friday night thoughts

I've started this post a few times, paused, and deleted. I'm not sure why I'm in such a writing rut lately. Perhaps I feel like I have nothing to share, or perhaps it's because there's so much I have been wanting to share and just let the time slip by and it feels like it's "too late" to share. I haven't pulled my regular camera out in weeks, and haven't touched a sewing project in longer (my good old machine's STILL in the shop. Yes, that's months now.) and feel guilty. Yet, I also don't. 

How about just a little list of what I have been loving lately: 

- Ashley's post on having (or not having) and identity as a blogger. 

- The new #SheReadsTruth community and the growth I've already felt since it was created. 

- How Brynlee calls hand sanitizer "hanitizer" and olives "olivers". 

- The hot, steamy weather of this past weekend, and the sleepy rainy weather of today and (coming up) this weekend. 

- A sweet flower delivery surprise from my love today. Just because. 

- How Mac will try to sing "Jesus loves me" when I sing it to him and how he is learning to count. 

- The super strong kicks I've been feeling (from the outside!) from new baby sister. 

- The inspiration (and fading overwhelmed-ness) I'm FINALLY feeling to design and decorate the kids' rooms and nursery. 

- Potting flowers and yardwork and sitting on the deck after the kids are in bed. 

- New rugs and the feeling of our house becoming a home. 

- A few new cute (maternity) items of clothing. 

- Oh, and a big one: the She {hearts} It Baby Boom Virtual Shower... I have the great opportunity to review a bunch of great pregnancy/mommy/baby products and companies and there will be lots of giveaways starting too. 

 

 Have a great weekend!
