Hi Friends!

Big news…I got a new water bottle.  So far I love it.  Thank you Target for having a sale and thank you Target Cartwheel app for having an additional percentage off.  I sadly threw my old, broken water bottle in the trash.  It was a good one, but we’re moving on.  No time to mourn a faithful water bottle.

Summer is doing it’s summer thing in which I love it/hate it.  I love my children and am really trying to relish in them and soak them up and enjoy them, but sometimes I feel like I can’t breathe.  Like I’m physically being smothered to death and in need of some resuscitation.  PS:  I love you children if you read this one day.  I’ve broken up approximately 1,317 fights and have had ZERO time alone.  Positive thinking & cookies are helping me survive.  I say things like “I will not perish.  I will not perish.  I will not perish.”  When I feel like surely I will perish…from being smothered alive by 5 children.  Look for the headline.

Had my first run in 4 weeks this week.  I was so sweaty I took a selfie.  Yep, I sure did.  The sweat for dripping from the tip of my nose and my elbows and the rest of my entire body.  Sweat everywhere.  I always take some time off to let my old lady knees recover after training…4 weeks did the trick…and now I’m back to those miles.

Hudson has been sick.  He’s been pretty pitiful and has worn the same set of clothes for 3 days and watched 31 hours of movies!!!!  He even took naps for like hours.  And we haven’t left the house since Monday.  I will not perish.  I will not perish.  I will not perish.  Send cookies.

Two food staples in our week:  cherries and popcorn.  I love cooking popcorn on the stove now.  THIS is my go-to…but I just sprinkle with some sea salt now and call it a day.  The kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

I’ve been slacking in my Bible journaling lately.  I blame summer.  Can I blame a season for my lazy Bible reading?!?!?!  Anyways, I for real sobbed my way through Genesis 18…like sobbed sobbed…like a big ole giant baby women.  And my next online Bible journaling will begin July 1st and run through the 15th.  You can read about the online class HERE.  Email me or message me HERE if you are interested in signing up.

I’ll end with a little throw back Thursday.  Harper and I did a deep cleaning, organizing and purging of her room this morning.  Made my heart feel grounded and my head feel sane.  While working we ran across this picture of her and then I died.  I like her.

Happy Thursday!
