- the stage bella is in. she is just soooo adorable. today in the car she said "mama! hand!" so i reached back there to give her my hand... she just wanted to hold it. that's all. kept squeezing her tiny fingers around my hand and wouldn't let go. i drove with the biggest smile on my face as i held her sweet little hand. love my baby.
- the sound of emmy's heartbeat. and the fact that my mom got to hear it with me.
- my favorite devotional ever: jesus calling. coupled with a good cup of coffee.
- the fact that nick&i got in bed last friday night at 11 oclock with mcdonalds we picked up on the way home from our friends house. just little things like that i love. especially when they're with him.
- shopping dates at target with my sister and nephew. when we're separated by an aisle, i hear jude yelling "auntie MEG!" and it makes me smile.
- vera bradley. i've always liked her stuff, but right now i'm in a big vera bradley phase for some reason. i got a big bag in this print for christmas:
and then just ordered this lunch bag the other day since i've been taking my lunch to work in recycled target bags...
- long conversations with girlfriends.
- parfaits made out of greek yogurt, light cool whip, granola and blueberries. i've had one almost every day for the past week.
- bella's bed sheets for her new room. ordered them from target and i love them. we're making over the extra bedroom in our house as her "big girl room" and these sheets give me a starting point to decorate. can't wait to bring it all together.
- my new no-sew pillows i created this weekend using this tutorial. LOVE. big fan of stitch witchery. will post pics soon.
- time with my family. we have all been glued together in so many ways in the past few months and while i wish it was for different reasons, i'm still so thankful for them all.
- my christmas present from nick; the tea&crumpets apron from anthropologie that i've been wanting (i love that he can take hints). how adorable is this?
- the combo on our end table of an antique aqua mason jar i picked up with some hot pink roses. love pink&turquoise.
- the hope of a snow day on thursday. nick&i have our fingers crossed!
- my necklace that mom, gret and i got after dad passed. it's made by lisa leonard and i love her stuff (also have a necklace with bella's name on it; need to get another charm for emmy!) but i wear it as often as i can and for some reason it gives me a tangible reminder of my dad and the amazing blessing he was to us, and many others.
anything specific you are loving lately??
hey, you should get a lunch bag like that for bel!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand, did you receive the kids size apron? haha.
i know, i would get it for bel if it wasn't $32! crazy. aaaaand i got it the other day in the mail and it was pretty small; thinking i need to exchange it for a different bag. anthro is also sending me the adult size of the apron... i am anxiously awaiting its arrival!
