7 Quick Takes Friday, August 23rd

For More Quick Takes, visit Conversion Diary!

1. These past few weeks, besides crafts, I've been pretty quiet on the blog. There have been a few reasons, but most of them don't matter. A few highlights from the past month - after getting home from World Youth Day. One has been I am finally using my Living Social deal I purchased for Okra Yoga Tea and Massage back in June - and it has been so relaxing. I have enjoyed going to the class so much (well, it's only been two weeks). I will be making it part of my weekly Monday routine!

2. I am home at my parents for the weekend and even though they all left me this morning! I did see that I'm taking over their refrigerator with all of my photo postcards!

3. A few weeks ago the girls and I went to Atlanta and then came back to take Devon out for her bday! We had tons of fun, and the mango shrimp was de-lish!

4. The other night MG and I went to a paint and sip class and thought we were going to be making this - a starry night over Charlotte!

Ours are nice, but they do NOT look like this! I can't even post it here!

5. Last Friday I took off so I could have some sanity time and to hold this little cutie! Silas David was just the cure I needed for this tired soul!

6. Speaking of cuties - cannot wait until my little godchild is born! For now, I guess I'll have to take hanging out with his or her momma! Happy Shower Day to Devon!

7. Finally the advice from this post has been amazing! Thanks Cindy for using this as a ministry!

Head on over to Jen and the gang for some more quick takes!

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...
