Busy

Sorry for the lack of posts, but not much has been going on lately. I've mostly just been going into work a couple times a week, then being home and doing the mommy thing.

Recently, I've felt like my apartment has gotten a little out of control. As I was reading this blog, the other day, she did a vlog where she explained how she cleans her home in zones. She basically divides her house into sections, then each day of the week is assigned to that section to clean. So I sat down with a pen and paper, and did that for my apartment. Even though it's fairly easy to clean in a couple of hours, Savannah is now only taking 15-30 minute naps, which only leaves time to pick-up, not deep clean. So far, it's been working and I've felt a little less stressed about my messy apartment.

Two things make me feel stressed and anxious around here:

The poor lighting and clutter.

It's crazy how much better I feel when I open the blinds to get sunlight down here and when I have a clean floor.

Yesterday, Bryant had the day off, and graciously took care of Savannah for most of the day so I could get some time to recharge. I took a chair out on my walkway, and parked it under some trees and watched the overcast sky move across the valley and listened to the thunder.





It was beautiful and peaceful. It was just what I needed.
Hopefully I'll have more time and more interesting things to write about soon.

Only 2 more days until the weekend!

I put my new shoes on....

And suddenly everything is right.

So last week was so crazy that I forgot to write and post pics from our trip home from Mt. Shasta. I didn't even think about it until last night when I was taking some pics of pumpkins and realized I had all these cool pictures from the last couple days of our trip. So here goes...

On our last day of being in Mt. Shasta, Bryant and I went to eat lunch at the Billy Goats Tavern. They have really awesome food there and the ceiling is my favorite part.

On our way back home, we decided to stop at McCloud falls and take a little hike.
This was at the "Lower falls".
I'm convinced that I have to move here someday. It's just too beauiful.
This is the "Upper Falls." and I think this is a really cool picture of Bryant... :)

After the amazing hike, we continued on our way. And out of the miles and miles of nothing.... along comes a shoe tree!
Yup.. A shoe tree. Pretty much the grooviest tree I have ever seen!
I'm not going to lie though... It smelled really bad of stinky feet. Bleh.

So we then continued on our journey through the wasteland that is Nevada, arriving at home, tired but alive, and all the better because we had seen the shoe tree...
