April So Far + New Things!

 Hello reader, and welcome back!

I am so glad you're here today! Just a quick recap on what's new with me...

I had the best birthday week ever, my new job is great so far, and I have been working out more than ever. I am feeling content and accomplished. What a combo, right?! I'll share some pics of this month so far below!


Myrtle Beach Airport!

Enjoying iced coffee on the screened in porch!

We had perfect weather every day that week in Myrle Beach

I've been going to Trader Joes once a week now for the last few weeks, they have the best quick lunches!

Thomas and I on our way to enjoy restaurant week in Portsmouth! (yes I'm wearing a turtle neck because we had 40 degree weather that day -_-)

This has been me lately. Regina and my yarn in my lap every evening. 

Regina and Joey love to get in the Bible

Okay, so there are my little moments from the month so far.

Since it is Monday, the beginning of the work week, I want to talk about new beginnings. I love new things ✨

Here in Portsmouth, it is beginning to warm up! This week, the weather should be in the 60's with some showers, but mostly sunny days! YAY! Winter is finally over! (Although right around mid-July, I will be pining away for fall...) For now, though, I am more than ready for quiet time on the deck, hanging out outside, swimming in the pool, going to the beach for the day, eating outdoors, etc. I love warm weather. 

I am getting an new-old sewing machine! One of Thomas' aunts heard me mention buying one soon and offered to give me hers since she doesn't use it anymore. I made sure she was serious because I didn't want to take away someone's sewing machine! She assured me that it has just been sitting in her closet, so now it's mine! My in-laws will bring it with them next time they come up for a visit and I am very eager to learn how to use it! I already have a dress pattern, so once I get the machine here, I will buy some fabric and begin! I know it's going to be hard work, but I'm ready. I love learning new crafts. 

I hope you are able to take stock of what's new in your life this week. There's something hopeful about noticing the fresh things - it's almost energizing! 

Cheers to a great week!

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. ...

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 ...
