Thirteen. Thirteen weeks of four kids back in school for their senior, freshman, and sixth grade years. Thirteen weeks of spending Friday nights in the stands watching our daughter cheer for the last time. Thirteen weeks of five-nights a week golf lessons and twice weekly midday golf matches. Thirteen weeks of five-nights a week tennis… Continue reading charleston
Privilege It’s a hot topic these days. But, in all honesty, everyone is missing the point. Privilege is real – in so many ways. But it seems most focus on the ways in which privilege benefits others without taking a moment to focus on how privilege benefits themselves. Privilege is real in my life…and I… Continue reading privilege.
July. Or, as I like to call it, the Saturday of Summer. It’s the month our family leans into summer full force. This, of course, makes June the Friday of Summer. The kids are fresh out of school for the summer, but there are a few lingering activities. Namely, cheer camp for our Varsity cheerleader… Continue reading the saturday of summer
Happy Wednesday, loves! How many negative thoughts have you had this morning? Hazard a guess. I’ve probably had dozens already, and it’s first thing in the morning. Honestly, it’s so hard not to find negative thoughts creeping in these days. Any day, really, but these days it’s almost impossible not to feel negative more often… Continue reading Bye, Negativity
Sooo…I’m behind with my gratitude posts for the month. Honestly, I cannot believe I allowed two weeks to go by without a post! No excuses. I dropped the ball there, and today I’m catching up in a big way (with the remainder of the month). Can we just talk about how great I did the… Continue reading Gratitude Prompts Days 15 to 31 (oops)
I know, I know…I missed a few days of gratitude this week, didn’t I? Oops! Well, let’s be honest. I’m not perfect, and sometimes things slip through the cracks, and this was just one of those weeks…and it hasn’t even reached crazy capacity just yet! I can’t wait to share more with you guys next… Continue reading Gratitude Prompts: Days 12, 13, and 14
I love when I get to go into a long weekend worth of gratitude…though I wish I had the time to do them all one day at a time! No, that’s not true. I love that I don’t worry about things on the weekend. I focus on having fun, making memories, and living my best… Continue reading Gratitude Prompt Days 9, 10, and 11
You guys…it’s Thursday. That might not mean much, but it means that we are coming up on the most exciting night ever – our first date night outside of the CAR! We’ve been having our regularly scheduled date nights almost weekly during the pandemic, but they’ve been in the car. Like, put the second and… Continue reading Gratitude Prompt Day 8: What You Love Most
How’s everyone doing with their gratitude prompts? It’s hard to keep up with all that needs to be done each day. Some, in my opinion, require a little more thought and a little more time – there’s more to say. Others, still, are quick and easy. This is one of those for you. What’s one… Continue reading Gratitude Prompt Day 7: Personality Traits
As I sit here writing this, it’s still the weekend and it’s early. I have my coffee in my office where I’m watching my husband water the flowers around our front porch. Our hibiscus is growing vibrant pink flowers that make me smile every time I see them. Our gardenia is overflowing with fragrant white… Continue reading Gratitude Prompt Day 6: My Proudest Accomplishments
Happy Tuesday! Today’s gratitude prompt is such a good one, because it’s more of a question than it is a prompt. It’s a little bit more in-depth, and I love that about it. That said, I’d like to go ahead and dive right into this one today. Gratitude Prompt Day 5: Do you actively practice… Continue reading Gratitude Day Five: Do I Actively Practice Gratitude?
Happy Monday! I figured I’d add a quick disclaimer on here; I’m not blog posting my gratitude on weekends…I save those for my family. But, I’ll be adding my additional gratitude for those days on Mondays or maybe Fridays so we don’t miss throughout the month. Does that sound fair? Here we go… Gratitude Prompt… Continue reading Gratitude Prompts: Days 2, 3, and 4
Happy first day of May! And, happy first day of our 31 days of gratitude journaling! I’ve been working on this for a month now. I began working on it when we were somewhere in the first few weeks of our quarantine, and I wanted to get it just right. (Fun fact: I use social… Continue reading Gratitude Prompt Day One: What I’m Most Grateful for In My Life
