Weekly Wrap-Up no.1

There's something I've been seeing around the blogging world that I thought was fun and that I wanted to try too! I'm calling it 'Weekly Wrap-Up' and every Sunday I'll put a bow on the week with a post of my favorites from the week! To begin the categories will be the following: words, moment, recipe, Etsy shop and blog post (not mine). I might try to keep the same categories, I might not. Like I said, we'll see where this goes!

{THIS} Blog Post

Get this, Jaime from Raising up Rubies with the help of her husband turned their formal living room into a huge, organized, accessible and all around beautiful and awesome creative space! This post is about a year old but really inspired both Chris and I with how we want to organize our home! In the last 24hours we have been a whirl of ideas about actually turning our family room into a similar space! This post was a great inspiration to me and my beginnings of being a business owner! 

{THIS} Recipe

Not quite a recipe but it's a form of food so it counts. I just thought these were super cute! My mom used to fill cones with cake and frost them to look like ice cream for our school birthday parties. I'm not much of a jelly bean fan so I'd put something else in the cone and that the beauty of it. I love how you can really personalize it for the occasion and recipient! 

This Moment 

Chris has been working a lot more these days which means I've been working a lot more at home too so we're both more tired than "normal." We've been spending a lot more time just hanging out on the bed as a family playing with stuffed animals and reading books. The other day Chris and Gabriel fell asleep and I sort of got kicked out due to a lack of space. I didn't mind much because when I stepped out this is what I saw. I'm truly blessed by these two. 

{THIS} Etsy Shop

Aren't these prints great?! The shop is called 'My Fabulous Life' and it is owned by Jennifer Menteer who also writes a blog. I have been eyeing these fabulous prints for some time now and finally purchased one! As a 'thank you' for reaching 900likes on her Facebook page she blogged that she was offering a 25% discount in her shop if you use the code 900THANKS before June 3rd. It's that discount that finally kicked me in the pants to buy the chevron rabbit silhouette. 

These Words 

"What should I do?" Is a question I am sure Chris is thinking in his head, "If I had a nickel for every time you asked me that..." I'm an incredibly indecisive person and am pretty good at over analyze everything. Some times I just need to stop, take a breath, be thankful that I have many options open to me and do what I want to do without questioning how I might be perceived. As long as my choices and actions are honoring to the Lord and my family than why must I bother with fretting?
