Love Marriage

Remember back in the day when I (and all of blog land) would do a What I�m Loving Wednesday ? Well, I�ve decided to bring it back today and who knows? Maybe I�ll have the urge to do it again and again and again. But for now, let�s just love today and call it What I'm Loving Tuesday. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ - I�m loving that Spring has finally reared her little head. It took her long enough but I think she's got this now! Our beautiful bush in our front lawn has bloomed and I'm appreciating it for as long as I can as it'll be gone so soon! - I'm loving the Greatest Showman's soundtrack. I loved, loved the movie so I get all the feelings when I sing along. - I'm loving Sean because, well, I don't know a day that goes by that I don't love that man. He's my favorite! ♥ - I'm loving that right now there is no need for central air or the heat. Windows open and a fan blowing softly is all I need. - I'm loving peppermint oil! 10-15 drops of pepper...

I�ve begun new habits that have really helped to make life seem less hectic. Whether it�s making daily list of small things to do around the house or making all our meals for the week on Sunday , it just helps to keep me feeling balanced and like I�m staying on top of things and on myself. I don't handle being overwhelmed very well, so I try to do anything I can to help alleviate that. I�ve even begun to put simple things on my list like, put on a face mask, to remind myself to take a few minutes to do something good and relaxing for myself. I'm aware that it's silly but I've noticed that if it's on the list, I actually take the time to do it. I find that the more I do simple things I love on a daily basis, the less on edge I feel. Reading a few chapters in a new book, lighting a new candle, memorizing a scripture, watching a romantic girl flick, or just having a small bowl of ice cream. These little actions (as ridiculous as it may sound) make me feel like eve...

Sean�s mom had a heart attack two months ago. It took a while to write about because it was such a scary experience. This might sound selfish but Sean�s mom is so good to me and the thought of not having any moms in our lives was enough to make me feel really sorry for us. There�s nothing like a mom. She had to have a quadruple bypass surgery and spent two weeks in the hospital but she is back home and recuperating. Slowly but surely. She even asked if she could watch our fur-babies while we're in San Francisco so that's a big sign that she's getting and feeling better. Sean�s mom has been through so much health wise. She had stage 4 colon cancer and beat it, has muscular dystrophy and now just had a heart attack. She keeps fighting and pushing through and I hope that we have her for many more years because to be honest, Sean is such a mama�s boy. I�m not just saying this, he truly is. He calls his mom about five times a day (sometimes more!) and often he doesn�t even...

excited that our first trip to San Francisco is just a few weeks away! craving LaCroix (the coconut flavor) every single day lately. needing to begin packing for San Francisco. I�m going to try to pick up a new habit this year and not wait for the last minute to start packing. thankful for health. I took great health for granted a few years ago but now, I�m just so, so grateful for it. It�s an incredible blessing to be healthy and well, both physically and mentally! wanting it to be 3:30pm that way I can go home and cuddle with my fur-babies. loving This is Us. I just love how I can feel so many emotions while I watch this show. Whoever came up with this show, you are brilliant and thank you! missing my mom every single day. wearing a floral cardigan, black maxi dress and black booties. We have weather in the 60s today, in February!! thinking about the places I want to visit when we are in San Francisco. If you�ve been, please give me your must do tips. Thanks in advan...

Although I celebrate love year round, I love that there is a specific month in the year dedicated to celebrating it. I simply love, love. It feels like for a while it seemed uncool to like Valentine�s Day and I even felt embarrassed to share that Sean and I's dating anniversary is on Valentine's Day. But as I get older I realize just how silly that is. You don�t necessarily have to have a significant other to celebrate love. Love comes in so many forms. Your love for your family. Your love for your friends. Your love for your fur-babies. Your love for pretty much anything. Celebrating love is not clich�. Celebrating love is not uncool. Because if I�m to be honest (and possibly a little corny), I think what the world needs now, more than anything is love. Wouldn�t we all be so much better for it? So this year, forget what you�ve been told about Valentine�s Day and about how it is a commercial holiday. Instead take a moment to reflect on all that you love and really ta...

There was a time that every vacation we took or event we were going to meant that I needed to go shopping for new clothes. I don�t know why that was the case but I do recall following fashion blogs that never repeated an outfit and I just felt like I needed to do the same. It wasn�t realistic and absolutely unnecessary but try telling me that a few years ago. In 2015, when my mom passed away, I got a bit of a wakeup call and I realized just how ridiculous a lot of my practices were. I didn�t want to be that person; I knew I couldn't be that person. So following that realization I made it that with every event, I would first shop my closet before purchasing anything. Yes, this isn�t some new idea but when you've ignored this practice for quite some time it kinda became one. I�m not saying that I don�t shop anymore for new clothes or shoes (let's be real), I�m saying it is a lot less than it use to be. I�m not just picking up new items to pick up new items. Instead I...
