So it’s been a while….

We’re still here! Why is it so dang hard to blog during the summer? I even enrolled Hudson in summer “school” at a local gymnastics center, just to have a little routine. But still…the summer flew by in a flurry of gymnastics and swim lessons and you hardly heard a peep from me. So sorry my friends! The good news is Hudson wants to be an olympic gymnast, or swimmer, or diver. He can’t decide. And Sadie is sort of obsessed with the music from the synchronized swimming routines. And I just had to google how to spell synchronized. So there’s that. So our summer was well spent. 


This past week was straight up bananas at our house. Jon had the nerve to take off on a week long business trip and leave me alone with two crazy kiddos. AND then he came home on Friday night with presents for the kids and a big old case of the flu. So that’s been fun! Thank God my mom lives next door to help me! 
This is Hudson’s last week of gymnastics summer school and then we have week off before farm school starts back up again!

I hope you all enjoy the last few weeks of summer. I honestly can’t wait for fall. It’s my most favorite time of the year….and I’m totally over the heat of the summer and can’t wait for cozy sweaters and boots. BRING IT!

    How cute are they! Love those Jammies. Summer has been insane. I'm ready for school to start and to settle into a routine. And I'm also over the heat… So over it!

    You sound like me – I've had a terrible time blogging this summer. And I am SO ready for fall! Those pictures of them together are so cute! Also, I am definitely jealous that your mom lives so close; that is awesome!

To manage stress, I try to take frequent breaks, remember to smile and laugh every day, carve out some alone time every morning, exercise daily, and turn to friends and other resources available to me if I need extra support.

Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle with my children. Gentle with my family. Gentle with myself. Gentle with those who believe differently than I do. Couldn’t we all use a little more gentleness? After 8 years of raising babies and a crazy 2020 it’s what my mind, body, and soul needs. And my kids and family need it from me too. Have you chosen a word for 2021? If so, let me know what it is! (and thank you @bluegrassred for the word inspo! I heard her talk about it a few times on @pantsuitpolitics and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Exactly what I need for this year!)
