Thirty days of blogging sounded simple when I first committed to it. Write every day. Share something from the heart. Stay consistent. In my head, it felt doable. But here I am, deep into this challenge, and I can honestly say it has been stressful. Life has been busy on its own and adding daily blogging on top of everything else has definitely kept me on my toes.
A Quick Check In and a Few Favorites From November
Between taking care of the kids, juggling everyone’s schedules, feeding a whole family, tackling the mountain of laundry that somehow never shrinks, and decluttering room by room, finding the time and energy to sit down and write every single day has been a lot. Some days the words flow easily and other days I stare at the screen while someone calls for a snack, someone else needs help, and the baby is climbing up my leg. It is a whole adventure.
But I am still doing it. Even on the days when I feel stretched thin, I show up. Even when the post is shorter than I wanted it to be. Even when my eyes are half closed. I am proud of myself for sticking to it. So far I’ve only used 3 guest posts on days I was way too tired to post. There is something special about proving to yourself that you can do hard things, even with a full house and a full to do list.
So today, instead of a long post, I want to keep it simple and share a few of my favorite photos from November. These are the moments that made me smile and reminded me why I push through the chaos.
While I was cleaning my daughter’s room, I found so many little girly things. Not going to lie, now that she’s more into “not pink” era, I’m a bit sad lol I’m going to put these away. Maybe she will want them for her own kid one day.
Alexander is already 8 months old, and each day I get to see him learn new things. It’s been the best 8 months of my life. I wish I could slow down time, though.
It’s the cutest thing when he wants to play with his big brother.
A few weeks ago, I went to Canadian Tire to check out their Christmas aisle…SO MANY beautiful things. Ended up picking up a new tree (the one from last year was donated).
This dish was absolutely delicious. It’s chicken meatball, and it was my first time making it. I’ve made it twice again since. It’s that good.
Sometimes gratitude looks like celebrating the big things. And sometimes it is as simple as scrolling through your camera roll and remembering the joy tucked inside regular days.
Thank you for following along on this journey with me. Happy Grateful Sunday.
Cheers to day 23 of NaBloPoMo!
