The 10 Best Lessons I Learned in February...

1. Engagement Ring Settings Are Not Forever...

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON I LEARNED!!

~ From the moment I got engaged on March 20th, 2014 the lost diamond and lost wedding/engagement stories began. At first I was okay with it...then I got terrified. Then I was absolutely petrified. Everyday when I came home from work I immediately took off my ring and put it in my lil swan boat or heart dish because I didn't want to lose it. 

Sunday Stolen Moments: A Tiny Baptism for a Tiny Baby

{Pin}

Today I went to something special. A tiny baptism for a tiny baby. My best friend blessed her baby girl and it was an absolute treat to be a part of it! Lil Madison didn't even cry!! I was shocked. She was a trooper and held out to the very end. It was beautiful and it reminded me of one of my hopefuls of the year. 

Instead of resolutions for 2016 I'm concentrating on a few hopefuls I have not forgotten. One of them is hopefully getting pregnant later this year.  My husband and I are not trying yet to have kids but today made me so excited for the time when we decide to start!

A Sunny Saturday Morning...

Let it be known that I'm not a morning person. I repeat I am not a morning person!! lol. But I do have a soft spot for Saturday mornings...especially when I'm the first awake like today in all it's sunny glory!

It's been rainy and dreary in New York this whole week. My money tree plant even started to wilt from lack of sun. But not this morning...I just made my coffee and out of habit switched on the kitchen overhead light. I quickly turned it off because there was no need...the sun is shining brightly and there is barely a cloud in the sky!

Oh February...your leaving before I really got to know you and you definitely kicked my butt on your way out. This was a fast short month and I'm really looking forward to March!! 

Married Life: Communicating with My Husband

Aside from the "What are we having for Dinner?" daily debacle...there is another area of my marriage which is boggling my mind why my husband and I can't get on the same page lately. 

Communication. 

"Please Come With Me...See What I See"

 

"Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you see??"

~"Ordinary Day" - Vanessa Carlton

This weekend was crazy. Ergo, I need a little more time to collect my thoughts on that type of personal blog post. I could easily write "10 ways to have a successful estate sale at your grandparents house" but it's much more than that to me. It was a personal soul searching experience that tugged too deeply at my heart. 

In the meantime, today is Monday of a brand new week!! I'm pushing full speed ahead and thinking about how I can make this week a positive experience with results.

~ Do a little bit of something each day ~ 

~ Actually do the dishes so they don't pile up ~ 

~ Make smart & healthy choices for lunch ~ 

~ Forgo mindless spending ~ 

~ Have a game plan for my super market shopping trip ~

~ Say hello to my fellow employees at work w/ a smile ~ 

~ Go to the gym ~ 

~ Plan the Florida trip once and for all ~ 

~ Be mindful in my choices ~ 

~ Do laundry ~ 

~ Try out a new recipe for dinner ~ 

~ Remember to always kiss my husband goodnight ~

~ Go for a walk in this spring like weather! ~ 

~ Continue to put my wedding picture proofs in albums ~

~ Make necessary doctor's appointments ~

~ Be prepared for the next best thing ~ 

What are Your Goals This Week?

Happy Friday Everyone!!! This week dragged and dragged, but I'm excited to take a much needed break for the weekend! It won't be too much of a break - I will be helping out with my grandparent's house estate sale - BUT I will have Sunday to relax and clean! 

Hopefully I will be able to tackle some of my walk-in closet nightmares. Donate - Keep for Next Season - Wash to Wear Now. Hopefully the Donate pile will be big...I have purge somewhere and this is great place to tackle for me.
