“have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”

reading | the spiritual child and minimalist cozy home (have you read either? i am enjoying both) 

accomplishing | the great purge of 2018. one room and one donation bag at a time – feels amazing 

documenting | i am still trying to get caught up on the boys’ baby books . i feel like i need a weekend to do so. i am also trying to capture more simple moments with my polaroid camera

enjoying | the cooler days – i am a cool weather girl and have enjoyed these days a lot lately

anticipating | this will be the first christmas season that parks really understands and it’s going to be magical. every day this week he has said, ‘mommy, it’s christmas time!!’ … in the most excited and tender demeanor.  

spending | lots of time outside: at local parks, on walks, arts and crafts (summer is really hot here so it feels good to explore again…)

cooking | i have been using our instapot several times a week – what are your favorite recipes? 

diffusing | a lot of thieves, orange, stress away and cinnamon 

baking | we baked pumpkin bread as a family the other evening (trader joe’s brand) 

dreaming | about enjoying the rest of autumn and anticipating december days (my favorite month of the year.) i want to savor the rest of this season but look forward to the magic ahead…
