Welcome to Installment #5 of WWATW, how I prepped and what I spent! This was an unusual week for us, as we had two epic snowstorms, so grocery shopping and meal planning were very much fly by night. We did manage to get groceries mid-week and the grand total for the 6 of us was $228 at Trader Joes.

A very daunting, but totally doable task! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you tackle this beast in bite sized chunks:
Upload and sort all photos from your phone, digital camera, USBs, etc. to an external hard drive (I have this one 1T External Hard Drive). Go slowly, month by month, year by year. From there, delete excess from your phone, digital camera, USBs, etc.Pick out favorites from each event / year — Upload to DropBox, Google Drive, Amazon Photos as a 3rd back-up choicePrint physical copies of favorite photos (mPix is a great place!), and update photo frames around houseOrder photo boxes for each child, and fill them as the years by byFinally order 2024 Book -- Episode #49 How to Curate a Family YearbookAnother item I've been negligent on are baby books, so that's getting added to this projects list!Send us a text

The PLAN by Kendra Adachi is a NO for me. The feminist rage was just off the chart here, in addition to the inception of acronym and list within acronyms and lists, it was just so much here, yet nothing at all. I guess that's what happens when you try to market a book to everyone?

Our fourth trimester is coming to a rapid end soon, and I wanted to share the experience and what it was like the fourth time around. What was easier, what was harder, and all the beautiful messy things in between. And what life is like with four kids under six years old.

Starting a 75 Hard / 75 Soft / 75 Mom / 75 Pregnancy Challenge is the perfect way to focus your mind, body, and spirit. And that's exactly what I'm looking forward to during these last few weeks of my fourth pregnancy. Here's my *super* adapted version of the 75 Pregnancy Challenge:
Drink a gallon of water every day (128-ounces = 1 gallon) — this will include a mix of water and coconut water for the electrolytes. Exercise 2-3 times per week for 45 minutes -- this will include an upper and lower body workout + a walkRead 10 pages of a book everydayNo screens past 9pm — this is for my mental health more than anything. It’s so easy to find myself scrolling on X until 10 / 1030 / 11pm when the best thing to do is to unplug, and not have the last thing I look at be a blue screen. Gratitude journal — because the days are long and hard with three kids, and it just keeps a healthy spirit. Take a picture everyday, I like this idea, mainly because I’ve gotten really terrible with taking photos. I hardly take them anymore, yet I know I’ll be thrilled to have them. Especially during this sweet time as a family of 5 for just a few more weeks.Send us a text
