Happy New Year! Last year was a big, life changing year for us; we welcomed our sweet Sadie Mae! I’m excited to see what God has in store for 2019.

Current book Just started this, which is a TV series as well. I’m sure Jimmy would looove to watch it with me 😉

Current goal To find some sort of routine with work. Because I work from home and have Sadie with me all day, I fit in bits and pieces of work throughout the day, but I’d love to figure out a way to get some solid back-to-back hours in.

Current cuteness Hannah’s bump! She’s 21 weeks with baby Caroline!

Current food Pork chops. Jimmy and I grilled two types of pork chops using hickory wood chips and a smoker box for dinner the other night and they were great!

Current beauty product I recently picked up this mist and it’s lovely.

Current joy Seeing my family with Sadie. My dad came over and hung out with Sadie while I went to the grocery store. It was a treat for each of us in different ways. I got some alone time (and got the grocery shopping done, lol), my dad got Sadie time, and Sadie took a lovely nap on her grandpa’s chest! Win-win-win.

Current baked good Lemon raspberry thumbprint cookies. Still want to bake bread soon!

Current blessing Our church family. It’s an amazing thing to do life with the people in our church ❤

Current obsession Still going strong on matching outfits with Sadie!

Mom and baby matching outfits from Old Navy

Current craving I really want to go bowling and skiing this winter.

Current indulgence Just getting out. I feel so much more human-like when I make an effort to get out and do something each day. Sadie and I visited the library last week and it was so much fun!

Baby reading book at library

Current need Still in need of a good haircut. I’m thinking I need to go on Pinterest to look at hairstyles because postpartum hair is tricky. Plus, Sadie now pulls my hair… maybe it’s time for a mom cut, haha.

Current laugh I tried to use our waffle iron as a panini press for a tuna sandwich. Nope. Not trying that again!

Current excitement My brother and his wife just found out they’re having a baby girl!

Current mood Content 🙂

Current fun Topgolf! Have you heard of it? It’s a really cool driving range experience and one of the chains recently opened in Pittsburgh. Jimmy, Sadie, and I went one Saturday morning and had such a great time. We also had my family go on New Year’s Day and they loved it as well. You can see my amazing (LOL) golf skills in the vlog below.

Currently: December 2018

Here were are, somehow in the last month of 2018. Crazy! Do you have any big goals for 2019? I hope December is treating everyone well! Here’s what’s currently going on in my life 🙂

Current book This cute Christmas-themed novel. Also, the beginning of Matthew and Luke as Christmas is approaching. The story of Jesus’ birth never. gets. old.

Current joy Meeting our new cousin, Hunter! What an adorable, sweet bundle of joy. Also, when we visited the hospital, one of the nurses was cracking up at the face Sadie is making in the picture below and said she had a very judge-y look on her face, haha. When she makes that face we call her “Stone Cold Sadie.”

Current food Balsamic pork loin. I love cooking up a pork loin with balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, and oregano.

Current beauty product This mascara. My mom said it won an award on Good Morning America for being the best drugstore mascara, so I had to try it. I like that it has primer and mascara all in one product. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and think it’s great.

Current baked good I baked gingersnaps last night, but I really want to bake a loaf of bread. I’m dreaming of kneading and braiding some good ol’ challah dough.

Current obsession Matching outfits with Sadie. Yup, I’m one of those moms. I got her dressed for a church ladies lunch on Saturday and realized I had an outfit that kind of matched! A new obsession was officially born that day.

Current blessing On the topic of the ladies lunch, Sadie was super fussy for about half of it. My sister, mother-in-law, and friend all helped hold Sadie, entertain her, and even coaxed her into a solid nap. It was a huge blessing to have such loving women helping me out!

Current indulgence Sleeping in whenever Sadie allows 🙂

Current need Still in need of a good haircut. I did a quick trim myself since I last mentioned needing a cut, but I still have yet to get to a salon.

Current craving Another outing in Pittsburgh. Jimmy, Sadie, and I had a little staycation earlier this month and visited the National Aviary, and now I want to head to all of the attractions in the ‘Burgh.

The workers at the Aviary took our picture by the Christmas display!

Current excitement My sister has her anatomy scan on Christmas Eve! Praying all is well with Baby Rowe and can’t wait to find out if Hannah and Josh are having a boy or girl!

Current mood Emotional. Watched this video and cried my eyes out. Jimmy asked why I was crying, so I showed him the video and cried again!

Current drink Still loving smoothies.

Current fun Filming vlogs. Below is the latest!

Current confession I got a pedicure a few days before Sadie was born and I still have the polish on my toes three months later.

Current goal To use our grill as much as possible this winter. Jimmy and I love to grill during the warm months, and we want to keep it up during the winter!
