February Currently +Weekending

Hi Peachies! Welcome to Monday. This has been the Mondayest Monday in a long time but i'm not dwelling on that.

How was your weekend? Mine was perfect. My hubby had the weekend off, which is a rare thing these days and the weather was stunning.
Sunny and highs in the mid sixties so my honey wanted to take advantage of that and smoke something on the grill.

Friday
We ordered Chinese and had plans of watching Fuller House like every other American family.
We only made it through one episode before Netflix went on the fritz.
So like an old married couple, my hubby & I fell asleep with the dog before 9:30 while our kid stayed up and played X-Box. #Winning

Saturday
My hubby took my car for new tires. Adulting is so much fun, y'all!
Willow and I started the morning off with coffee and snuggles on the couch.
Then my hubby fired up the smoker and got the ribs ready to go on.
He spent the day with Willow outside smoking while I ran to the store and cleaned house. I gave our bathroom a mini make over, too.
Then my parent's came to dinner with us.

It was a wonderful evening, filled with lots of love and happiness.


Sunday
Morning no one wanted to get moving, especially not Willow.

We spent more time snuggled on the couch, drinking coffee and watching two more episodes of Fuller House.

My hubby & I had to go to the mall to get my engagement ring repaired again and I wanted to stop by B&BW to get more Stress Relief body wash.
My hubby treated me to all this. He's truly the best.

Then we came home and relaxed.

I colored and enjoyed having our windows open in the house while my hubby & Willow napped.


We ended the weekend watching The Walking Dead and going to bed early, again. We're cool like that.

And since today is the last day of February I have to do my February Currently.


Enjoying...Our clean house, this gorgeous 70* weather and the Wallflower scents in my house right now.

Wishing For...a nap.

Loving...the time i've had with my hubby lately and the mini bathroom makeover I did this weekend.
And i'm loving my new Tiffany Blue Converse, the wallflowers from B&BW and a new magaize I found called Willow & Sage.


I'm also loving this picture of our Sweet Willow.


Looking Forward To...when my hubby & son are home tonight so we can Netflix & chill.

Smelling...Modern Mint candle. It smells so amazing.

Wearing...black running shorts, mint green cami and my purple hana tank from Hawaii.

Feeling...happy, relaxed, refreshed and a bit exhausted.

Bookmarking...Bull Mastiff videos and blogging tweets.

Reading...Amy Poehler's Yes Please and Willow & Sage magazine.

Watching...Willow pushing an empty orange juice jug all over the kitchen.

Listening (to)...a bird chirping and my wild child dog.

Eating...the smoked ribs my hubby cooked on Saturday.

Cooking...nothing right now. Planning dinner for tonight though.

Drinking...Water. All the water.

Texting...no one lately. That's surprising.

Pinning...My blog ladies' posts. There are some really great ones, ya'll!

Instagramming...lots of Willow pics, what i'm coloring and all the things my hubby bought me yesterday.

Snapchatting...Wine, Willow, and the Weekend.

Tweeting...Blog posts.

Loving these blog posts...Y'all! I'm awful! I haven't had time to read anyone's blog posts lately.

National Tell a Fairy Tale Day



Happy National Tell a Fairy Tale Day, Peachies! We all love a good love story, one where the Princess meets her Prince, they fall in love adopt a puppy and then they become a family of four (because the Bride had a son when they got married). So in honor of this magical day I'm sharing my real life Fairy Tale with you.

My hubby & I met sixteen years ago. He was my best friend for thirteen of those years before we even dated. Everyone says we have such a romantic story because we were best friends for thirteen years before we even dated. He always treated me with respect and never once let on that he liked me in any other way and I was content with that. He was married and I respected that but he was always my go to guy when I was having trouble in other relationships. Life threw us for a curve 3 years and some months ago and brought us to where we are now. Which is pure love and chaos but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the entire universe. We're currently raising a teenage boy together and chasing around a 12 week old puppy all while planning our next move for the future and to be honest, there's no one else I'd rather do life with. He is strong when i am weak, he's calm when I am chaos, he's the one singing Bob Marley's Every Little Thing in my ear when i'm breaking down. He's so much more than my husband. He's the glue that holds me together. He's the sprinkles on my cupcake. Basically he's everything y'all. And since our love story makes many appearances on the blog, here are all the mushy gushy posts.

Our Love Story Parts 1 & 2
From Miss To Mrs.
It's A Love Story, Baby Just Say Yes Pt. 1
It's A Love Story, Baby Just Say Yes Pt. 2
t's A Love Story, Baby Just Say Yes Pt. 3

If i'm being honest here i'm not one to give marriage advice. I've only been married for five months. I definitely don't have it all figured out. I'm not full of knowledge or advice on this topic. Even when my 50 year anniversary rolls around I probably won't be full of advice or knowledge. I hope that I have gained enough experience in this area of life to help my kids along the way but don't be looking for marriage posts on the blog. I feel strongly about marriage. If I got tattoos i'd tattoo my vows on myself somewhere but since I don't, they're inked on my heart for all of eternity.

