Out of Office!

 I think I'm officially taking the day off! Do you ever have those days where you just don't feel like doing anything? That was me today.


Not sick or overwhelmed, not even particularly busy. I just woke up with zero motivation, and honestly, I've decided to quit fighting it.  The laundry is still sitting there. The dishes are giving me the side-eye from the sink. There are blog posts I could write, closests I could organize, and about a hundred other things that would probably make me feel like a "productive adult".  Instead? I'm moving at the speed of a sleepy turtle.

Maybe I'll read a little. Maybe I'll watch a show I've already seen three times because I don't have the energy to pay attention to a new one. Maybe I'll scroll Pinterest and convince myself I'm gathering inspiration when we all know I'm just looking at pretty kitchens I'll never have.  And today, I'm okay with that.

I think somewhere along the way we started believing that every day has to be productive. Every minute has to count. If we're sitting still, we must be wasting time.  I'm not buying that anymore.

Sometimes a lazy day is exactly what you need. Not because you've earned it or checked everything off your list, but because you're human. We all have days when our batteries are running on 10%, and pretending otherwise usually just makes us grumpier. Tomorrow I'll probably be back to checking things off of my list, running errands, and wondering why I thought buying groceries for one meal somehow turned into spending half of the paycheck. 

But today? Today, I'm choosing comfy clothes, an Alani, some pool time, and absolutely no guilt. So tell me I'm not the only one. What's your favorite way to spend a lazy day?

Much Love,

Beth

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, Friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...
