taking stock | september's end

making // big green power smoothies. cooking // big bowls of veggies for lunch. drinking // water, water, water + booch + rich, frothy coffee. reading // bringing up boys + philosophy textbooks + montessori reference books. wanting // to relocate to aspen for the winter. looking // at the dog hair tumbleweeds in my house. i clean them up every few days and they magically regenerate. dogs. sheesh. playing // airplane with ridley and grocery store with elinor. wasting // hair ties. i bought a mega pack so elinor would have plenty on hand for teeny topknots and pigtails. but those little buggers keep disappearing on me. sewing // living vicariously through my mum who is killing it. quilts and projects galore! speaking of, i have a mending job for you when you have a sec... wishing // on the blood moon. not really, but did you see it? how cool, right? enjoying // my quiet time. waiting // for sweater weather to happen. liking // fall CSA boxes. loving // the way ridley links his little arm around mine nuzzles into my collarbone, and grabs my shirt when i hold him. hoping // that i can sneak in a pedicure this weekend. marveling // at the small and sweet blessings that i experience throughout my day. needing // to reorganize my front closet. smelling // amber + patchouli incense. wearing // my super soft lounge pants + my essential v-neck t-shirt + a messy braid. noticing // how much life has changed in the last two years. knowing // my need for fresh manna and mercy and grace. thinking // about putting in a new kitchen sink. feeling // grateful for mama prayer warriors and interesting conversation. bookmarking // all the books. all the web pages. all the catalogues. opening // the windows in the morning. just for a moment... giggling // with my little man. he's such a flirt.
