Taking Stock 02


MakingWatercolor paintings lately. So relaxing!
CookingMacaroni at 10am because I have a pasta obsessed kid. Yes, this would be his second breakfast. That boy can eat!
DrinkingGrape juice and frozen seltzer (like a homemade slushy). 
Reading: A ton lately. I am going through some of the books that I have had kicking around for a while. I just finished a novel, am halfway through a parenting book recommendation, and then I plan to read one about an adoption story after that.
WantingA girl's day with my sister who lives in California. 
LookingFor toddler sized white t-shirts that don't shrink. They all turn into belly undershirts right away.
PlayingSword fights and legos with Logan.
WastingTime browsing pinterest. I had ignored it for a while but I am starting to have fun with it again.
TrustingIn God's direction for our little family.
SewingA pile of Logan's stuffed animals that have needed some repairing.
Wishing: It wasn't tax season. 
EnjoyingThe first day this year that we went out without jackets. (so nice!!) 
WaitingImpatiently, for warm beach days and cook outs.
Liking: Reading about different parts of the country/ world on other people's blogs.
Wondering: If we should sign Logan up for soccer.
Loving: That it is light outside much later. Hooray for being able to go for sunset family walks again!
Hoping: Logan's excitement for house chores never dies down. He asks if it is cleaning time yet as soon as he is awake in the morning. I know this is unlikely, but I can hope. :)
Marveling: At the fact that Dan and I are coming up on five years married. Sometimes I still feel like nineteen year old newlywed me. Time flies when your having fun, I guess!
NeedingTo do some spring cleaning/ organizing. Anyone else notice everything piling up during the winter?
AnticipatingBlueberry picking with Logan. He loved it so much last year, and talks about it constantly.
Contemplating: Cutting my hair once the weather warms up. But I love having it long too. Decisions.
SmellingThe last of my favorite orchard peach candle. 
Wearing: Yoga pants and a long sleeved tee shirt. Mom life. 
Following: Some fashion blogs. I am not good about putting a lot of effort into that type of thing, but I do love seeing the looks other ladies put together.
NoticingThat I haven't backed up our pictures in way too long. So not good.
KnowingLogan fights napping until he has bags under his eyes, but still really needs them. 
Thinking: I am ready to try some more DIY furniture makeovers. Yard sales are right around the corner!
PrayingFor the single or teen moms out there. Parenting can be so hard even when it is done as a team. So I am praying for a little extra strength and love to be sent their way.
Bookmarking: This yummy sounding chicken recipe. 
OpeningThe magazines that came in the mail today.
Giggling: At the conversation Logan and I had while playing "store" the other day....
Me: Okay sir, I would like to buy this mr.potato head please.
Logan: Okay that is six hundred dollars.
Me: Daddy would not want me to pay that much for a potato.
Logan: But he's not the customer.
FeelingSo incredibly blessed.

  1. You were 19 when you guys got married?! So young! Granted, I was 21 and people usually look at me like I'm growing an extra set of arms when I tell them I got married a few weeks after turning 21, but still! ;) This year we celebrate 11 years together and 7 years of marriage... I'd say I feel pretty solid about our choice to marry young. ;)

    Also, I hope Logan does continue to love to do chores! What a sweet little one!

    1. Yes, we got plenty of those looks/comments too. ;) We met in seventh grade and dated all the way up through high school. So it felt like we had been together forever even though we were still really young. I am with you about not regretting it one bit!
