Cozy Autumn - Blog Posts

Lessons learned today: a good life doesn’t always look the way you think it’s going to look. Even if you don’t have all the big things you thought you would have, the little things are pretty damn good

I am introducing my husband to Practical Magic tonight so naturally I got Halloween candy, lit every candle in the house, and made apple cider cocktails

I decided to stop posting calories alongside my meals. Again, this stuff is mostly for my own reference to make things easier for myself. Almost like creating a menu for myself to look back on. Anyway, if I post it, it’s somewhere in the range of 350-500. This was lunch- potatoes, peas, and chicken sausage. Yes, I’ve been eating potatoes every day. Because po-tay-toes.

A lovely little breakfast on this (finally) cool September morning

We needed cheap and easy tonight so I got some rotisserie chicken and a baguette from the grocery store and made salad BECAUSE HEALTHY HOBBITS EAT BREAD.

This doesn’t look super appetizing but, my god, it’s so comforting.

Kids playing in their rooms, sick husbo watching One Piece in the living room, gloomy rainy weather, and me - alone in the kitchen- making soup. I like it here.

Todays spooky background movie. What are you watching?

So my six year old has been low key watching the LOTR films as I play them in the background while completing important tasks that use up a lot of my brain space.

Please note this child will not watch Disney movies because of the “scary parts”

Throughout the duration of the films she asks me back to back questions -with very complex and complicated answers.

I am equal parts proud, excited, and exhausted. Like, my brain is oozing from my ears - but I’m happy about it?

A warm mug of Chai tea and Charmed while I work ☕️

This isn’t an image thing - I’m fine with being squishy looking. But I’m feeling the negative effects of my squishiness. I just don’t feel good or comfortable of cozy. I feel sluggish and lazy and helpless. I want to change because

I have two small children and I don’t have the energy to give them all I can and it breaks my heart

I want to feel comfortable in my clothes

I want to live long enough to have a relationship with my adult children and grandchildren (if my kids choose to, or are able to, have them)

I am flying to Spain next year. I hate flying. I want to at least feel comfortable on such a long flight and not claustrophobic

I want to sleep better

I’m tired of my heels cracking under the pressure of my weight

I want to be able to fill my day with fun activity without feeling dead at the end of it.

I want to, hopefully, rid of my acid reflux

I want to feel good and healthy and active for as long and as late as I can in life

Time is going to pass anyway - I want to make the most of it

I live for the change of seasons 💕

Isn't November the best, right in between fall and winter 😊☕️🌧
