It's the weekend! I'm not sure why but this week flew by for me! I haven't had much time to do anything but work, spend time with my guys and unpack my house the past few weeks so I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend full of nothing and a little bit of organizing since all that's left is hanging up Logan's clothes and organizing our bedroom.
Now on to my favorites at the moment
Favorite TV Show: Married at First Sight...I watched this show last season and I was instantly addicted. I couldn't figure out if it was real and if it was would it really work? I got really invested in these people that I have never met but I was excited to go on the roller coaster with them. When the season ended and they introduced the follow up show "The First Year" I was elated that I could still follow their journey. Now that the season o MAFS: The First Year is over I can get invested in a new set of strangers willing to put themselves in this awkward position all to find love.
Favorite Picture: For now while I'm working Logan is hanging out with my friend Nikita and her sweet boys. Today I got a picture of the Logan's picking out school supplies for some underprivileged children in the Philippines. When he got home he was so proud of himself for "helping them learn and do art"
Favorite Past time: It all started with a random game of Operation and it has turned into part of our daily routine. We don't watch any TV until after Logan's down for the night and we now laugh, eat dinner and play board games. The quality of our daily interactions has greatly improved.
Favorite Song: I don't know why but I am OBSESSED with this song...I really don't think that Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney could've produced anything terrible and besides who hasn't been four five seconds from going crazy and its only Wednesday hahaha
Favorite New Habit: Warm Lemon Water! I recently heard about people drinking warm lemon water in the morning and then I came across this blog post on Mommy Week and now since I don't drink coffee this has become my morning ritual. My digestive system is already seeing benefits lol

Favorite random article (s): Isaac and I have been on a mission to improve our lives physically, spiritually, mentally and of course as I'm sure you know about my obsession with Dave Ramsey, financially. Part of that mission has led us to become more minimalistic and make an effort to own less stuff. We have also started to bring the minimalistic views into other aspects of our lives as well. While doing some research we came across this article on Becoming Minimalist and this one on Making Room for Greatness
See who I'm linking up with this weekend

It is so interesting to watch the dynamics of their marriages as they try to navigate getting to now each other, moving in together and all the other marriage stuff all at the same time. Thanks for stopping by Sarah!
DeleteSo glad I found my way over here from the link-up! Love your space! I am in the middle of major closet clean-outs over here. We, too, are becoming fans of "less is more". One of our favorite new traditions is a no gift policy at birthday parties - instead we ask people to bring an item to donate! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteawww thanks lady! I'm blushing and super glad that you found your way here also lol I've never thought to do to the donate gifts policy for birthdays. For now we do the one in one out for anything that comes in including presents
DeleteThe picture of the boys picking out school supplies is adorable. What a great lesson to learn...helping those less fortunate.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Erin! Yeah I am so grateful to have friends who value the same things I do and teach him even when I am away
DeleteI've also been trying to simplify and reduce the amount of "stuff" in my life lately...it's not easy, but I keep working toward it!
ReplyDeleteIt is def not as easy as I would like it to be because old habits die hard over here but moving to a country where the spaces are smaller and the culture isn't as flashy def helped us
DeleteI can't wait until Kane can play board games! And I still have boxes to unpack:( I've been traveling for work most of each week since we've moved, so when I'm home in the evenings, I haven't felt like doing any organizing. Thankfully the travel is coming to an end and I'm looking forward to getting our house act together.
