Thank you for reading yesterday and for being excited I’m back! I appreciate YOU and all your kinds words!
Periodically, I do a little post where I share a big old list of all things I’m CURRENTLY doing. Yesterday, I worked on this post throughout the day and this is what wass CURRENTLY on my mind…
Making: A grocery list. I’ve been doing a HUGE drinks, snacks, and other staple items order about once every five to six weeks and then weekly {but usually ends up being more} a much smaller trip for meals throughout the week with fresh items. With us all being at home most of the time, it seems like we’re going through food at an unusually quick rate.
Wanting: To find the RIGHT natural deodorant. HELP! The best kind I’ve tried is the Primally Pure {I actually just reordered this but it hasn’t arrived yet}. Does anyone else get bumps under your arms from natural deodorant?
Cooking: Speaking of food and lists, I’m cooking nothing right this minute. I dumped chicken, green salsa, and a few other things in my slow cooker and am letting it do all the work. #winning We’ll eat it over brown rice or maybe even cauliflower rice.
Drinking: La Croix, La Croix, La Croix…it’s my summer go to. Have you tried the Limoncello? SO SO GOOD!
Eating: These little brownies. I got the recommendation from Amanda and they basically taste just like the Little Debbie brownies.
Reading: I’m reading The Boy From the Woods and am intrigued. I’m not too far in, but will let you know what I think. I’ve heard other people say they preferred Harlan Corben’s other books. Have you read any of his books? If so, let me know your favorite!
Looking: At chaise lounges…I still haven’t purchased some for our backyard. You guys sent so many great recommendations! I can’t decide!
Playing: Mall Madness on repeat around here! My parents came into town last weekend {I forgot to take a single picture!} and brought my old Mall Madness game for Ebby Lee to enjoy.
Wasting: Lettuce. #always
Buying: These buckets…they’re collapsible so they fit perfectly in the swim bag but we can pop them out at the pool while they’re playing. Beach trip, anyone? If you have littles, these are a great idea!
Loving: Our new pillows! I ordered two of the Coop pillows from Amazon and after trying them out decided to order two more. You dry them to unfluff, can add extra fluff if you’d prefer, and you end up having the perfect pillow for your preference.
Hoping: We’ve cancelled most of the things we had planned this spring and summer but we still have one thing on the calendar. I’ve been seeing lots of friends on Instagram/Facebook posting beach pictures and other vacation images. I’m hoping we get to enjoy ours as well.
Marveling: At the rate my house can go from spotless to, “what kind of monsters live here”. It happens FAST!
Needing: A bedtime fairy to make us all go to bed on time. We’ve gotten out of a good night time rhythm and up way too late.
Smelling: This candle. Shay dropped this candle off at my house and I burn it while I work. 🙂
Wearing: This top and these shorts.
Praying: For our country.
Noticing: We have WAY too many television remotes in our living room. How many remotes do you have? We have four, but I only know what two of them do and I’d venture to guess Tab doesn’t know what the other two do either.
Knowing: I’ve got to finish that book I’m reading. Ebby Lee and I are planning on reading Anne of Green Gables at the same time. For some reason, I never read this when I was younger. Have you read it?
Thinking: About how I shared that video of Nixon back-flipping off the diving board at the pool. Did you see it on my Insta Stories? Well, two days later he attempted it at our pool which doesn’t have a diving board and he hit the side of the pool. WITH HIS FACE. It could have been SO AWFUL. SO SO AWFUL. The damage was super minimal compared to what could have happened. In between his eyes was swollen, he scraped a big patch under one eye, and had a few more scratches on his face.
Opening: Up these goggles that just arrived. We’ve already misplaced Britt’s Easter basket googles. Welcome to summer, Erika.
Giggling: At Tab…he has such an obsession with the grass in our yard I’m surprised he allows anyone to walk on it.
Feeling: Thankful for a weekend full of baseball. Nixon’s baseball team is such a great group of boys with parents we love.
Happy, Happy Tuesday!
XO
