I'm a bit behind as I haven't read a blog post in WEEKS! I only recently discovered a new meme over at Ali Edwards' blog who lifted the idea from her sister. As I'm also a bit behind in my Project Life, I figure this will serve as a fun little catch-up of my here-and-now.
Here’s what’s on my…
VANITY | Alas, my vanity is still sitting on the floor of Chloé's bedroom. I am anxious for my plumber to arrive and install everything!
PERENNIAL TO DO LIST | Fold laundry, cook dinner, chauffeur kids, make plans, pay bills, schedule appointments, keep schedules straight.
REFRIGERATOR SHELVES | Asparagus, 1% Milk, Perrier, Dijon Mustard, Hummus, Raspberries & Blackberries, Greek Yogurt, Chicken Thighs, Half & Half, Brita Water someone always puts back almost empty!
ITINERARY | Planning summer: overnight and day camps for the kids, family visits, a big service trip to British Columbia for Cole, baseball & softball games and tournaments, our annual trip to Cape Cod, tickets to Stratford, concerts, oh, so many concerts!
FANTASY ITINERARY | A photo walk almost anywhere: Scotland, Morocco, Bora Bora, Scandinavia, Russia, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Turkey, Alaska, so many places!
PLAYLIST | Going a bit retro: Dido, John Mayer, Imogen Heap, Keane and Maroon 5 along with Imagine Dragons, Mumford & Sons, Fun., Jimmy Eat World and Of Monsters and Men.
NIGHTSTAND | A stack of books that just seems to grow and grow!
WORKOUT PLAN | Walk. 2,500 - 3,500 steps 3x each day - every day, without exception. When the weather gets better I'll add in some swimming and biking. When the weight comes off I'll add in some hills.
IPHONE | iMessages from Claire, Cole, Chloé and Caden. Facebook updates. Texts from Beth. Scheduled reminders to get off my butt!!
TOP 5 LIST | Enjoying all that comes with better weather, witnessing my kids grow up, trusting myself - my instincts and intellect, making plans, looking forward to so much goodness.
BUCKET LIST | More
travel. More reading. More daring. More vulnerable. More silly. More family time. More learning. More love. More peace. More trust. More compassion. More embracing good things. More healthy choices. More letting go. More laughter.
MIND | Wanting to get the house d.o.n.e. completely. Plans for Claire to go to University in August. Staying OPEN to opportunities + ideas + people + life. Considering what I want to be when I grown up. Keeping in touch with those who matter. Remembering to breathe.
BLOGROLL | I've not read a blog in the weeks I took a break from mine. Google Reader made it so easy! I think I'm going to use Facebook as the keeper of all my social media links. In that case, the blogs will include: Cathy Zielske, Danielle LaPorte, Marc & Angel Hack Life, Ali Edwards, Brené Brown and Oprah with no more guilt or need to worry if I "miss" a post - they won't mind :)
WALLS OF YOUR FAVORITE ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE | Even though it is currently a disaster, my favourite room is my bedroom. The walls are Benjamin Moore Rusty Nail, my furniture is dark espresso and oyster brown and the linens are bright white. It makes me happy.
LIQUOR SHELF | Cleared off so Claire could have a party a couple of weeks ago. I must think of what to put there for the summer. Probably Tequila and Vodka - maybe some Rum, too. My drink? Sauvignon Blanc found chilling in the fridge.
LAST CREDIT CARD STATEMENT | Flights for Claire & Cole to Montréal and camp fees for the summer.
SCREENSAVER | My reminder to make the best of everything.
TV EVERY NIGHT | I'm not often paying attention. The kids put on what they like and I get to listen to a bit of their favourites: Republic of Doyle, Elementary, The Voice, Nashville.
