Spring Has Sprung

It seems like the weather is finally catching up with the season here in Pittsburgh. We have been having temperatures in the 60s and 70s!

It feels wonderful to get outside and not have to bundle up. Also, seeing daffodils poking through the ground and bright yellow forsythia blooming is such a mood booster. The nice weather also makes pet sitting a lot more enjoyable 😉

Did everyone have a nice weekend? Ours was fairly busy, filled with pet sitting, work, painting, celebrating, and worshiping. A lovely mix of activities.

I bought a coral paint sample for an accent wall in our office, but it was too orange-ish when I put it on the wall. So I painted primer over it and bought another sample. Fingers crossed this one is the color I’m looking for!

My family celebrated my mom’s birthday by going to her favorite Italian restaurant. Afterwards, some of the kids went go karting at Steel City Indoor Karting. I was definitely content to just watch and take pictures. The go karts go as fast as 50 miles per hour!

Our church is hosting its Spring Revival, so we have a guest speaker preaching from Sunday through Wednesday, which is always a delight!

I also finished reading Midwife: A Calling by Peggy Vincent and it was great! Some of her stories literally had me laughing out loud. I read one to Jimmy about a placenta and he definitely didn’t think it was funny. Sorry Jimmy! I guess we don’t have the same level of interest in childbirth 😉

How was your weekend?

What has the weather been like where you live?

Seven Snapshots of My Life Lately

1. Snow. Pittsburgh has been hit with bits of snow here and there this month and it’s absolutely stunning.

2. Bible and coffee time. Spending time in God’s word is truly the best part of my day.

3. This. I read this quote from a devotional I’m doing in the YouVersion Bible App and it rang so true.

4. Catfinated mug. My father-in-law’s girlfriend gave me this mug and I love it!

5. Malcolm. He has random times during the day where he’s super snuggly and he lets me hold him like a baby. It’s the best.

6. My dad and Malcolm. They’re like two peas in a pod when my dad visits!

7. Cake. Still practicing cakes for Hannah’s bridal shower! This was a vanilla cake with strawberry filling. After I took this picture I frosted it with buttercream. ‘Twas delicious 🙂

What would a snapshot of your life lately look like?
