This was a rollercoaster of a week. Highs and lows in every area. The weather (sunshine! rain!), work (wins! fails!), personal (good days! bad days!). I’ve never been so grateful for setting my intention for the year to take things one day at a time. Honestly, I’ve been waking up each morning with a fresh…
A mix of the pandemic and the winter and then the first trimester of pregnancy has left me feeling depleted. I’m not even really overwhelmed… I’m just drained. I had a little bit of a breakdown recently where I realized I was at the very end of my rope. I think it was a mix…
A short, but good, month for reading. I’ve maintained my goal of reading every single night still. Some nights it’s really just for a few pages and other nights I feel myself getting sucked into the story. But it’s the perfect way to step away from the screen and tell my brain that it’s time…
Crazy that this is already the fiftieth Diary post. They’ve turned into some of my favorite to write… and to personally go back and revisit for the memories. We had a nice Valentine’s Day at home! We usually don’t do anything, but because we’re at home we thought it would be fun to do something….
This was one of the best weeks I have had in a while. We had some glorious, glorious sunshine and hearing the snow melting brought me an immense amount of hope. It felt like our whole neighborhood came alive again. So many people out walking around and getting fresh air. We have some rain heading…
I had another post scheduled for today but goodness it is so lovely out right now (I’m writing this on Wednesday!) that I had to change gears. First of all, I think I have exited the worst of the nausea stage of pregnancy and I feel like the fog has cleared. I almost don’t even…
So I ordered this sweater because I loved how cute it was. I definitely have too many grey sweaters… but I just love them! I somehow missed that it’s reversible. In fact, I didn’t realize it was reversible until I went to do this blog post and pulled up the landing page. I totally would…
My jeans are officially feeling uncomfortable. I’m in this awkward stage where my jeans are tight but my bump isn’t really big enough for maternity jeans. It’s also (still) cold and snowy and we (still) have nowhere to go. So… lots of leggings this past week!! Keeping it really, really real. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I…
Don’t get me wrong, I have been indulging this year. Mostly because I felt so nauseous all day, carbs were my best friend. I finally feel like I can eat normally and I’ve never been happier to consume all the fruits and vegetables. Cucumbers and bell peppers have been my go-to afternoon snack lately. I also…
