Making My Monday

I am not gonna lie. It is taking a lot to rally me on this Monday.

I woke up feeling tired and unmotivated and stressed out and the mood has not shifted.

Maybe my Sunday Fun Day was a little too fun.

But the whole point to this Monday feature is to approach the week with a positive outlook and a happy disposition so here goes:

My dad brought me the white flowers above yesterday for no reason. The best kind of flowers to receive, right? What’s really making my day though is that they are currently perched right in the center of our living room coffee table (where they look best), a spot that has not seen a vase since Kai learned to walk. I am reclaiming my space, piece by piece, and teaching him boundaries while beautifying my house at the same time.

We’ve been very focused on eating at home more in 2012 and while we’re doing a great job whipping up homemade pizzas, tacos and burgers on the regular, we are eating pizzas, tacos and burgers on the regular…so I dove into an issue of Cooking Light over the weekend and am excited to try out new recipes so we can make the “homemade” a little healthier moving forward.

We have finally decided on a theme for Little D’s birthday. Now I just have to get to work bringing it all to life.

I am guest posting here tomorrow. Check it out for my favorite new baby essentials.

A friend sent me this. Talk about injecting a little mode into the mundane. One of those trunks would fit very nicely…on my Christmas list.
