my favorites as of late

~ When I put Raelynn down for a nap or bedtime, I stand and sway with her for a few minutes in her room. She lays her head on my shoulder and hums. It's the sweetest thing, and it is one of my favorite parts of the day.
~ Isaiah and Elias help set the table every night. They love to help out (most of the time).
~ The kids are napping at the same time again. Thank you, Jesus!
~ I love to have an afternoon coffee with a salted chocolate carmel from Costco and watch a Gilmore Girl rerun. It's a fabulous 30 minutes break in the middle of the day for me.
~ My James Bible study by Beth Moore. I have always loved the book of James, but I love to study it with a bunch of lovely ladies.
~ SUNSHINE. I cannot get enough of this sunshine shining in my windows. It is such a motivator for me.
~ Looking at houses. I'm addicted. It's so fun to look at old dumps and dream of how Bryan and I could make it a wonderful place to live. We are also addicted to making house plans. Bryan is really good at that, and I just throw my two cents in when he shows me what he's come up with. It's a big dream right now, but it's fun.
~ Being a stay at home mom. I love it. I never thought I'd be able to stay at home with my kids full time and stay sane, but now that I'm feeling better, I'm starting to cherish all this time I have with my kids. It's getting easier for me to let things go (not have a perfectly picked up house), and sit down and play with the kids. I love it more and more everyday.
