A snapshot of what my life is like at this moment in time.
Loving: being outside. We don't get a lot of vitamin D here in the Pacific NW, so when the sun is out, we try to soak up every minute of it. I especially love eating meals outside together.

Reading: Ten Big Ones, the 10th book in Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum Series. The whole series is absolutely hilarious and I'm totally obsessed.
Waiting for: my third child to be fully potty trained. I've got two of them fully trained, but I'm beginning to wonder if #3 will ever get there.
Excited about: a two night getaway to Whistler, BC with the hubby and no kids in August. I can not wait!
Missing: Being here...
at Lake Wenatchee.
Trying to: lose 10 lbs. Why is it so easy to gain weight, yet so hard to lose it!?
Working on: blogging more frequently.
Enjoying: the luscious new green grass that we worked so hard to grow in our backyard.
We still have a ton of landscape work to do, but already it's a million times better than when we moved in!

Using: Photoshop Elements. I love this program and use it to edit all of my pictures and create design plans.
Wearing: summer gear. Shorts, tank top, and flip flops.
Singing: anything playing on the country music station. I'm especially loving anything by The Band Perry right now.
Needing: an iPhone with this cute case...

Okay, maybe I don't need it, but I sure want it! I currently use an old-school pre-paid phone. It doesn't text. There is no Instagram. And it's definitely not 'smart'. Since we are living on one income while I stay home with the kids, this is one way we cut costs. It's only $100 for 1000 minutes and I only use it when I'm out and about to make quick calls. It'd be really nice to join the 21st century though.
Learning: to slow down and enjoy every minute that I get to spend with my kids. The time I get to spend at home with my kids before they go to school is quickly dwindling down. I need to learn to cherish this time because it will be gone before I know it.
Listening: to silence, sweet silence. The kids are napping and I'm cherishing every sweet second of silence that I get.
Wishing: I had lots of money so we could just hire a professional to finish landscaping our backyard.
Doing: cleaning up after the kids. I spend all day, every day doing this.
Praying for: patience. Lots of Patience. Age 3 is my favorite age of my kids so far, but with that being said, it is also an age that is riddled with whining, crying, and temper tantrums. Having THREE 3-year-olds going through this phase is enough to make a mama lose her mind. I keep repeating this phrase that my dear Grandma had hanging in a frame in her home...
Dreaming of: owning a waterfront vacation house on Lake Chelan.

One can dream, right?
This post idea was inspired by Emily at Jones Design Company.
