T-minus 3 days until school starts for my kids, and I just saw some red-tinged trees in the Target parking lot. ☺️ Fall 🍁Is 🍁On🍁The🍁Way! I love the ‘fresh start’ feeling of a new school year, especially now that we live where it’s also accompanied by the change of seasons. 📚🍂

When Morgan turned four, I had this *great idea* to wake her up with a stirring rendition of the Happy Birthday Song, candles to blow out, and breakfast in bed. Then she got to open her presents in the living room, decorated with balloons and banners. It was fun and exciting for all of us (first kid and it was the first birthday she understood enough to really be excited for what was coming, which was thrilling for all of us, honestly). ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As cute and fun as it was, I didn’t have a clue then that it would turn into *THE* Richins Family Birthday Tradition, or that we’d end up with three kids—three birthdays—to do it for each year. 🥴​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Morgan hit 18 earlier this year, and Syd’s 14th is today and Caden was 10 in March; and every birthday, it gets harder and harder to peel myself out of bed early enough to make this thing happen (in time to get ready for school or catch the bus, or before work, or—worst of all!—on a Saturday when we could *actually* be sleeping in). But, tradition!! I guess I’m banking on the fact that someday, they’ll look back on their childhoods with fond memories and be glad we stuck with it.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How are birthdays celebrated in your family? Or what’s one tradition you secretly regret starting? 😆😆​​​​​​​​

My kids are at ages now where they know a *few* things that I get a big kick out of, and those things usually work themselves into my Christmas and birthday gifts from them. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
My birthday was on Tuesday this week, and among this year's favorites were an "I have asked you thrice now for a towel" tea towel (with matching "Fold in the Cheese" oven mitt) from Morgan, and a removable throw pillow case with Lin Manuel Miranda's face on it from Sydney, complete with puppy-dog eyes and a lip-bite. (I'll post a pic in my story for anyone who wants to see!)​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This pillowcase has the potential to become a family legend--Lin has already joined us for family movie night and for bedtime snuggles--and when I called the kids down to dinner and jokingly said "Morgan, Sydney, Caden, Lin--dinner's ready!" Morgan shot back with "I'll be there in just a minute, save my plate."​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you followed along with all those references, you are my tribe!! And if not, it's okay, I still love you. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
P.s. My caption has really nothing to do with this stunning table scape by , but let's just take a collective moment to stare at it in appreciation! ​​​​​​​​

Alright my semester is in full swing now, and I just want to make an observation--Leading up to me going back to school, Rustin and I had to reevaluate the way we'd been splitting home responsibilities throughout our marriage--and frankly, it hadn't been working very well.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When we married (almost 20 years ago!) we came into our relationship both expecting to perpetuate very traditional gender roles. In practice, I don't think that ever worked for us...but man, did we keep trying. Not because it's what we *wanted,* but because we really believed that's what we were *supposed* to do, and frankly, didn't realize we had a choice.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We finally came to a place where we could see more clearly that it just wasn't working, and he's since taken over menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking dinner, and he handles laundry from washing to folding.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I can't articulate what a difference it's made in our home atmosphere and in my headspace. Is our house always clean now? No. Is it a perfect system? No. But I no longer feel like I'm allllways dropping the ball on something. I can breathe. I have time to be a person. I won't speak for Rustin in specifics, but I know reevaluating responsibilities has been a major benefit for him, too.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There is no way I could handle student life if we hadn't thrown those traditional gender-roles out the window and just figured out which of us was better at (and had time for) the 'boomerang jobs' (the ones that keep coming back day after day), that just need done. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We spent big chunks of 2020 and 2021 painting every square inch inside our house in NM before putting it on the market last year. We've spent a lot of this last year painting the inside of our new house in NC. I've basically been painting for three years, and I will be SO. GLAD. when I can put the paint brush down and just be donnnnnnne. Y'all. How do you avoid burnout when you're working through a list of DIY projects??? Send help, I'm dying over here. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
