(Too bad that only lasted 4 weeks).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cable! Cable in both temporary homes! Or, as my kid calls it: Live TV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Being able to live in the cool part of Austin for a month before we moved<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Experiencing other kinds of decorating styles and having to suck it up when you invite people over and they think this is really your taste. (It\u2019s a practice in humility.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Getting to try appliances I\u2019ve never owned but wondered about. The Keurig? After a week, I put it away. Those little pods of coffee are crazy expensive and it doesn\u2019t even taste that good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The challenge of living without little places to store toys. Using a bin for a bookshelf and a bread basket for a cars container. A mixing bowl to hold little balls. You get the point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Coming to love the coziness of letting your toddler sleep in a pack n\u2019play in the closet. He loves his \u201cbedroom,\u201d even though Chris\u2019 clothes are hanging over his head.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The renewed appreciation for home. For our couch! For our kitchen knives! For all of it. Especially my sweatshirts. I have really missed having my zip up hoodie. Why didn\u2019t I pack that thing when it was 100 degrees out on August 30???<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also, I\u2019m in love with Green Drink:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a homemade smoothie created from fresh leafy greens and it will (might? could possibly?) change your life! I promise it tastes good. And I\u2019m not just saying that.<\/p>\n<p>The other good thing about it? Brooksie is such a fan. I usually mix it with apple sauce for him and call it \u201cGreen Monster Apple Sauce.\u201d August has been convinced in the past, but he\u2019s over it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the recipe (as taken from my friend Jeff), if you want to try it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Fill the blender halfway with fresh <strong>kale<\/strong>. Fill the other half with fresh <strong>spinach<\/strong>. Add a cup of <strong>Almond Milk<\/strong>. (I usually add a tablespoon more.) Blend. Add half a <strong>cucumber<\/strong>. Blend. Add a whole <strong>Granny Smith apple<\/strong>. Blend. Add a <strong>banana<\/strong>. Blend. Throw in 1 Tablespoon of <strong>Chia Seeds<\/strong> and 1 teaspoon of <strong>Agave Nectar<\/strong>. Blend. Add a couple of cups (or so) of ice. Blend. Get ready for your\u00a0existence\u00a0to alter! (Okay, that might be a little dramatic, but\u2026.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>A few blog posts I\u2019ve loved\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t had a lot of writing time during this transition so writing has taken a lot of my reading time. But, there have been a few blog posts I\u2019ve read lately that I really loved, and that need to be shared with you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tamara Murphy\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/livingpalm.blogspot.com\/p\/parenting-unrehearsed.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Parenting Unrehearsed<\/a>\u201d series. Every one of the posts in this series is challenging me and encouraging me. And she gives me hope that one day, when my boys are 6 feet tall and have facial hair, there is the possibility that we will be an imperfect but deeply loving family. Her most recent post in the series was called \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/livingpalm.blogspot.com\/2012\/10\/parenting-unrehearsed-how-to-keep-your.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">How to keep your kids from reading too many Bible verses<\/a>.\u201d I love her.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Erin Lane had a post recently at her blog Holy Hellions that spoke to me so loudly that I keep hearing her words every time I unload the diswasher: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/holyhellions.com\/2012\/10\/22\/thats-good-do-it-again\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">That\u2019s Good, Do it Again<\/a>.\u201d And really her words are God\u2019s voice reminding me that this work I\u2019m doing, this mundane life I\u2019m living on repeat, is holy. And it\u2019s an honor to do it again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Addie Zierman\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/howtotalkevangelical.addiezierman.com\/?p=1172\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">What I have to give<\/a>.\u201d Y\u2019all know I love Addie. She always cuts quick, straight to my most vulnerable places. She always says what I needed someone to say for me. This one\u2019s \u00a0just a gem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Okay. I\u2019m off to move. I won\u2019t be around tomorrow but I\u2019ll see you Monday. And then I promise not to move again for at least another year. (I\u2019m kidding!
