So excited to post my first "Currently" in a link up hosted by a Mama Collective and Home Away from Home. Welp, here it goes...
Thinking About... Mothers Day! Wow, it was a good one. I was able to sleep in, have bacon and coffee in bed (I hate all other breakfast food...I know it's a sin), and Mike made me a very thoughtful memory book... Once we got up and about we went to a local winery where they were also having a craft fair...ummm heaven (wine and crafts!! It could not have been more perfect). It was a beautiful day to enjoy the sunshine, the laughing of my children and contemplating what an honor it is to be a Parent. No seriously. Mike and I look at each other sometimes and just are in awe of our kids and how amazing they are. Blessed, we are very blessed.
*wait, can you even handle the face Gigi is making in that picture? I mean, what is that? =)*
Reading... Viva Jacquelina! Which is the 10th book out of 11 in the Bloody Jack series. I love it! My dad got me hooked on it because he discovered it and thought of me- since the main character is a strong, adventurous, sometimes bossy, spunky female lead character. It is a fun easy read--I actually listen to books via audible.com-- and the gal who does the voices for this series is fabulous. I enjoy reading easy, light-hearted, get caught up in the fun of it all books (dont judge if you might find this book in the juvenile young adult section). This series comes highly recommended by both me and my daddio.
Listening to... The new NeedtoBreathe album. Its Fantastic. My Hubby loves to binge on albums when they first come out, so l i t e r a l l y we have been listening to this album non-stop. I don't mind though, it really is great! Even Gigi sings along. I am really encouraged how boldly christian they are in their lyrics.
Watching... Scandal. Parenthood. Revenge. These are Mike and I's current favorite shows line-up that we enjoy watching together. I think we might drop Revenge after this season- its a little to soap opera-y for me. Scandal just had its 3rd season finale and it was a good one. Parenthood is a very relaxing tug on your heart show and we just eat it up- its fun to watch a show and truly relate with what is happening to the main characters.
Thankful For... The Hubs. He is really supportive of the time I need for ME. Even when he has a list a mile long of things he needs to do, he will just include the kids with him to give me a much needed break or time to work on blogging or whatever. Here he is with the kids heading off to Home Depot. What a guy. ;) Also....he made me a very thoughtful Mothers Day gift- a memory book of pictures (he made!) of our journey from dating to family. I love it.
Hope you had a very blessed Mothers Day weekend!
What about you? What are you CURRENTLY up to?
Love this! Sounds like y'all had a great weekend! And ohmygosh Mike is too good with the hand made memory book! So so sweet. Well done Mike!
ReplyDeleteThanks AK!! Yes, Mike definitely nailed it! I hope Ray spoiled the heck out of you!
DeleteI just did my first Currently post today too. Glad you joined! Your family looks so cute! I hope when my husband and I have kids, he will make sweet gifts for Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteLisa! I am glad I am in good company...us newbies got to stick together, ha! Glad you joined too! Thanks for stopping by....oh and I am sure when the time comes your hubs will nail it on Mothers Day too...it only takes about 5 or 6 years ;)....joking, totally joking.
DeleteA memory book--so sweet. And I haver to check out parenthood--so many people have recommended it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog! Glad to have found it through currently.
Nell! I was just over at your bloggy blog, right up my alley! Seriously recommend Parenthood, its on Netflix I believe (at least the past few seasons) and it might be a great show to watch when you have down time with baby #3 (Any day now, right?!) wait did I just say "down time"....does that exist?! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI hate breakfast foods too. Coffee and bacon - who can argue with that! I am so glad to have found you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping on by! Everyone always gives me weird looks when I say I don't like eggs...its like I am totally un-american, or in-human, haha. Glad I am not alone ;). Loved the Dr. Mom post on the Mama Collective, good topic!
DeleteSleeping in, bacon and coffee in bed sounds like a perfect start to the day! I'll try pretend I didn't hear that you didn't like breakfast foods ;) , I could eat breakfast foods every meal of the day. Excited to check out more of your beautiful blog. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a great start =). Man, I really do wish I liked more breakfast foods, especially eggs...I mean how easy are they to make?! I could get such an easy source of protein if I did, but alas tis not to be. Thanks for coming by! I am glad you posted on Currently and to find YOUR blog =)
DeleteGorgeous photos!! Sounds like you had a wonderful Mother's Day!!! and what a wonderful gift from your hubby!

Hi Becky! Well thanks for coming on by from the Link-up. Its fun to find a fellow DIYer and newbie to this blogging world!
Deletelove your photos, and I'm a fellow newly-addicted Parenthood fan. Though I sometimes feel vaguely like I'm watching an adult reenactment of Dawson's Creek...
ReplyDeleteLove, another FUS alum
