GTKY

LDSJM123

Its been quiet around here lately! My favorite podcast does a Segment called "awesome of the week". It can be anything from a new song to a recipe, to makeup, to anything at all. Just something you are loving right now. 

So.

Whats your awesome of the week?

Mine would be binge watching The OC. Yes the show from 2003. I never watched in high school! It's very binge worthy. My husband started back to school last week and so I'm home with the tv to myself 2 nights a week, and this is perfect for it. 

The show has the perfect amount of scandal, humor, drama, and nostalgia since it's based when I was in high school. The clothes and music throw me back to the good old days too

My awesome for the week is my new kitchen sink. DD2 is scared of the shower and we are remodeling the bathroom with the tub in it right now. So she's getting baths in the kitchen! 

I binged watched all of OC in college when I worked at Blockbuster. Fun times!

I love this GTKY topic - great idea @LDSJM123! (I also LOVE The O.C. - I was one that watched it in high school and now own all the seasons on DVD Love that bad boy Ryan lol!)
Here's my awesome for the week. I've been working on this rug for my BFF's nursery and I'm SO close to being done with it. I've been following a pattern pretty close but I am just so in love seeing my time and work come together! Confession: I almost don't want to give it to her.

@HoneyBear40 That is Adorable! I so want one! And I second the awesomeness that is seeing your effort come together. I recently picked up my cross stitch that I haven't touched in over a year. Yay for creative outlets! 

Ive never seen the OC, but need a new binge show. I'll have to look into it

My awesome this week is a bit heavy. Getting back into basic routines and letting go of worry. I'm re prioritizing my life into simple, meaningful tasks and not worrying about what ISNT getting done. Instead feeling accomplished for what I did fully complete.

I've had a super crappy week so I needed this today. There's always something awesome going on if you look hard enough. My awesome is that my kids are so smart and so funny. They've been picking up on stuff so quickly lately, like waving their arms and quacking like a duck. When everything else seems to be going wrong, these little kiddos bring me such happiness. 

Also, I am so grateful for internet friends. The internet can be a magical place where you can form some seriously solid bonds.

This is such a good gtky this week!! My awesome this week is my fit4mom group! We jumped into action and managed to collect 47 cases of water between all of us. We raised $3000 and counting to help oue fit4mom franchise in Houston. I shared the info to help foster some of the pets and 10 moms opened their homes to help!! They are truly so awesome. 

@HoneyBear40 where did you find the pattern? I wouldn't mind making one for J's room. It looks so cute. (You know I kept wondering why you were making elephant ears on Snapchat.) 

HoneyBear40

@babycakesday The pattern was in an Etsy shop, my friend shared it to me declaring she'd love it for a shower gift. It's $6...or I could email it to you if you PM me (sssh...) Lol on my elephant ear snaps...they turned out gorgeous but were a lot of work. I'll be sure to overshare pictures once I finish and give it to my friend on the 16th.

@HoneyBear40 I totally don't mind buying it. I love supporting peoples talents! If you have the link that would be awesome. Although I really should be working on a baby blanket for my frienda baby that is due any day now.

Ice cream.  Elijah can now tolerate baked milk items and I've added dairy back into my diet.  Ice cream is awesome.

Man August has been hectic and all I want to do is sleep, but despite that I guess my awesome is that I've had a lot of work opportunities this month and it was timely because money is TIGHT right now. Along with covering a maternity leave for this month and next I also ended up getting two of my biggest wedding calligraphy orders to date so our bank account is finally not scary to look at. For now, lol. But it feels nice to be less stressed about money for the time being, gives us some extra time to figure out a better income plan for the next year.

Mine is now that my  Lo has moved up from the infant room at school and getting a decent timed nap from 12-230ish he is now consistently finally sleeping thru the night.  It only took a year. AHHH.   I dont want to jinx it.  LOL

Definitely an excellent GTKY for the week. This hasn't been the easiest week for us either. We went out of town over the weekend only to come home to our pup barely being able to walk. After three days of vet appointments we're hoping we have a solution to the problem. But jury is still out. We also have a lot of friends in law enforcement and Wednesday some POS decided to shoot a sheriff here. Luckily not one of our friends but that doesn't make it any easier. Still a life lost for no reason. It always helps to look for the silver lining - we've found a couple fun new shoes to binge watch - Ozarks and Gypsy. Love jason Bateman!! Might have to add OC to my list. I never watched it when I was younger but I bet it's right up my alley!

My awesome of the week is that while I worked on my actual birthday (9/1), I had an awesome weekend filled with a birthday dinner, brunch, a concert, and some hang out time with the little one.

We planned an impromptu long weekend to Seattle over labor day and hit up the city, hiked in Mt. Rainier, and went to Olympic Natnl Park.  It was so nice to be outside!  It was hard leaving S but it was so nice being able to do things that I wouldn't be able to do with her...ie: 14 mile hikes off trail to a glacier.

Thoughts on making this a weekly thing, our awesome of the week? I quite enjoyed it!
