I think we like day in the life videos cause it helps us know that we arent alone. I know for me, I feel like my days are so boring. I have no idea if im doing enough, wondering what other people do with their days.

Thanks for the Anxious for Nothing book rec. We have a few of his but not that one. I reread Trusting God by Jerry Bridges last year. Life changing! Highly recommend. I’ve had the paper copy for 15 years but this time I actually listened to the audio which was such a balm to my anxious heart especially right before bed. ❤️

We started cutting our boys hair last year as well. Not a professional either but my hubby and I work together and I think we do a pretty good job. I love that we are saving money. I get up early to workout and it's hard most days but I know it won't get done if i don't do it early in the day.

I have watched you do your planning a couple of times. Just wanted to let you know, I get my planner from Hobby Lobby. It varies between 9 to 11 dollars they have them every year. I get mine around June-July, it last a year and half, looks exactly the same inside and has sticker and pockets in back.

I just sat down with my 8th grader and planned out his first year of high school. He’s my 3rd high schooler, and because of sports being canceled, we’ve held him back in 8th grade so he has a better chance of recruiting in high school for college football. It’s always fun in high school to see your child’s interests being explored!

Love all your videos!!! Not on instagram, so I hope you don’t find my request here rude, however I love videos in which you impart info on all of us!!! For instance, how you grab resources for a kid who needs a bit of extra practice on a topic within curriculum, all the fitness things (I know you are torn on sharing), and chit-chat types. I’d love to hear more about the resources you utilize for your spiritual life (podcasts, sermons, books), and how your spiritual life collides with your fitness life. Thanks for always being a light in a dark place and time.

A lot of us aren’t doing exciting things everyday. I used to love all these mommy bloggers because they would show there lives, and how they did their normal life and it was relatable and inspiring to see other moms also deal with what i do, and then get ideas how to be better. That’s what i like about it, once someone only shows what they do on a trip or whatever ONLY i end up wanting i stop watching. Because I’m definitely doing nothing special most days

I also find it so hard to get rid of my planners! I think it's because it's just like an album of memories.

This is something so peaceful and harmonious the same structure and stability in a routine and a lot of us could use a way back to that. Or at least live vicariously through you having one as mine as fallen more and more apart as my kids get older and my husband thinks I'm stressed out when I have the whole family on "mom ideal routine" but truly Ive been lost without it the last 4 years and can't get it back or least not the whole family anyways. I feel more stressed without the systems and structure of routines, but this is the year I at least get my own systems and structure back even if it's different from the rest of the family.
