Isn’t that the word for the year?! I feel like we are all being taught to slow down and simplify.
All last week I was trying to think about what I wanted to share about our week. We had nothing planned. There was absolutely nothing on the calendar. The weather wasn’t great to go out in. It was just kind of…blah.
I tried to think of something we could do together but then I just…stopped. This time right now is unique. And it’s okay that there isn’t a lot of new or exciting things going on. I want to remember this time for what it actually is.
The kids and I are continuing to do school. We are all painting every chance we can get {watercoloring is becoming an obsession around here!}, we have done lots of puzzles, played games, snuggled and watched movies, gone on lots of walks, rode bikes, and just been together.
This time has been full of emotion, and emotions only seem to be getting stronger and stronger. But one thing I am grateful for right now is simplicity. And the love I have for my family.
And this situation has only solidified in my mind that I would be totally fine living on a farm/ranch in the middle of nowhere with my little tribe. We kind of love one another.
