Today

Outside my window… listening to my neighbors get silly and liquored up (just like every night lol)

I am thinking… that it feels so amazingly good that no one needs anything from me for just a few minutes. Sometimes I wish I had a few more minutes a day like this.

I am thankful for… so many things! My awesome in-laws and all their myriad ways of being incredibly generous and sweet, Tim for helping out so much around the house and being so understanding when I have a bad day, my beautiful wonderful baby girl, and all the possibility in front of me.

From the kitchen… Steaks and Pierogies

I am wearing… My mommy uniform (yoga pants and a t shirt)

I am reading… Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman- super cool and seriously don't know how I missed reading him all these years!

I am hoping… for a full night of sleep, and that Kat's teeth would come in soon and give her some rest!

I am creating… layouts for new kits from my designers- Faith, Amy, and Pretty Scrappy to be specific

I am praying…for some peace and some stability- someday lol

Around the house… balls, blocks, toys and laundry that needs to be done- tomorrow :)

One of my favorite things…the few beautiful minutes of quiet time that happen on Tuesday night when Kat goes to sleep early, and Tim naps before work. I can have a cup of tea, turn on my girly folk music, and just be in my own skin for an hour or so.

A few plans for the rest of the week… Lap sit and Preschool Storytime tomorrow morning- grocery shopping in the evening, Farmers Market and Lunch with Karen on Thursday- going to movies with Tim that night, and hopefully taking some downtime on Friday.
