Things That Will Always Make Me Happy

 Good morning! Today, I want to write about a few things that will ALWAYS make me happy. We need some extra happiness today, so I'll be looking for these things:

1. Coffee! In the morning, afternoon, evening, literally whenever. There is never a wrong time for a cup. It's the cozy hug in a mug you didn't know you needed. It's the flavor of the season (peppermint, pumpkin, or lavender depending on the time of year). 

2. Coming home at the end of a long day. This is where my chaos and anxiety melt away into peace. I love coming home. My little family is here, greeting me at the door with wagging tails. 

3. Reading/flipping through a magazine. Since I was in middle school, I have loved a good magazine. The articles and fashion- it's almost like Pinterest! There's something nostalgic about the glossy pages, flipping back and forth. Oooh, I could get lost in some. 

4. Buying yarn! Looking at all of the beautiful colors, neatly wound up into skeins. It's such a pretty picture. And trying to put different colors together to see if they'll look okay in a pattern (chevron or hot-girl square). I instantly feel more creative and recharged when I buy yarn. 

5. Reading my Bible. This is probably my favorite thing to do, and why I love to start my day the way that I do- with coffee and quiet time. I find peace, answers, though provoking scriptures, things to ask my granny about. I love it so much. This will definitely always make me happy. 

I hope you're able to find some things in your day that make you happy too! Whether it's the feeling of relaxing, or something in particular to help you relax, I encourage you to really appreciate it today! 

See you next time! 

xoxo

Spring Has Me Writing Again 🌼💛

  It has been a while, but I am back! It is so nice to be typing here again. After a busy fall, a holiday season that didn't slow down for a minute, and the harshest winter I've ever lived through, I finally feel like I can breathe, and write, again. I will do a quick recap of my life and then explain my plans for the future of this blog.  So, since my last post was in October, life has been full. Here's a little peek at what's been happening behind the scenes: 1. My cousin's wedding was a success! It was beautiful and now they are actually pregnant!!! I can't wait to meet their baby girl.  2. Thomas and I were fortunate to be a part of our friends' engagement that took place in Boston in December! It was so much fun celebrating the two of them and surprising the bride to be! Now I am excited to help her plan their wedding for next year! 3. I'm changing my career from retail pharmacy to hospital inpatient pharmacy! I start in exactly 3 weeks from today. ...

My Thoughts on a Random Tuesday 💕

  Today I am writing about something that makes me happy. I am pregnant with my first child, a son. I am going to be a mom, I will have a newborn in only 5 months. I can’t believe it! Pregnancy has been quite the experience. I can honestly say it is the most personally humbling experience I have gone through so far. I love him so much already, and I can’t wait to finally hold him. March 31 cannot get here soon enough.  We are having the most beautiful fall in Portsmouth so far. Even though I spent the first part of fall in my first trimester, not able to enjoy any fall foods/drinks/treats, I am getting to finally enjoy them at the tail end of things. I am enjoying coffee a lot more now, a safe amount, of course! We attended a Halloween party last weekend, and since I am working Halloween weekend, that was it for me! I feel like I am now entering Christmas mode. I love Christmas so much. I have Great American Christmas Movie channel on the tv at all times, I am trying to slowly...
