Thankful Thursday

 

    Good morning! Welcome back for another Thankful Thursday post!

    I believe that being happy starts with being grateful, so lets get happy! I am going to list some things I am so grateful for this past week.

    1. A wonderful vacation with Thomas' family! We had the absolute best week. I enjoyed spending time with our nieces, going to the beach every day, seeing Thomas' cousins, and so much more. It was a packed week!
    2. Being asked to be a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding later this year! Ahh, weddings... I love going to them. This wedding will be back home in VA in October. I can't wait!
    3. Finally getting over this cold! No explanation needed. 
    4. Going out to eat for Thomas' birthday dinner this weekend! He chose Moxy for his birthday dinner this year and I am looking forward to it! Going out to eat might be our favorite thing to do. 
    5. Being off tomorrow through Sunday! I love a long weekend!
    6. My special chair I sit in on my deck. This chair is actually just a regular chair for our outdoor table, but it is positioned so I can lookout into the yard, be in the shade perfectly under the umbrella if need be. I could (and have) sit in this chair for hours. I do my quiet time here, I read here, eat here, and I have even crocheted in this chair. It's magical. 
    7. My new nail color! It's a bright blue, a little brighter than I thought it would be, but as it turns out, I love this color. 
Of course, I have so much more to be thankful for! I could go on and on, but these are just a few of the highlights. I give God all the glory and praise this morning! I have a lot to look forward to and a lot to be thankful for now. I hope you have a great, thankful day today!

Fall 2025 Goals!

Hello! I don't know about you, but I am absolutely ready for this long weekend. I have had a crazy week at work.  Anyway, I want to dedicate this post to my Fall 2025 Goals!  In no particular order, here is a list of some of my goals: 1. Decorate - I want to go all out this year. I have a blow up Snoopy and Great Pumpkin inflatable in my Walmart shopping cart online. I want to have a pretty assortment of pumpkins out on my stoop. Last year, we didn't really have decorations up for the trick-or-treaters, and I want to go all out this year. I will definitely be posting pictures of my progress! 2. Watch lots of football - This will be easy as my husband, Thomas, has an entire room in our house dedicated to watching games. Of course, I will be crocheting blankets while he has the game on tv.  3. Dress up for Halloween - We will probably go to one of our friend's Halloween parties this year, and I am excited to dress up! I'm not sure what Thomas and I will go as, but I am ex...

Decor, Discipline, and Maybe even a Scented Candle🍂🕯️

  Good morning, reader! I feel a mindful essay coming on! Grab a coffee and maybe a notebook, because this essay has some numbered bullet points!  I have been thinking about discipline a lot lately. I feel like it goes hand in hand with attention span, self-awareness, and ambition. Is it becoming more and more rare? They say with smart phones, everyone's attention spans are diminishing. I have noticed this with myself sometimes. This is not a judgement- just an observation I've made about myself and the world around me. And I want to refine it for myself. I want to be disciplined so that I can live my dream life.  I am dedicating this post to 3 ways to be more disciplined in a world that has little to none. So, let's begin! 1. Why do you want this? I believe you should first recognize why you want to achieve something. Is it for your health? Is it for your career? Maybe it's less extreme than that. Maybe it's for your home to be decorated for Halloween. Whatever it ...

Flashback Friday!

    Alright! So today is a  Flashback Friday  post, and I'm going to write about one that I feel like anyone can relate to... Let's talk about Football Fridays! I remember how busy my Fridays were in high school. Now, I am busy every other Friday, working late and into the weekend. It kind of feels the same. Eh, maybe not quite- but let's keep going! Anyway, I remember how excited I would be getting ready for school on football Fridays. I was both a cheerleader and a band member, so I knew I had a lot to do for the whole day, especially if we had a pep rally. I basically didn't get to sit down from the time I got out of school until I went to bed. I was up doing something the whole time. And that's not even counting the early Saturday morning band competitions! This was one of our first band festivals as a couple! Thomas and I are high school sweet hearts 💜 Here I am trying to make sure everyone is in their spot for the dance routine! Our very purple uniform closet...
