Shoveling /// toys to and fro with a focus on minimizing and organizing. I’m curious, what’s your toy philosophy?
Ignoring /// my sewing stash. It’s been a year now since I worked on any projects :( I seem to go in sewing phases and right now, I’m not in one. It’s sad, but I know I’ll move into a sewing season again someday.
Inhaling /// OnGuard via my diffuser. Heaven sent.
Hugging /// my littles. Of course. I’ve been reading Peaceful Parents, Happy Kids and it is by far my most favorite parenting book I’ve ever read. Well, listened too. I snagged it from the library on audio. It’s chalk full of wisdom and thus far one of my favorite quotes is, “Children need 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 for maintenance and 12 for growth.”
Throwing /// my arms up and planning only lovey dovey fun things for the kids and I tomorrow. I think employers should consider Valentine’s Day a paid holiday so Dom can join us!

So blessed! Toy philosophy somedays is: if it's under my feet it's in the donation bag. Ha. Other days it's pick and choose which things can go unnoticed into the donation bag. Ummm. it's a constant state of toy removal and yet I always feel like we have a full toy store worth of things. I try to only buy used toys that hold some kind of special charm and as far as new, only craft supplies. Our house is still a tornado of toy garbage though :/ I blame grandparents.
Those grandparents! So wonderful, but yes, many of our toys come from there too :)
