All The Things

Wrapping up another week and heading into a holiday weekend. Here are a couple of things I am loving from this past week.

Number One - Putting on an outfit other than my normal momiform and walking across the backyard to celebrate our sweet neighbor’s birthday and sing karaoke.

Number Two - Watching Jane Taylor obsess over this Frozen book. I love watching her just study each page and ask all the questions. She recently got to watch Frozen for the first time and is hooked! I mean we all are. I love finding a Little Golden Book for any movie or show that she enjoys. She was the same with the Cinderella book after watching Cinderella for the first time.

Number Three- This recipe from The Defined Dish. I’ve been trying to cook from her website at least once or twice a week. I love the healthy spin on some favorites and getting the opportunity to try new ingredients.

Number Four - Getting my own lunchbox! Jane Taylor has used this lunchbox for the past year and it has been awesome. Most days I go ahead and pack it in the morning just in case we decide to venture off for a picnic or go to the pool. Some days she eats right out of it at the kitchen counter. Tired of packing my own lunch in random containers, I finally broke down and got one for myself too and I love it.

Number Five - This devotional. I’ve been using this book daily since the start of 2020. But this week there were several devotions about how God is in control. Devotions I always need to hear but was really searching for this week. I shared the verse from Psalm 135:7 yesterday on stories “He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lighting for the rain and brings the wind from His storehouses.” For some reason whenever I am reminded that God is in control of the weather, I feel more at peace about how He is in control of my life. This week that need to be in control myself felt a little heavier than normal so the reminder that HE is was much needed.

Hope y’all have a safe & socially distanced holiday weekend. Happy 4th!
