February is almost over, and January felt like it lasted forever. My word of the year is flow...and it's definitely accurate to how the year is already going. It's flowing by rapidly. Flow can be applicable in so many areas: energy, happiness, intentions, gratitude, focus, creativity and love. Going with the flow, means letting go and not resisting. But what I haven't let flow yet, is my words. I haven't sat and made time to write. What I have done so far this year has certainly been fulfilling and flowing right along.
Warning...this post will be flowing with pictures! (Sorry...couldn't help the pun!)
My favorite part of a new year is a new calendar. My personal favorite brand is Blue Sky. It's affordable and cute. And no unfortunately, no one is paying me to endorse their products. I just love them.
After putting away all of the holiday decorations, I was happy to hang some after Christmas clearance lights in my favorite place in the world, my reading room.
My other favorite new year addition is my new rower. After belonging to a gym for two years and losing interest, we finally quit. But my routine always include a 2000m row. Now I'm thrilled to be able to do that from the comfort of my home. It was a combined, Christmas, Anniversary and birthday present and I love it!
January had plenty of school events and my birthday!
Savannah enjoyed being part of the "pit crew" for her high school's performance of Legally Blonde.
Lorelei and the boys got me a Soda Stream.
Savannah got me sweatshirts, a reading light and these beautiful meditation beads.
Her sweet boyfriend Alec got me yellow roses.
We headed to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.
It was a wonderful birthday.
The next day Jonas and I headed out super early to a GT field trip to NASA. It was a great day.
Lorelei had a milestone memory too...she went to her first dance and had an amazing time! She was dancing and having a wonderful time with her friends.
Valentine's day still holds some simple traditions around here...I love decorating for Valentine's Day.
And pink pancakes for breakfast.
For a treat that night we got a family favorite, burgers! John and Savannah had to work, so Jonas, Lorelei, Bailey and I checked out Burger Boy for Valentine's day dinner.
My mom's birthday was yesterday too, but she was off in Florida with friends. We hope to have a nice celebration when she gets back.
It was also a big event at school yesterday called, Love Our School. Savannah and the O' Connor NHS helped out. It was an amazing event.
There's just two weeks till Spring break. I'll be ready to slow the flow and take a breather again.
And Spring is just around the corner! My daisy told me so.

There were trips to Ikea, lots of homework, reading several books and just the general go with the flow stuff at home. January feels like a long month to some, but because my birthday is the 30th, I enjoy every minute of it. My birthday was on a Thursday, a normal work day for me. But all the kids in my life, both my own and my students, did a great job spoiling me for the day. I had three surprise visitors at school that day...an old student who brought me cupcakes (she's my birthday buddy, it was her birthday too!), Savannah brought me breakfast tacos and my mom brought me my favorite McDonalds Coke.

What a great memory for him to make. It was a perfect way to wrap up January.
Savannah finally received the official confirmation and banner for her UT acceptance! We couldn't be prouder of our future Longhorn!
Lorelei had a milestone memory too...she went to her first dance and had an amazing time! She was dancing and having a wonderful time with her friends.
Valentine's day still holds some simple traditions around here...I love decorating for Valentine's Day.
Simple morning treats...
And pink pancakes for breakfast.

We celebrated my dad's birthday the very next night with chili dogs and ice cream cake.
