Happy Monday, friends! Another week into this year. We are on week 20 of 2018! Every week I have this whole routine of going through My Everyday Life photos from the year before. This is the time of year when the deer on our hill are giving birth and the flowers are blooming all over the place.

Yesterday was Mother’s Day and I got exactly what I wanted. A clean house (my boys cleaned!), time to myself, gardening time, and takeout for dinner (we had Chinese) because Mama doesn’t want to cook. My Dad joined in the fun. It was a good day!  Now I’m settling into bed, gonna watch more of Friday Night Lights (we’re going through the series again!) and folding laundry. It’s a wild night!

You know the drill, here’s where I spell out my Intentions for the Week so I know what’s up in my brain.

Hello Monday! Another week in the game. How are we going to spend it this week?

Hustling. Focusing. Dreaming. Scheming.

This weekend was filled with photo editing, recipe testing, baseball and an open studio visit with my neighbor. As a result, I have a bunch of stuff swirling around in my brain. There’s a bunch of stuff to get on paper. Emails to write. Stuff to cram in and get done this last month before we have Summer…camps…LIFE. AHHHHH. Ok, Monday. Let’s take a deep breath.

We also have baseball and so many other little moving parts this week. I am so glad I have this Sunday night ritual of getting my head in the right space to tackle the week. Let’s spend a moment making a list! Here are my Intentions for the Week.
