5 Good Things | No. 17

Hello Weekend!!! Who’s excited? I’m living for the weekends these days. The photo above is when we visited my brother and sister-in-law last weekend. We watched some football, ate a lot of yummy food, and made smores! This weekend is more low-key, and I’m not mad about it. Teaching in a pandemic is tough, y’all. Love on your teacher friends, your kids’ teachers, or yourself if you are a teacher. They/we need it! Weekends are our favorite time right now. This week I’ve been sharing some of my favorite things I’ve come across these past three weeks, and I am finally wrapping it up this week with post number three. It’s a random assortment of things, so we’ll just call this a regular ol’ 5 Good Things post.

5 Good Things | No. 13

My, my, my! What a week! I thought I was going to be starting my first full week of school, but Hurricane Sally had other plans for us. Thankfully, all was well in the Norman house. I did have some bright spots during the week and have listed them below for you. One of them was definitely getting to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Paul’s cousin Cam to his beautiful fiance, Bailey! Did you get a look at all those Normans in one picture? Welcome to the family, Bailey!

5 Good Things No. 6

Despite the photo above, we had quite a busy week in the Norman house. It’s been a while since things have been busy around here. For me, anyway. Paul hasn’t stopped working, so I guess I’m the only one who feels like it’s different. I got my hair done, went to Montgomery, and went in actual stores and interacted with sales associates. Several things that seem so normal that we haven’t been able to do in months, all done with a mask, of course, but I got to do them nonetheless. Looking forward to a new week full of more normal things.

Seven on a Saturday- Seven Things I’m Loving this Week

Happy Saturday, friends! I’m so happy for this weekend. We are getting to celebrate some friends of ours at a couple’s baby shower. They’re having a little boy, and Paul totally picked out the gift we’re giving them. It’s precious! We’ll call the gift the bonus thing I’m loving this week, but I can’t show it in case Ashley reads this post before the shower. 🙂

This week has been a bit of a whirlwind with discovering Paul had broken his leg and getting used to that new normal. He definitely has the best case scenario for a broken leg, so we’re counting our blessings there. However, there are many good things that I’ve been loving this week so let’s focus on those.
