Instagram post 2275498383611667453_193423677 Grateful for pockets of time where he gets comfy somewhere in the house and reads/browses books on his own. . They say that parenting is modeling a behavior you want for your child to copy. I tell you, it’s easier said than done. Though I’m a reader there are many times Z still rebukes me and tells me “Mom, you’re on your phone again...” Struggle is real, yes? . Something for me to think about and ponder on and shift where shifting is needed. . So just posting this and off I go. Have a lovely Sunday. Let’s all make this day count. . #raisingareader #homelove #minimalistparenting
Instagram post 2274711702679609323_193423677 These photos are from yesterday’s early morning walk. I was afraid Ireland would go into total lockdown so when the announcement was made last night, I couldn’t help but be grateful. . I’m glad we clocked in outdoor time and enjoyed the stress-relieving effect and the physical strengthening that come from being in nature for as long as we were still allowed to. We have made countless happy memories with Z worth remembering in the future amidst a very worrying time. . Our morning walks for the past two weeks had been our lifeline but completely honoring Ireland’s leadership during this tough time. . Hoping and praying that upon Easter, there would be healing and rejoicing. ❤️ . Keep safe, my dear friends.
Instagram post 2271830115319357245_193423677 #thegoodlist - fleece PJ, salty air in our lungs, laughter of a child, this from one of my fave chapters in the Bible: . . “a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing” . #cultivatinggratitude #atimeforeverything
Instagram post 2270434114633264919_193423677 (Crazy) Plant Lady since 2017. ☺️ . This bunch needs either re-potting or soil top up. So, gardening day. The other plants are still good to go. 🍃 #indoorplants #indoorplantstyling
Instagram post 2269434275229438349_193423677 I wrote down in the blog the 6 things I’m grateful for on the first week of lockdown in this side of the world. . Link in profile 👉🏼☺️ . Different opinions are expressed from many directions as of late with many “should’s” we should be doing. I am personally getting weary of these but I am choosing to be grateful instead of ranting, of reflecting on the good sides of this situation we are all in, of giving thanks to the LORD because he is still good and his love for us endures forever and will endure more than the virus. ☺️ #cultivatinggratitude
Instagram post 2268948775104296059_193423677 Our home is my canvas these days. Organizing and styling and simplifying and decluttering. We love baskets here for functional and decorative purposes. What’s your go to decor and storage? ☺️ . I think I might be blogging my whole house if this lock down continues on. 😂 #keepingitsimple #minimalisthome #cozyminimalisthome
