currently {july edition}
before i begin my post for today, i wanted to thank you all- from the bottom of my heart- for all the baby love. wow. we are both so grateful for all of the support, prayers, thoughts, and endless love. your comments, emails, texts, and care packages {so sweet} have meant so, so much to us. thank you. we are both excited and so happy to experience this special blessing. i am planning on sharing how we spilled the pregnancy beans and other baby inspirations with you this week. sharing this with you all is so special and i couldn’t ask for better readers, a more supportive family, and close friends.
CRAVING | this prompt is perfect this month for the pregnant lady!! watermelon and donuts are at the top of my list! i am limiting my donut intake … but not the watermelon! there is a bowl in front of me right now. can you overdose on watermelon?!
GRILLING | we love to grill out in the summer and enjoy dinner on our back patio. i have been pinning some fun corn recipes lately and am excited to try some news ones… i will post about what we love most {i saw one that included jalapenos and wrapping the cob in bacon- you are welcome in advance!} what do you love to grill lately?
LISTENING | it’s no secret that i love, love pandora… it’s on all.day.long in this house {and at school when i am teaching}. lately, i am loving kate walsh and the beatles! both are just so good. what is your favorite station(s)?
PLANNING | anything and everything baby! lots of baby nursery inspirations- hello, cuteness! in addition, we are traveling back to my hometown in ohio this week and i literally can’t even wait. i used to travel home often when i first moved to north carolina and in the past fews years those visits have dwindled significantly. it’s a special place in my heart… so different than my home in charlotte. i love them both for different reasons… but sometimes i get homesick and that has been the case for the past few weeks. i think my soul needs some midwestern love more than anything! give me some country music, sunsets, cowboy boots, laughter {usually until my stomach hurts}, and lots of game playing – it’s simple, fun, and always a good time. people are kind and friendly ~ i can’t wait to see everyone!
DECORATING | yesterday we rearranged our home a bit {i love to do this often… it’s so refreshing!} we decided to start to clear out baby monaco’s future nursery! yay! {which is currently an office} and added an office area to our living room area downstairs. so in love. i think it turned out well and hope to share a few photos of the new space soon!
you all know i adore twine & twig
{everything about all of it!}
how cute are these clutches they now make?
go check them out… adorable for summer!
…
what are you currently craving, grilling, listening, planning, and decorating?

I love the Beatles..why have I never thought of listening to their Pandora station? I've been listening more to Spotify lately but I think that's about to change 🙂 I hope that you can't OD on watermelon because I might be in trouble..it's the absolute best summer food! Enjoy!

I love Pandora too! So fun to be surprised about what the next song will be! Oh, and I don't think that it's possible to overdose on watermelon in the summer time 🙂
