WW#1: I’m Bananas about this Pullover and LeTote

4 years ago • 0 Comment • Clothes, Lifestyle, Wednesdays Wordrobe • 3

So this post is way out of the norm, but I thought it would be fun to do a weekly “Wednesday’s Wardrobe” series and show off some of my favorite fall pieces. I’m no “fashionista” but, when I’m not in running gear or yoga pants I like to dress cute. So from now until the […]

TEN years of dancing with you @sandontx .
It looks a little different dancing in the kitchen these days with two little ones than it did in the beginning.
Swipe 👉 to see the progression and baby Angela & hubs dancing 💃 🕺.
.
Fun Facts:
1. Our first date was country dancing at a @jackingram concert.
.
2. Five years later we were dancing on the side walk outside of his outdoor concert and he saw us and invited us to come up on stage and dance while he finished the song. In the 7th video you can see where we were dancing and the hubs sees him trying to get our attention and goes “who? Us?” .
3. We used to clear out all the furniture in our living room and turn our house into one big ole dance floor and invite friends over to teach them the basics (who remembers this?).
.
I hope our kids grow up loving kitchen dance parties as much as we do.

Happy ten year anniversary babe. MEMC & I love you.
.
Q: Have you and your person ever gone dancing (the kind that requires a partner like country, swing, salsa, etc.)? Would you ever like to try it?

My workouts have been about the only thing keeping me sane this week 🤪 (swipe to seem a 👑Remi Girl spit up mid photo 😬).
.
I feel like the kids have just been taking turns being sick since Christmas! Never at the same time. One gets sick, and then gets better just in time for the next one to catch something. And what I can’t figure out is that it’s something different each time, not the same residual sickness.
.
We’ve been running on lots of cuddles, lots of fluids, and minimal sleep. .
I’ve had to make it a priority for ME to get in at least 30-40 min workout from home. In between nursing, wiping butts, cooking meals, helping my husband with his business (& let alone seeing real life friends. Hi 👋 friends. I’m here and I still love you) it’s the only thing keeping me going.
.
Q: have you guys caught whatever this crud is that’s been flying around this winter?

Find love in a world obsessed with lust. You’ll have to work harder at it. You’ll have to choose to keep going when the “butterflies” aren’t as strong, and mistakes have been made, but that's what makes it greater. I have yet to hear someone tell me the love isn’t worth it.
.
Lust is empty, it is transparent, it holds no weight. We are a society that has been taught to chase the shiniest things, to fill our lives with beauty for beauty’s sake, to focus more on attaining and possessing and devouring than sitting with, and diving into the things that actually mean something to us. We mistake what our eyes want for what our hearts want, and that is one of the most dangerous things we could do to ourselves. It kills our humanity.
.
I don’t envy those who leap towards lust or longing like it is going to change their lives. Those people, I have found, are often looking to either escape themselves, or distract themselves, and it bankrupts them. They are empty in certain ways, always after the next beautiful thing, and the next after that. They devour, and devour, and devour, but they will never be full. They are malnourished where it counts, they will never be satisfied. Because the real nourishment, the real feast, exists not in someone’s lips or the curve of their spine. It exists in the most honest aspects of who they are. It exists in their nostalgia and in their hopes and in the way certain songs make them want to cry.
.
You want genuine beauty? Real beauty? The kind of connection that isn’t short lived, but rather, feels like it has existed for hundreds of years, feels all consuming and feverish and grounding at the same time? CONNECT....Sit with someone and look them in the eyes, listen to the way they talk about the things they are passionate about, how their smile curves towards their ears….Only then will you understand why lust is so vacant in comparison, why it is so dull. - @ rainbowsalt
.
.
Q: Have you taken the time to sit down and truly connect with someone this week? To not just ask them “how is your day” but “how is your heart?"
.
.
Tag a loved one and say, hey let’s connect!

A lot of my days look like this. Holding or nursing one baby and reading or playing with another (coffee always juuussstt out of reach). Being touched my tiny humans 90% of my day is both sweet and exhausting. .
Some days I’m convinced I’ve created the greatest humans to ever enter earth, other days I’m sure my body accidentally produced real life monsters.
.
Some days we go out and have play dates with friends, other days I go all day without talking to another adult.
.
Some days I get the laundry put away and the dishes cleaned and dinner on the table for everyone, other days I call for back up and order delivery.
.
Some days I don’t feel known, other days my husband send me photos he’s snapped and sweet notes like this and I feel a little more seen.
.
No matter what kind of day your having, week your having, start to the year you’re having, YOU are seen. You are worth it. You are doing your best and that is enough. Even when you don’t feel it, you are enough.
.
Q: Fill in the blank “some days I _____ and other days I ______.”

2019: but did you actually die?
.
Sometimes things happen that make you feel like you might physically stop breathing, and yet you wake up the next day and keep going. So 👋bye 2019, I am not sad to see you go. .
Have you ever come out of something and thought, “I would never freaking want to go through that again, but at the same time, if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be the stronger version of myself that I am today?”
.
Some how 2019 was the worst of times and the BEST of times all wrapped up into one tiny blimp of a year. .
My friendships are deeper, my marriage is stronger, my faith in the Lord was shaken and got built back more durable than ever, my identity is solid, and I’ve learned to make every moment count because you don’t know when you’ll be out of moments to have with someone.
.
So thanks 2019 for the trying times because pressure creates diamonds and fire refines gold.
Grateful and so ready to take on a New Year with all my favorite people around me. With some cool things on the horizon, I’m believing 2020 will be the best one yet.
.
Q: How do you feel about 2019? Was it everything you hoped? Or did it kick you in the teeth and watch you rise back up?

FIVE months old 👑 💗 .
This month we had baby’s first Christmas😊 and baby’s first cold 😪
.
I love watching this little girl become more and more alert.
.
Her favorite thing right now is eye contact. Look her in the eyes and talk to her and she’ll smile and coo all day.
