Thinking about | Our upcoming move and trying not to stress about it…

Reading | Finally catching up on my favorite blogs! My book club met last week and my next class doesn’t start for 9 more days so I’m blissfully not reading anything required. Spending all my extra time writing blog posts and hanging out on social media :)

Watching | I finally got to watch Divergent yesterday and loved it!

Thankful for | A weekend with zero requirements, schedules, appointments, or responsibilities. Loving. It.

Enjoying | Some alone time right now while my husband and son watch tv shows about cars :)

Loving | Twitter! I don’t know why it has taken me so long to join the crowd, but it has been so much fun. I had no idea how supportive the writing community was on twitter. Come say hello!

Wishing | my son’s sickness and my sister’s visit hadn’t both occurred at the same time last week.  The photo above is when we went on a tour of Kualoa Ranch this past week. She/we would have had more fun if my son had been in a better mood…

Listening to | Coldplay’s new album… over and over, I can’t stop.

Drinking | Iced water. Finally got my ice maker fixed in my freezer and I’m loving crushed ice again!

Giving away | A Classic Red Radio Flyer Tricycle at The Dwelling Tree!

      Cassie,

      Thank you so much! I would LOVE to go to Molokai, but it just didn’t happen :( I didn’t realize how abruptly we would be moving away. I hope you have a wonderful time when you visit!

      Well SPANKS Tiffany! You definitely need to get the new one, or at least a few of the best songs. I have to admit that I have been listening to it all the way through for weeks now. Sometimes I listen to the whole thing once a day. It’s just so calming and I need that right now in the midst of moving chaos!

    I hope that boy of yours is feeling better now. I do hope you had a wonderful visit with your sis. What a wonderful way to experience life North of something. To be able to pick and and roll with it. That takes moxie lady. I love your spirit. I am new to the blog world. I had heard about blogs but never really looked at any. A few months ago I was introduced to a blog and I am just loving the support each blogger shows the next. A real sense of community. There is so much great info out there. So many product I would never have been introduced to had it not been for bloggers talking about them. It has inspired me. I am truly considering becoming a blogger. Though it is a bit scary to me. At any rate I want to say your blog is really awesome. You have wonderful interesting content with amazing photos. I am so glad I stumbled upon your spot!
