Lately...

Today I thought I would share a few of the things that I have been into "lately". Maybe this will become a series...but then again, I am a fickle blogger, so maybe not :).

This book, Scream-Free Marriage. This was actually not my choice, but our small group at church is doing a study on it. Bryan and I have both really enjoyed it so far! Definitely different from any marriage book I've ever read.

Parker's big boy room! We're still a year (at least) off from starting this project, but I cannot stop thinking about it. So fun! This is one of my favorite inspiration images.

Christmas, of course! I'm not really thinking much in the decor department this year (I'm too Type A and our house isn't "done" enough to go crazy with decorations), I'm really just excited that Parker is a bit more aware of what is going on. Hopefully we can do some fun little crafts and I'm sure he will love the train that goes around our tree. (The kid loves anything with wheels--such a boy.) I'm really wanting to do a felt tree too, like this one...

Skinny Taste is one of my favorite recipe sites. We've made this dish a lot this summer. I like to add sauteed zucchini to it too, yum!

I am semi-ashamed, but both me AND Bryan (yes, my manly husband) have been addicted to Gossip Girl on Netflix all summer. And we just got to the point where Jenny is done with the show. Thank GOODNESS. She was driving me crazy. XOXO.

Watching this little babe grow into a little boy. He is so fearless, and such a little ham. He loves to dance, swim, drive his cars, and be a little dare devil. Boys are so fun!

Besides the money that we are saving for our laundry room renovation, I've also been setting aside a little for an iPad cover because we still don't have one (and just cracked our iPad screen because of it.) I love all of the folio cases from Plum Street Prints. 

What's going on in your world these days? 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Lately...

Loving....The time that Parker and I have been able to spend with Bryan this summer. Also...the rain that west Texas has been blessed with lately. I LOVE rainy days.

Praying for...To worry less. To be more content. Motivation and Courage. Tougher skin.

Resolving to...Not stress so much about having a "perfect" schedule everyday. It's taken a while to find a routine being at home and I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself.

Reading....I started reading The Art of Racing In The Rain. I was instantly hooked, but time has escaped me....I have been a terrible reader! I'm also enjoying Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. These devotionals are just what I need each morning.

Excited About...My trip to Colorado next week to visit my family. I miss them so much.

Nervous About...My half marathon in September. I think I might be pushing my body too hard too soon after having Parker...

Working On...New designs for the shop. New blog posts. Cleaning out the house. A really exciting shopping opportunity and giveaway for this month! Running. Lots of exercise and new workouts. :)

Trying To...Be a better wife. Soak up my time with Parker.

Missing...My family. Our trip to Galveston last month! SO fun.

Enjoying....The fact that I can be a stay-at-home mom. It is truly a dream come true! And Parker. I seriously have never met a sweeter, more laid-back baby.

Using....Instagram. Spotify. I am late to both of those parties....but I love them!

Wearing....This sparkle skirt from H&M all. the. time. Also these leopard sandals from Target.

Listening To....I still love the soundtrack from The Hunger Games and have been listening to it non-stop. Also....Cory Morrow and Turnpike Troubadours. I'm in a Texas mood!

Dreaming of....What I can do if I set my mind to it!

So tell me, what's going on in your world?

Have a wonderful and safe weekend :).

{I borrowed this fun idea for a post from Emily at Jones Design Company. We all know how amazingly talented she is. I admire her and love her blog!}
