Currently Loving- December 2019

Hi, friends! Long time no see. I took a little break from blogging, and I’m happy to return today. I tend to take breaks periodically. I admit that this time around it has had a lot to do with the time of year and the stress of my teaching job. It’s all caused a lull in creativity for the blog, and for that I apologize. I’m hoping 2020 brings more clarity and creativity for this space and just for life in general. But for now let’s recap the last month of 2019. Grab your coffee or tea or wine and let’s get started.

Currently Loving- November 2019

Happy, happy December! Though I thoroughly enjoyed November, I’m so happy to do all things Christmas. It really does feel like the most wonderful time of the year. I think a lot of that is because it’s so visually pleasing and the music is so good. 🙂 I know that music comment won’t go over well with a few of you (ahem, Paul), but I don’t care. I am who I am. November was particularly busy and fun. If you’re new around here my monthly wrap-ups are about things I’ve done and products I’ve enjoyed. It’s basically a monthly account of what life has been like for me. It started off pretty great and ended great, too. Let’s get started.

Currently Loving- October 2019

So I’d like to know where October went. I feel like it was just October 1st. Wow, what a busy month! I keep a running list of things that I love about each month, and I have to say that this month’s list is quite long. So grab your coffee and settle in.

Currently Loving- September 2019

I sure hope October is bringing some cooler temperatures! So long, September and your record highs, your drought, and your ridiculous power bills. We are all done with you! October, please bring us highs of 80 instead of 100, the desire to drink hot coffee instead of iced, the need to wear the sweaters we’ve all been buying but haven’t been able to wear, and better attitudes because we’ll no longer be drenched in sweat. Please and thank you.

I’m not as bitter as I sound, but I sure am ready for October. October really signifies fall to me. It’s essentially the beginning of the holiday season, and let’s face it, there’s just something about this time of year that can make you feel hope and happiness like no other time of the year can. It’s a time of new beginnings and opportunity, and I always have a sense of optimism inside when October rolls around. I am trying to set my intentions for this season since I’m already realizing how busy it’s going to be. But for now, let’s reflect on some of the greatness of September.

Currently Loving- August 2019

Is it fall yet? August is my least favorite month of the year. My goodness, it’s hot in Alabama. I seriously think I’d like to move further north. I’m not meant to sweat this much. Anyone else?
There were some good things that I loved during this hellish month, but this heat just ain’t one of them.

Currently Loving- July 2019

Hi friends! You guys, I made a list of the things I’ve been loving this month, and it is so long! I love that and hope that that will continue for the rest of the year. I’ve found so many small things to love and be thankful for this month, and I’m just happy to share so you can be reminded to stop and appreciate the small things, too.

What You Should Watch Next and What You can Skip

We all know TV in the summertime can be really bad. There’s typically only reruns or dumb filler shows on prime time TV. This is good, though, because it allows us to catch up on the Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, and Hulu shows we want to watch. Which is exactly what I did this summer. I mentioned in this post what I was planning to watch this summer. Well, not all plans work out but sometimes that’s for the best. Here’s a breakdown of what I’ve watched, what I liked, what I didn’t, and what I didn’t get around to.

Currently Loving- June 2019

Hi, friends! Can you believe June is over? I’m not ready for July. I think I say that every year. I have so much fun in the summer and never want it to end. Thinking about going back to work after summer break makes me a little sad. I love this free schedule. I’ll have to make the most of July, but let’s recap June. It was a busy one!

Currently Loving- May 2019

Hi, friends! It’s the end of May! This is particularly exciting if you are a teacher or work a teacher’s schedule. That means my wake ups won’t be quite as early, and I won’t have to be in charge of twenty little people at any given time. Basically, I get to live my best life. 🙂 Technically, I’ll still have to set an alarm (trying to make exercise a real thing now that I’m almost mid-30s), and I’ll be checking in with my mama on the regular now that she’s broken her ankle and has to be off of it for most of the summer. But it isn’t lost on me how blessed I am to have the summer off and not have to go to my actual job every day. #perksofbeingateacher

Currently Loving- April 2019

Hi friends! April is a month that I have a love/hate relationship with. It’s my birthday month, so there’s a feeling of excitement and fun. But then April is also filled with all the pollen. I hate that part of it. But this post is not about current hates. Here’s what I have been loving this month. Get ready for a very photo-heavy post.
