Rainy days.

I guess when it rains day after day, they start running together. I am completely aware that I didn't get the little's updates posted last week. We've been enjoying just hanging out and playing together at home. Without even realizing it, I kind of unplugged us, the kids and I, from our media outlets. Less shows, Facebook, blogging, etc and just been together.

It's so refreshing!


I'm more naturally a get-out-and-go girl, but God is preparing me for a new phase of life. As we make the needed changes to become a one car family and continue to work on simplifying our life of busyness and media input, I'm so excited for the future of this little family.

Every time I think of ways to simplify our lives and focus more on being a family and what we can do to live and glorify the Lord! Because regardless if  the world ends tomorrow or not {only God knows, it's His call} our time on earth and in this life is short. I want to make it count!

So there may or may not be regular updates on the littles milestones, at least as the blog world is concerned. In the mean time, if you don't see or hear from us here, just know we are unplugged and hopefully on a family adventure, even if it's in our own living room!

Simple Pleasures.

I was inspired to write down my simple pleasures from a blog I enjoy reading. I think it's a great concept, to reflect on all of the simple things that can bring such great joy! So without further ado...

Banana Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake from Starbucks

When the temperature is just perfect, not too hot & not too cold.

Getting lost in a good book.

When my baby girl and I spend 20 minutes just laughing.

A clutter free room/ house {even it's only for an hour or so ;) }.

A Sonic Dr. Pepper.

Getting a picture of E smiling... that isn't blurry!

Relaxing weekends of just doing fun stuff... or nothing at all!

Buffalo Wild Wings.

When all the laundry is done! {ha, yeah right!}

Finding a killer sale.

Chapstick.

Grandma J's homemade mac'n'cheese.

Holding hands with Stud Muffin.

A new pair of shoes.

Turning on the radio just in time to hear your favorite song.

Answered prayers.

Well that's it for now, but I think I'll keep adding to the list as those simple pleasures pop up!
