currently slowing down: or rather, i did slow down. and it feels freaking fabulous! i was fortunate enough to have two full weeks of vacation over the holiday and in between family gatherings and impromptu visits with friends, i primarily spent my time at home in pajamas with my little lady. the fall turned into an overwhelming whirlwind of sorts for me and a certain someone told me i needed to turn off and veg out on several accounts. definitely something i’m not used to and usually uncomfortable with. but i took his advice and can’t thank him enough. i feel relaxed, laid back and kind of like my laxadasical pre-baby self. i’m thinking i need to do whatever it takes to keep this vibe strong in 2014.

currently anticipating: getting back into a routine. while endless lazy days are magical, there is something to be said about having a reason to shower and get dressed in the morning. i’m looking forward to applying mascara, getting creative behind my desk, eating raw and getting back to the gym. but keep in mind, this routine does not have to be fast past by any means (wink).

currently missing: christmas. which was officially erased from our home this past weekend. it’s always a sad day and the house feels bare and cold for a short while after. thank goodness my little is currently obsessed with the polar express, otherwise known as ‘boy, ticket’, enough so to keep the spirit alive for awhile longer. obviously i’m gonna ride this one out as long as possible. to be honest, up until vacation i never actually sat through the whole story…it’s adorably sweet and has stolen my heart as a new holiday favorite.

currently working: five days a week. i had cut back my hours since returning to work after logan was born, allowing me one day a week to mug on my baby all on my own. it was perfect and i couldn’t have asked for a better transition. however, in an effort to alleviate stress this year, i thought extending my week in the office would allow me to walk our the door each night with some breathing room. here’s to week number one. my girls claim i’ll survive and that my weekends will be that much sweeter. i’m holding them to it!

currently rearranging: our home. it’s time. especially with the influx of toys that has taken over since the holiday. things are coming off the walls, unnecessary crap is hitting the curb and the painters are moving in. while my heart aches to disassemble logan’s sweet nursery, i’m excited to change things up and give her a larger space of her own and myself a quaint comfortable perch to create and stay connected from.
