Taking Stock: October 2017!

Taking Stock

18 Nov

Taking Stock: October// Grady Savage // www.gradybirdblog.com

 

My October was actually EPIC this year, not gonna lie.

 

Between the last day of my friends Jenny and Ben’s amazing wedding weekend (they were married at the end of September but the weekend went through October 1st!), to seeing a phenomenal show (Fun Home!) with my wonderful sister-in-law Christine, to revealing my BRAND NEW BLOG DESIGN, and finally to dressing up with Jessica for Halloween, I honestly couldn’t have had a better October.

I know this post is late, but I’m still recovering from the amazing. 😉  Please forgive me!

Now let’s take stock!…

Making: myself try new things!
Cooking: lots of chicken because it’s SUPER easy for my meal planning for lunches for the week.
Drinking: three cups of WATER every day!  Which is a TRIAL, let me tell you, but so far so good!
Reading: I’m trying to go back through this little book again. I’ve already read it once, but clearly everything didn’t sink in the first time, so I’m going for round two!
Wanting: my train adventure to come sooner!
Looking: at the new bag I ordered that just arrived from amazon and wondering why it looks SO TINY to me! Oops!
Playing: chill music, as per usual.
Wishing: I could snap my fingers and instantly have cooked food in front of me.
Watching: Degrassi: Junior High (yes, the original Canadian version) with Jess and it’s the ACTUAL GREATEST.
Enjoying: a relaxing evening at home after a busy morning.
Waiting: to get our family photos done this month!
Liking: all the evenings I’ve gotten to spend one-on-one with Jess these past few weeks while Chris had his shows.
Wondering: what’s coming next!
Loving: the Dundie we ordered from amazon for our Halloween costumes!  It’s now on display in our living room, naturally. 
Hoping: the new combo I’m about to try in my diffuser will be awesome.
Marveling: at all the blessings in my life.
Needing: to get better at hydrating myself!  But I’m workin’ on it (she says with an ACTUAL GLASS OF WATER BESIDE HER!  #babysteps)
Smelling: the “cozy sweater” diffuser blend I’m trying!  Yum!
Wearing: some black leggings, a pink t-shirt, and a theatre zip-up!
Noticing: how much having a positive attitude truly effects everything.
Knowing: I’m really, truly grateful for my life.
Thinking: of books I want to read and stories I want to write.
Feeling: Happy. Safe.  Excited!
What about you? How did your October go?
Did you dress up as anything awesome for Halloween?
I’d love to hear about it in the comments below!

Hi There, I’m Grady!


I'm a wife and stepmama obsessed with dresses, planners, and iced coffees bigger than my head.

I believe that having a happy, healthy stepfamily is not only possible but necessary for stepmom sanity, and I hope to provide a place of support for stepmoms who need to know someone else just
"gets it.”
