What I'm Loving

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Here's "what I'm loving" this week...

I'm loving Nutella.

With strawberries.

Seriously, I have given myself several stomach aches.

I feel like I need my mom here to stop me. 

I'm loving the plant sale I found on Friday.

Does that mean I'm officially a grown up? If I get excited about plants?

A nursery was going out of business and everything was 50% off!

It was overwhelming, and very hard not to buy more than I could keep alive.

I'm loving gettting back into my cooking groove.

When B was in Dallas I was either eating out with him or getting spoiled by my mom.

After we got back home I had zero motivation to cook.

But I'm slowly making my way back into the kitchen.



1. Chicken, red potato, and red pepper kabobs with corn on the cob
2. Red peppers with tomato and egg inside
3. Grilled shrimp...Yum!



I'm loving our first garden!

It is small, and we will probably only plant a few tomatos, but it's a start.

I will be sharing more on the garden soon!



{This was after day one. There are no plants in the ground yet.}

I'm loving our ice cream and movie date.
If you haven't seen this movie, go now!

It was so good.



Hope you're loving your Wednesday!





Absolutely PERFECT

On Saturday Shell and I were texting back and forth...

And she was right.

It was absolutely perfect .

Sometimes I just need to be reminded how truly blessed I am.

Thanks, Shell :)

Blogger Dilemma

I've been thinking a lot about what kind of blogger I want to be.
It's been almost a year since I created this little site, and I feel like it's time to reevaluate.

I am amazed at how many options and choices there are in the blog world.
I am also surprised that I can actually connect with other people.
There are even blogs out there with hundreds of thousands of followers.
Crazy, right?

There are guest posts and giveaways,
blog hops and link-ups.
There's photos, vlogs, comments, emails, friends, followers...

It can get overwhelming.

So I feel like I need to make a choice.
What kind of blogger do I want to be?
What do I want my blog to become?

Do I want to continue to blog for me, and only me?
Do I want to branch out and become bigger part of the blog community?
Should I link-up every now and then?
Do I care that I only have eleven followers?

Right now,
I don't know.

What I do know is that I love to write. 

I love having an outlet, both for my creativity and my emotions.

I love telling stories,

and I love being able to look back on those stories to relive days, moments in our lives.

Maybe one day I'll have one of those big-time blogs.
You know, the ones with awesome blog designs and professional looking photos.
But for right now,
maybe this is enough.
