Every once and awhile it's nice to take stock and reflect on what's going on in your life. This way, if I ever go back and read this blog years down the line, I'll remember a little bit of what my days were like during this season of life. (I think this originated here)

making || plans for Pippa's first birthday next week

cooking || skillet quinoa and chicken

drinking || a protein shake and Want More Energy? in my water

reading || "The Jesus I Never Knew" by Philip Yancey

wanting || to get rid of all the excess "stuff" in my house

looking || out the kitchen window, praising God that the sun is out and temps are in the 80s

playing || my summer playlist! bring on the country and Bob Marley

remembering || one year ago at this time when I was large and in charge, finishing up exam week, and preparing for baby!

trying || to eat more vegetables. It's not working.

watching || 30 Rock with Justin. We rotate that, The Office, and How I Met Your Mother on Netflix

deciding || how to fill our day. Walks? Playgrounds? Ice cream? All of the above?

wishing || Pablo hadn't just barked so loud he woke Pippa up from her nap

planning || trips to Wisconsin, Nashville, London, and Paris this summer!

enjoying || communicating with Pippa: roaring like a lion, baby signs, and attempts at words

waiting || for Justin's school year to be over

liking || long slow walks through Stillwater with the Pip and the Pab

wondering || why deli meat has to be so slimy?

needing || ice cream. Because summer.

wearing || my workout clothes...I guess I need to shower

noticing || how different life seems when I focus on gratitude

smelling || spring and mowed lawns and blossoming flowers

thinking || about how to simplify my life

buying || bike helmets for the whole family

feeling || content
