The holidays are over! Time is barreling on these days, this year is fast disappearing in a series of major life events, all good so far but blink and you can skip a whole month. I think that is why I like participating in Things I’m loving; it breaks off a week-sized piece of life and allows a little reflection of that every day stuff that so easily gets lost…
I’m loving father and son time. Dave’s job has gotten progressively more stressful as he takes on more and more responsibility but I think little boys and lego make an exceptional distraction and stress reliever!
I’m loving learning how to knot these cute bracelets and using unworn rings as the accent! Once I have found the perfect thread I may make a DIY tutorial to pop up. These look great in multiples and combined with a big’ol bangle party on your wrist.
I adore the end of term when we actually get to see some of the art work E produces in the classroom. This Ted Harrison replica painting is definitely my favorite piece of Kid Art EVER!
Finding these flag pillows at Briscoes cemented the theme of Ethan’s room in my head. Embracing both sides of his family is so important to both him and Dave and I, I love these little reminders of his mixed heritage and the two countries he can call home {if only I had my wits about me and thought to match his linen with the roman blind fabric! Decorating blunder # 93}.
Loving my manicure this week, like anything, the more you practice the better you get. OPI Bubble Bath and Orly Tiara.
Both Dave and E love to cook, this week they whipped up a southern favorite {so I’m told!}, Sloppy Joes aka Manwiches. This exotic(?) dish was met with rave reviews! Love guys that take charge in the kitchen x

I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something you can be thankful for..no matter how simple it is.
