Reading… The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. I was wait-listed at the library for this book for so long, and it was worth waiting for. It’s been very thought-provoking so far, and even makes me want to start my own Resolutions Chart. I love how the author pushes herself to go out of her comfort zone to attain her goals, but still stays true to being herself.

Watching… Call the Midwife on Netflix. I know I’m late to the game, but this show has me hooked!

Eating… This Santa Fe Crockpot Chicken! We had some friends over for dinner on Monday night, and I wanted to make something easy without having to take a trip to the grocery store. This fit the bill! I ended up using three chicken breasts, so I added a little extra of each spice. This made a ton of food and tastes amazing over rice or even just lettuce. Mmmm.

Planning… Kaelyn’s 2nd birthday party! I finally settled on a theme after wavering between several: rubber ducks! She’s been obsessed with ducks for a few months now, and “quack” was the first animal sound she learned to say, so I think it’s a perfect choice. You can’t go wrong with adorable yellow ducks!rubberduckybirthdayboard

Editing… lots and lots of photos! I’ve had a few recent clients for photo sessions, plus all the pictures I took on our vacation. I’ve been so excited to see my business picking up- I love using my talents for others, and making a little extra money is always a plus. I’m saving up for a macro lens next (probably this one) and getting close to having enough!

Shopping… for so many random house-related items. Everything from new toilet seats to window blinds to choosing paint colors. It’s all so exciting and truthfully, a little overwhelming. Making home decor choices completely intimidates me, but I’m so eager to get started… now we just need to decide what room we want to focus on first! 😉
