random...

i feel like i haven't been sharing as much as i'd like to lately... it's the end of the semester for me and i've been a little busy with that... took one final this morning...

 and my last one is on monday... i CAN'T WAIT to be finished and begin my summer break...

so... through some random pictures i'll give you a little peek into life over here for the last week or so...

marina got a hat...

i am STILL organizing in my creative space...

i'm completely enjoying every page of this new magazine... mollie makes

our dogwood tree is blooming... love that tree... it's as tall as our house...

yesterday i took a stroll to the side of our house that needs some gardening love and look what was in bloom... pink azalea and lilies of the valley... {lilies of the valley remind me so much of my grandma g's house}

it was a nice surprise...

and cherry blossoms... sorry for the flowery overload but i'm just so stinkin' happy that it FINALLY feels and looks like spring in ohio...

sweet marina painted this star for her teacher... they are hanging them all in the hallways for teacher appreciation week next week... 

i started the #52milesinmay challenge... you can follow along, too... it's hosted by @hausofgirls {check it out on instagram}

got some new shoes... and so far have walked 8 1/2 miles in 2 days... and i kinda like listening to "carry on" by fun for the last 10 minutes or so... just the amount of pep for me to carry on :)

curious... do you have a fun play list for when you're exercising? if so, would you mind sharing some of your favorites?

have a happy day~

supposed to post a post...

so the other night i was pretty excited...


 excited about the whole blog thing and i was talking with john about things i might want to talk about on here... i listed a few of them and then these words came out... "i wonder how often i'm supposed to post a post?" haha... supposed to post a post... try saying that out loud... it's pretty funny...
 

 

needless to say, i was laughing and so was he and in that moment i decided that i am worrying way too much about when i should post something, how many pictures i should add, or if i should be having a theme for different days of the week... i think i need to relax... there's really no need to over think it {and i tend to be an overthinker}... so i'm just going to share what's in my heart and on my mind at the time i sit down to write...  may sound a little random from time to time but i think sometimes random thoughts are good... it helps you focus on little things that sometimes you overlook, it helps you to sort your thoughts, and it helps you understand yourself a little better...
 

 

so without further ado... a little random from around here...

 

 

 have you tried this? it's fantastic... had some this morning... the caramel macchiato is my fave...

 

 

reading this right now... every single time i finish a nicholas sparks book i swear i'll never read another... why are they ALL SO SAD? saw a preview for the movie coming out for this one and it pulled me right in...
 

 

 fitness... it's so hard to stay disciplined... don't you agree? something i really need to get back to for myself... {bucket list... run a race... is that possible for a girl who has never even ran before?}

 

 

 my sweet maizie has a love for science and this is the terrarium she made last night... 5 bonus points for her right there...

 

 miss marina had the job of making her gingerbread look too sweet to eat... she designed the whole thing... her idea to grab a tiny paintbrush to add "real" blush to her cheeks...

 

 

i love milk glass... and the hobnail pattern is something i have a hard time passing up... tiny polka dots... can't go wrong with that... however i never, ever use taper candles... anyone interested in seeing what i'm going to do with these? tutorial coming soon... hopefully this week...
 

 

 and this little gem is why i must end this post... written final tomorrow and recorder final on friday for my early childhood music class... c-scale and my paddle... i will memorize you and you will not squeak...

 

have a happy day~
