We are rolling around to the end of a month, which means it’s
time to share some of the fun things I ran across throughout this month. Are
you ready?
I found
this leather journal in a local store, but I did find this
link to it on Amazon. It’s a fancy pants journal…leather cover, thick
pages, and ripped edges with all kinds of character. I started writing in it
when I started seminary, and my goal is to use it to keep track of things I
learn along the way. Lessons of the heart, if you will. I really enjoy writing
in it. The paper is fun!
I can’t
remember now which blog I read that talked about this
solar street lamp, but OH is it ever cute!?!? It’s a splurge item for
sure, but I think it’s adorable, and I love that it doesn’t require wiring
since it’s solar powered. You know that ambient lighting is one of my love
languages. My goal is to fill our home, inside and out, with character-laden
pretty lights, so I am just hanging onto this link for someday. 😊
It’s so Narnia.
Remember
my cute mobile office? It’s still going strong. I love it so much. I always
make sure to keep some pre-packaged snacks in there in case I find myself out
and about when mealtime (or snack time!) comes. I’d been buying some online,
but then I ran across these RX
Mini Nut Butter and Oat bars, in Walmart, and I love them. They
don’t taste like weird healthy food, they’re only about 100 calories per bar,
and they don’t have chocolate in them, so it’s okay if my bag is in a warm spot
for a bit. These are my new winner!
Speaking
of Walmart, I found a new purse there this month! I haven’t had a new purse in
about three years, and the one I’d been carrying was falling part. I wandered
through the purse aisle and found a purse on clearance. It’s a
Pioneer Woman bag. Did not even know she had a line of purses! I can’t find the
link for it anymore, but here’s
a link for a similar Pioneer Woman purse on clearance.
The day
before we brought Lexi home, Ryan was in the ER with a kidney stone. It was his
first, and it was awful. He’s had one since then…and this month he was pretty
sure he had another one. I looked up kidney stones in our handy-dandy essential
oils handbook to see if I could find some oils that would help. I found that,
but I also found a suggestion for a little “kidney stone cocktail” that was
supposed to help it pass. It sounded awful, but he gave it a try, and it
actually seemed to help. Every half hour for six hours, he drank the juice of
half a lemon combined with 4 ounces of distilled water. And after the last one,
he drank the juice of a whole lemon with two Tablespoons of olive oil. Like I
said…sounds awful. But he did it, and it seemed to work!
I haven’t
yet shown you our dining room project, but we did finish it this month, and I
can’t wait to show you before and after pictures. I can tell you it involved this
peel-and-stick wallpaper!
One of
our church friends so graciously shared some tomatoes/cherry tomatoes with us
because she heard me say ours never ripened. I love tomatoes in things,
but I don’t generally like just eating tomatoes. But, oh my goodness.
These cherry tomatoes! I’ve heard people say before that cherry tomatoes taste
like candy, and I’ve always rolled my eyes at that. No they don’t. Chocolate
bars taste like candy. Cherry tomatoes taste like salsa. EXCEPT THESE! They were so good. I had to ask
her what they were! She said they’re called Sweet Million.
Those
were my fun finds this month! 😊
