starting a monthly photo series of the kids to serve as title cards in this year’s Project Life using these templates from Paislee Press.
enjoying the extra time at home I’ve had this week due to Liam’s most recent illness (virus turned secondary bacterial sinus infection).
putting the last of the Christmas decorations away.
attempting to unsubscribe from the Madewell newsletter, because they send promotions every day and I’ve been unable to keep myself from buying these and these (but my unsubscribe attempts don’t work for some reason).
drinking cafe mochas.
researching what to make with fresh lemons since my neighbor gave me a bunch she cut from her tree (thinking about trying this).
planning Liam’s birthday party which is in just over a week and thinking: brunch with donuts, bright colors, pocket page scrapbook, easy kids’ activities like blocks and coloring.
anticipating my first half marathon in nine days even though my longest run has only been ten miles.
reading Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel and loving it.
playing Trivia Crack.
feeling really, really good.
From Nora:
As someone who was just told they have a sinus infection this morning, my second in the last 6 weeks which is most unusual for me, I feel your pain, Liam!!!
Trivia Crack sounds fun. I’ll have to look into this.
Can’t wait to see details of Liam’s party and will be cheering you on for the half marathon from afar! <3

From lauren w:
Those are really excellent Madewell purchases. i might need to look into those slippers, let me know how they are in person!
From Holly:
That’s a great idea for Project Life! I haven’t finished my album from last year yet (one more week to go!) so naturally haven’t even started to think about this year’s! Good luck with Liam’s birthday party! I haven’t decided if I’m having one for Ellie or not this year – I’m not a big fan of planning parties!
From Julie:
You can section and freeze and leftover lemons and have a fresh squeeze of lemon juice on hand whenever you need it!
From Stephany:
I just found Trivia Crack this week and I’m addicted! Even though I’m pretty terrible at it, ha. It’s a fun way to pass the time!
From Sarah @ Beauty School Dropout:
10 miles is plenty for a half marathon! You’ll do great. By the time you get to 10, you’ll just have a 5K left. Easy! =)
