...procrastination! [I started writing this post about a month ago]
Oh my has this year been a bit of a whirlwind. With baby girl getting so big and rambunctious, and mom and dad working our butts off, time is just flying by. In the beginning of summer we were having a blast: we've gotten to take Atti to a water park/Uncle Hunter's pool several times, and been out and about around town [the new rail was put in going from Union Station to River Market in May] but the summer heat wave has finally hit and we are stashed inside with the air conditioning as much as we can.
Atticus updates: We are full throttle with the walking and TALKING! A ton of new and random words, some phrases ["where'd he go?!], and of course the occasional cursing out of mom in full baby language. We are still on the bottle, but that is going soon- she eats like a champ and is working those utensils awesomely! Nap and bed time are easy going for the most part, she will put down the bottle and tell you 'nigh nigh' when she is ready to go. And we are getting more and more love and snuggles every day. I can't believe we already have a toddler. You'd believe it if you saw the attitude, it has popped out with the summer sun.
Mom and dad updates: Blade is working more than ever but he has been wonderful with working out schedules. I've been working a bunch too, but trying to focus on being home with the baby more so Blade can get work done. With Atti going to Ms. Martha's on Monday and Friday days it has been much easier to coordinate time and energy around work and family. But all of that changes come August when I start school. I will be going Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to class at Rockhurst, and since I can't get a personal loan I will still be working almost full time. Between that and Bean, I am going to be one busy mama. Fingers crossed I don't burn out before holiday break!

On a side note: about a year ago I took up bullet journaling and I fell in love. I have changed it around to fit my personality and daily needs, but it is still a staple during the week. I keep everything in it, from daily planning to fitness progress to future DIY projects, and it helps with my lack of organization. I would definitely suggest looking into it, or something similar, if you can't find a planner that suits your day to day. The best part is, every week looks different based on what is happening in my life at that moment. Below is just a glimpse at a week (it also makes me feel pretty artsy if I sit down for a little while before hand to make it look pretty).
I still can't believe that it is already half way through the year.
Like usual, I will try to post more frequently....but we've seen how that plays out.
Cheers!
