Lately, life has brought on a lot of change, and when change arises, sometimes it is good to take some self care time. So that’s what I have been doing a lot of. I’ve spent a lot of needed time with friends, I’ve been working on furniture (painting, deconstructing), I’ve been doing some antique retail therapy, and I just started exercising again. It feels great to take some time for myself after its been such a looooong time of focusing on this big project of ours. Because when I do take time for myself, the big things in life don’t seem so daunting.
So, to sum up all of the changes, one of the biggest changes that rocked my world, was that I left my teaching career behind. Grant and I packed up my classroom and I officially became a stay at home momma! I am so happy to be staying at home, but it has definitely been tough knowing I will not be going back in August.
Then, I had to say goodbye to my kindergarten bestie because she and her husband moved across the country.
And of course, I’m still dealing with postpartum emotions, and the ups and downs of being a momma. But man alive, do I love my Sadie Bug.
This week, i’m going to continue prioritizing my needs and saying no when I need to, so that I don’t feel completely weighed down with the changes of life and the continual to-do list around here. We are however, getting back into the groove of things and shiplapping a lot of areas. We are also purchasing a roof and installing a couple of sliding glass doors, so that’s where all of our time (estimates) and cash flow has been going. Can’t wait to show you our progress!
