Currently: July 2018

Currently_

Hey there, friends! It’s me! I’m trying to get to blogging. June was a butt kicker for me as we were selling a home, packing and buying another home. I also had some major projects and events going on at work, so I was totally distracted from blogging and my computer. But I made a commitment to link up each month with Anne in Residence and her co-host (Shelly from The Queen in Between) for Currently. So here I am… I made it!

I want to wish you a Happy 4th, friends! I hope you have some fun plans to celebrate our freedom and our country. Enjoy this day and if you have time, take a breathe and reflect on your blessings. It does a heart good!

Celebrating ~ Today I’m planning to celebrate the gift I have to be a citizen of this country. Good and bad, it’s still home and I love being an American. The agenda for today is a little exercise, a great parade, time with friends at a BBQ and pool. Finishing the night with fireworks and patriotic music. I’m excited about all of it!

Visiting ~ I would like to be visiting the beach or some place far away and interesting but no can do right now. Maybe later that will actually happen.

Baking ~ I wish I had planned ahead and made some Patriotic snacks and/or goodies for the BBQ and pool day.

Red White and Blue M&M'S Cookie Bars

Wearing ~ I’m wearing my summer uniforms most of the time - skirts and dresses at work, workout wear and shorts with tank tops everywhere else I go. Oh, and sandals are the only thing touching my feet when it’s hot outside.

I think I would love to add this dress to my closet. Sleeveless and polka dots, yes, please!

Loving ~ I am loving waking up every morning in our new home. I told some of my co-workers that I feel like I’m in a hotel. I love hotels! Here is where I call home…Hotel Carson!

  • Happy America Day, my friend!
  • I'm glad that you're loving your new home! I wish I had baked some patriotic treats too, those cookie bars look so good. I hope you have a happy 4th!
  • Congrats on your new home. Very pretty!! Hope you will settle in quickly and put this moving business behind you. Too many moves for you, my friend! And it is such hard work!! That polka dot dress is adorable and so Pretty Woman! You would wear it so well! Like the flirty little hem. Just bought some olive shorts and they are my new favs. Seems like they go with everything. Hope life settles down for you soon and you can return to blogging. Miss hearing from you. XO
  • Whew, sounds like you have had a ton going on, but so great that you joined in today! Congrats on the new house - sounds like it doesn't get much better than having a hotel to call your own :) And oooooh those M&M blondies look so good. Now I wish I had baked that too!
  • All the red, white, and blue must have made your celebration very festive! And I really like the design of those shorts. Do you mind sharing their origin?
    • I purchased the short from Old Navy.
