for right now....

for right now aydan is on spring break. busy busy busy.

for right now we are just finding our groove and routine in our day to day.

for right now we are still riding the high of aydan's report card.

for right now we are still struggling with the kids diets and their willingness to try new foods - aydan more than coop.

for right now we are completing mini updates in the house before we focus on the outside.

for now we are saying goodbye to the outdoor rink - he served us well and two munchkins learned how to skate.

for right now no matter how hard i try it never seems that the house is clean (put away).

for right now i am staring at our sun-soaked backyard planning the cook's garden i want to plant - once the enormous amount of snow melts.

for right now i am trying bit by bit to complete the many projects i have on the go.

for right now i am channeling all my inner patience and calm to help with the vibe around here - the husband might argue with this one.

for right now i am, now & again, planning a tea party in my head for a little someone's 6th birthday.

2011 | the year of doing.

i have been playing along with ali edwards and her yearly project - one little word - and from an earlier post you can see that i have selected chef as my 2011 goal word. i also have another, a secondary word that has been on my mind and keeps popping up on me. it's on my mind, in my minds eye and i see it everywhere. it's guiding me. showing me what kind of year, home, life we should have for 2011. it's following me, talking to me, stalking me. my home is speaking to me through this word and i can't seem to get it out of my head. it's pushing me around and helping me to become balanced.

after a bit of a fight and thought on my part i have decided to embrace this word - philosophy - as well and do something with it. the word is doing.

this is the year of doing. finishing. getting it done. i have so many projects, thoughts, wants that need doing, finishing, and this is the year i am going to accomplish it.

fingers crossed.
