It's 8:30 Wednesday night and my whole gang is asleep.  Please insert all of the hands raised in praise emojis here.  It has been a hectic day with a certain puppy being a puppy and a toddler going through the lovely "no" phase like it's the only word she knows.

I'm tired.

So rather than focusing on all that makes me count down to bedtime.  Here's what I'm loving right now...

Rain.  It makes the heat break... even if only for a moment.

That September is almost here.  The girls and I are traveling home for my uncles wedding, and I can't wait!  We have lots of exciting stuff planned for our time away and it should be tons of fun.

Winning stuff.  I got an e-mail earlier this week that I had won a spa package giveaway, courtesy of a blog contest I entered, good for me and some friends.  I basically never win so that was super exciting.  AND THEN I won a free LulaRoe shirt through my giiiiirl Abby's LLR party.  (Also, HI ABIGAIL! Happy birthday!!!)

Successful e-parties.  I've been a military spouse since 2010.  Everyone and their mom sells something.  But I just had my first home business party last week.  And it was a success!  I've officially started Christmas shopping for the girls... and Usborne books are most definitely a good way to start.

The dollar section at Target.  Hit it up last week for $8 worth of goodies to help keep Grace occupied during our road trip.

Freshly painted toenails.  For Grace and I.  Having girls is the best!

That football season is back!  Hallelujah, all is right in the world.

The sound of cicadas late at night and early in the morning.  Some people complain about the noise... but it reminds me of home and the lake.  So make your noise cicadas.

Gummy baby smiles.  NEVER gets old.  I'm okay with her never having teeth at this point.

Cuddles from my big girl.  She sits next to me on the couch.  Intertwines her sweet little arm in mine and smiles the goofiest of grins.

Nursing.  While I'm currently kind of sore... I will never not love and appreciate the ability to feed my babies to the healthy chunky phase of life.  Where it is socially acceptable to have dimples for elbows and five rolls on each thigh.  I'm not afraid to brag... I did that.

What are you loving?



always,
