arranging | I have been so overwhelmed by my closet lately. I’m content with my current size, but it isn’t the same size as either of the previous two falls. I emptied the whole thing into my bedroom floor last week and I’m already feeling better about myself. I’d like to whittle it down a little more, but I’m going to see which items I reach for over the next several weeks.
loving | This age with Polly is such fun. I swear every age is my favorite, but I love her being more vocal and independent and hilarious. She is very into climbing stairs and spitting right now (neither of which are cool with mom), so she makes sure to get my attention before she does either. It is pretty much impossible not to laugh.
embracing | Can you admit to embracing fall when it’s still 97* in your hometown?! It looks like we’ll be getting a cold front this weekend, so I’m hoping for more fall-like weather. I’m ready for backyard fires, cozy pullovers, and crunchy leaves.
purchasing | I’ve started making house purchases this week. We are known procrastinators and haven’t quite figured out when the bigger projects will begin, but Josh encouraged me to start shopping last week and you don’t have to tell me twice! I picked up some decor for the little girls’ room, I’m finalizing lighting selections, and getting ready to pick up paint for our first few rooms.
sharing | I was looking back through this year’s blog posts and I’m so sad about how few there are. Even in my busiest seasons, I haven’t neglected it as much as I have this past year. I’m going to try and me more present here — sharing every day life, even when it isn’t exciting — this month.
