Back to routine


At the beginning of summer I was a little freaked out. Five kids in the house all day, everyday. Ages from 17-almost 2. I talked to other moms & prayed. My motto for the summer became "summer is for fun" 
It was something easy, simple & so true to keep my heart where it was suppose to be. 
Unfortunately the days of swimming were much fewer than I anticipated. 
Running around to appointments instead took place.
Summer swept in quickly & left just as quick.

And now I have 3 kids in school and just the two toddlers for about 5 hours.
The truth about this, it's like a long deep breath.
I see people posting that they're sad school is starting already. 
I'm not.
I mean, I'm not looking forward to homework, but 
I LOVE the routine of it all. 
Summer is so loosy-goosy. 
Fall is getting back into routine & habit and that's something this planner loving mama looks forward to. 

And hopefully my house can have a little more order & cleanliness to it....who am I kidding? They all still live here!

Influence Link Up

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

Winter

Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.
