friday blanks

playing along with Lauren today! Happy Friday!!!





1.   I am  a follower of Christ, a wife, a sister, a Young Life leader, relational and organized

2.  The bravest thing I've ever done was  quit my job in December to start my own business. 

3.  I feel prettiest when    my skin is clear and I don't feel tired.

4.  Something that keeps me awake at night is   things I need to get done. Can't ever turn that mind off- whether it's an email that needs to be sent, a conversation I need to have or an errand I need to run.

5.  My favorite meal in the entire world is    mexican food for daysssss.

6.  The way to my heart is     through opening up yours

7.  I would like to      have a healthy body, free from headaches and pain.

warmth


I'm thanking the Lord right now for all of the sun He has been giving us the past few weeks in Portland. It really is crazy how much it changes your mood. Lack of Vitamin D and seasonal depression is a commonly talked about issue for those of us living in Portland. I am so grateful that this winter has been more cold and sunny than it has been gray and rainy :) Although the rain is comforting to me, the smell is magnificent and it gives us the WONDERFUL green trees we have here in Oregon.

I am however a little bit tired of being chilled to the bone all of the time. I love cozy sweats but hate when I'm still cold even when I have on a blanket and socks at home. 

Excited to wear these cozy outfits of TOMS, leggings and a T-Shirt. Perfection.

rue-tastic

some favorite scenes from Rue issue 3! 


I just can't get enough of the whites plus bright colors. Obsessed. 


SUCH a great idea for a party, have each gal come with a skill she is going to teach, take turns presenting and creating that craft or executing that skill! Fun, creative party for a winter day!


in NEED of a mirror this big. love it


so much white, so bright and loving the open shelves and the big deep sink. the mix of the white dishes and the rustic look of the shelves is a wonderful contrast


could add this to my post of jewelry inspiration!!
