Clean but messy

How do you define success?

My currency, when it comes to success, involves very simple and minute details.

A clean but still messy house. With three adult kids, a five year old and a baby, it’s full of stuff, (plus I am maximalist af). Lived in, but on my best days it’s still clean.

Moving my body is a big part of whether or not I feel successful. Haven’t picked up weights in a while nor have I been on my yoga mat but I did get back into walking so that’s a start.

Writing daily is also important to me. Both here and in my journal. On days where I don’t write, I feel this pent up angst or something.

Boy mom things
We finally had a warm day yesterday, got up to PLUS 16 celsius (60.8 F)…Taz, Sid & Baby RR

  2. As long as I’ve done one thing in the day, even if it’s just a few dishes, I feel something has been accomplished and that’s all it takes for me to feel I’ve been a success. Thank goodness, otherwise I’d be in rough shape!

  4. Relate to that ‘pent up’ feeling, although it used to be just for writing and these days there are a few avenues. Congratulations on a warm day! We had a very hot day then back down into cold today. Weird patterns, but I can’t complain, much. 🙂

  5. Nice! Finally some good weather in your part of the world. Yeah, we can’t be too strict about having a super tidy house when we have kids around. But hey, I saw Captain America, so you are in good hands! Or is he Captain Canada? 😂
