7 Quick Takes Friday - November 9th

I've been watching less tv lately and it's been awesome for my life at home on weekends and evenings! I thought it would be hard to give up tv but its actually been really great!.

December 3rd is the beginning of Advent, the new Church year, and my new life! Can't wait until I can share!

Berries for the 'sweet' crepes, and the batter in my trusty blender!

sweet ones were too delicious to photo before eating!

My teens gave me this really beautiful tribute at the end of our dinner theater on Saturday night. And some awesome flowers! There's even a video of it, so I can cry any time I want!

They are the perfect accent to my Blessed Mother on my newly rearranged mantle.

I have a small obsession with Instagram. It improves my picture taking skills one hundred fifty percent! As you can see from this photo grouping today!

I cleaned my office out the other day! With tons of Junk:

Without (so much) junk or with junk in an organized fashion:

NAS: A Day in the Life

It's 2015 and Tuesday so that means that we are back at the Not Alone Series ! A huge thanks to Jen and Morgan for hosting and for helping all of us ladies gather together to remember that we aren't broken, we aren't alone, and we are loved by God. Let's get back in the swing by sharing what our typical day is like! Tell us however you like, minute by minute or a blurb about your day! Be sure to answer these questions: - What is your favorite part of your day? - What is your least favorite part of your day? - Are you making any changes to your daily routine now that the new year has begun? Well my typical day use to be not so typical, but then I took a huge leap and got a new job that is a lot eaiser to have a routine that is pretty set. I am someone who loves routine, I crave stability, and although I can make changes into my routine, they have to be determined by me to stick. So a typical day? I set my alarm to go off at 6:46am, I get ou...

NAS: Travel

How do you travel as a single lady?! Any tips or tricks you'd like to share? Do you have anything fun planned for this year? Multiple times per week when I'm brushing my teeth in the morning I think about how boring my life is, how I never go anywhere. To be honest that is a complete and utter lie. I mean between July 2013 and March 2014, I hung out on four different continents - let along the time I spent traveling around the U.S. to Denver, New York City, Savannah, Orlando, and my parent's place. I'm the girl who bought a plane ticket to Africa and went into the bush all alone. (it's a great story ) Let me type that again - I went to the Congo, alone! I still can't even believe that I did that - it's the craziest thing ever ... but the most amazing experience of my life. So my off the cuff tips for traveling alone, they aren't super original, so be prepared to be underwhelmed! If you want to go somewhere, just do it - buy the ti...

NAS: Great things from this weekend...

I'm going to commit myself to write in the NAS series this year ... so a few random things on the last Summer Link-Up for the Not Alone Series ! I saw a few things I couldn't help but share with you on this Tuesday! From Kendra at Catholic All Year for the Feast of St. Dominic on Friday (8/8) posted on Facebook: one, very holy man! not sure if I could say the same thing... On the other end of the spectrum (ie: completely opposite of Holy Saint Dominic) - some late night fun! A friend and I love reminiscing about our years of childhood as Reading Rainbow . Go ahead, click over ... if you were a Levar Burton fan as a kid - this will make your Tuesday! Two completely opposite great things - but both worth it! Happy Tuesday Y'all! Also just cleaned my new kitchen this weekend and can.not.wait to cook in my new kitchen next week!!! Last night I packed up the last remaining items from my current place - it's official, I have just one fork, two very sm...
