Thinking about
Leaving for the Grand Canyon and Sedona tomorrow. The boys are sick with runny noses, not sure what it’s going to turn into but hopefully nothing. I gave them an epsom salt bath tonight in hopes that it would help get out any toxins they have. I totally suck at home remedies. It’s like I don’t want to use OTC meds but I don’t know crap about anything else. I’m sure there’s some herbal tea and essentials oils that would cure them tonight. I even have books on homeopathy that I bought when I was a motivated first time mom. I just don’t care anymore, about anything…is that normal? They always survive.
Reading
Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams by Mike Dooley. I’m only into the first chapter, but I can tell it’s one of those books that I’m going to devour, highlight from cover to cover, and reread. I saw Dulce Candy post it on her Instagram (I blog stalked her this one time) and she’s big into the whole law of attraction thing like I am, so I immediately looked it up. I read every single night. After my shower, I turn on my little rain sounds and get in bed with my tablet and read. And when I don’t have a book I’m reading, I’m going through previous books and reading everything I highlighted. It’s my favorite time of the day….well, it comes in close to that glorious moment every morning when I have my first sip of coffee. I don’t think anything beats that.
Listening to
My favorite songs right now are:
- Summer – Calvin Harris
- Rude – Magic!
- Fancy – Iggy Azalea
I rock those songs loud when I’m driving. I also have some awesome dance moves that I do in the car when Fancy comes on. Luis always says “Ohhhhh my god, I wish I could unsee that.” JEALOUS.
Watching
Mainly OITNB. I’m almost midway through season two.
Thankful for
Our new car. I feel like my life was upgraded like ten notches. It’s so easy to get the kids in their seats, the ride is so smooth, there’s so many upgrades that my previous car from 2003 didn’t even come close to having, there’s so much more space, the new car smell…ahhh!!! Now when I drive our other car, I’m like “how did I survive in this thing?!”
This Week’s Goals
- Have fun on our road trip. That doesn’t sound like a very hard goal but when traveling with little people it’s easy for me to forget that I just need to relax and not worry about things going how they “should”. They’re not going to go how they should so I’m not even going to have my expectations up. But that doesn’t mean that we won’t have an awesome time.
- Get back to my cleaning schedule. And stick to it. I use the one by Michelle Lea, it’s perfect!
- I have a new challenge I’m giving myself everything month or every two weeks, not sure yet how long it will take me to complete but I’m picking one thing off of every board on my Pinterest and assigning it as a to-do on a secret board. I pin so much crap and never do it. So right now I have a few recipes, crafts and DIY, and an outfit and hairstyle I’m going to be trying. Woot!
What are you up to this week?
I'm loving "fancy" right now too and I am certain Louis is totally jealous of your dance moves 😉 Those cleaning schedules are incredible, I like to set a goal to be better at cleaning (I'm the WORST) but I just know I wont stick to it. haha!
Hahaha yes he is!! Yeah I know, I can go several weeks and be awesome at sticking to my schedule and then it's like MONTHS of haphazard cleaning lol.
I love your new car!! What is it?? Also, OITNB is so addicting! And lastly, have fun on your road trip!! 🙂
Thanks! It's Hyundai Santa Fe Sport! I'm in love! And yes, that show is soooo addicting. Even my husband likes it!
I need to implement that cleaning schedule. Seriously. I was just thinking that I need some sort of organization so I can keep up, and that is absolutely perfect!
Yes, and that one is the best one I've tried yet. I feel like my house is under control all day long if I actually stick to that schedule!
Let me know when you finish OITNB and what you think – I am done with season 2 and loved it!!
Will do!! I can't wait to finish it! Everyone is saying they loved season 2 so I'm excited.
Yay for road trips! I hope you guys are having fun in Sedona! I love Fancy and I too have dance moves. I make Little A dance with me in the car and she loves it! She waves her hands in the air like she just don't care. ;)What is OITNB? Am I totally out of the loop? We're watching Game of Thrones right now and just started season 2 last night. That show is a bit ridiculous in the nudity area, but a good story line.
Hahahaha I'm sure your moves are awesome too. I also make Piggie dance, we totally get down. Hahahaha that's so cute, I can just picture you guys gettin crazy to Fancy!Orange is the New Black, that new show on Netflix that everyone is obsessed with. I also was late to the bandwagon on that one. Oh Game of Thrones is like our favorite show ever. Sucks that the seasons are short and you have to wait a year for the next season! And yeah, the nudity is over the top, we're always like "ooookay, wow" lol.
I need to get on a cleaning schedule so bad! I think it will just make life so much easier, not having to stress about things getting too out of hand!
Yes, totally! When I ACTUALLY stick to my cleaning schedule, my house feels soooo much more under control.
Love your idea of doing a Pinterest project every two weeks…I really need to do this too. So many things pinned and I never do them!
Yes!! I hope I will actually follow through and DO them lol!
Hope the boys feel better fast!I am also going on a road trip this week. And it is totally a goal to enjoy it and relax during my short vacation, because goshdarnit, I need that badly.I need a chill pill!
Yes, I hope you enjoy it and relax too! Much better that way! And you especially deserve it! And NEED it!And chill pills…pass em around.
yay for a new car! hope the epsom salt bath worked and the boys are better for your trip!!
Thanks Whitney!
Sounds like a pretty awesome week that you have planned. We watched all of Orange is the New Black within a week of season 2 coming out on Netflix. So darn good.I have a TO DO board on Pinterest – and a Pin There, Done That board too.Thanks for sharing! Have a great vacation! I hope those boys recoup quickly.xoxo
Man, most of my friends watched it the first week too. I'm watching it with hubby so it's only when we both have time at night to watch it. I want to finish it sooo bad!Oh good idea about the Pinterest boards! I should do that!
Thats a great little task you have, I need to do that too with my pinterest stuff! I never get around to do anything I pin 🙁 Also, I love the new car! I need one soon!
I know, I have about 5,000 pins I've never even tried lol. Thank you!