When the preacher said this verse from the Bible Mark 10:6-9
"But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” I remember taking a long, deep breath in and trying not to let the tears flow. This is what I whole heartedly believe.

Most days I feel like i'm rocking this wife thing & like everything in life, some days, I wonder if i'm doing alright.

Five months ago I stood barefoot in the sand and said "I Do" to my best friend of thirteen years.
Somedays I find myself aching to be back on that beach, completely lost in that moment. I long for that feeling, that moment. The moment when life slowed down and people came from all over to celebrate us. There were no distractions. No work, no phone calls from work, nothing but us. That's the part I miss about the wedding, actually. There were no distractions.

We chose the song You & I (Nobody in the World) by John Legend as our first dance song. I had no idea just how poignant those lyrics would be.

All of the stars you make them shine like they were ours
Ain't nobody in the world but you and I
You and I
Ain't nobody in the world

In that moment it felt as if we truly were the only people on the whole beach.
I was slightly aware of everyone standing around us talking and taking pictures but it felt as if we were in a dream.


The pictures of our first dance are blurry and i'm okay with that. Our professional photographer left with the wedding planners after the ceremony. It was dark and the photos turned out that way. In my opinion, they're perfectly imperfect. Like I try to live my life. In some way I feel like the blurry pictures are indicative of that moment for me. The moment when everything felt like a blur. I truly feel like that moment was one of the most special of my entire life.

And for the rest of my life that moment is tattooed on my heart. I am forever changed by it.
It was the beginning of the next chapter of my fairy tale.

Fairy Tales are true Peachies. Sometimes you have to create them yourselves but if you just believe, they will come true.

National Days-February



Hi Peachies! I'm struggling big time today but i'm finally here. Late is better than never? Right? Today is February 6th! What? How did that happen? I'm pretty much on the crazy train today, broken down in Struggle Town but do not fear! I'm going to make the most of Struggle Town while i'm here.

Today I thought of another fun post to add to the beginning of the month so let's talk about what National Holidays there are this month and how those National Holidays should mean an extra day of sleeping in and spending the rest of the day in yoga pants binge watching Netflix and coloring in our adult coloring books. Sounds like a plan? Yes, please?!?

When I think of National Holidays I think of just that, sleeping in and spending the rest of the day being a bum. In the summer that means being a bum at my parent's pool. The rest of the year it means being a bum in my yoga pants binge watching Netflix and all that. National holidays usually involve really good food, friends and family, and wine/beer/margaritas. Regardless of what National Holidays look like to you, I think we can all use a little more celebrating in our lives everyday. So here is a list of my favorite National Holidays in February.

Baked Alaska Day

Groundhog Day- And i'll say this. I could give that groundhog a giant hug right now

February Goals

Hi Peachies! Happy Wednesday. Can I just say how glad I am that this week is almost over? I mean, we're half way there (Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer just popped in my head.) Anyway, i'm choosing to see this week half over as a cup half full kinda thing even though this week has been a week from you know where. I'm pretty sure The Devil Came Down To Georgia this week and he's trying really hard to cozy up with me but I ain't got time for that!

Today i'm spending this rainy day snuggled up on my couch, in pajamas and my favorite blanket, drinking all the coffee and hiding from my own crazy life. Tomorrow i'll put on my big girl panties and deal with it all but today, I'm finally able to tackle my "to-do" list and make my post about my February Goals.



Maybe my February Goals should start out like this...

1. Schedule next month's goals post at the end of this month so they go live on March 1.

2. Find a family practitioner and possibly a dermatologist.

3. Make an eye appt for my son.

4. Make a batch of goodies for family & friends. Just because.

5. Have the family over at least once for dinner.

6. Wash all the windows (inside and out) downstairs.

7. Write at least 3 blog posts per week.

8. Finish reading Yes Please.

9. Yoga and Cize 5 days a week.

10. Go walking when it's not flooding (today is not a good day to start this goal.)

11. Spend Sunday ironing A's work clothes and making Dylan lunches for school.

12. Eat out less.

13. Don't spend $ on un-necessary things (make-up, nail polish.)

14. Use the new social media icons I bought for my blog.

15. Make a button for my blog.

16. Figure out how to add Disqus to my blog.

17. Order our Hawaiian Honeymoon memory book from Shutterfly.

18. Make at least 6 new pieces of jewelry to sell.

I think these are all attainable goals for the month. Here's to putting on my Wonder Woman cape and getting them all done!

What are some of your goals for this month?
How do you get them all done?
