365:294 - silliness and socks

365:294

I went grocery shopping this evening and I came home to this: all my boys huddled on the couch together! Love.

Earlier in the day, we had gone to Target (don't judge. I understand this may be an issue.) and found MICKEY socks in the dollar spot. JACK POT! Best $1 ever. ;) This shot is of Benjamin sleeping with his feet on the pillow. Sometimes, Joshua and I will randomly say, "let's go look at our boys." I love going in and seeing them all sleeping so soundly.

365:292 - an almost sad day

365:292

This morning I decided to descale our Keurig because it seemed to be running a little slower and didn't seem to be brewing an entire cup of coffee. Well, I went through the process and in the middle of emptying the vinegar-filled water reservoir, the machine completely stopped. I half-panicked as my mornings of a freshly brewed, beautiful cup of coffee flashed before my eyes! I let it sit for a while and visited keurig.com for some help. After some time, I was able to clean out the resevoir and the machine started slowly working again. I'm not sure what happened but I may never attempt that again!

In recent days, I have become more interested in Essential Oils. Many friends of mine swear by them and enjoy using them to save money for their families in the area of health promotion. I am ALL about health promotion and disease prevention (hence my college degree) so when I heard about the immune boosting and disease fighting elements of Young Living Essential Oils, I became more and more intrigued. My best friend from highschool also really enjoys them so I thought she'd be the perfect person to ask. She's down to earth, thinks logically, and definitely doesn't get sucked into things that aren't profitable for her family. So with that, I felt like I could trust her to tell me what she knew and guide me in the right direction. Well, after a few conversations with her and my pastor's wife from Louisville, we decided to take the plunge and see what all the hype was about. So far, I am LOVING the oils. The Lavender has been such a blessing when it comes to cuts and bruises, the Peppermint gives me a fun and tasty boost in my morning coffee, and the Thieves, if nothing else, has helped our home smell clean and fresh! I look forward to all the different ways that we will use these oils in our home.

Joshua has multiple graduate fairs in the San Diego area so we had the privilege of spending a night with Sue and Doug Roberts. They were such great hosts, welcoming us for dinner and fellowship! While we were there, we saw a couple hot-air balloons in the sky! So cool!!

About me

My photo
I am a redeemed woman who seeks to reflect that redemption by living out my calling as a wife and momma! My primary purpose in life is to glorify God through obedience by helping my husband and loving others. Of course, I don't do this perfectly, so I daily rely on the work of Jesus to count me righteous and rest in His saving grace!
