24/100: Life Lately

Somehow, I got so behind on these blog posts! I was supposed to post number 24 on November 16th! Here I am on the 26th (how did we get here so fast?!) playing catch up. I miss writing though- this is becoming a fun little habit!

I’m reflecting on how I got so behind, so let’s catch up on life lately!

Last weekend, we threw our engagement party to celebrate with friends! We had about 60 people show up to celebrate us and felt so extremely loved. I’ll write more all about the party, but getting everything ready, setup, and cleaned up from that really took so much energy. I would still be recovering if it weren’t for amazing friends that did so much to make it feel so seamless and easy! We love you guys!

I’ve been working! I am nannying 3-4 days a week and loving it! During the other 1-2 days a week, I am working with an interior designer as her assistant. Talk about a dream job! Everyday is different, but I am living in so much joy! I am constantly learning new things between both, and loving every second. Learning is so exhausting for me though, so I normally come home and nap. Truly so happy, but need to figure out how to beat the afternoon slump!

This is silly, but daylight savings hits different when you’re older. Last year was the first year I was really affected by it, and this year is the same! I saw a post that was talking about how our bodies are made to slow down in the winter. I’m trying to be more aware of what my body needs and craves seasonally by listening to it and by feeding it with fuel that is in season. You can read more about what I’m talking about here! So I’ve been resting a lot and it feels so good. I typically get cozy for the night around 5 when it gets dark out, then figure out how to make the most of the night from there. We’ll see how long this lasts til I get stir crazy!

How is your winter starting?! I feel like as we get closer to Christmas, things only get crazier! How are you making time for your needs this season?
