Happy Monday, my friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Scott was in Orlando on a conference, but the kids and I kept busy! I am sharing a few of the things I am saying HELLO to on this crisp and sunny day. Hello CLEAN CLOSET!! If you happen to follow me on Instagram (@amanda_goatandlulu) and watched my stories over the weekend, you saw that I took the MAJOR plunge and Kon-Mari’d my closet! It was a MAJOR overhaul,[Read more]
Happy Monday, friends! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying an extra day off school and work today! We’re home and inside (it’s COLD out!), and I’m thinking about going full-on Marie Kondo on my closet. But, of course, I keep coming up with excuses to delay, haha! So y’all know I’m a huge fan of TV and podcasts, and one of my goals for 2019 is to take time out to read more (not listen to audiobooks[Read more]
Hello my friends! It’s been a while! We’ve been BUSY. I haven’t done one of these in a while (see the last ones here, here, and here!), so to catch you up on what I’ve been up to, read what’s currently going on around here… Appreciating- these cooler temperatures, hallelujah!! I love layers- jeans, leggings, sweaters, jackets, you name it. I love having a fire in the fireplace and snuggling up with blankets on the couch. After a LONG, HOT summer,[Read more]
I was telling my mother in law last night, that I hadn’t watched much about the school shooting in Florida yesterday. With three small children all in elementary school together, I have to give myself a bit of space, especially as news is unfolding, when it comes to events like this. My anxiety goes through the roof and I simply cannot let my mind go to those places. But as I was thinking about it later, yes, I temporarily need to[Read more]
I haven’t written up a Currently post in a while (this one and this one were the last ones!)! Here’s what’s currently on my mind and on my heart… Appreciating- The amazing Children’s Ministry staff at our church. The kids LOVE going on Wednesdays and Sundays (and at minimum one of the three cries when we leave), and Gracie and Brantley just joined the Glee Club, which meets during our Sunday service (Ben’s not quite old enough yet). So they are belting out their praise[Read more]
What. a. week. I know I say that just about every Friday, but WHEW!!! I mean, let’s have a busy week, plan and pack for our biggest (and only!) vacation of the year, and OH YEAH, let’s throw in a hurricane. WHAT?! Our week was full of board games, pajamas, praying, movie marathons, vegan banana bread (you’d never know the difference!), choir practice, baseball, softball, list-making, packing, printing, napping, Books with Bammy, errand running, sewing, planning, plotting, and waiting! And[Read more]
It was this past Friday. I took all three kids shopping with me (something I typically don’t do much of- I run errands while Scott’s working from home so I can leave them with him), as we headed to WalMart to get supplies and food for the girls’ birthday party. We shopped through the produce and baked goods, moved back to the snacks, and over to the party section. I noticed him in the grocery aisles, the first time I[Read more]
