some things i'm loving as of late: 

- how Elijah eats with chopsticks. hilarious.
- this gratitude journal idea. i need to start this. 
- have i told you yet that i love Mega Stuf Oreos? mind blowing. 
- this great marriage post


- looooove this headband. so creative and so so cute!
- this dress. can't handle it. 
- Parks & Rec marathons. basically been watching it every day and LOLing hardcore. by myself. it's not sad. 
- this toddler color match activity. great idea to keep Eli busy and learning new things. 
- Elijah's new stunt when he wants to get out of something, "Mom, I just need to talk to you." clever boy.

- i need new recipes for our dinner rotation and can't wait to try this
- this hilarious post about what bloggers say or do. right on target. 
- funny story: when we were walking out of Wal-Mart one day this elderly lady called out to us, "Do you want some free grapefruit??" we had no idea who she was and never eat grapefruit but felt bad saying no... so we said sure! so now we have a big bag of grapefruit and don't know what to do with it. thankfully i just found this awesome tutorial for using grapefruit to mop the floors. sweet!

what are some things that you are loving on this boring Thursday? 
maybe that tomorrow is Friday?? 
yeah!!!

I'm really enjoy your blog! How old is Elijah? I want to do the color matching activity with my two year old! Also, that graditude journal idea...love it!

Is it bad that I'm proud of the fact I haven't done most of the "blogger things" in that hilarious post link? She forgot to mention the awkward "How do you know her?" "....I read her blog." Good times.

I Freakin LOVE grapefruit! that's all i eat when i go home. Well, that and burritos. It's kinda sacrilegious that you are planning to use them to mop the floor! Send them to Utahhhh.

AH!!! I'm on your blog!!!! Had a serious excited freakout over here! haha, I was like, "Oh, a marriage post, I want to read!" and then I click on it and it's me! I am so glad that you love my Monthly Marriage Goals. I didn't realize they would be so popular, I thought people would think I was crazy! Of course, all of the posts that I think are going to be the lame ones end up being the ones that everyone likes!

P.S. Mega Stuff Oreos?! Are those better than Double Stuff? I may have to find some, where do you get them?

Love the pics of the little guy!! What a cutie...

Also, the gratitude journal is a must. Have you ever heard of Ann Voskamp? She wrote "1000 Gifts" based on this idea of finding 1000 gifts from God in her daily life. I heard about it in a bible study, and the speaker said it was one of the two biggest things that changed her life and happiness in her marriage. I've been doing it for about a week now and have just 22 listed, but already feel closer to God, happier and more grateful for what I have...
