Favorite Things Friday: Week 3

friday favorite things | finding joy

This has been a trying week in our house.  L and I had a couple of days where we weren't getting a long too well.  Needless to say, it left a toddler and a Mommy not very happy at various points throughout the week.  At first, I just brooded.  Then, I remembered that there had been some really good moments this week and I caught them on my phone.  So, whenever one of us was having a bad moment, I would get my phone out and we would look at pictures and videos and laugh.  It helped.  It really helped.

Sometimes all it takes is to concentrate on the good and let that lead you through the bad.  Here are some good things from this week:

 Easter morning! 
This was L's first year to actually participate.

 Hunting Easter eggs for the first time

April finally got here!
And my calendar gave me some really good advice for this month

L and I picked up this great book
from the creator of Momastery
I read it in two days.
It will be talked about more on the blog.
This was good stuff for the soul.

Trying out new hairstyles at bath time
(We were also very tired)


I hope every one of you had a great week and have a great weekend!  I will see you all on Monday for the second week of The Month of 30 Series where we will be talking about things that make me laugh, my teenage years, and there will be a special post on Sunday, April 14th to commemorate something in our lives.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Until next time,

Favorite Things Friday: Week 2

friday favorite things | finding joy

Wow!  I am still excited from yesterday!  You all totally rock and it fills my heart and makes me happy! I am so happy that you all came over and checked out the new series that I am starting.  It is going to be wonderful-I just know it!

Today is Friday and Good Friday at that, so I hope those of you that are off today are enjoying the day with your families; whether it be outside (it is gorgeous here in the Midwest, FINALLY!) or if you are just relaxing inside.  I hope this Friday nicely rounds out your week and has you thinking about all of your favorite things that happened this week.

Here are some of mine:

Lazy snow day's with this little girl right here

Impromptu nap sessions in the kitchen with her "big girl blanket" and Ellie

Notes from my husband (that even include adding 'Tylenol' to the grocery list because I needed it and would have forgotten)


The 14 inches of snow melting


Finally getting to play outside and saying "Oooo weeeee!"

All of my reader's here

Also, there are just a couple of days left to vote on which entry I will be submitting to Yahoo! Contributor Network next!  Please go here to read all about that and cast your vote!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!  I will see you all back here on Monday for the first installment of The Month of 30!

Happy Easter!

Until next time,

I am going to try something new here on the blog as a way to keep me writing and as a way for me to focus after those sometimes long weeks of being a SAHM.  I want to thank Rachel over at Finding Joy for inviting all of us to partake in this great idea!

Here are some of my favorite things from this week: 

playing
I love watching L play
with things that are new to her.


baby/toddler bonds
Cousins are the best, don't ya know?
L loves her new cousin J.
Here she is "rocking" J.


giggles
She loves to laugh.
I couldn't help but capture this moment.


reading
Mommy reading time is the best.


writing
I love to write.
I love even more that you all find
what I have to say valid
and can even laugh along with me
when I am having a rough day.


Have a great weekend everyone!
Until next time,
