Day 12- time of day-well it used to be naptime, but only 2 of my 3 mappers currently believe in that religious practice and the faith crisis that the third is experiencing is enough to make ME need a nap. It’s her witching hour and it’s rough when hers ends as the witching begins for the rest of the family. Every now and then though, a nap happens, or she at least curls up and let’s me read to her (or she reads to me) and I get to sit down with her and it’s just the BEST. And then I remember why the naptime hours have remained so sacred for so many years. When Sloane agrees to rest, she insists on me sitting with (beneath) her. I am happy to oblige because it is the only time during the day when I just SIT and literally do nothing but rest. These days are rare for us, but a true gift that I’m so grateful for!
Day 13- season- oh how I love autumn. I could eat soup and bread for every meal. I love the fall colors in the Ozarks. I love bluegrass and acoustic music on my autumn play lists. I love picking up speed to finish summer projects that were neglected once the humidity became unbearable. I love wearing jeans. I love butterscotch and spiced pumpkin candles. I love wearing socks. I love craft fairs and flannels and plaid and pumpkins on porches. I love the hustle as we prepare for winter to swoop in and slow us down.
Day 14- something I love about my hometown the pickleball courts! We are new to this sport but have a lot of fun playing together. Several of the parks in Bella vista have courts and a playground, so I can watch the littles on the swings or playground, and aaron can go play pickle ball with the older kids. It’s so nice when we can go somewhere as a family.
