Share 4 Somethings

Hello and happy Saturday!

It’s the last day of February, and it’s also the last Saturday of the month, so I’m linking up with Jenn for Share 4 Somethings.

The topics typically are something we loved, something that sustained us, something we’re carrying forward from this month to the next, and something we’re making space for...but I tweaked a few to work with my current thoughts…

Something I’m loving…

Listen, I’m easy to please. It’s the little things that I’m loving right now. Every day, I write on my school white board. I actually have a double board, and for some reason I only have one eraser…and it always seems to be at the opposite end of the board that I need it.

Anyway, I bought this two pack of magnetic erasers, and I put one on each end of the board. These are great quality, and the magnetic feature is something I’m loving.

Shay shared this silicone mat for traveling with hair tools. I knew it was used to rest hair tools on when they are hot, but I didn’t realize the back side is a pouch! That’s so convenient for putting my curling iron in when I travel. I’ve already used this twice when we’ve gone out of town for volleyball, and I keep it in my travel bag. What a handy little thing that I’m loving.

Something I’m adjusting to…the kids driving. Truly, this milestone has both rocked my world and also afforded me more time on my hands…which just gives me more time to worry. haha!

My mind continues to be blown that I don’t have to pick up from practices (sometimes I still do) or even run certain errands. Honestly though, I’m happy for them to have their independence, but I’m also still holding my breath sometimes as they navigate certain routes at certain times.

Something I’m savoring… quiet time on the weekend whenever I can find it. Two weeks ago, we were in Knoxville for Hadley’s volleyball tournament. Last weekend, she had another tournament in Ohio. I was so tired that Trav told me to just hang at home with Hayden and he’d take Hadley to the tournament. I hate missing the kids’ activities, but I stayed home, and overall, it was a good decision. I savored the downtime because most of our weekends are pretty busy.

Last Sunday, I was up watching the gold medal hockey match while sipping my coffee and reading a magazine. I definitely savored that time, and I also savored my time with Hayden last weekend too. I’d had one on one time with Hadley the previous weekend…and Trav and Hadley had fun together last weekend. It all worked out.

I’m also savoring this bag of Tru Fruit! The frozen strawberries are the only Tru Fruit I like (although, I bet I’d like the frozen bananas too!). Anyway, I bought this bag at Target recently, and I ~~hide~~ stick it in the back of the freezer where the kids won’t see it. haha!

Something I’m carrying forward from this month…

…the warmer weather that we’re having at the end of February. Of course, I’m sure we still have some cold days ahead, but the warmer temps and the longer days of light mean that spring is around the corner.
