Last Week’s Wishes

Update my Photography Blog. Organize and declutter our closet. Make it to the gym at least once since twice hasn’t happened! Get back to eating healthier so I can continue my weight loss journey. Spend more time with Kenny, Dustyn & Carsyn. Yes I want to get the house cleaned and organized, but I felt like I didn’t spend enough time with them last week.

Alright I did not update my Photography Blog. I actually came to the conclusion this week that I think I am going to close down my photography business for the time being. I want to focus on getting our house sold, moving, and getting settled. Then we will see what happens. I do have a couple sessions already scheduled, but I don’t think I will be taking any more clients. Organizing and decluttering our closet did not happen. Although we did do our whole bedroom, dining room, and living room. I finished the rest of the kitchen. I cleaned the boys rooms up. I also started packing up some of our knick-knacks to make the house seem less cluttered. It is really looking good around here. I did make it to the gym for Zumba last week! YAY! I also ate a little healthier this week than I did last week. I still have not lost anymore weight. I tried to spend more time with the boys, but just still seems like not enough.

 This Week’s Wishes

  1. Organize and declutter our closet.
  2. Make it to the gym at least twice this week.
  3. Drink 100oz of water a day and limit my soda intake.
  4. Finish taking photos of the house, so I can make some flyers. Then we want to list on a few online sites.
  5. Spend more time with Kenny, Dustyn & Carsyn. Yes I want to get the house cleaned and organized, but I felt like I didn’t spend enough time with them last week.

      Thank you! I know I can not believe I acquire so much!

    Drinking more water is a great goal!! I've been trying to do more of this as well, and I have to say, I feel so much better because of it!
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:41 pm

      Yes it is hard to remember, but I do feel much better.

    Wow, 100 oz of water! I can't even imagine! It's an amazing day for me if I even hit 64 oz! Congrats on making it to Zumba and getting so much cleaning done last week - even though it wasn't your goal area, you still got a lot done!
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:41 pm

      Well you are suppose to drink half your weight in water. So that means I have to drink a lot. He he.

    i need to organise my closet more often but io actually like organising my closet
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:42 pm

      Yes hard to get motivated, but once I start and finish I feel so much better.

    I feel like organising and decluttering my closet was one of my goals for weeks and weeks, it's such a big one! Once I finally did it properly it felt so good though, so good luck :)
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:42 pm

      Yes it has been on mine for awhile.
  6. Kimberly says

    February 10, 2014 at 3:49 pm

    That's a great list! Similar to mine. Except for the moving part. Why are you selling and moving? I seem to just change the date on my to-do list these days. So many unexpected things come up that interfere with my plans. :)
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:43 pm

      Ha ha. Yes things do come up and interfere. We want to move closer to Raleigh for Carsyn's appointments.

    I totally fell off the no-pop bandwagon. I like your goal of making sure you reach your water goal first & just limiting the pop. Much more realistic!
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:43 pm

      I know! I felt so much better without it. Wish I wouldn't have started back but it is so hard. That is why I am trying to drink my water first.

Love my new Aglaonema Sparkling Sarah (Chinese Eve Love my new Aglaonema Sparkling Sarah (Chinese Evergreen) I picked up from @_rootsplantco this past weekend. The pink is gorgeous and I love it’s name.
6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.
Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.
Reading a book and trying a new cider at @pineandp Reading a book and trying a new cider at @pineandporch. This is a blueberry pineapple. 🤤 If only it would have been warm enough to enjoy their outdoor space. Guess the past couple weeks were false spring.
Soccer season is here. Lots of time spent at the f Soccer season is here. Lots of time spent at the fields this year, since Prestyn decided he wanted to play too. Both of them have their first games tomorrow.
Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

The roots of my monstera thai constellation are lo The roots of my monstera thai constellation are looking great. 🙌🏼 Lots of growth in less than 2 weeks.
My monstera deliciosa had some droopy leaves, so I My monstera deliciosa had some droopy leaves, so I asked my friend Molly at @_rootsplantco what she thought would be best. She recommended this wooden trellis from Lowe’s that cost less than $15. I tied up the droopy leaves with twine. There is lots of room left for growth.
I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.

Annelyn is loving her new hair cut and loving her hair straightened. Swipe for some adorable photos, she came up with all her own poses. Also the very last photo is her hair before, it was a hot mess. Mollie cut off 3-4 inches and it looks much healthier now.

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? If so, did you do anything fun?
