With a little inspiration from Ali on Instagram, I went throughout my day thinking about the lens of savoring moments in my day. Sometimes it’s hard to complete this project when life feels the same day in and day out, but I love the patterns and routines. That’s what I’m trying to capture here.
7:46 am // Savoring morning routines and the feeling of not having to make new decisions each day. I have been keeping a very basic version of a capsule wardrobe and it’s really narrowed down the time it takes me to get ready in the morning. If I shower in the morning, I always diffuse my hair for a bit so I’m not arriving to work with a wet head.
8:02 am // Not really savoring much here – ha! I walked out the front door for work and saw that my lemon grass and some flowers were dug up by a squirrel.
2:03 pm // Savoring a clean space at work and a to-do list with lots of checked boxes. Today felt good.
4:32 pm // Savoring the excitement of gettin home a early and laying out back in the sunshine.
6:04 pm // Savoring time serving my sweet friends – tonight I took them salad and a chicken and swiss bake (similar here) that was originally given to me in the family cook book my parents put together for my 21st birthday. They asked family members to complete a recipe card for me and it turned out to be one of my all-time favorite gifts. I’ve added more cards of my own over the years and it’s what I use to make my meal plans on a regular basis.
7:24 pm // Savoring this beautiful sunset by stopping in the middle of the road in front of our house. I absolutely love the size of the trees in our neighborhood and the way the sunlight peeks through as it disappears for the day.
7:44 pm // Savoring moments like this while the weather is perfect for front porch sitting. Kevin went for a run so Chloe and I greeted him here when he arrived home.
8:36 pm // Savoring time to catch up on some reading. I currently have 4 books going – Great at Work, Ruth’s Journey, Capturing Light, and The Road Back to You. This one is Great at Work and I chose to read it this evening because I had a book club that was discussing it the next morning. Over the past two years, i’ve read more books than I’ve ever been able to and I’m just soaking in every moment.
11:05 pm // Savoring this sweet girl and her routines. Kevin and I giggle every single night when she shows up in the kitchen to be let outside when he’s in there getting ready for bed.
I’ll be sharing photos like these every day this week in conjunction with Ali Edwards’ Week in the Life project. Thanks for stopping by!
