Favorite Things

August 14, 2015

NotebookHappy Friday! After wrapping up some work related projects, I finally took some time off to take care of some housekeeping “things.” Some of these things been on my to do list for weeks, and longer, and have been loudly nagging me. They run the gamut from completing back to school paperwork for my kiddos, ordering velvet fabric for some chairs that I want to slipcover and taking a pile of clothes to my seamstress for various fixes. It feels so great to have them behind me and I’m actually a bit surprised at how much better I feel. I’m realizing that I don’t like having things on my to do list that linger too long. Today, I am starting a new series called Favorite Things, it will be a roundup of my favorite things from the week. I hope that you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

More and More

{a new book for my 3 year-old, More and More by Emma Dodd}

Cilantro Candle

{I love cilantro, a ginger scented version is available here}

Jackson News

{my boy hit a Grand Slam in baseball to clinch the win against a tough opponent and it made the local newspaper, I am a proud mama}

Notebook

{a new notebook that reminds me of Robert Frost’s Poem}

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Acorn Key

{a place to hide a key outside that blends into nature, I hope I remember where I put it}
