Emily Beaton · The List

We’re in the depths of winter, right in the thick of raising a family. I’m building a business. Josh is thriving in his career (and heading to London next week). And amongst the fast pace of it all, I’m really conscious of staying present and enjoying the beautiful moments.

The older girls are at that age where they’re beginning to mature and are just so much fun to be around. The conversations we have, the help they offer around the house, and watching the little people they’re growing into is such a cool thing to experience.

And then there’s little Lucy, who is an absolute joy. Although we may have forgotten to tell her that when we attempted to go to a 40th birthday on Saturday night. While she’s calm about 90% of the time, she was certainly not calm that evening. I think we lasted just under two hours before calling it and heading home!

So yes, life is busy. But it’s filled with the very best things. And Josh and I are doing our best to make the most of the moments we have together amongst the madness.

Today I’m sharing:

  • I’m reflecting on whether the habits I'm keeping are actually leading me towards the life I want to create

  • A book about building a business and breaking through limiting beliefs

  • The dress I wore to my friend's 40th (that almost nobody saw, thanks Luce 😂)

  • The burger recipe that had our nine-year-old asking if we could have it again next week (!)

So sit back, settle in, and enjoy Issue #181.
