Hey everyone, I am so excited that March is here! 

September 1st = fall and March 1st = spring!  Or, at least that is what I think. It just feels like we should start celebrating on the first of these months. Why wait?

I definitely want to take advantage of all that spring brings!  I tend to get a little more motivation around this time of year so a little spring cleaning is on my to-do list. It is much needed at our house.

Today, I am joining Anne from In Residence for her monthly Currently post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. This is my first time joining but these kind of link ups are my favorite.  Here we go! 

Currently Choosing: I am currently choosing outfits for the boys to wear for a little photo session. I am the absolute worst at taking pictures and capturing moments. You’ve seen my pictures! Not.So.Good.

A friend who happens to be an amazing photographer has been taking our pictures for years. I like her to take our pics so at least I have snapshots of moments in our life. 

She offered “personality photos” and I immediately signed the boys up. Smallwoods is where she got the inspiration and I can’t wait to see what she captures. I think it will be cute if I can choose the outfit. 


Decisions. 

Currently Imagining: A trip to the beach! The sun, sand, waves crashing, relaxing, and just living our best beach life. It would be glorious! I hope we can go sometime in May or early June if I can convince B.

Currently Making:  I wish it were more glamorous but all I ever make is breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 


Everything is better with chocolate chips and Reddi-wip.


I made this Monday night and had dinner served in a matter of minutes. I didn’t try it but B said it was okay. Not going to promise that this is amazing but it helped me out in a pinch. 
 

Leftovers for lunch on Tuesday.

Currently Recommending:  Firefly Lane, whether you read the book or jump right into the series on Netflix you need it in your life. I loved it and now I am so intrigued  that I want to read the book to find out what happens. I enjoyed watching Kate and Tully’s friendship grow through the years. And I want Kate’s house, GORG!  

Currently Wearing: D had his wellness check up last week and this is what I wore.  I loved the whole outfit!  It just screams spring, right?!

 
Excuse the dirty garage.  I needed the light and had to snap the pic quickly. 

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! Tell me something you are choosing, imagining, making, recommending, or wearing. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

      Too bad that you won’t be able to enjoy the beach being so close. Have a good day!

    If it were up to me, winter would only last from December 1 to the last day of February. March really should be the end of snow and the beginning of green grass! I love that sweater -- the colours are gorgeous.

      I agree about March needing to be green! I know it’s so different where you live. I am going to try and wear it a lot this month and next. Have a good day!

    I am by NO MEANS an expert at picture taking, but I usually find one outfit I like first (it usually is a kid outfit) and then coordinate around that. A few years ago for some pictures I went into Old Navy and found the cutest button-up with a tie combo for my son (main colors were navy, maroon, gray) and then found a dress for my daughter that coordinated (maroon), had a dress in my closet that matched (navy base) and then told my husband 'pick something in one of these colors' (maroon, navy or gray and he picked maroon). That sweater is really cute, and I always feel the same way about March 1 - spring is here!

      Thank you for the tips! I love Old Navy since everything does coordinate so nicely. I need to look at their website. Yes, spring is here!!!

    That is such a great quote - I want all of the spring things too but reality is that the weather is going to be a while... So I'm totally with you on imagining beach vacations and on wearing sweaters that are a little more spring-y in the meantime.

    Thanks so much for joining in the linkup :)

    I haven't read the book but I am curious about the show Firefly Lane. Glad you enjoyed it! I definitely consider it Spring when March hits. I'm ready for more warm days.

Ahhhhhh, it's my favorite day of the week! Anyone else feel like January is flying by?! Kinda loving it because spring is coming.  I am joining Erika and Andrea for their fabulous link up:  ONE:    We went on a little trip to the Tyler Zoo on Sunday.  It is a smaller zoo than Dallas or Ft. Worth but I tend to enjoy them even more because it is more manageable with the boys. We saw some great animals!  This longhorn was beautiful!  The lion was very active and kept roaring.   He was so loud and could be heard all over the zoo.  These guys scared me because I thought the cage was empty until I spotted them in the corner.   The only downfall for me was that there were way too many people not wearing masks for my comfort level.  We have visited 2 other smaller zoos in the past few months and generally most people will wear a mask even though we are outdoors. We kept our distance from people, avoided the enclosed areas, and avoided the animals that were crowded. It was a fun zoo and t

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today, I am joining Anne from  In Residence  for her monthly  Currently   post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. These are so fun to write up and to read.   Currently Arranging: Our  new rug! We had been waiting on one we ordered back in December that was a Magnolia rug but after the date of arrival getting pushed back several times we just decided to get something in stock. We ordered both rugs from the furniture store we got our sectional. We are loving our new rug!  Currently Craving:  Ahhhh, without a doubt my mom’s home cooking. Nuff said!!  Currently Discussing: We have definitely been going round and round with the “what if’s” about my possible job opportunities. It’s a little exciting and scary to think about having to make a decision.  Lots of praying going on too!  Currently Enjoying: We got the pics back from the “personality photo” session.  Y’all, they are precious!  If you have older kids thi

Hello Monday: Currently

Ahhhhhh, friends! Last week was a doozy. I love you TX but not your crazy weather.  Then  Now  I thought today I would just share a few things currently on my mind or currently going on in our life. It will be random but that’s how it goes!  #1- As you know, TX got hit with snowstorms and very frigid temps last week. At times, we were even colder than Alaska.   We heard from our family and friends and some were dealing with the rolling outages, no power for hours which went into days, and no water.  We were very lucky because our only issue was spotty cable/ internet. It was hard knowing that others were suffering while we were okay. However, we did what was encouraged and that was to conserve energy and water. We unplugged appliances, lowered our heat, and used only the microwave or air fryer to cook meals.  We did get to enjoy the snow, had a snowball fight  and made snow angels.  We had to improvise when it came to our snow gear.  We layered socks for mittens and we had these boots
