Hello and completely happy begin to a recent week! How are you feeling this morning? Dragging and drained from the weekend? Revived, energized, and able to hit the bottom operating? Somewhere in between?
I had an energizing weekend. A couple of issues that crammed my cup had been soccer watching with the household (that Friday Miami/Louisville sport was thrilling, after which each GT and Georgia pulled out wins- wahoo!), having fun with our neighborhood Oktoberfest on a stupendous fall night, and spending a wet Sunday afternoon cooking, baking, and watching Halloween films with the youngsters.

Quick tangent: see that wall to the proper of the TV the place the fiddle leaf fig is? What do I do with it? I really like the concept of a gallery wall, however how excessive up would I’ve to take it? Would it look higher with one massive piece of artwork? Or two massive vertically stacked items of artwork? It’s my subsequent residence decor mountain to deal with and I’m stumped.
Speaking of residence decor, I added ornamental gentle plates to our powder room and switched out my taper candle for this cordless LED lamp with three brightness settings. I adored the candle, however with so many youngsters round when we’ve pals over it felt harmful to have a lit candle in there. Instead, this lamp presents the proper delicate glow for early mornings and evenings. I just like the ambiance and performance it presents 48 hours of glow time earlier than needing to be recharged. Given that I solely have it on a few hours a day, that works out fairly effectively!

Ok, tangents over. Let’s focus on this week forward. Today goes to be a get issues accomplished day for us. I’m nonetheless making an attempt to determine our homeschool rhythm with our new co-op construction. The youngsters are sometimes able to dive into their assigned work, so our morning time has been squashed. So I’m pivoting. Our morning time will now turn into our lunch time and I’m fairly enthusiastic about it. The women can hop proper into classes and by the point they’re burning out, I’ll have lunch prepared and we’ll rotate by our morning time actions then. Today which means studying The Hobbit and dealing on the puzzle at the moment monopolizing our eating desk.
Today shall be a get issues accomplished sort of day in our homeschool. I really like having Monday free from actions as a result of it makes it a extremely productive day for us. By Tuesday issues swap into warp velocity and keep that manner till Friday morning. So immediately I’m organizing my week and selecting my prime three priorities. Here’s what I’ve obtained!
- Get outdoors on a regular basis. This is a reasonably simple one to perform with an energetic breed canine, however I need to problem myself to be outdoors past our each day hike by the woods. Each day I’m going to spend a minimum of 20 minutes within the backyard (beginning to sprout!), with the chickens, watering my nearly useless mums, pulling yard weeds, or different outdoors activity. I really like this season; gotta benefit from it!
- Finish my reward guides. Ohh I’m SO enthusiastic about these reward guides this yr. I’ve already spent just a few hours compiling my concepts, however now I’m finetuning them by studying buyer critiques and suggestions to make sure I’m linking to the perfect of every possibility. It’s tedious, but additionally enjoyable as a result of it’s serving to me with my vacation procuring on the similar time!
- Eat the frog on my admin duties. I at the moment have a listing of appointments (dentist, derm) I must schedule, emails I want to answer, and presents I must safe and ship. My purpose is to have these all checked off by Friday. Gosh that’s going to really feel good!
