Thinking Out Loud #4

January 2, 2014

I love Amanda’s Thinking Out Loud linkup. So, here we go!

1. It’s January 2, and I am loving it! I am so excited for the start of a new year! New opportunities and possibilities. Yay!

Also the weather here in Ga has been rainy lately and I am listening to rain as I write this today and I just love it. I have no where I have to be this morning and listening to the peacefulness of the rain is a great way to start my day!

2. Speaking of peacefulness I have decided I want to become a yogi master, okay maybe not a master but I would like to greatly improve my yoga skills. This is going to be one of the things I focus on this year!

3. and speaking of focus I have spent a little too much time making oreo truffles lately. I am promising myself that this is my last batch for awhile. They are so addictive and not the least bit healthy, but man are they good!

4. Lily is still on Christmas break so we have been looking for fun creative things to do. Here was our little project a couple of days ago.

5. Also a couple of weeks ago I taught myself how to do the fishtail braid. It looked intimidating but when I watched a tutorial on it I saw just how easy it really is!

6. As I’ve been writing this I’ve had a little buddy sitting by my side so I will keep this short today! My little sweetie says Hi! 🙂

Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!

Thinking Out Loud #3

Thanks Amanda for hosting this day after Christmas Thinking Out Loud!

I woke up at 5am this morning and decided to go ahead and get up and savor some quiet time, just me, the Christmas tree and laptop of course! (along with some lemon water)

It’s so sad that Christmas has come and gone. The month of January used to feel like such a bummer to me. It just really did not have a whole lot to offer after all the fantastic fun of November and December. I don’t really dislike it as much as I used to, but still the day after Christmas is a little sad. But to cheer me up I’ve decided that ……….

a total house organizational project is about to go into affect! The girls got so many things and it already feels overwhelming, everything needs a home and today we will be working on that. We will start in the playroom and go from there. I know this will take awhile because I plan on doing a very thorough job. Some painting will even be going on in some areas of the house to spruce and change things up a bit!

I have several Christmas gifts I cannot wait to try out! My Clarisonic Mia 2! I currently have it charging up and I hope that it lives up to all the wonderful review I have read about it!

I received a bottle of Origins Ginger Gloss(it’s a smoothing body oil) and I tried it out yesterday and it felt and smelled so good!

I’ve had my eye on this Cookbook for months now and I cannot wait to try some of the recipes. Love Gwyneth!

Also cannot wait to start this new devotional and planner for the new year!

These are a few of the things that I snapped pics of yesterday. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Thinking Out Loud #2

December 19, 2013

Thanks Amanda for hosting the Thinking Out Loud linkup!

So here goes my Thursday randomness!

1. Bananas! I have recently discovered that organic bananas taste so so much better then regular bananas and they really do not cost that much more. Seriously you can taste the difference. Try it you will not be sorry.

Now I just have to wait for these to get ripe!

2. My life would be so boring without Cholula. I can polish off a bottle in a week sometimes.

3. Speaking of things I cannot live with, AVOCADOS! Up until a few years ago I would not even touch them and now I make guacamole almost everyday. I truly believe that avocados go with everything! I’ve made some of the avocado truffles that I’ve seen around and they are delicious! I really need to make them again. Yum!

I know this picture might make them look kind of gross but I promise you it was delicious!

4. Speaking of things I love lets talk about Mindy Kaling! I would love to meet her. I know we would be BFF’s. She is witty and fun, says what is on her mind and is always hilarious. Let’s be friends Mindy, please pretty please!

5. Speaking of fun…Cards Against Humanity, very excited to try out this new party game that my husband picked up… and it just so happens that we are going to a party tomorrow! Yay! Let the despicable fun begin 😉

Thinking Out Loud #1

December 12, 2013

Thanks Amanda for hosting this linkup! I love reading her blog and her Thursday “random” posts are always one of my favorites! Here are my random musings this Thursday!

1. My sole motivation for getting out of bed this morning was this!

I never want to know what a world without coffee would be like. Not for me!

2. Last night I made Amanda’s Chocolate Gingerbread Brownies and what is left of them is taunting me in the kitchen! I cannot wait to snack on them later.

3. I just love all things Christmas. I remember as a kid how it took forever for Christmas to get here, but now I just need to slow it down! Lastnight we made a gingerbread house which was alot of fun but about an hour after this picture the roof had already slid off so I think we need to work on our house building skills. We will try again next week!

4. Oh and here is our Christmas tree this year. I usually put up 2 big trees but this year decided on just 1. I just love the glow of the lights early in the morning and at night!

5. One thing I’m feeling really bad about this month is that I have not sent out Christmas cards. My cards are always in the mail by December 1 but it just has not happened this year. I’m thinking maybe New Year cards. What do you think?

6. How many of you guys do Elf on the Shelf? My girls love it. The first thing my 5 year old thinks about in the morning is where is Ralphie.

So tell me What are your thoughts this Thursday??
