I Do Stuff

Blog Every Day

Day 6, Monday: If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer the question, 'what do you do'?


What do I do? Well...

 I do dishes. And laundry, and vacuuming, and dusting. I'm like a regular Cinderella!

 I make food. Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Sometimes they're good, and sometimes they're not! But, make them I do.

 I plant flowers, on occasion. And I mow grass.

 I help kiddos learn. I encourage, guide, and support those ones who tend to have a harder time. 

 I write. It might not be the best stuff out there, but I enjoy it! 

 I exercise. Probably not as much as I should, but I want to be healthy. 

 I play with my dog. Fetch, walks, belly rubs, and the works. 

 I style my hair. If people only knew how long I spend on it sometimes!

 I take pictures, but I wish I took more. 

 I fix things, and change things, and try to make things look pretty. 

 I drink coffee. Lots, and lots of coffee!

 I love, I worry, I struggle, I laugh. 

 I cry, I miss, I hope, and I pray. 

I live.




Lovely Ladies

Blog Every Day

Day 5, Sunday: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don't have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member


This one is pretty hard for me, because I'm still fairly new to blogging! I actually first started my blog in the fall of  2011, but I didn't get serious about writing and connecting with other bloggers until just a few months ago. So, I don't have a lot of actual blogger "friends," they're more like acquaintances.  

 There are a few lovely ladies though, that I would like to recognize! First off, is my one actual blogger friend, who was also my friend in real life. She's been mentioned a few times around these parts (and even had a guest post) and she's pretty awesome! I'm talking about my friend Molly, from Mae Live Free. She's a vegan mommy of an adorable little girl, and she blogs about her life, living green, and raising a little one with the man she loves so much! I definitely think you all should check her out, if you haven't already. She likes to share (delicious) recipes, hair ideas, great photos, and lots of coffee talk! (smart lady!)

Then there are a couple others who, while maybe wouldn't fall under the "friend" category just yet, are pretty close! Lauren, of siddathornton, is so great! Her Sunday Currently is one of the first link-ups I've ever done, and she is just so sweet! She posts some pretty neat pictures, and we have a lot in common! Something tells me that we could have such a good time if we ever got to hang out in person. And Tina from Like Ordinary Life is just as awesome! I love reading about her running, and house projects (we both would like to sell our houses). So, yeah, I guess we have a lot in common too!

There are plenty of others who are always super sweet and nice when we chat, so I hope that my circle of blogging friends just continues to grow and grow!

And with that, it's off to bed for me!

Sunday Currently: Volume 14



Usually, I like to have at least one picture to share with you all on Sundays, but I'm afraid that's not happening this week! I haven't been using my camera enough I guess...

|Currently|

Reading  Hmm, blog posts mostly. And I've been really bad about doing that too! This last week was a pretty busy one for me, and reading is one of those things that goes by the wayside. 
Writing  I feel like I've been writing so much this week! With the whole Blogging Every Day in May challenge, I've been writing tons, and I love it! If you'd like to see what all I've been doing, you can find them all here.
Listening  A couple of things. At the forefront are the sounds of birds! It's such a gorgeous morning, that I had to have my breakfast and write this post outside on my patio! All the little birds are just chirp chirping away. I'm also listening to Churchill. I love their sound so much! All they currently have out is their EP, and I hope they get a full length album out soon.
Thinking  About all of the things I would like to do this week. I have the next few days off from work, so I would like to get a few projects out of the way.
Smelling  Wonderful, delicious, fresh air! It smells like summer!
Wishing  Hmm, not for much I guess. Things are going really well! Maybe that this warm weather will stay, and that the rain they're forecasting for next week will stay away. 
Hoping  To have a nice, relaxing Sunday. And maybe to play a little volleyball with some friends!
Loving  This whole blogging/eating breakfast outside thing. It's very nice! I may have found a new morning spot, I think.
Wanting  To buy a few more plants to put in my flower beds. One of them is still completely empty! I did get my hydrangeas planted the other day, though. Now, hopefully I don't kill them!
Needing  To start wearing gloves when I'm working on things outside. My project from last week resulted in a lot of slivers and scrapes on my hands.
Feeling  Oh, I'd say I'm feeling pretty swell today!
Clicking  On a few other bloggers' posts from the May challenge. I really enjoyed my friend Molly's intro post, a story about her life. She wrote it in poetry form, and I thought it was just great! Then, there are these videos! I love a good workout video, and I have been using the Malibooty pin on my Pinterest. It was just in .gif form, so I didn't realize it was from a whole series of videos! (yes, I do realize that I'm a dork, because they're very popular videos, ha!) I am totally using all of them to get myself toned up for summer.

Have a great Sunday, and thanks for stopping by!

Linking up with Lauren :)

You Can Quote Me

Blog Every Day


Day 4, Saturday: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it



"This too shall pass," is one of my favorite quotes of all time. I never used to have a favorite, and honestly I didn't think much of quotes at all. For some reason, they don't tend to really stick around in my mind. 

This quote though, is one that my mother-in-law shared with me when I was having a hard time, and it still resonates with me. We all go through struggles in this life, it's just a part of being human. When I'm going through something hard, and it starts to get me down, I just think of this.

I feel that it's very true. Any bad thing that could happen, any sorrow, anger, or bad day will never last forever. It will always pass, and you will realize when it's done that you were stronger than you thought. 

This has helped me through several trying times, and I know I will continue to use it in the years to come. I hope you enjoy it, and that it helps you in whatever struggles you might be going through!
