2021

How We Spent the First Day of 2021

Our first day of 2021 was pretty relaxed. First things first, I had coffee and read my Bible. Sadie girl woke up with the sniffles and a fever so she stayed in her pajamas most of the day.

She decided to paint her nails on the kitchen table and I decided to document that. She also painted my nails. And my hand. And a little bit of my arm. I got the whole spa treatment 😉

Jimmy was off work for the holiday, so he worked on a house project. He is going to renovate our mantle and fireplace area. I can’t wait to see what he does. He said it’s going to involve steel and a new fireplace! 

I always let him have free rein with house projects because he has much better design taste than I do and it’s a lot of fun to see him use his creativity and skills. He had some help from Sadie and Niva throughout the day.

I went to the grocery store, folded laundry, vacuumed the couches, deep cleaned the kitchen, and did some mopping. It was a rainy day + Niva and Sadie going in and out of the garage made for dirty floors.

I love the way the house feels when the floors are spic and span!

In the evening I started feeling a tickle in my throat and it turned into a full blown sore throat and runny nose by bedtime. ‘Tis the season, huh?

So far, Jimmy is the only one not sick so he is drinking lots of orange juice to up his vitamin c and hopefully ward off mine and Sadie’s germs 😉

How did you spend the first day of 2021?

Currently: January 2021

Happy New Year! My prayer is that this year is great for each and every person visiting this little corner of the internet. If you have any prayer requests, leave them in the comments or email me. I would love to be praying for you this year ❤

Here’s what’s current in my life this month!

Current mood Content. I’m finding so much joy in the place God has me at in life right now.

Current food Chocolate pancakes. Just had a few for breakfast before sitting down to write this post.

Current excitement My brother and sister are both having their second child this year. I cannot wait to meet the new family members ❤

Current fun We filmed a vlog the other day! It includes homeschool, cooking, cleaning, Jimmy hoarding chocolate (LOL) and more. Just a normal day at our zoo 😉

Current books This midwifery memoir, this guide on essential oils, and this Bible study on Hebrews. Sadie is loving Mittens at School and God, You Make Me Feel Special.

Current need New boots. I have a pair of riding boots that are on their last leg. Does anyone have recommendations for where to get a pair of boots at a decent price?!

Current beauty product Lip balm. This season has me stocking my purse, bathroom, and car with a tube so I’m always prepared!

Current cuteness Niva sleeping in our yard. If there’s snow on the ground, she wants to be outside. She often just curls up and does the Siberian swirl (where she uses her tail to keep her nose warm) and sleeps. So cute!

Current baked good Corn bread has been hitting the spot lately.

Current drink Coffee-wise, we’re working our way through a bag of this and my favorite non-coffee drink of the moment is orange juice.

Current craving I really want to go to the National Aviary here in Pittsburgh. I think it will be opening back up soon, so hopefully Jimmy, Sadie, and I can find a day to visit. Sadie was only a few months old the last time we went and I think she would really enjoy it now!

Current fun We went to our church on New Year’s Eve for a fellowship and it was a blast. The perfect way to end 2020.

Tell me something current in your life!
