Multitude of Thoughts: 5.5.2020

Thankful this week for :

Taco Tuesday, on Cinco De Mayo!

And a supper plan!

Health ; thanks to my mom for whipping up some cute reversible masks! And she used back in the day fabric, to bring all the feels on! Mother daughter dress material, PJS, and cute Taz shirt fabric ( I was obsessed with Taz back in the day!)

Financial blessings. Straight from Heaven at of course just the right time.

Wisdom from authors, still digging into Mark Batterson's Whisper book. Loved the chapter on Divergent and Convergent thinking and Doors. And loving my new bright pink pen to underline all the good stuff. The book is pretty much all pink.

Friends to stay active with ( little did they know, that they were about to embark on a Double Black Diamond Trail!)

Success with remote learning for our kiddos. Hannah is the one who feels the most disconnected from her pals, but between weekly calls with her class, online chat time with besties, pen pals and church zooms, she is surviving. Thankfully she has Gracie to have real life playdates with, and of course Lulu Piper is a fun doll to play with too!

Staff meetings get a whole lot funnier when everyone's at home! Miss them... yet so thankful to be home sweet home with our tribe! And in the sun!

Sedona. The natural beauty of that place is just breath taking. One of those "never gets old" kinda places.

Until places open, we love tailgating!

This boy & his personality. This moment, he was all in for hiking and when he is all in... its big you all. And there was no stopping him. We needed that because we still have someone in our crew that needs MAJOR convincing to hike ( the fear of snakes in her sweet little mind is very very real!? Sigh) We did hike and bike... but the behind the scene pictures would have shared a not so happy face for a few of us.

Milestones for Lulu - sleeping through the night, without any cry it out madness or anything! & finally eating people food! She would gag and shake her cute little head no, every time! But just yesterday on her 11th month birthday, she tasted... and it was good :) And she claps for herself.

Family playdates
Pizza with a side of Tri tip (When you marry a guy who loves cooking...), Water slide, Froyo and Duck Feeding!

Our little nest here in AZ is getting pulled together slowly but surely... slowly because we have no idea how long we are here until? And how do you plan with that in mind? Limbo is always a crazy place to be in! But we surely want to live in a cute space until we do know! So here are a few pics of our spaces...

From Trash ...

To Treasure

( And yes I did take all the chairs too and yes I did attempt to DIY from a Youtube channel to make them hot pink and no they did not turn out. But it was fun and kept me busy for a week! And our sweet neighbor took them from our garbage was like "Hey I like this vision, I'm going to go with it" So hooray for blessing someone else with hot pink chairs!)

And then this rug came this week you guys! PERFECTION...

My 1st experience with Wayfair... and we love their stuff!

Minus the assembling of 1000 piece desks tho!

Hudson and Hannah's shared space

Thanks to my girl Jill for recommending the cutest and easiest bedding to have a clean look with each day! Beddys for the win!

When Target has a velvet fuschia bed set.... how can I say no? I just let hubs know before he saw it... "scored some sick bedding- it's pretty neutral"... pretty being the only true word in that phrase ...

The comfiest couch in the history of ever. Big enough to be the only thing besides the bar, in our living room! And check out the bar or sofa table or whatever you wanna call it. (We needed a space for our kiddos to eat in the Living Room... and obvi with a white-ish couch, that is off limits, so check out the solution)

Harrison's space - let's talk about how he loves his own style and how cool it is that our styles connect! This is before his IKEA bedding by Off White designer came from Ebay... but it's still gray and orange... and now he has this desk too ( the 1000 piecer) Worth the time it took though! It's sharp, and it was on close out & makes the teen happy. WINNING.
