As Christmas rapidly approaches, we're quickly trying to narrow down and purchase our first married family Christmas card!
This is where you come in.
As fashion/design experts with great taste (you're welcome!), we're counting on you all to help us pick out the favorite. Take a look below and please help us by leaving a comments with your recommendation!!
My goodness, Friday, I've been dying to see you since, well, Monday. Needless to say it's been a long week. When my alarm went off this morning I could've sworn it was Saturday, but alas it was not.
Anyway, I have big plans for the weekend that include roadtripping to Wichita w/ BF to see the fam, his fam, and our good friends! Should be busy and fun-filled, but I hope to get back at a decent time on Sunday to recover and relax!
1) I think I've finally broken the sugar addiction. Or at least made progress. I gave up all added sugars for lent, allowing me to just have a few treats over Adam's b-day, and it's been touch-and-go there for a little bit.
For those that know me, I have the biggest sweet tooth. The amount of "treats" I enjoyed per week wasn't normal. Well, I have to say the yucky bloated, tummy hurting side-effects of eating sugar after not having it in a while was enough to keep me going! I like this new energy I've found, and even after Easter, I may limit it to 1-2 treats per week. Woah.
2) Cannot stop listening to this song. I heard it on the radio Tuesday, and it's been on repeat ever since. Why does it have to be so gosh darn catchy?! Guilty pleasure indeed.
3) I am ridiculously excited to be home this weekend. There's something about being around my family, sleeping in my old bed, and relaxing on the patio that feels oh-so-good! Come on 5 p.m.!!
4) I've been tossing around the idea of taking a random weekday off soon. I just feel a little frazzled and overwhelmed at work sometimes, and it would be nice to take a random Wednesday, get stuff done, and have some me time. Do you do this?
5) I feel like I've lost all sense of time. It's almost April? What is today? WHEN is Easter? Wasn't it just Christmas yesterday? I feel old.
6) Before I confess this one, let me just add a little disclaimer that I love my friends dearly... BUT some of these high-maintenance, bridezilla weddings need to end soon. I am honored to be in several weddings this spring/summer and a bunch of them are extremely fun to be a part of. It's just the random, dramatically stressed out bride/groom that I can't handle.
Smile. Relax. At the end of the day you're getting married. Who cares if the linens aren't the exact color of the bridesmaids dresses. Nobody will notice... promise.
This whole thing has me DREADING wedding planning one day. I am either eloping (did you hear that, Dad?!) or making my own wedding low key, fun to be a part of, and a joyous celebration (as it should be). There will be no craziness.
Caio Bellas! Salutations from soggy Kansas City! I wanted to first thank all of you for being so wonderful. If you are a [Life of Meg] newbie, I am so thrilled that you're here!!
I truly feel so blessed and excited to have each and every one of you join me on my humble little blog everyday!
Now that everyone feels warm and fuzzy, let's get down to business!
{ Let's talk lent. }
For those of you who participate in the Lenten season every year, I must tell you that I am a little stumped as to what to give up this time. I truly want it to be something challenging to me. To give you an idea of what I have sacrificed before, let me give you a little recap...
Last year I gave up any and all desserts. And let me just tell you, I went nuts on Easter!
"Yes, as a matter of fact I will have a 17th cookie. Thanks for asking!"
Other past lent choices were no coffee, chocolate, meat, etc. So, I guess here I am wondering what to give up.
The more I have asked friends/family, the more I've realized that I don't necessarily have to give up something for lent, but I can actually take something on for lent.
____________________________________
So, I thought about it for quite awhile and have come up with a list of potential things to choose to take on for lent:
- Community volunteering once a week - 25 push-ups and 60 sit ups every night - Running 50 miles over lent - Reading 30 minutes before bed - Doing 2 loads of laundry during the week - At least a 30 minute devotional before bed
