Favorite Things, June 2014

A few things that are making me happy right now...

The Nashville weather! I thought I was going to move to 95 degrees and 100% humidity every day, but there's been much more variety. If it's below 90, I don't even think it's really hot. I'm loving the warm evenings and the fact that my feet have a tan line from my Rainbows. The pool in our apartment complex is the cherry on top.

Liberte Coconut Yogurt

I'm super picky about yogurt. I don't like Greek yogurt and I don't like yogurt that's too sugary. That leaves a very, very small window, but thankfully the Liberte (non-greek) yogurt is perfect. The coconut is my favorite- not too sugary, with bits of coconut for crunch.

30 Day Fitness App

I found this app a couple weeks ago and have been loving it! It's full of short exercises that start out small and build up over thirty days. I'm currently working through the ab & squat challenge, plank challenge and triceps dips. I never know what I'm supposed to do at the gym, this has been a huge help.

Yes to Blueberries

When Kim was home in May, we did a girls trip to Ulta. One of the things I asked her about was an eye cream. I'm in the last year of my twenties, so this is preventative. So far I'm remembering to use it twice a day. 

Simplicity Parenting 

One of my best friends recommended this book to me. I haven't finished it yet, but I like the principles outlined in the book: slowing down as a family, a consistent schedule and rhythm, lots of active play in the outdoors, etc. It really speaks to how Brian and I live our lives. We're creatures of habit, we eat dinner together every night and we keep Caleb on the same schedule every day, give or take half an hour. It's important to remember we need to keep this kind of consistency as our lives get busier. 

Brunch with Bobby 

In my time at home, I'm usually looking for something to have on in the background while I'm folding laundry or doing the dishes. (One of the few perks of this apartment: I can see the tv from the sink/prep area.) {Side note: Brian and I just had a whole conversation about if the period went inside or outside the parenthesizes. He told me not to put a whole sentence in parenthesizes. I told him I didn't care about his opinion anymore.}

ANYWAY. Brunch with Bobby (Flay) is my new favorite cooking show. He does a sweet dish, a savory dish and a drink. It's the perfect meal. 

Those are just a few things making me happy this month!
