a thoughtful friday

{a few pictures from this morning from their life}

some random thoughts on this sunny friday morning...

1.  having two nights in a row of Brie sleeping through the night is the most precious gift. i hope this is a sign of change.

2.  i finally found the energy to tackle the 4 laundry baskets that have been sitting in my bedroom since tuesday. yes i despise laundry.

3.  i am on day 11 of the 17 day diet, cycle one. i am really enjoying it and find it very easy to follow. so far i am not sure on weight loss, as i am a scale free home, but i do notice big changes happening. i feel great, more energy, no stomach problems, no bloating feeling after eating, and yes my clothes are looser. ya! weekends are hard though, send me strength.


4.  Ashlyn starts swimming lessons this weekend, and she has been wearing her new bathing suite around the house in anticipation.

5.  our homeschool decision has set a buzz into our house. we are busy organizing and preparing and letting Ashlyn lead the way. she wants to learn about dinosaurs, so that is where we are starting. 

6.  i am trying to figure out my photography future. trying to figure out what i want to shoot and how often. making sure i am able to still have income each month to help my family and still have my family come first. i think this is going to be a continual work in progress.

7.  spring cleaning at the oakenfold house has begun. everyone in my family things i am crazy, especially Ashlyn who doesn't like change too much.

8.  i love my daily chats with a good friend. they always lift me up and leave me inspired. thank you.

happy weekend everyone!
