My first Mother’s Day as a mom of two is in the books! Jimmy and the kids made it really special in all the ways that I appreciate.
We started our celebrations on Saturday with coffee! Jimmy and Sadie picked up Starbucks and gave me new coffee beans to try out.
“Let’s hold hands and take a picture!” -Sadie
My mother-in-law watched Sadie for a few hours that morning and they came back with flowers and a balloon for me. So sweet! (more…)
Current book The Bible. I’ve been reading the beginning of Matthew and Luke to keep my mind on Christ’s birth.
Current food I’ve been loving graham crackers and dark chocolate chip cookies lately.
Current obsession Father-daughter dates. I just adore spending time with my dad.
We painted ceramics together! I blurred what my dad made because he’s giving it as a Christmas gift to someone who reads my blog, haha.
Current craving A day with absolutely nothing on my agenda. A girl can dream, right? 😉
Current confession I pulled clean clothes out of the laundry basket all last week because I didn’t get a chance to fold and put away the laundry.
Current drink I just finished sipping a vanilla almond milk latte as I began this post. It was warm and toasty and the perfect pick me up.
Current mood Pretty relaxed. I got through the busiest day of the year at work. Whew!
I made a cheese wreath at work last week for the family’s Christmas party.
Current beauty product Yes to Carrots Body Butter. My knuckles are incredibly dry and cracked to the point of being raw because I wash my hands so often at work. Every time I slather on the body butter it soothes my dry hands.
Current need I don’t actually need anything, but I wouldn’t mind getting another dog 😏. Maybe a cocker spaniel?
My parents’ dog, Brandy, as a puppy!
Current indulgence Sleeping in whenever I can. Jimmy and I slept until 8:00 am a few weekends ago.
Current procrastination Vacuuming. Does anyone else procrastinate on that? It doesn’t take me long to do it, but I always find ways to avoid it.
Current blessing The women at my church. I went to a cookie exchange on Saturday and the devotional, fellowship, and food were all amazing. Jimmy’s cousin, Katie, and I collaborated to make the favors. She made the most adorable baby Jesus ornaments and I contributed the angel cookies. It was such a lovely gathering.
Current excitement Jimmy and I are going to take a day off of work together soon and spend the day doing whatever. Cannot wait!
