1. This room from Isabella & Max Rooms. Stumbled upon it in a blog and the wheels are turning. I've had a similar concept brewing for a few months now for the playroom, and I'm liking much of how this turned out.
2. This post from I'm an Organizing Junkie resonated very deeply with me. It's all about why she goes against the grain and chooses not to be busy all the time, including her feelings about it as well as others' perceptions of it.
3. This guy in his shorts and snowboots on one of our 60 degree days this week (the snowboots were necessary since all the snow had not melted yet, of course)
4. New thoughts on being BOLD. Andy Stanley's new series (well, I don't know how new it is, since I listen to the podcasts while I'm at the gym and this was the first week almost all year that I've been able to go to the gym) is about what church was intended to be, based on Acts. Yesterday I listened to the 2nd session called Big Prayers (find it here under the Big Church series of messages). Talked about praying boldly for things that we normally do not pray for......always good stuff in those podcasts.
5. Yet more evidence that the God-inspired word in Proverbs that says to ".....guard your heart" is actually very good advice - go figure :)
6. Pictures from Brian's cell phone......haven't heard about this picture with the gorilla so I'm wondering what that story is.
And isn't he so sweet to send this to me when he took the boys sledding?
8. That I liked the first half of the Daniel study better than the second half.
9. The desire to wear my skinny jeans with my flats. I usually wear them with my boots and somehow feel more comfortable that way, but it was warmer this week and I decided on this. It was fun being a little crazy like that. Of course, there was still a long t-shirt and a cardigan to hide what needed to be - I'm not that crazy :)
10. Excitement when one of the college-aged girls in our small group honestly looked shocked tonight after I said I would be 36 in March. And then said I looked more like 26. Thank you Paige - I love you girl!!
11. This scene out my window this afternoon. We have some really awesome neighbors, and this is very often what the weekends and summer evenings are like on our street. The kids played outside all afternoon - it was close to 70 degrees today.
12. Two gray hairs. Enough said.
13. Body Pump class at the gym. It felt really good to work myself so hard. I was so sore for days afterward - knew I would be since I used to do that class every week, but had forgotten just how sore.
14. These camera strap covers from SheyB. Mine is getting pretty worn now so I'm looking for a new one, but can't decide between the two of these......
Wild Thang!

7. A lot of peace lately from reading this book "I Quit!" I'm on the very last chapter and think I will even re-read some of it. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it was definitely for me at just the right time.

15. That I really enjoyed impromptu chats I had with friends this week in the car rider line, volunteering at church, at the grocery store, in the cul-de-sac. And that I was really craving some time with girlfriends, that I need to plan better for that.
