Week(end) Recap (oops!)

Sorry y'all - I've been slacking the last week. With traveling and just every day life, I forgot to update the blog. What better way to recap than with some fave photos? Enjoy! :)

Happy Monday!

The Great Debacle: What Planner Will I Use in 2015?

Every year the great debacle is what planner will I pick for the next year. This year I have narrowed it down to four options.

Emily Ley's Simplified Planner

Don't you just die for the polka dots & gold accents?

Whitney English's Day Designer

Are you seeing a theme? Love the gold & bold stripe.

Russell + Hazel Mini Binders

I love that I can fully customize the inside with the pages I need.

Kate Spade 2015 Gold Dot Agenda

The only negative? It's 17 months.

Do you have a go-to planner or Agenda? Sound off below!

#NTDAbide: Week 1, Day 2

Do you ever use your busy schedule as a reason to not take some quiet time for yourself? Guilty. This morning started with a meeting at 8 a.m., so I used it as an excuse to not get up earlier to have my quiet time with God. But then as I pulled into the work parking lot, I could feel myself longing for those 20 minutes of time. So I made time. Right there in my car. It was exactly the way I needed to start my day, and the Starbucks didn't hurt. 

"This is my command: Love each other." John 15:17

Weekend Recap: Family Time

Pony at the Grandparents

Nothing is Better than Some Southern Cooking

Can't Wait for Weekends on the Lake

I got to spend some time this weekend with my family for Father's Day, a little early. It was so good to get to see and fellowship with those who love you so unconditionally. It was a soul refresher. But it's funny how your notion of home changes. Now East Tennessee is home & I wouldn't want it any other way.

#NTDAbide: Week 1, Day 1

As I mentioned last week, I would be starting the Naptime Diaries ABIDE journal this week. Everyday of this eight week journey, I will post a verse and what I've taken away for that day. I'm interested to see how my faith changes during this time.

I have been so keen on finding my purpose lately. Struggling to understand if I am where I should be. I got the humbling reminder I needed this morning. It's not about me and my purpose. It's about God and his purpose. If I would take the time to "Abide and stand in HIS love," I would not feel so unsure.

"Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself." 1 Corinthians 6:19

Donut Day

Y'all. The stars have aligned. It is National Doughnut/Donut Day! Y'know what that means? FREE Donuts. So in honor of this momentous occasion, I give you all my fave donut inspired products.

And Basically anything Donuts from Paper Source.

Eat on people.

p.s. Still don't know the correct usage of each spelling.

Tunes-Day Thursday: Coffee IV Edition

Why hasn't anyone invented the Coffee IV yet? Since that's probably ineffecitve/illegal/heart attack inducing - we'll just stick with music that'll give you a pep in your step. Lord know I need it.

Seeing as I drove off with the gas pump still in my tank this morning, I probably need it most. FAIL.

Happy Thursday.
