my not-so-glamorous tuesday

so i had this really great idea yesterday morning to blog about the not-so-glamorous parts of my life. 
the parts that include not wearing makeup (or brushing my hair for that matter) & heading into town for errands. note the rockstar sunglasses (from these awesome people) that make me look famous. 
not.
but you see, these are the parts that make up most of my life.
i really like the crafty, pinterest-worthy pieces that make up my life, but there’s a whole lot of grocery shopping, post office waiting, & mundane errand running pieces mixed in, too.
so today i thought i’d share a typical tuesday in my world.

i feel like the post office is my second home. because of you amazing people who support my shops, i get to see them at least twice a week. i know them all by name & we often have long conversations of “would you rather?” while they ship my bags of goodies. 

tuesdays also always include grocery shopping. aldi’s is my place. these people are my people. good deals, good values, good people. i like that.
also, don’t judge my grocery list. we eat lots of veggies. they just come from the garden. also, the junk? it’s for a gift, i swear. yolo. 

sometimes in-between grocery store stops, i reward myself with a little thrifting. the magic above was found on tuesday. 

i also like to text my tribe photos of clothing for approval. this photo was for erin & it was something along the lines of, “i can finally wear shirts like this because my stomach is no longer bloated!”
did i tell you being gluten-free has changed my life?
20 lb. down, haaay!

after a little grocery store shopping & a bank run, i head home with a car full of goodies to put away. the rest of the day will include dinner prep, dirty dishes, farm chores & house cleaning tasks. most of it i won’t get done & that’s ok.
welcome to my not-so-glamorous tuesday. perhaps it looks a little bit like your days, too?
love,
natalie
