Just going for it...

I have been too out of the habit of posting lately and I need to just blog some thoughts on my mind!  Mostly really, I think I will just list what my brain has been recently consumed with and maybe once I throw it all out then I can let Jesus fill me up and pour some more productive words through me.  Life is just so very full, busy, hilarious, blessed, and all encompassing!

Here goes, a list of thoughts within my bursting little cranium:

Weekly and daily routines with Nico

Quality Time spent with daddy

Dreams and projects around the house

Hopes for Cali family to move closer to us (and find jobs!)

Eating right

Exercising often

Trying to beat heartburn

Wearing loose clothes/feeling big lol

Making time with friends

Having to pee- a lot... 

Finishing a few inspiring books recently!

Getting ready to go camping

Organizing finances and bills

Paying off debt

Remembering I am abundantly Blessed!

Understanding my own expectations

Visiting parks

Meeting new moms

Communicating with my church family

Scheduling leaders for our babies area on Sunday mornings

Writing out goals & questions for a meeting with all the leaders

Brainstorming curriculum

Attending and participating in recent weddings!

Listening to my boys make music ;)

Leaving time for Jeremy to get some alone time too

Looking forward to a baby shower :)

Enjoying being a stay-at-home mommy

Preparing for another home birth and baby!

Birthday parties

Festivals

Gardening

Wondering how to schedule in date nights more regularly- lol

Shopping lists and groceries

Glorious nap times- haha

Beating the heat

Playing board games

Staying up too late to watch movies with my hubby

Deciding whether or not to completely repaint our bathroom

Reading through the Gospels at Breakfast

Praying for restoration after disciplining my little man

Kisses, tickles, cuddles, and laughs- as much as possible!

Starting a new book study with my mom friends: "The Power of a Praying Wife"

Realizing everyday how very soon our little girl will be here :)

Organizing hands on play dates every Friday during this month

Deep cleaning random things

Trying to stay on top of chores- dishes, laundry, and dinner...

Lol... that last thought just leaves me void of ideas for a moment- dishes, laundry, and dinner keep Nico and I busy all day.  Repetitive stuff!  Between playing, folding, washing, napping, playing some more, socializing a little bit, making dinner, spending time with daddy, and then our bedtime routine- well our day is over and gone!  Its amazing how time flies when we are having fun ;) 

Yes, my life is pretty simple most days.

And yet, each one ends, begins, and is filled with love...

Love!  The most profound gift, simply given to me daily by my Creator...  I am blessed to experience love in such real ways every day- physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.  Most often I see my Savior's love through my family, however, He surprises me in new ways all the time!

May my heart ever remain grateful...

Truly my God's Love never fails. 

Thank you Jesus!
