we are getting back into a routine around here.  preschool, birthday parties, playing with paper, CHA deadlines and coffee.  lots of coffee.  it feels good to be "back".  i always love the holidays, but i always crave order and organization as the new year begins.  trying to remember to focus on my words "simplify, enjoy, breathe" this year.  the simplify process is underway which always makes it easier to enjoy the day to day.  trying to remember that messes are "ok" and that the kids are just playing. that my house doesn't need to be uber clean and organized all of the time (that's the hardest for me....)
