sign language

Currently: June 2020

It’s June! Definitely one of my favorite months. From the weather to gardening, to celebrating mine and Jimmy’s wedding anniversary, it’s just a wonderful time of year. Here’s what’s currently going on in my life this month, with a few affiliate links included!

Current books Just finished A Midwife’s Story by Penny Armstrong and now I’m onto this memoir and enjoying it a whole bunch.

Current joy I harvested arugula and micro greens from our garden on May 31st and planted a jalapeño plant in a pot. Hoping to preserve jalapeños again this summer.

Current blessing Church family that’s also family. My cousin-in-law Katie (who is a mom of five!) answered my endless questions about child discipline the other day and is always such an encouragement to me.

Current cuteness Sadie wearing a watermelon romper while holding her stuffed husky that was my sister’s while she was a child.

Currently looking forward to Reuniting with our church family later this month!

Current food Teddy grahams. They have just been hitting the spot lately 🙂

Current fun Continuing to learn sign language with Sadie. I feel like it has opened up so much communication for us and we both enjoy it.

Current baked good Apple pie!

Current obsession Having fires in our fire pit with Jimmy after Sadie goes to bed.

Current prayer The United States and all the riots that have been happening throughout the country.

Current toddler product Melissa and Doug Reusable Sticker Pad. Sadie has so much fun making different scenes with all the stickers, and I love that she can use it again and again. I also love the price 😉

Current pet product Niva is blowing her coat, so I got these gloves for brushing her and they have been amazing! They work well on Malcolm, too!

Currently: February 2020

February. It’s here! Is anyone doing anything fun for Valentine’s Day this year? I’m not sure what we’ll be up to, but I’m excited to scheme up something fun 🙂

Current book(s) Just finished studying the book of Esther and also finished Listening With My Heart by Heather Whitestone. Now I’m onto this memoir by Marlee Matlin and up next will be this one. Memoir city over here! (<— affiliate links!)

Currently looking forward to A trip with Sadie and Jimmy! We’re going to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky and we’re pumped! We’ve been wanting to go since it opened a few years back.

Current cuteness Sadie and Mavis waiting for Jimmy to come home from work.

Current beauty product You know how I mentioned I was using Burt’s Bees coconut foot cream for my dry heels? I’ve moved onto bigger and better things: HeelTastic! I know, it sounds like it’s from an infomercial (who knows, it probably is!), but it’s  roll-on foot balm and it has been working super well and I love that I don’t have to get cream on my hands!

Current project Continuing to learn sign language. I worked another Walmart demo recently and was able to speak sign language to three different customers! It made my whole day to be able to sign and connect with people in that way.

Current fun Our monthly family night! We had a gift card to Cracker Barrel, so we had dinner (it was our first time taking Sadie out to eat with just us three!), went to the play area at a nearby mall, and stopped in a photo booth to cap off the night. It was so special ❤

Current food Ritz Crackers. They’ve been hitting the spot lately.

Current drink Starbucks coffee. I had the Sumatra blend this morning and it was fabolous 🙂

Current joy Getting together with family. My family + our spouses and babies spent an evening together eating dinner and watching “the girls” play at my parents’ house. It’s such a blessing to be able to see Remi, Caroline, and Sadie grow up together!

Current excitement I’m attending a new Bible study at our church that my sister and her husband are leading!

Current blessing I’m slowly beginning to feel better! I got hit with an awful virus (Jimmy thinks it was the flu but I never got tested) that left me feeling so achy, run down, and feverish. It also came with all the symptoms of a head cold like a runny nose, sore throat, headache, etc. but the weirdest thing was that the glands in my neck hurt so badly.

It was crazy. I’m so, so thankful to be on the mend!
