I’m going to make everything around me beautiful~ that will be my life. -Elsie de Wolfe
So it’s been awhile since I have blogged. Life just gets busy sometimes & what I have learned is you can only do what you can do. So I had to take some time off from blogging. A few things that have kept me occupied… My kids and I spent a week serving at Pineridge Reservation. It was beautiful, eyeopening and gut-wrenching all in one. I will be dedicating an entire blog to share our experience there. The above sunrise picture was taken there. My kids started new chapters in their lives I know have a Junior in high school and a college Freshman- yikes!! I got a puppy!! Which is pretty much like having a newborn baby. It’s a mixture of fun and exhausting all in one!! My position at work has changed and increased in hours- I absolutely LOVE it, but time consuming 🙂 Trying to keep up with my workouts!! I was in a super fun Crossfit competition recently. Also I’m trying to enjoy life as much as possible! My life has so much beauty in it. The people that I am surrounded by really make my life so lovely.
My meal planning has been not so great recently. Sitting down and blogging about it really helps me stay motivated. My schedule has changed a bit and I am working a lot of evenings. This makes meal planning a little different. It does require more planning, or else I end up eating cereal for dinner. My meal planning this week will only be 4 days. I have something really fun happening this weekend that I will share with you next week 🙂
