I love these posts about
what I love. Heh, heh. I love projects. Right now I'm working on a fun foodie project...
I love this white pitcher. I never know what to put in it but filling it to the brim with flowers from the garden seemed appropriate.
I love... no wait.. I'm addicted to this stuff. I love coconut. It gives a soft shimmer to the lips, makes them super soft, and the scent of coconut cream is dreamy.
I love date nights. (my purse and shoes ready for going out pictured to the right) I love peace and quiet... (which it was when I took this photo last night) I love little boys who ask to do chores so they can play on their DS for a half hour. (seen all nestled up in the background) And lastly... I love the finish on these barn lights. Sigh.
Speaking of finishes...
I love the new finish on the candle chandelier that I've just hung above our guest room bed. It wasn't working for me, so I coated it in a matte-finish white paint and now I love it.
It blends and fits perfectly into this room now.
Love that. I also love that our first overnight guests are arriving on Monday. Yippee!
Right now,
I'm loving the Well Fed cookbook. I made my own Olive oil mayonnaise today... it was fantastic and actually very easy with the use of my blender! Just egg, lemon juice and light olive oil, plus a dash of dry mustard, salt and pepper.
I love that my man plays games with my kids. And
I really love (don't kick me out for admitting this) that he doesn't make me play Monopoly with them all. (Man I hate that game. I'm really more of a "Clue" girl.)
I love photographing our afternoon snack. I can't help myself... I'm a blogger. And you know what? I love that. We just finished watching the Hunger Games and these figs were perfection. (My kids won't eat them though because they watched some survivor show where someone bit into a fly-infested fig. Weirdos. But I do kind of get that.)
And my
favorite love for today... Instagram.
Instagram... you complete me in every way.
What are
you loving today?
i pretty much love everything you love. it's good. we get along real well.
ReplyDeleteps: did you seriously make your own mayo? holy hannah!
I would love to know if you have to have a smart phone to use instagram...
ReplyDeleteAlas... sadly yes as far as I know. (I was itching to get mine just so I could get on it...)
DeleteAh, well...maybe someday.
Deletesuch loveliness here! that snack image is amazing. just perfect. and reminds me that i've never had a fresh fig. i've had fig butter, but not the peeled deal. i better try some. you've inspired my inner fig longings. : )
ReplyDeleteso, my sis is over (kelly is in switzerland on a missions trip) and we were going to get The Hunger Games. BUT. our RedBoxes were all out of em. i was afraid of that. maybe soon. glad you could see it!!
i love insta too. and i love following you! keeps me feeling a little closer to your world, no matter the miles. xo!!
You
ReplyDeleteYou are the third person who said they watched the Hunger Games today...we just now finished watching it! I adore figs and usually pig out on them when I get them. (and regret that later...ahem). Never tire of looking at photos of your house. Love it :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny because as I was posting them I thought... do these peeps get tired of seeing so much of my digs? LOL
DeleteGlad YOU aren't!! :)
Your home and family are MY FAVORITE photos of yours. :)
DeleteToday, I am loving the free time. After a week and a half of staff training in which my schedule was pretty much set for me and any free time devoted to staying ahead of the rest of life, having a day in which there were large chunks of time that I could do whatever I wanted - divine!! =)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that it's very sunny here and everybody in this country seems happy and upbeat since the Olympics (it was AWESOME!) and I still have two weeks before school starts back. And I'm loving that you posted lovely photos of your home to fill me with inspiration. Hope you're enjoying your weekend too :)
ReplyDeleteThose lights, those lights, those lights. I think I am in love. Where oh where are they from?
ReplyDelete:)
I found them at the hardware store- Lowe's... they were just plain silver finish (icky shiny) so I roughed them up, primed them, painted them with copper spray paint, then oil rubbed bronze, and once dry ran a light sand paper over them to show a bit of the copper. :)
DeleteLove those lights too! Great job with the finish! I love this blog!
ReplyDeleteLove the lights! My daughter is watching Hunger Games right now and I hate Monopoly too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am loving my wonderful group of friends. They pray for me and worship for me when I just don't have it in myself to do it. They don't ask for details about my struggles but I know that they stand in the gap for me and they do it out of love. They are truely wonderful women. I also love my husband so much right now for protecting our family and keeping God #1. He's amazing too.
ReplyDeletewhat am I loving today?
ReplyDeleteme three..monopoly. Hate games. Sad but true:)
Is this sad or what? Honestly..I am having trouble thinking
of something! I have had a bad cold for a week and I have been
miserable!!! I want to feel normal...ok here is one.
I feel a teensy bit better this morning:)
and I am loving Keurig now has Swiss Miss hot chocolate in k cups.
whew...
xoxo
I'm loving Instagram...
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the ever so slightly cooler weather...it's still 85 but at least it's not 105 anymore. :)
I'm loving that my oldest is loving school..praise God.
I'm loving that burger that I ate tonight with jalapeños and crumbled goat cheese. swwwwweeeeet.
I'm loving the bed I'm about to crawl into...nighty night!
