currently — january

PLANNING | lots and lots- because it’s january: the month of organization, rest, calmness, and inspirations for hopefully the best year possible. so many ideas for the new year that i can’t wait to share with you all – lots of new ideas are coming your way- especially lots of event planning & wedding ideas, giveaways, healthy living, more recipes, inspirations. more details coming soon. i started using a planner for simply love- and eight days in- i am really trying to wrap my head around why i am just now using one- love. 

HOPING | to become a morning person in 2015. wish me lots of luck. there is something so special about seeing the world come alive. i used to run early every saturday morning with a group of people in uptown charlotte {while training for two half marathons} … i absolutely loved watching the city wake up. my goal is to wake up earlier – so i am not ‘running for the hills’ as my husband calls it… but instead giving myself more time to enjoy some moments of solitude- to pray, to enjoy some tea, check some awesome blogs, watch the today show, listen to pandora… however, the night owl in me might have to die first? any ideas? i love staying up late, but also want to enjoy my mornings… please let me know if you have transitioned and have any really great ideas? i would love to hear… inspired by these ideas from skinny mom.


BAKING | i have my eye on these skinny vanilla bean donuts from the skinny fork.


WEARING | lately i have been swooning over tutus – love so many- lots. i wore one over christmas as i celebrated with my family and especially love the colors in this one



RESOLVING | over the past few years i have really started to focus on healthy living and the fact that we only have one body- treasure it and take really good care of it. i am hoping to continue this in our new kitchen by starting to cook more – healthy cooking. i hope to share my recipes and findings with you all- so please stay tuned. 


what are you currently loving?

    Oh, we share many goals for 2015! Becoming a morning person may be my toughest goal yet (26 years later, and still no success!). Wishing you better success than I've had! Look forward to reading a follow-up post in the future. 🙂
