Currently {Vol. 20}

 I have been joining up with the always inspring A Mama Collective and just love her blog. She has started a series called: Currently. This series is just a regular, every day post about what is going on in her world that day. I am enjoying linking up each week with her Currently series!


I can't believe I am writing my 20th Currently post tonight! Where have the last 20 weeks gone?  Here's to 20 more!

Thinking about: The End of Summer Backyard BBQ that I am planning for our friends in our community. I am soo excited! I designed the invites today, I am mailing them out tomorrow! Now, the rest of the planning commences... decor, food, yard games, tables, music, cleaning...the list goes on!! I can't wait! I love planning events! YAY!!!

Loving these fun ideas from Pinterest... Now to start PINNING!! The ideas just don't stop!

Reading: Through my piles of paperwork that I have been neglecting on my counters over the last few months. I am about 3/4 the way done. I am getting there! It will feel so good to have these piles GONE!

Watching: My parents interact with my kids tonight. The kids were soooo excited that Grandma & Grandpa were able to come visit for a couple hours before bed. We are blessed to have the grandparents only 30 minutes away!  I grew up spending a lot of time with my grandparents & am so thankful my children can spend time with theirs.

Listening to: The news in the background from the living room & the dishwasher running. This is our quiet time of the evening.

 

Excited about: Our weekend ahead! Friday evening, we are taking the kids to the County fair near our home for rides, visiting the animals & eating delicious fair food. {in moderation of course}

Thankful for: These two beautiful children. They are my world.

Some days they drive me ABSOLUTELY nuts to the point that I want to pull my hair out. But some days, I realize how blessed I am to be given these two beautiful healthy kids. 

Why is it that when something bad happens, we want to squeeze our loved ones a little closer & think about our own. Why can't we realize how lucky we are on a daily basis? I am one of those people as well. I need to remember more how lucky I am. 

The photo above was from our vacation to the Boundary Waters. I loved showing them somewhere they had never been, tried something they had never tried & spent time with them with no signs of IPhone, IPad or computer. That time was precious & won't be forgotten.
