-  i got my hair done. i am working my way back to blonde. brunette was fun for a bit, but it's time to be blonde again.

-  i decided to move my "weekly musings" posts to the blog. instagram (and social media in general) are too loud sometimes. and i really want to bring blogging back. i miss the way it used to be, so why not make it that way again? you can find all the blog posts here (this has been a recurring post for several years). 

-  we went out on my BIL's boat. watching the sunset on a boat is an experience.

-  we met jackson's new teacher for pre-k. he is so excited!

-  i celebrated another year of life. it was delightful.

-  am i parenting from pride or with purpose?

-  ask questions. ask follow-up questions. just ask.

-  getting my driver’s license was a breeze compared to the last time.

-  what feels like abandonment is often sanctification + refinement.

- think outside the box.

-  getting to the root cause of an issue is not only great for physical health, it’s beneficial for our whole wellbeing. when i react to something in a strong way, i have been asking myself why + what am i associating the experience with? it’s so helpful in keeping perspective, especially when the matter at hand is small potatoes.
