Little things

The little things in life tend to make me happy. If i’m stressed out and worrying non-stop, I just take a second and look around.. the world can be so beautiful. It can also be quite funny; “people watching” is one of my absolute favorite activities! Just go to the mall and watch people, you will never fail to find something interesting-I promise.

Little things that have been making me smile:

Watching my mom and sister play Just Dance 2. Has anyone ever played this?! I am a champ at the song Rasputin hahaha.

Spending time with Jimmy. I see him 2-3x a week and I cherish every moment! In this picture we were on our way to church after a long Sunday of eating, walking Lola, and studying.

Homemade granola & some rice milk in a coffee mug. Wait, you don’t eat cereal from a coffee mug? I eat almost everything from a bowl/mug. Strange.

Doing homework in bed while laying atop my warm heating blanket<3

Lily. Enough said.

I enjoy walking Lola when she doesn’t attack other dogs 😉

Rain boots! Gotta love Pittsburgh in October.

What little things make you happy?

Do you prefer to eat out of bowls or off of plates?!

Race time

I desire to do your will, my God;

Hey there! I’m typing up this post on Friday morning but as you are reading it on Saturday I will be running (or finished with) a 10 mile race! Exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time.

I decided to share some of my recent eats.

Chocolate Chunk Luna Bar

I’m a big fan of Luna Bars and I liked Chocolate Chunk but for now I think my favorite is Smores or Chocolate Dipped Coconut.

Chili + corn bread. Also unpictured: broccoli and grape juice.

Salad with: red peppers, mixed greens, cukes, tomatoes, roasted muchrooms, carrots, peas, and roasted onions with Newman’s Own dressing and shrimp.

Fresh shrimp (my mom had fun peeling & de-veining them.. thanks mom!) steamed in water + cider vinegar + OLD BAY SPICE<3

Iced pumpkin spice coffee.

One more picture to share:

Three animals on my bed at once. I feel loved 😉

Have a great weekend!
