Around here, I have been:
watching the kids have a mega water balloon fight with friends at the park. We bought two packs of these and they worked relatively well, but it always goes way too fast!
finishing The Cuckoo’s Calling – finally! At the recommendation of a friend, I started Struck by Lightning. Whew – deep read, but an important reminder to keep your eyes on the One who matters most. I’m also reading A Spoonful of Sugar: A Nanny’s Story from the library.
purchasing a flower girl dress for Sophia and a few (hopefully successful!) choices for me. My brother is getting married this fall and I’ll be a hefty 30 weeks along, so my options are pretty limited. I ordered three dresses from ASOS and am praying at least one of them works!
drinking ice cold lemonade from Chickfila, my favorite on a hot day.
eating way too many pieces of licorice. Mark (bless him) came to my rescue when I mentioned a craving and I’ve been sneaking a few at a time when the kids are distracted. Did you see this post from Bunmi Laditan on Facebook this week? Um…guilty. I don’t want to share!
finding my groove as I work on Big White Farmhouse this week:
+ I started tracking my hours which surprisingly kept me on course and helped me avoid Facebook scrolling rabbit trails. Monday-Thursday totals: 3hrs 45min, most likely rounding out to 5hrs by the end of the weekend.
+ Being more active on Instagram is a lot of fun and I’m discovering so many wonderful, talented ladies. I also connected with a talented sign maker and am so excited to carry her work in our shop!
+ I photographed and entered a bunch of new vintage products to the site with even more to come!
