5 of my favorite fun, feel-good books.

Today I want to focus on feel-good books. Books that you read when you’re down, tired, needing a laugh. There are so many great books out there, but there are a few I come back…

"As the years pass, I am coming more and more to u "As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm." -- Laura Ingalls Wilder
Oh sweet husband, how I love you. Oh sweet husband, how I love you.
I finally got wedding pictures up on the wall, and I finally got wedding pictures up on the wall, and even if they're a little crooked and not all spaced quite correctly, they bring me such joy. 🥰

Thanks to @marissatylerphoto for these lovelies! 📷

I'm feeling especially thankful today. For a husb I'm feeling especially thankful today.

For a husband who makes my coffee while I'm in bed with a migraine.

For professors who make virtual class possible.

For colorful flowers in the ditches.

For curly-headed babies grinning at me as I stop for two minutes, and their mama who hugs me.

For friends who stop by unexpectedly.

For in-laws who feed me when I forget my lunch. (And a husband who make sure I get fed, haha!)

For hats and sunglasses that shade my sensitive eyes.

All these things make life sweet, and my day a little brighter.

It's my last first day. So I decided to celebrate It's my last first day.

So I decided to celebrate.

Welcome to the foliage family, baby senior-year-spider-plant.
If ever there was an unofficial love language, it' If ever there was an unofficial love language, it's food.

I don't typically eat breakfast, but I love making breakfast! So making a week's worth of breakfasts for Caleb each weekend as a part of my meal prepping has become my favorite thing: even if I don't always eat it myself.

Yesterday, I wanted to make something fun. Not just overnight oatmeal or breakfast burritos this week. I whipped up some chocolate muffins, then hid a pocket of peanut butter inside each one. And waited for him to bite in before I said anything. His reaction was priceless, he couldn't stop laughing. Or eating muffins.

Because if there's a certain food that is my husband's particular love language, that would be peanut butter and chocolate.

Mine? Oh, chocolate too. And tater-tots. Anything chocolate, or anything potato. 

What's yours?
