Thankful Thursday!


 Hello! I am glad you're back! Today is Thankful Thursday and I am so glad to share what I am thankful for this week with you! As I have said before, gratitude leads to happiness, so let's get happy!

  1. My sister, Rachel! She is making some changes in her life that I am excited for! She is about to move into a bigger house, where she'll be neighbors to one of our cousins (whose wedding we will both be in later this year). Change can be scary, but she seems to be happy about it. I am looking forward to helping her decorate the new place. 
  2. Trying our new work schedule this week- my partner and I are going to test it out this weekend. I am eager to have shorter shifts, even if it means working more days per week. To tell you the truth, I don't know if will like it better than my old schedule, but I am willing to try it out. So, let's hope it goes well!
  3. I have worked out more this week! I have been very inconsistent with my workout schedule, but this week, I decided to make it a priority. Plus, I'm hoping that with my shorter work shifts, I will be able to hit the gym before coming home! 
  4. Spending more time outside and in our pool! This one pretty much explains itself!
  5. My health. I take it for granted most days, but I really am thankful for my physical and mental health. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with good health my whole life. I give you all the glory and praise!
  6. My husband and I are making some adjustments to our finances, and I am thankful for the opportunity to do so. We have a great financial advisor and he's been talking us through some changes to help us make the most of our finances now, in the near future, and later on in life. 
  7. Lastly, only two weeks until a pre-season Bengals game which means... FALL!!! I cannot wait for Fall 2025. I'm ready to have my PSL in hand, cozy sweater, and my favorite boots on like it's my uniform! I love fall fashion, fall decor, fall recipes, fall everything. When I think of football season, I automatically think of fall. I am thankful it's almost here! The anticipation is exciting! 
That is all for today! I hope you are able to pause for a moment today to reflect on all of the beautiful things in life to be grateful for. 
See you tomorrow!

Our Last Monday in August

  Good morning! I am glad you're here 😄. Today I want to talk about what I am currently crocheting. Grab your crochet hooks, a cup of coffee, and let's get into it! I took this a few weeks ago, one Sunday evening. Thomas and I were hanging out on the deck with our dogs, enjoying the warm weather. I should be finishing up with these hot-girl squares and I'll let you know what I make of them! I learned how to make a new hot-girl square... a skull hot-girl square! They are so cute and so much easier than I thought they would be! I decided to learn how to make them one morning a couple weeks ago when Thomas and I were at the beach. It was a perfect morning. We grabbed iced lattes and acai bowls from our favorite beachside cafe, and enjoyed the entire morning in the sand.  My first one kind of resembled a storm trooper, but I have gotten a little better since this picture! I also decided that I am going to make blankets for my family and friends. I have mentioned this before, b...

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 ...
