1. The Great British Bake Off  Kendra, The Lazy Genius , sums up 7 Life Lessons from the show much better than I could. All the contestants, judges and hosts are so nice, proper and upbeat, even in the midst of intense competition and sometimes disappointment. You will find yourself s t r e s s i n g o u t over the bake time of a sponge cake and wiping off drool from the side of your mouth. 2. An 18 month old playing with bubbles This might be the last thing I want to see before I die. 3. Something to inspire or leave you speech less, like The Drop Box Film My only contingence is, no food documentaries that inspire you to save the animals and only eat organic lentil beans. I have mad love for the animals, but...bring on the meat. (*Hi Anna) 4. A sunset. The stars. A bug. Get thine buttocks outside Enough said. 5. A movie that you love. An old favorite. One that you only have to half way watch because you've seen it so many times {and it still leaves you with the war...

Weekends are for.. An invitation, from a friend at church, to a Frozen Breakfast  Pizza & a movie night while wearing jammie pants + a Crossing Guard Yellow tank top  Post church tackles  Frozen Sunday lunch soup that tastes better than it looks  Smelling your "Wuvey" while watching tv  Hitting your forehead on the fire place for the first time (See Post Church Tackles above)  Riding to church together like a real a family! And the cutest little outfit for church

Making:  Plans to visit IKEA sans kids tomorrow night with a friend  Cooking:  I baked subpar muffins from a box and a par cookie cake/bar thing  Drinking:  Coffee, water, coffee, water, coffee, water, coffee Reading:  The Nesting Place   (love!) Wanting: To finish my first month of budget strong  But IKEA.  Looking:  For things to donate/sell/burn (jokes) Eating:  For breakfast recently, coconut greek yogurt or an apple rice cake with peanut butter Wishing:  Caris could see snow. Seasons are confusing for 3 year old Floridians. "Well, the weather gets cooler  in the winter, but it doesn't snow in Florida LIKE IN ALL THE PICTURE BOOKS" Enjoying:  Watching my girls dress up in princess dresses daily  Thinking:  "Why didn't I start reserving books from the library y e a r s ago??" Loving:  That "summer" is over. And all the youth pastor wives rejoice!  Embracing: My perfectly imperfect ...

and here are some things I emotionally  ate  while he was away

We have been in our new {rental} home for a little over six months and wow, isn't it easy to go from, "Thank you Lord, this place is perfect for us!" to "It's nice...but I really wish the washer/dryer were inside. I wish there was better lighting in the main living area" Ugh! I repent! Here are a few pictures, taken back in March. It looks a good bit different now, but this should give you a good idea of the main areas!  Standing by the front door. Hallway to the right (3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms) Garage door to the left.  Looking left is the living room and play room Playroom Back porch lanai (the entire area is screened)  + Pool security fence to the right Pool + backyard  10 things I love about our house 1. It's one level   2 + story homes will always hold a special place in my heart and I hope to possibly own one in the future, but having kids in a one level house? I hit the JACK POT of Laziness! I am also prob...

Do I look different to you? I'm a SEAMSTRESS. I SEW.  (Kinda like sailing ) This post is 6 years in the making, confirmed by the receipt that I found in the bottom of the sewing machine box. It was marked March 2010 from Target. I saved over forty dollars and it's forty dollars that has haunted me for some time. I wondered about selling the machine or giving it to my friend, the one who threaded it for me. She's borrowed it twice and even gave me a quick tutorial. In the end I hung on to the huge box, determined that it WOULDN'T BEAT ME.  Last night I went all CARPE DIEM on it at 9:30 PM  I went with an "easy" princess pillow case for Caris. High five to the ladies out there with video tutorials and free patterns, but I also pair that high five with an ugly side glance because they sure did trick me with their easy peasy talk, "Lookey see here, you just snip snip snip and sew sew sew and there you have a perfect pillow case"  ...
