Because of your cross my debt is paid

Because of your blood my sins are washed away
Now all of my life I freely give
Because of your love, because your love I live

I love labor day

I am off at my most favorite place Pacific City, OR enjoying a relaxing weekend with my family. We've been going every year since I can remember and it is my most favorite Reilly Family tradition. 

I am so excited to play cards, read magazines, wear sweat pants and no make up and spend some quality time with my family and friends.

1. If I didn't have to work anymore I would ohhh this is the best question of my life-- so many things. have babies, be a really good cook, have a beautiful clean cute home, hang out with soo many high school girls, babysit until I had my own babies, craft, organize people's closets, drink coffee and have long quiet times, work out every day.. OH the dream list could go on and on

2. My favorite thing about a vacation is not having a lot of set plans, being able to be spontaneous and go with the flow. my regular life is not like that at all.

3. When packing for a trip I am all over the place. I've tried bringing lots of stuff, I've tried bringing not a lot, I've tried pre picked out outfits. Still haven't found the best place for me but packing is really easy for me. I go on weekend trips a lot and have gotten good at that!

4. If I could go on a road trip with anyone (dead OR alive) I would choose um. my husband?

5. My top 3 absolute travel essentials are my pillow, my facewash and my yoga pants

6. Vacations are so super wonderful.

7. On vacation you must always unplug and relax!

ALSO: super awesome giveaway over at A Diary of Lovely, but don't enter because I want to win it!! :)

wish I was here wednesday

I want to escape. Why does it feel like all of the most impotant things in life get clouded by the things you have to do? Why do we need money to live in this world? And why do we have to waste our days in a place that drains us and makes us unhappy and leaves us no time for the things that we love to do and the things that really matter in life?

dreaming today and seeking the Lord to be in a space of calm and peace.

....I have't had my coffee or quiet time today.... and it's cloudy and cold outside

street of dreams

a few of my favorite things from the Portland Street of Dreams

this super efficient office space (with sliding door in front of it to hide the mess)

this couch

this backyard garden

this awesome fire pit space with room for lots of friends

this fabric

this Robin Damore wall. she rocks and is so talented

this wine rack

these french doors in the master with a tiny balcony

this amazing eating space

(this whole house was amazing and my pictures do it no justice)

this rug

this seating area (not a fan of the color mix)

again, more of the amazing house I can't do justice to

those framed windows and pillows
