Hey Friends!
I’m so sorry I was MIA on Monday! I typically get a couple blog posts finished each weekend for the upcoming week, but this weekend we had lots of things. Our fall sports are beginning and well, I found myself enjoying the A/C anytime I was indoors. 🙂
Today, I’d love to chat with you a minute about things I’m obsessed with as of lately. These are things that if we had coffee or met up for lunch, I’d probably bring up to you because I’d want you to know or hear about them as well…
#1 Devotional and Bible Study-Ladies, I’ve shared both of these before but they’re both worth another share. Since starting this devotional and this Elijah bible study I’m absolutely GIDDY about getting up early in the morning to dive into each of these. I’m practically popping out of bed to learn more about God’s word. These might not be the study or devotional for you, but find something you can really connect with when you’re studying the Bible so you’re excited to hop out of bed as well.
#2 Tennis Dresses-Don’t worry, I’m still a fan of tennis skirts/skorts but tennis dresses have hit the scene and I’m here for it. It’s a way to look put together in the Texas heat but not get incredibly sweaty by wearing denim or any other thick fabric. This is mine and I sized up for more length. You can see a few other options here. You can dress these up with a sandal or dress them down with sneakers. Have I ever played tennis in one of these? No! But if you saw me out, you’d never be sure. Right?
#3 Older Kid Chats-I’m a mom who’s said over and over that I wish my kids could go back to being little and have even whined a bit about them growing up. But guys, I’m so into these older kids. We have THE MOST fun chats about school, friends, sports, and basically anything that gets brought up. Our dinner table discussions are crazy entertaining and while I’m rarely stealing any super sweet moments with them like I did when they were little, I live for all the fun I get to have with these older kids. Again, I’d like to go back to the young mom who sobbed when Ebby Lee went to kindergarten and share all the fun that awaits throughout her school years. Basically I’m here to say that teens are so much fun. Trust me, you’re gonna love the days ahead.
#4 All Things Football-Yes, yes, yes! I’m HERE for football season! I’m ready for our Fantasy Football League to kick off. I’m ready to wear these football helmet earrings multiple times a week. I’m ready for Game Day food. I’m ready for five nights of football on my television. {If someone could go back and tell my recently married twenty-two-year-old self I’d one day say that, I’d NEVER believe you! But look at me now!}. With three boys in my house who are football obsessed it was either jump on board and get to bond with them over football chats or sit out on ALL these talks. I quickly jumped in and am so glad I did!
#5 Outdoor Walks-I told you before that I turned forty and this body started changing. I quickly realized I was gonna need to do a little changing myself so one thing I’ve become obsessed with are daily walks. I prefer to be walking as I chat with a friend, listen to a podcast or walk Champ. Getting outside energizes me and gives me all the good feels for the rest of my day.
#6 Food Bowls-Last but definitely not least I’m currently obsessed with feeding my family a bowl of some sort….salmon bowls, taco bowls, burger bowls, fajita bowls, Greek bowls, etc. You get the idea. :). It’s my FAVORITE way to serve dinner because there are so many sides or toppings that everyone is bound to have a favorite or two in the line-up. Seriously, if you wanna know what the Slaughters are having for dinner anytime soon, put your money on any type of “bowl”. To take a page out of Joshua, {the editing is all mine}, “As for me and my house, I’ll be serving us bowls”. 😉
What about YOU?! Do you have a MUST read book, show, dinner you’re feeding your family, snack, activity, hobby, etc? What are YOU currently obsessed with? I’d LOVE to know!
Hope you guys have a great Wednesday! See you back here on Friday!
