Have a Lovely Weekend

What are you up to this weekend? I’m recovering from an elbow “injury.” Getting older is not for the faint. You can sustain an injury just moving your body parts normally. I hope you’re all doing better than I am.

I became part of the soccer mom club about seven weeks ago, so my weekends are spent getting kids to overly pristine soccer playgrounds, rain or shine to be their biggest cheer leader. I’ve grown to love it and dad sometimes takes on the task of coaching from the sidelines. This is coming from a very reserved man, but he loves the sport of soccer.

Last week, I missed a massive highlight. My older daughter scored a goal. I wish I was there to see her. Dad was beaming with joy and so was she. I don’t plan on missing it this weekend.

I borrowed a couple of books from the local library. I hope to start one this weekend.

I finally read an article from Chrissy Rutherford Navigating a Marginalized and Privileged Identity with Danielle Prescod even though I have been following her for quite sometime on Instagram. It is surely worth the read, because my children are experiencing life in spaces similar to that of Danielle and Chrissy.

Luvvie Ajayi’s podcast titled Let’s Talk About the Glory and Grit of Entrepreneurship is also of interest to me. As I continue my venture into blogging, I would like to hear from someone who has navigated the space of making writing her life, and how to avoid the pitfalls.

We’re going to make a batch of blueberry muffin mix from Trader Joe’s with the girls. As much as I love baking from scratch about ninety five percent of the time, I show myself grace by not feeling like I have to all the time.

One of the girls convinced me to sign her up for Anime and Manga Drawing for Beginners from Outschool.

Lastly, I need to finally finish the paintings for their bathroom which is long overdue. I will share the finished look.

I hope you have a great weekend.
