Starting the Year

Happy New Year! How did you start out the first day of the year? We started out with a touch of snow, which was an exciting surprise since it is winter! I’m in the mindset of if it’s winter, it might as well snow 🤷‍♀️

I was at the grocery store first thing and it was gloriously empty. We were in desperate need of Jimmy and Sadie’s favorite drink: orange juice. I did that thing where I *almost* bought everything I needed except orange juice 😂

Sadie and I got back in the groove with homeschool. We took a little bit of time off around Christmas and it feels good to have school back in our days. It gives us both a sense of accomplishment and normalcy!

Other things from the weekend included bread baking. Just a classic loaf of sandwich bread!

Perfect for making BLTs.

    1. Hahah yes!! Starbucks and grocery shopping is my chill time! It was nice to do it without kids for once 😉

      What a nice way to start the year!! I hope 2024 is amazing for you 🥰

  1. I love all of your pictures SO MUCH! You always capture every event so perfectly (you know my struggle with that)
    I plan to start my near with a more positive attitude – which I sometimes also struggle with. Trying to stay healthy and exercise regularly and eat well- sounds cliche, but they’re all good and important things!! 🙂
    Love you,
    Madre
