++ sales you don't want to miss this week
First, a little check in. How are you really doing this week? I know life can feel like a whirlwind, so I just wanted to take a quiet moment to sit down, catch up, and share a few things from my corner of the world.
This week was a sweet reminder that slowing down can be powerful. I’ve been thinking a lot about finding joy in small routines, and if you’ve been feeling the same, just know you’re not alone. When our life got turned upside down a couple weeks ago, we had to take a step back and focus on rebuilding our family and focus. I will leave you with my thoughts, as it is a good reminder for so many of us:
Today was hard, but it was such a blessing.
How blessed I was to break down & cry: it means I’m capable of feeling.
How blessed I was to feel loss: it means I had something to lose.
How blessed I was to get frustrated with my kids: it means I have kids to even be frustrated with.
How blessed I was to butt heads with my spouse: it means I have a spouse.
How blessed I was to eat my cold food after it sat out for an hour because, well, kids: it means I have food.
How blessed I was to trip on toys & spend time cleaning up behind the kids: it means I have a home.
At the end of the day, remember that the issues in your life are truly blessings. So many people are dreaming to have the things that cause you issues.
Here’s a quick peek into what’s been going on:
DONT MISS OUT: I have a fun Mother's Day giveaway going on through the end of the week on my Instagram page @ashhalvorson. Plus, another giveaway for Memorial Day & as always, some story giveaways each week.
We are surviving the rest of the school year and ready for summer! I have been working on a summer kit for those of you with kiddos to help keep up with learning throughout the summer. I got a lot of feedback last summer with what we used, so I am putting that all together. Stay tuned on the blog at ashhalvorson.com.
