Joy in the Simplicity

Happy Wednesday! How's your week going? I am ready for Friday! I'm actually ready for NEXT Friday, because I'll be done with my summer classes.

I have a few posts on my blog about gratitude, romanticizing my life, making daily life special, and I have a JOY list. I really do try to live by all of those things, but somedays I can get caught up in life and easily forget. So, I'm here today to remind you (but especially myself!!) to find joy in the simplicity!!

This is my view as I'm typing this post. P.S. the ladder should be outta here after tomorrow 😂.

BUT. So many of my favorite things are in this picture. To start, a lamp. I can't say enough how much I love a lamp. Or can I?? Anyway, I love that table in front of the window. I love our house. I love the pink vintage placemats on our kitchen table. And I especially love the rain. It's hard to tell, but it was raining pretty hard when I took this.

Here's something I've been doing lately that I really really love....

Afternoon tea! I don't always eat something with my tea, but we had banana nut bread, so I had a slice. Such a simple moment, but I loved it so much. And of course, I had to use the china!

So, if you haven't done anything lately that brings you joy, do that for yourself today!! Have a great Wednesday!

Friday Favorites {12.8.23}

Happy Friday, friends!! Today I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to bring you some favorites from my week! If you missed yesterday's post, it was my ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY! One year ago, I set out to do something I've wanted to do for a very long time. I have loved this year of blogging! If you come here each week to read my blog, THANK YOU!! I appreciate your support more than you know! I have loved the truffles from Aldi, so when I saw these chocolates I knew I had to try them. They are AMAZING. I've been eating a bit of some each night after dinner! If you see them, grab them! I think I feel more like an adult when I have fresh flowers in the kitchen 😂. These red carnations are so cheerful! A couple months ago, Caleb decided we needed an espresso machine...so on Black Friday he found one on a pretty good deal and went for it. We're considering it our Christmas to each other 😉. Friends, I mean it when I say if I never go back to Starbucks again, I would

Let's Look: March 2024

I'm back!! Happy Wednesday!! It's the second Wednesday of the month, so that means it's time for LET'S LOOK with Shay and Erika!! In January, we "looked" at How We Clean Our Closets. In February, we "looked" at Little Things We Do Every Single Day. Today, we are "looking" at..... OUR GROCERY CARTS!! Since I was in Nashville over the weekend, I had to run in Trader Joe's! So, I went ahead and did my grocery shopping for the week while I was there. Plus some other goodies too! When I went to the TJ's in Huntsville, I said it was my favorite. BUT, I have found a new favorite. There are two locations in Nashville, and I've now been to both. The one on White Bridge Pike is FABULOUS! They had every single thing on my list, and then some. I've been to the other location over by Green Hills Mall, but I didn't look around much, so I can't really attest to how that one is. I snapped this picture of my grocery cart! This i
