Just a little post on some recent thoughts and happenings. Excited to link up with some of my favorite blogs today!
What We Are Eating This Week:
I had great plans to make a delicious-sounding Roasted Red Pepper, Mozzarella, & Basil Stuffed Chicken with Asparagus last night, but my tiniest Sugar Muffin had a reaction to some baby food, so we spent the evening cuddling her and ordering pizza. #RealLife However, you can see Monday’s Meal Planning post here with lots of yummy recipes (https://abbeydraa.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/meal-plan-day-3/). And here’s a super easy recipe for Nutella Popsicles too… you’re welcome. (https://abbeydraa.wordpress.com/2015/06/25/nutella-popsicles/)


What I’m Reminiscing About:
This little Sweetheart turned 9 months old this week, and I’m feeling alllllll the feelings. Where does the time go???


What I’m Loving:
This stainless-steel little ring that I had engraved with all my favorite people’s letters. I found the boutique shop, My Little Origems, on Jane.com and they were selling stackable engraveable stainless steel rings for $10… I ordered a size big enough to wear as a thumb ring, and love having all my favorite people at my fingertips (although two of them are all the time anyway, haha).
The fresh flowers on my table.
And, this kid.
What We’ve Been Up To:
Lots of this. Squeezing every minute out of SUMMERTIME.














What I’m Dreading:
My alarm going off at 4:30am on weekdays because my running partner talked me into 5AM RUNS, PEOPLE!
What I’m Working On:
I have a few small, second-hand furniture pieces that I’ve collected over the last several months that are hanging out in the garage… They all need some DIY love, and my husband is wanting his garage back, haha. Also, I’m working with this little Darling on getting more comfortable with solid foods.

What I’m Excited About:
Our two upcoming beach trips!!! We have a little beach trip planned with each side of our families… we missed going to the beach last year because I was 8 months pregnant, so I. Am. Pumped.

What I’m Watching/Reading:
Definitely on a Gilmore Girl kick (let’s be honest… I’m always on a Gilmore Girl kick), and I’m also 1.5 episodes behind on the Bachelorette… I knowwwww, I missed the finale! Hoping to get caught up by tomorrow. #SortaTeamShawn #ButNotReallyTeamAnybody
I love reading political thrillers when I have time to read. Love, love, love anything by Joel Rosenberg.
What I’m Listening To:
A CD that has worship music sung by Bob & Larry from Veggie Tales because I have two kids under 3, and then anything Jesus Culture/IHOP/Bethel when I have the chance. And, I’m from Georgia, so country music doesn’t make me mad either. 😉
What I’m Wearing:
A whole lot of this.

What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month:
Did I mention BEACH TRIP earlier?
Happy Wednesday, y’all! 🙂
Love that engraved ring! Looks like you all are having lots of summer fun! You need to get caught up on the Bachelorette 🙂 I was team no one by the end too! How exciting about your two vacations coming up!
