Don’t you love those days/weeks where you can get regular old life things in order? I’m talking – paying the bills, doing laundry, errands, cleaning, etc.
Those days have been few and far between for me over the past couple of months, so it’s felt good to get things in order over the last few days. In addition to general planning/organization/budgeting stuff, I’ve also been able to take care of the more important little things in life.
…like painting my nails, duh.
…and stocking up on groceries other than frozen meals.
…and organizing (sort of) the remnants of the FreelyBe launch party in my room.
One basic thing Jessi and I have always made it a point to do no matter how busy things are is find a day to just r-e-l-a-x. In other words, Sunday has become our traditional weekly movie marathon day.
(Check out that stud on the top left ;))
Getting life back in order apparently also means I’m reverting to some of my weird-yet-delicious old eating habits, like roasted sweet potato with vanilla Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and cinnamon.
Apparently getting life back in order also means getting a slightly late start on the work day, so off I go…
What’s your best tip for staying on top of basic life stuff?
I'm the girl, Gracie Gordon. Here at GML you can follow my journey of dreaming, working, eating, loving, and blogging my way through life in NYC.
It sounds kind of crazy but I try to do little things each day to make ‘errands’ easier throughout the week. But generally speaking, cleaning and food shopping take place on Sunday’s.
I do about 90% of it on Sunday evenings before settling in to some solid tv catch-up time. and lots of lists
After getting married and traveling for work for a week I have been using the weekends to get my life back into order… 3 weekends later, I still have things to do
P.S. I love that butternut squash from Trader Joe’s- so convenient and versatile!
haha yes - I roast and eat all of it at once
I neeeeeeed that snack NOW
I think for me it’s writing ‘to do’ lists!But I try to do something regularly in the weekends like cleaning, shopping and post responding!
I have never thought of sweet potato with yoghurt before, I might have to try!
I like the idea of having one day to completely /veg/. My favorite way to get life back in order is to pick a day, free it of any commitments, and work on all of the little things that have piled up!
LOVE that nail color! movie marathon days are the best!
that sweet potato/yogurt/peanut butter treat looks delicious!! tis the season for root veggies, right? and i try and have a day to just relax as well, its super important!

I have FEARLESS written in sanskrit. Sometimes I forget it’s even there!
