baking | I really love to cook, but I'm not much of a baker. If you need some tried and true paleo recipes, though, we love this banana bread and these chocolate chip cookies are always a hit! listening | I'm always listening to something good, so this is my favorite kind of prompt. After Anne mentioned it in a post last week, I revisited the most recent Head in the Heart album. It provided a perfect soundtrack for solitary painting in the camper this past weekend. Josh bought us tickets to see them at Red Rocks for our anniversary this summer, so I needed to brush up on the lyrics anyway. I also binged the Up & Vanished Podcast after a friend recommended it a few weeks ago. While not as good as season one of Serial, it was very interesting and seems to have found some ...

The Monthly Report | April
accomplishing | More than I did the first quarter of this year. I'm not sure what prompted an entire quarter of laziness, but I managed to get it together [mostly] in March and I'm hoping to keep up the momentum. I finally sent our taxes off to the accountant, so that's good. On my list this week is tackling all the paperwork. I haven't established a good system since our move, nor have I figured out where I want everything to live. I'm trying to put some thoughts down on paper and establish a new rhythm before the year gets away from me. feeling | Determined. I know it's only been two weeks [eleven days, if we're getting technical] since I joined Orangetheory, but I already feel so much better. I'm sleeping like a champ, so much less bloated, and I'm able to get up easier each morning. ...
The Monthly Report | February
My plan for today was to share the (very) few outfit snaps that I managed during the month of January and invite you to link up. You know what they say about plans, though, right? I just couldn't get that post drafted last night and we were celebrating Josh's birthday, packing last minute items and throwing one last load of laundry in the wash. Let's just flip flop our entire editorial calendar and take a look at our Monthly Report instead. Cool? Wardrobe Wednesday Thursday will be here bright and early tomorrow. Pinky swear! packing | This prompt seems too easy given our current status. How about we call this one packed instead? The girls got carry on luggage from Santa and we liked it so much that we asked him to send a few for the grownups in January. We were hoping to use ...
The Monthly Report | January
January?! What in the fresh heck? After thirteen days of pajamas, movie marathons and breakfasts made to order, we're finally sticking our heads out of the fog and joining the real world again. As I type this, the laundry is all caught up, the girls are already tucked into bed and we have everything laid out and ready for tomorrow. As much as I dread putting actual pants on tomorrow, I'm looking forward to curling my hair and feeling like a human again. I've been trying to work on a new schedule for the blog and decide what posts to keep and which ones aren't as effective. I have a tendency to share multiple monthly recaps but there just isn't a way to consolidate all of that into a single post. I'm excited to add some monthly goals and a progress report into this post each month, but ...
