Bunny Ears?

The fun things about this outfit:

Leggings - H&M, Boots&Socks - Target, Purse - Basque Country

My sister, mom and I have a thing... It's called LOVE.

Seriously, our bond is special. We don't agree on everything. In fact we've been known to have an argument or two. But I know that through thick and thin, I always have these two! They are such a huge gift from God to me. I am forever grateful to have them in my life.

All that to say, my sister {My Wholesome Home} lives farther away than I'd like. 

Well, farther away than she'd like too. And I miss her. 

So even for an hour of her flying through town... I take advantage of getting together! 

In usual iPhone generation fashion, I asked a stranger to take some pictures of the 3 of us 

jolly musketeers. After taking a couple, I jockingly kicked my mom out for a sister shot. 

We caught her sneaking up behind us with a couple pairs of ...

You guessed it folks... "bunny ears"

Will it ever get old?

No really, I'm asking... Will people ever stop with the bunny ears? 

Life questions people. Life questions!

LOVE THESE TWO!!!

Psalm 121:1-2

I lift up my eyes to the hills.

From where does my help come?

My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

Wishing for Sun?

The fun things about this outfit:

Shoes, Tank & Jeans - Old Navy, Necklace - Gift

Ok, as I sit here sniffling and wishing I could do anything but breath only through my mouth, I am really wanting some sunshine. I realize that's a long shot. I know it's not like me to relish the rain. But it's what my sinus' are wishing for. Sun!

So even if I can't get some sunshine, I thought I'd post an outfit that I wore while the sun was shining in Basque Country in early October!

Philippians 4:8-9

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Hit by a Bug

The fun thing about this outfit:

Dress - Target $7, Sweater - Free, Earrings - OldNavy, Shoes - Target $7, Bracelets - Thrifted

So the bug has hit.

As the leaves fall from the trees in this beautiful season... 

So does the cold season fall on my sinuses.

That's right, I'm sick. I'd love to blame some sticky fingered child or standing in the rain or something, but I haven't been around many children lately and I'm pretty sure that when it rains I duck for cover. So the only thing left to blame is the season. 

So with my tissue box by my side, I'm riding it out.

1 Peter 1: 14-15

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 

but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, 

“You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

Weekend Retreat!

The fun things about this outfit:

Leggings & T-shirt - H&M, Shoes - Thrifted, Scarf - Bought in Basque Country, Chambray - Thrifted

I'm leaving this afternoon for a women's retreat with a bunch of ladies from my church.

I'm pretty excited about it. I really really really like getting to know the ladies in my church. I never regret it when I get to know someone who I've only seen from a distance.

My church is so packed full of amazing women who aren't faking it.

You know what I mean: When people put on a good face for public appearances. 

I mean it's not like you can tell every person you meet every detail of your lives... That's craziness.

But what I mean by not faking it, is that they aren't pretending that they're perfect. They aren't trying to make anyone think that they have life figured out and they have it all together. They're just living life. Learning to serve Jesus more. And loving each other as they do it. I love that! I love you ladies!

1 Corinthians 13:1-3
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Wordless Wednesday: Home Made Dress

Mark 7:14-15

And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, 

but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.”

Screaming Like a Nut Case

 The fun things about this outfit:
Shoes & Jeans - Old Navy, Sweater - Thrifted, Scarf - old'n days, Earrings - Thrifed

After a long and ridiculously action packed and blog lacking October, it's time to try (key word) to get back into a habit here. 

Let me set the scene for you. After 11:30pm I'm sitting in a car talking to a friend before leaving to go home. I see my friends eye get caught by something out the window behind me. I turn around to see what was up, and right out my window is a huge dog face. (Not sure you know... I'm a little irrationally scared of large dogs) So I screamed... Quickly. Sharply. Loudly! As my eyes moved up to see a man facing my car and standing very closely I jumped backwards onto my E-break and screamed again... longer. Sharper. Louder! And you know... Just for good measure I screamed one more time... Longer again. Nice and Sharply... and Louder!

The guy was totally caught of guard. He was clearly looking at his phone and not even trying to be a total creeper (you know... my instant thought) and he quickly  moved along. To which I jumped out of my car and yelled, "I'm so sorry. I was soooo startled." At which exact point I got back in my car and began to laugh so hard I cried because never in my life have I screamed like I was running from an axe murdering clown in a horror movie.

And my friends that is the story of a whole 45 seconds of my weekend. 

First John 1:5

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you,

that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
