Speaking of the kids, all of them are now officially teens! So I will try and respect privacy and still brag on them when possible. In my opinion, teenagers don't particularly have good self esteem or confidence. Maybe it is just my 3; in any case, I'm working on bolstering that when I have the opportunity.
Since I last wrote we moved back to Chicagoland. Turns out I need to be surrounded by people, I don't necessarily feel a need to talk to strangers, like the hubs does, but I do like lots of people around me making up a big colorful group of different lives being lived. To whit, when I run a race I notice the people around me and savor the differences. People can be really cool and they can suck at the same time. I'm trying to focus on the cool part, focus on what I want to see more of, and all that pop psychology rigmarole.
My plan for this blog moving forward is sharing some book reviews, recipes, money saving tips, great podcasts and what the family is up to in 2017 and beyond. My goal for this week is to sit down and do meal planning for the upcoming week. Wish me luck!
I also plan to try all the pumpkin beers I can find this Fall Season - and that will start with whatever is on sale at Jewel this week. So holding myself accountable, look for 2 upcoming posts from me to you:
1. Pumpkin or Fall Ales (in case I run out of pumpkin specific ales too quickly) review.
2. My Meal Planning Adventure
I can't leave this list at 2. I need a third..
3. In which I discuss my new adventure, a personal project I've been putting off for over 2 decades.
xoxo
