weeding and elbow grease


a bit of normalcy has finally headed back home and is settling in around here. newness is wearing and blending in with the old. it's a happy place to be.
max is home and crazy as ever...days are devoted to cleaning and laundry and i finally got back outside in my element...pulling weeds and digging in dirt. 
(something i haven't been able to do since being pregnant...3 cheers for a napping baby and being able to bend over again!)




it's amazing what a little weeding and elbow grease can do for a girl's sense of self...

    any sort of physical activity that gives your mind a little break should be taken advantage of.

    I LOVE weeding- but am way too big pregnant and hot to do any right now, so I totally relate :) I cant wait to get outside and get back to it this fall.

    Must be that time of year. For us it is almost spring, so I have spent the week giving the yard a major overhaul.

    oh boy, i know what you mean. when i finally get to not just clean, but prettify the house, i get this great sense of having accomplished something important.
    and hooray for bending over!!!

    It is amazing what digging in and feeling a little more like your self can do. There is nothing like a little moment to dig in the dirt.
