Right Now.

My friend Tiffani is the author of the awesome blog known as the House of Belonging.

I am so thankful for her!!

She is a prayer warrior.

She's strong and brave and courageous.

She's creative and kind.

She's filled with beauty from the inside-out.

She's one of those blogger friends who I hope to meet one day.

She recently moved into a new house that she is totally renovating.

She's also in the middle of opening up her business.

She has an Etsy shop that you should stop right now and visit.

She sprinkled the most perfect Christmas cheer all over her house....

She recently did a "right now" post where she gave us the inside scoop on one of her days.

I enjoyed reading hers so much that I decided to do one, too.

You might want to sit down, the excitement in one of my days might just blow you away.

watching: friends re-runs on nick at nite. 

 i totally want to judge their fashion choices, but i can't

because i looked just like them in the 90s.  

i have close friends who call me monica gellar on occasion,

 and every time i watch these re-runs, i understand more and more why they do.

eating: I went all out tonight and bought personal size chicken pot pies from trader joes.  obviously, i'm not going to be serious competition for the "mother of the year" award.

drinking: water, but i wish i was drinking a 42 oz. extra sweet tea with lemon.

wearing: my favorite lucky brand jeans with a black pullover from banana republic and my sperrys.

avoiding: wrapping christmas presents.  

i haven't wrapped the first present. 

 i had all of our gifts bought two weeks before thanksgiving 

and i sent our christmas cards out on december 1st, but i haven't wrapped anything.

it's my least favorite part of the whole season because they never turn out as pretty as the ones on pinterest.

some would ask why i wrap them and not just sit them out on christmas eve....

my kids like to tear into wrapped gifts...that's why i do it. 

feeling: full from dinner and totally relaxed.

missing: my friend kate in california,
my friend michele in pennsylvania,
 and my friend kourtney in orlando.

I seriously need girl time with each of these people.

thankful: for a warm house & bathed children.  
and really thankful that it's almost their bedtime.

weather: 50 degrees and cloudy.

praying: for my mom...she has a lung disease and she's had an infection this week.  

needing: to order the gray and white plaid fabric for the boys' room.  i hate when something has been on my "to do" list for weeks and it just keeps getting bumped to the next week's list.  hate it.

thinking: about the twelve family rules signs that we are making and shipping out this week.  6 painted...6 more to go.

loving: my new lucky brand boots that i got with christmas money from my parents.  i searched and searched  for a pair that i could love for the next ten years.  melissa frye boots were on the top of my list, but i just couldn't do it..so glad i didn't.  i love these lucky brand boots so much and i know i'll never tire of them.  reeeally love that they were half the price of frye boots and still just as awesome.
