What a weekend. I’ll post a full weekend recap later today (hopefully) but long story short…the movers were at our house until midnight on Friday and our entire weekend was consumed by unpacking. As I was drifting off to sleep at 11 p.m. last night I thought to myself, “I think I left my car door open in the driveway with a dog bed on top of my car” and sure enough when I walked outside this morning my door was in fact open. My mind is in a million places right now (as are all of my belongings!).

Oh moving.

How about some positive words to kick off the week?

I read this to some of my yoga classes last week and I love it.

Charlotte Greenway Running

My Sunday run was amazing. Our new house is just 0.3 miles from a nature trail that links to miles of greenway. I got 7 miles in all on trails and greenway! The girls are going to love, love, love this so much. I can’t wait to take them out exploring. Also, it was 50 degrees, clear and sunny. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect.
