This month, we celebrate our son Emet turning 6 years old. Sometime over the last year, our boys discovered and quickly fell in love with the show Bluey. So it’s only natural that Emet wanted his birthday to be Bluey themed this year.
Emet, as we celebrate your 6th year, here’s a small list of things we love about you…

When I’m aware of the commitments I’ve made and what I’m choosing to focus on are the months I’m the most successful with accomplishing tasks and moving towards my goals.
I wanted a place for me to collect my thoughts, set goals, and keep track of the most important projects for each month. I’m a big on having regular brain dumps. I even have a couple of different versions of a Brain Dump doc in my resources. But I wanted something that provided the space to see multiple things on one page. So… here’s a new Monthly Planning doc.

I love looking back on the holidays and seeing the highlights from the season. It’s fun to see the boys expecting to revisit old traditions each year and experience excitement as we introduce some news ones. We started the Christmas season a bit earlier this year by stringing up our lights outside before Thanksgiving. We had the time, the weather was warmer, and we knew how busy things would get on the other side Thanksgiving.

The annual Christmas card photoshoot. These moments never fail to be incredibly memorable and special. That rush of everyone getting ready with out spilling stuff on their clothes, messing up their hair, or having a breakdown over which socks they get to wear…

Thanksgiving, for us, is a much slower paced holiday. We spend the day before prepping dishes and the smell of food fills our home. I love being in the kitchen with Calvin listening to music while the boys watch a movie or play in the other room…

We started the first few days of 2022 taking it easy because we were feeling a bit under the weather. This meant we didn’t get started on all the things we were planning. Less turning in early and starting before the sun came up and more taking medicine, temperature checks, and resting whenever we could…

It’s Christmas, once again!
Every year I try to put together a new collection of fun Christmas music to help put you in the spirit. This year we’ve been listening to a lot of instrumental / easy listening / light music from the 50s and 60s. There’s something really nostalgic about these songs that instantly put me in great Christmas mood.

When the summer began winding down I thought it would be fun to have an end of the summer party at our home. We’d invite some of our dear friends for grilled food, swimming, and time to soak in the final days of warmth before fall hit. Well…life got busy, deadlines with work approached, and we had to table the idea for an end of summer party…

What do you have in place to help ensure that you're taking the time to rest and recoup throughout the day?
As I get older, I'm realizing how important regular sleep and times of rest are for the well-being of my family. I'm notorious for pushing hard to get things done and at times burning the candle at both ends. The truth is, it really does catch up with you. And taking a few days to "catch up" on sleep really doesn't work like it used to.

I’ve fully committed to homeschooling both of the boys this year. We started last year and I began developing some tools to help keep myself organized - because, honestly, it’s a lot of work. As it is with anything, entering a week of school is easier when you have a plan and way of keeping track of what you’re doing.

One of our favorite family traditions is making cookies for our neighbors around the holidays. We’ve tried a handful of different cookies and recipes. These shortbread thumbprint cookies have stood out above the rest and have become our favorite! Over time, we’ve adjusted and tried different jams and fruits for the filling - so feel free to get creative.

This summer, we planned to vacation at the mountain house that we usually stay at in Boone, NC. There was some last minute conflicts that caused us to adjust our plans slightly. I did a quick look on AirBNB and found a cute cabin in Blue Ridge, Georgia. We've never been to Blue Ridge, Georgia before, but we were pleasantly surprised by how great the location was…

When I was in the process of designing my website and thinking through topics I could write about, the topics of this book became my first blog series. The blog series was intended to be simple and concise, but I had written more content than would be helpful for reading in a minute or two. So I had it in the back of my mind that I would put this together into an eBook of some sort in the future…
