A Break from the Holiday Hustle

I am not here to freak you out about all the things on your holiday to do list. Rather, I’m here to help you slow down and relax in the middle of your week.

I would like to thank my husband for being an Instagram husband. We may need to form a support group for him and all the other Instagram husbands out there.

Looking for some gift ideas, especially for those in your life that don’t like mornings? Then check these mugs out!

Do you like wine? Then you’ll love Wine About It! Reasons growing up is the worst. I think I may need to have some wine about it sessions with my girls.

Also, I’ve been binge listening to The Lively Show for weeks now and it brings so much joy and inspiration to my day. If you haven’t check it out, I highly recommend it. I listened to this episode with Alexandra Franzen yesterday and LOVED it.

Happy Wednesday folks!

Wednesday Wanderings and Things to Brighten Your Day

There has been much on the internet to break my heart this week, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Whether it was Donald Trump and his lip flapping shenanigans, issues over gun control, anti-Muslim rhetoric, deaths and illness of too many, there is a lot tugging at our heart, mind, and bloood pressure. Rather than get us down about all these things, I thought I’d provide you with some things to brighten the middle of your week.

If you haven’t seen this yet, you’re welcome. If you have, then enjoy it again, because you know you want to! Adele, The Roots, Jimmy, and school instruments!

So, basically Harry Potter (Daniel Ratcliff) loves Richmond VA and so should you 😉

Who’s your favorite Disney Princess? May be these battles will help you decide: Cinderelle, Belle, , Snow White, or Elsa.

I was late to finding this blog, and now it’s over. Sad to see her go, but I understand.

I think we’re starting to hit the stage of our daughter hiding things. I’ve been seeing things about a few different tools for tracking down your keys and such. Anyone try The Tile App or Click ‘n Dig? Have other recommendations?

I’ve never been the best at long-term journaling…in one journal. It’s not uncommon to have multiple stashed all over the place. Have you seen this post on the benefits of journaling. Do you journal? I’ve heard great things about The Five Minute Journal…I wonder if it would help me?

I hope I’ve helped send you to some interesting things to intentionally fill your Wednesday. Just remember, the world can be tough, but it’s also really be beautiful. See the beauty in those you meet, and remember you’re the beauty they’re seeing.

Giving thanks, and upping the posting…

Thank you for all the new followers here on HebrewDawn. Some of you are family, friends, friends of friends, and new internet friends. I’m happy to have you on this journey through life, my story, and wandering across the internet. Beginning this week, I’m hoping to up my post game by posting not just Monday and Wednesday, but Friday too! I’m learning that some routine can be helpful, and I’m starting to figure out what that routine looks like for me. I’m leaning towards it looking something along the lines of:

Monday – motherhood focused
Wednesday – will wander through a myriad of things and some of my favorite finds
Friday – some get to know me style posts

This Fridays I will start a series on calling. Some may know my story, but I have a feeling many may not. Check-in Friday to ~~hear~~ read the first part of the story. If you have questions, suggestions, or ideas along the way, be sure to leave me a comment and I’ll follow up!

Here are Some of my favorite things that I’ve stumbled upon on the ~~world wide web~~ internet (I’m not a complete nerd y’all!) this week. May the bring you some joy in the midst of the busyness!

Adele is the best! I so wish I was able to sing like one of these ladies.

Have you head of the new trend among some men? Personally I wonder, um, why? Some trends do not need to exist, especially for beards!

I can hardly believe we are a DAY away from Thanksgiving! Please don’t panic folks, you’re not the only one not prepared. I have yet to complete my shopping list, and I’ll join all of Richmond at the grocery store tomorrow. Rather than stress, let’s just enjoy this and sip some Chardonnaynay!

Pep talk for my friends with newborns. Hang in there, it does get better and better!

What are you all thankful for this week?
