Hello + Thinking Out Loud

Hello hello! It’s been a minute since I’ve blogged. It’s not that I didn’t want to or didn’t have time. I’ve just been exhausted the past week or so. Like I could fall asleep anywhere at any time. I finally felt a rush of energy today, so I thought I’d come on here and share something a little different. A way to play catch up/check in I suppose…

Ok here we go…

Habit I’m trying to break: This one is easy. I’ve been falling asleep on the couch every night waiting for my pump time, and it really messes everything up. I need to either go to bed and wake up to pump or I need to just stay awake and suck it up.

Habit I’m trying to continue: Drinking tons of H2O every single day. When I don’t, I feel it physically, mainly in the form of headaches.

Best experience in November/December (so far): I honestly can’t pick just one. Most days look and feel the same, but I don’t mind that. I’ve loved everything we’ve experienced and am looking forward to a cozy winter.

Getting me excited for winter: The weather! Georgia winters are the best. And after five Chicago winters, I’m ready for a mild one. I often find myself complaining after dropping K off at school about how ‘cold’ it is. But I then remind myself that it could be a lot worse. A LOT WORSE!

Current thing I’m learning to love about myself: My postpartum body. Looks aside, I’m learning to love and appreciate how strong and capable my body is. Not only has it created life, but it’s carried me through a rough postpartum time and so much more.

Current thing I do love about myself: My ability to get shit done. Once I put my mind to something, I have to find a way to make it a reality. Period.

Book(s) I can’t wait to read: Hmmm…good prompt! I haven’t created a 2022 reading list yet, but I know Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown will be on it.

Task(s) I haven’t done yet that’s driving me crazy: I have a list of Awarify to dos that I have yet to tackle. Soon, my friends, soon!

On the docket for this weekend: Christmas day brunch with the fam bam! We’re hosting this year and are just so excited to celebrate with our families and experience this holiday with Kaiden in our own home.

Hope y’all are having a good week so far!
