Currently | September 2019

-
HOW is it already September?!?! Where did the time go? Honestly-- I'm not complaining, it's just crazy to me how time flies. Anyway, it's time for one of my favorite monthly posts! 

Currently, I am... 

making
more mindful purchases, especially with my clothing- I want the pieces I bring into my closet to be versatile and good for both work and lounging around the house. 

taking
more photos of my daily life. I am trying to find a reasonable balance between seeing life through my phone and taking selective photos of special moments. I find with me, it's all or nothing.

discovering
new kitchen gadgets that I'm obsessing over. I was watching one of my favorite YouTubers the other day and she had an entire dedicated video about kitchen gadgets. Did you know a grape cutter was a thing? Or freezer bag holder? So exciting. You know you're an adult when you get stoked about attachable strainers, folks. 

consuming
I might be taking this one too literally, but I've been obsessed with watermelon lately. We've gotten such good ones from the grocery store recently. My dog Cooper has been loving it, too. 

saving
towards our next big home renovation: central air/ heat. That is something we definitely need to outsource- my husband can basically do everything else but central air and electric work, so we are working on getting quotes and putting money towards that. 

 Linking up with Anne.

    I love Tiffani so much... I would say I want that watermelon cutter, but I'm the only one who eats watermelon in my house 🙁

    Mindful clothing purchases aren't always easy for me when it comes to seasonal transitions, because the stores are so good at making you want all the stuff, but I'm getting way better at it. I've been loving Everlane, with their really classic and versatile pieces, and the limited options they carry - so it just seems like enough is enough when you get a few good pieces! And central air/heat sounds like one of those projects that's not so fun to have to pay for, but TOTALLY worth it in the end :)

Friday Favorites! A hodge podge of random things

The other day I was going through Goodreads, picking out books I wanted to add to my library wishlist (I always say, searching for books is a completely separate hobby from reading, lol!). I came across Fredrick Bachman's newest release,  Anxious People . I always look at the quotes page to see if I vibe with the author's writing style. Man, does this book have some nuggets of wisdom! There are so many poignant quotes. This one resonated with me, just thinking about how overwhelming life can get when all those little things pile up: "Because the terrible thing about becoming an adult is being forced to realize that absolutely nobody cares about us, we have to deal with everything ourselves now, find out how the whole world works. Work and pay bills, use dental floss and get to meetings on time, stand in line and fill out forms, come to grips with cables and put furniture together, change tires on the car and charge the phone and switch the coffee machine off and not forget

coffee chat

If you and I had coffee, we would likely get a table outside. Mask mandates have been lifted here, so we would be able to feel a bit "normal" while sitting at a coffee shop with our drinks. I would probably put way too much creamer or syrup in my coffee, and you'd tease me and ask if I want some coffee with my cream. I'd roll my eyes but laugh because you're right. I love me a good indulgent coffee. It's the one "unhealthy" thing I won't budge on.  We would catch up, since it's probably been a really long time since we have gotten together in person. We'd agree that while facetime/ Zoom chats were an okay substitute, nothing compares to face-to-face girl time.  I'd tell you about how the weight on my shoulders feels a bit less "heavy" even though every now and again there are still some really dark days. I would admit that though they don't come as frequently anymore, they do come out of the blue. I'd talk about how

The best news I could ever share.

I haven't posted in a while. But, it's been for a really good reason, I promise. "For this child, we have prayed, and the Lord has granted us the desires of our heart." Someone pinch me... I can't believe this is real. I  feel so blessed and unbelievably happy that I get to share some wonderful news- we are expecting our first baby! We are so excited to finally be parents. I'm due early September and can honestly say that it can't come soon enough.  ❤ We can't wait to meet you, little one. Mommy and Daddy (and Cooper, too) have prayed for you, for so long. You are already so incredibly loved.  ❤ (I'm so sorry if my announcement causes anyone any pain. I know the feeling of going to bed every night feeling hopeless and empty. I know what it is like to see mothers pushing strollers in the store, and your heart yearning for that experience.  Please know that every night I pray for anyone facing the nightmare of infertility,that th
