Currently.....

Obsessing over: 
Homemade lattes- We are trying to be more intentional with our budget so my Starbucks/Coffee shop budget has decreased and my thriftiness has increased at home! They are super easy to make and just as good! Right now I am sipping on a Caramel Machiatto with homemade caramel sauce. Can you say YUM?!

Mint.com- Like I said above we are working on our budget and this website has been amazing! Check it out if you are needing a new budget program. It has made me a lot more aware of where our money is actually going! And a great way to save for our goals!

Reading: hmmm not much reading going on here lately. I read a food and wine magazine a little while ago. Does that count?

Working on: my new little business. If you haven't noticed I started selling my button earrings!
Check out my facebook page here! https://www.facebook.com/simplymelco
I am currently running a contest to win two free pairs of earrings. Make sure you enter! Information is found on my page.
My plan is to eventually open a Etsy shop where I can sell my handmade earrings and maybe other crafty items.

Fitness- lately I have been trying to work out more regularly! Sadie and I do a mommy&me boot camp once a week which is a really good workout and a great way to meet other moms. I have also been doing my Jillians Michaels 30 day Shred video. Her workouts are fast and intense which is perfect for someone with a short attention span like me. :)

Thinking about:  That I am so blessed and God is so faithful.

Anticipating: Our girls weekend away in Seattle in a few weeks! Looking forward to hanging with my mom and sisters (yes Sadie is coming too!)


Eating: Tonight's dinner is sloppy joes on homemade buns. Random I know! Dinner is all ready to go. I was feeling like super mom this morning. :)
Now I can enjoy the afternoon with my girl and go on a walk with a friend.

Praying for: a house. wisdom in parenting Sadie.

Wishing for: SPRING! Yes I am still wishing for more spring like weather. I just want to wear flats and not have cold feet. Is that too much to ask?

I love my new M I N T button earrings! Combining two of my
favorite things... Mint & lace 

Daddy & his girl. No words....

Happy weekend!

Cherishing moments.

Tonight I was looking through some older photos of Sadie. Next week she will be 8 months old! I still can't believe it! I love looking back at photos and seeing how much she has changed and grown. 

This week she learnt how to clap, realized she has ticklish feet and found her new favorite toy is yarn! She smiles and laughs all day long. She brings me so much joy and I am so grateful for her. 

I love you Sadie Rae!

My favorite picture of me and Sadie. She made me a mama.

Happy Weekend! My hubby is on night shift tonight so I am going to take it easy, drink tea and watch some Gossip Girl. Oh and craft. Always crafting. :)
