I Didn’t Want to Blog

Sep 25, 2014 /

I didn’t want to blog this week.

I wasn’t feeling creative or excited about it.

I was also attempting to recover from bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection (rough times).

And we have spent this week with my littlest sister because my parents are on a week long getaway (luckies).

So this morning, I woke up determined to blog. I’ve never wanted blogging to be on my to do list because it’s something that I love to do – so it should just happen. But today, I need to get back to normal. This is day 14 of being sick. Yes, I am feeling much better, but I have a pretty serious cough that is still lingering and my energy levels are at about 70%. So my getting back to normal today was putting blogging on my to do list. Because when I blog, my day feels a little more normal. So, here I am!

When you’re sick you get a lot of time to sit and reflect. You also get a lot of time to spend on Pinterest and watch Netflix. So today, I’m looking forward from all my reflection time and making goals!

1. Decorate my house!

We have one wall in our living room with something on it. I am not going to make this goal too lofty – like finish the whole thing, but I would like to add some fall decor and maybe finish another wall to make our house a little more homey.

2. 30 days of Hand Lettering

I have been learning calligraphy. This fall I would like to practice hand lettering at least 30 times. I plan on making something to mark off each day I practice. I really enjoy it, and now I want to improve!

3. Try new recipes

Cooking is not a strong suit of mine, but I wanna try to get better. I wanna try new soups, crockpot meals, and some fun fall recipes.

4. Organize, organize, organize!

I want to get some organization implemented in our home. The main thing on my mind is our basement and our 2nd bedroom. I also want to organize our paints and our home improvement tools/supplies.

And that’s it! My 4 goals that are attainable. And it starts on Saturday! I plan on sharing my progress every once in a while – like my hand lettering practice and any new recipes that I love.

Thanks for sticking with us!
Happy Thursday!

Morning Thoughts

Sep 19, 2014 /

Krispy Kreme does make you feel better on a Friday morning when you’re still sick.. or really any morning.

We’re gearing up for a full weekend of campouts, spa nights, and spending lots of time with my littlest sister. That means today will be spent in bed (hopefully my last day in bed) trying to beat this bronchitis..

Are you having a better week than me? When I went to the doctor this morning it was my first time out of the house since Tuesday. Praying that I’m on the up and up!

Hey, and it’s FRIDAY!

She Reads Truth {Open Your Bible}

Sep 17, 2014 /

I am home sick today.

It has been a frustrating few days fighting my body, trying to get better and failing. I thought on Sunday that I was on the mend. And then my back locked up and I couldn’t turn from side to side. And now as I sit on a heating pad trying to relax the muscles in my back and cough up nastiness… I realize that I probably should have relaxed a little bit more before thinking I was invincible.

And that’s all the life update you get for now because the I don’t want to share too many of the germs with the rest of the world.

But what I’m really here to talk about is this great little site that I stumbled upon (from another blogger) that I’ve really enjoyed these last two days. It’s called She Reads Truth and the series right now is “Open your Bible” (Click on photo to visit the site)

Like I said, I have really enjoyed it. If you’re struggling to find your quiet time, or struggling for some guidance on where to start, check it out!

I’m feeling encouraged in my quiet time. And I really hope you feel encouraged too!

Happy day!
