What I’m Loving during Quarantine: Reading, Watching, Listening, Doing

I thought it would be fun to sharing a little bit of this and that today. Things like what I’m reading, watching, listening etc. The seasons are starting to change along with our routines, but those touch stone items in our life keep us grounded, especially when life can feel chaotic during quarantine.

Family Time

Playing UNO. I recently picked this up on a grocery and essentials run, and we have been playing it almost daily, sometimes multiple times! A classic!

Listen, Doing, Making 

capsule wardrobe

Decluttering – I know I said above I want alllll the new things, but this girl also wants things in my house that I love. I recently went through boring things like the medicine shelf, switching out summer clothes and making need lists, and I just planned on going through the toy box of the next couple of week both with and without the kids to get rid of toys.
And since we are talking about pairing down and decluttering – Capsule Wardrobes – I already do this during pregnancy naturally but as I was getting out my fall/winter clothes I immediately threw out or donated clothes that were faded, didn’t fit right, or that I just plain didn’t like but kept anyways. I found Corina’s blog through pinterest and I printed off the FREE Fall Capsule wardrobe check list- I had a few items, but am slowly buying items the other items I need. She also has paid versions of the seasons and even came out recently with a whole year

Making

APPLES. APPLES.APPLES.  Last year we went apple picking with friends, but this year we made it a family outing. We’ve made apples sauce, apple “nachos”, and apple pie! I’ve canned one batch of applesauce, but we plan on going apple picking again to get more!
Me Time. Some days it looks like a bath, or 20 minutes of reading a book, or buying a new nail polish, or having the husband take the kids on a drive so you can clean and relish in the silence of your house! . “You can’t pour from an empty cup” is so true! I plan on getting my sewing machine out soon!

I love seeing these round ups of favorites so I thought I would share some of mine too!

A few weeks ago I bought a large bottle of olive oil from Costco but when I brought it home I knew I didn’t want to leave that huge jug on my counter so I searched for a cute oil dispenser. I originally was looking for a simple glass one but fell in love with this Rachael Ray one and it makes me happy every time I use it! And it comes in a variety of colors.

Listening, Doing, Making

Happy Tuesday!

I have literally minutes before any of the four kids need me. Two kids are just over being sick and the other two are currently which means my days are long, sleepless, and full of little ones needing attention! I found a few minutes to hop on and share a few things I’m listening to, doing, and making.!
