We were gone for 10 days, and although we had a lot of fun, we are so happy to be home. Getting settled back into your home can be exhausting, on top of already being exhausted from not sleeping in your bed, traveling, staying up late, etc. But these things made me go, “Yep, I love my life.”
- Seeing Green – Swimming in our green pool, which we are trying to get clear, but it’s taking time. It made me reminisce about coming home from vacation as a kid to a green pool and my brother and I going underwater to see how close we needed to be to see each other. It’s still green, but we’re working on it.
- Grocery Run – I filled my fridge and pantry for the week and noticed the bill wasn’t too high. Score!
- This Week’s Soundtrack – Anything Forrest Frank- “God’s Got My Back” and learning the viral dance to “Your Way’s Better” with Quinn was a highlight.
- Reconnecting – Hanging out with our best friends after 10 days away is always fun and a late night.
- Vacuumed and Mopped – A cleaning victory. I vacuum quite often, but to get a mop out or mop on my hands and knees, I tend to push this off. Not this week – I mopped right after vacuuming, making my house feel that much cleaner.
- Egg Hunt – After we got home, I found a duck nest with four eggs in it!
- Author? – Close to it, I just finished approving all the frames for the art in my children’s book! I can’t wait to get it published.
What made you smile this week? Let me know down in the comments!
