would regret it if I didn’t. So we’re having a little party for my girlie. I recently rediscovered Pinterest and it’s been very helpful.

Getting out of the house !

I like to get outside every day if I can. I thrive when I’m outside doing something. So I like that we have a weekly routine that gets us out and about even when it’s freezing. Someone said, “it’s not too cold; you just need the right clothes.” So I try not to use the weather as an excuse to stay inside. But when it’s just unbearably cold, a trip to the aquarium or even Costco is enough for me.
