Deep Dive with Lacey: “What is one of your favorite memories from the past year?”

This past year certainly included a few memorable trips, but the things I seem to think of first when I consider this past year’s memories are mostly routine, everyday moments.

For example, I get way more enjoyment out of watching my kids play their sporting events than I ever would have imagined. And quiet evenings hanging out on our porch reading and coloring with my daughter or playing cards with my son are the first things that come to mind when I think of what we’ve done this past year. As a family, we regularly ride bikes to our City’s Midtown area (restaurants, park/play areas, outdoor seating, paved bike trails, Farmer’s Market, and lots of people) and we enjoy monthly ‘neighbor nights’ with a group of close friends in our neighborhood who have kids the same ages as ours (game changer for an easy social life!)

I read a quote once that really resonated with me. It was about the importance of creating a life you don’t feel you need to escape from in order to find enjoyment. While our family’s life sometimes feels extremely busy with activities and hobbies, it’s also sort of quiet and predictable. And while I haven’t always felt this way, I have learned to really love the rhythm that makes up our daily routine.
