what i've been up to

is it really >>>---------->march 13th<----------<<< already!?!

my, oh, my, how time does fly!

how are you all doing?

i have missed chatting with ya, but i've been a very busy girl.

and i know that you have been busy, too!

i have been busy...

trying new things 

 

{artichokes brussel sprouts roasted in garlic grapeseed oil.  do this, please.  you'll thank me}
note!  you will only thank me if you buy BRUSSEL SPROUTS and do this.  i cannot attest to the aforementioned artichokes.  clearly my brain was on vacation when i typed this! :)
thanks, girlfriend!

drinking lots of coffee

 {and apparently feeling brave to post such a close up!?}

monitoring tea parties 

{enjoying my best friends new home}

taming ninjas

 {henry and his best friend, mr. jack}

cleaning

 {because my best friend FINALLY moved into their new house! praise God!}

taking random photos of myself 

 {because that's what you do when kids are coloring on your lap and there is a phone nearby, right?}

homeschooling

 {we love projects}

discovering my love for vitamix

 

{this is an amazingly delicious smoothie}

and there is a tad bit of a coveting issue happening here.

you see, the vitamix is not mine, but i REALLY wish it was.

accepting precious gifts

 {from a precious jewel}

enjoying the spring rain

 {during piano lessons}

going on roadtrips

{an opportunity to spend time with my extended family, while giving their momma and daddy some time away}

playing with my nieces and nephews

 

{so.much.fun.  all five of them!}

witnessing miracles

 {because God is the Great Physician, and He is still answering prayers}

oh, is He EVER!

feeding babies

{i just can't get enough of that smile}

admiring spring accessories

{because a tablecloth can make a whole room cheerful! don't you agree?} 

thinking about blogging about it all

 

{but not quite finding the time}

learning

{because it's the most important thing i could ever do.  for me, and for those that God brings into my life}

how have you been doing, my friends?

i know it's like a total picture overload, 

but how else could i catch you up on my life?

:)

much love to you all!

xo,
