After a vigorous month of journey and a number of other totally different international locations, we’re lastly residence and slowly get again to our routine. After we have been youthful and courting, we might at all times speak about all of the cities we wished to go to, what we have been going to do once we acquired married, and what sort of lives we might lead. By no means in our wildest goals did we predict we might be capable to journey as a lot as we do, and as enjoyable and eye-opening it’s to expertise new locations and cultures, there’s one thing actually comforting about having a house base to return to and type of soften again into your consolation zone. 9 instances out of ten, once we journey, it’s for work and/or a model partnership, so our days are often fairly packed. For some time the airplane rides, numerous time zones, and dinners with new buddies felt regular to us, however after a couple of days of being residence we’re already questioning what we did with out all these pet cuddles, residence cooked meals, and down time.
First few issues we did the opposite day once we acquired residence have been unpack, throw every part within the laundry, choose up little Henry from our good friend’s home, and bask in a pleasant tub. Holy moly, that bath is one thing else. I believe generally we wrestle with discovering stability. We’ll have an awesome week juggling work tasks and “us” or “me” time, after which different weeks are filled with get togethers, journey, deadlines, and many others. The extra we discuss to buddies, it looks as if its a continuing battle for everybody…these with children, these with out, those that earn a living from home, and those that have a 9-5. Till we began touring overseas extra, we didn’t understand how that complete “reside to work” vs “work to reside” mentality is so true of People. We’re slowly looking for a stability that works for us…even when which means forcing ourselves to stroll away from the pc and play music, take an extended tub, or watch a favourite present.
One thing we’ve actually been having fun with recently is meal planning. It makes our weeks a lot smoother, and dinners an entire lot simpler. Now, don’t get me flawed… getting the motivation to prep every part for the week is an entire different story, however as soon as we do it we really feel so a lot better! All of the veggies are minimize, every part is in containers, hen is marinated, and so forth. We’re actually hoping to maintain this up. We began it final yr however weren’t too constant, so now we simply make it a part of our Sunday routine together with an audiobook enjoying whereas we chop away. Multi-tasking at it’s most interesting! Haha And naturally Henry is part of all of it, by no means lacking any motion within the kitchen. We haven’t completed The Handmaid’s Story simply but. The final airplane experience or so, we completely indulged in these eye masks and a sleep, however we’ve The Nix on our radar subsequent. Have any of you learn it but?
As for the remainder of the week, we’re wanting ahead to laying low and placing the ending touches on our grasp tub over right here. What about you guys?
