A little bit of what is going on with me!
Cooking…scones.  Oatmeal ones, to be specific.  I have also been on a kick with trying some new recipes that I have had typed on virtual sticky-notes on the front of my computer and recently, they are calling my name.  I seem to be all about change in the kitchen lately and with a weekly Farmer’s Market for inspiration, my family can pretty much expect just about anything these days!  And I am planning on experimenting with chia seeds soon so we will see how that goes.

Sweating…to Insanity.  I decided to stop pussy-footing around my workouts and instead, found the hardest thing I could find.  That kind of all or nothing type of mindset isn’t always good, but in this case, I am hoping it leads to a more steady workout schedule.

Eating…chicken wings and sushi, although not together. Ha!  I think I could eat both of these foods everyday.  And oatmeal.  And milk.  And peanut butter.

Praying…for some friends that are going though some health issues.

Crushing…on long necklaces.  Please forgive this rare moment of girlieness, but if I put on some jewelry, then make-up and decent shoes usually follow.  Don’t worry.  I won’t start recommending nail color anytime soon, but I am not ashamed to tell you that pendant necklaces are right up my alley.  And if it can withstand my 14 month old chewing on it, then major bonus points!

Reading…or rather, finished reading: The Aviator’s Wife.  Outrageously good book.  Has anyone else read it?  I just started a book club within my local Mom’s Group and that was our first novel.  The Light Between Oceans is up next and I am crazy excited to start it.  Any motivation to read recreationally (aka, time out for this tired Mama!) is a very good thing.

Spending…more time with my kids and less time doing things that can wait.  I have been extremely aware of how fleeting these early years are with them.  So, to that end, I have been honing my domino castle making skills, reading more books with a flashlight in blanket forts, and taking more pictures of the whole family doing everyday things.  Because those are the best things.
