taking some time to reflect upon my week…
:: i’m hooked on black teas lately…wanting the boldness, and needing it sweetened…like a treat each morning
:: slow mornings…the kids and i curled up, reading
:: sibling arguments…also the togetherness…whittling and a secret project on which i’ve not yet been briefed
:: peanut butter cookies
:: tired (and impatient) the other night as i was getting our pup into her crate for the night…she went to her water dish first (i sighed)…i listened to her lapping the water (i softened)…it’s like listening to a horse munch hay…i find the sound satisfying and sweet
:: a personal project on which i’ve long procrastinated…something clicked…i got to work
:: homemade pizza with the kids
:: fretting…then seeing that things played out as they would have played out anyway
:: an autumn walk with my favorite girl…she likes girls’ walks…i like them too
and how was your week? i hope the challenges were interspersed with gifts.
sending a little love your way, m

things are starting to click here. many times i wait for that – rather than pushing.
am substituting black teas for coffee this fall (i grew up on tea but my spouse is a coffee-drinker and the scent is so enticing but i’ve been wanting to go for something more mellow lately..)
I’m interested in your project! Hope you are making great strides. I love green tea and black tea now tastes strong.
my week was challenging, that’s the only way to put it, but it ended with relief. have a great weekend xo
I have been drinking gallons of chai sweetened with honey and almond milk, it really is like a special treat each morning…noon…and evening.
Now I think I need to go bake some peanut butter cookies :)
Have a great weekend.
“i hope the challenges were interspersed with gifts.” What a great way of looking at things, M! Yes, yes it was. xo
Challenges…good way of putting it-my week has been a challenge-but looking for the small things to carry me through. Xo
Ps…love that red leaf shot.
I am solo parenting this week, which is awesome. Take out food, leaving the laundry until the end of the week, and long – leisurely naps. Heaven! I love what your week looked like both here and on instagram. xo
Just wanted to stop by and say I love reading your posts even if I don’t comment often. xoxo
