lately...

...I am...

~ trying to figure out what to do with this enormous Christmas wreath I made a few months ago. It's still hanging in our living room (the tree is gone, at least). 

~ learning to read labels carefully and navigating the (expensive!) world of eco-friendly, locally-made baby products. 

~ having almost as much fun as him as we start to explore pablum, apple sauce and smushed bananas. 

~ nose-deep in my backyard chicken education (with hopes for some springtime chicks). 

~ taking baby steps towards my dream of opening a Pin & Purl Etsy shop. 

~ trying to honour my need to craft. 

~ experimenting with homemade laundry detergent (using this recipe). 

~ trying to keep  up with the mess,

~ trying to do at least one Sun Salutation a day,

~ trying to be kind to myself,

~ kissing those pudgy cheeks as much as I can,

~ remembering to breathe,

~ welcoming the lengthening days,

~ thankful.
