Hi friends! I hope everyone is hanging in there. Although my heart feels so heavy knowing what the world is going through, we somehow, simultaneously, have been finding so much joy in this downtime.
How are YOU doing?
Here is what is bringing me a lot of light lately:
1. Jenna Kutcher Podcasts. She always lights fire under my ass to do more with my company. I need the push, so I’m feeling grateful for her!
2. At home self-care. I pretty much have a home spa at this point and I am LOVING it. Linked below are some of my favorite recent purchases.
3. Running. I have been running a few times a week outside and I’ve never loved an exercise more. I’m sure our circumstances are making the little things stand out, but I can’t tell you how much life my runs are giving me. Mind you, I probably only run a mile before I walk and then run again (ha!). Regardless, just being outside, moving my body, makes me feel so good.
4. Healthy cooking. We have been eating better than we have in years and it feels SO GOOD. Not always feeling so rushed has given us a chance to be more thoughtful and really enjoy what we are eating. These are my two new favorite recipes lately: 20-Minute Honey Sesame Chicken + Spiced Chickpea Stew.
5. True Family Time. Parker comes into our room every morning to snuggle (I have already been up and reading for at least an hour by then) and we stay in bed as long as we feel like it. We all sit and eat dinner at the table together. We take evening family walks together. We play games and have long conversations. We’ve seen such a positive difference in Parker through all of this, it’s really been incredible.
6. House Projects. Gardening, painting, organizing, decorating, you name it… we feel so grateful for this house of ours during this time! I’m thinking of doing a home tour next week- what do you think!?
Ok, and now for some links this weekend… If you all want me to share more links, please let me know! They take awhile to put together, but I clearly have more time on my hands at the moment ; )
Happy weekend! xx
