New Discoveries


I feel like this week has been a week full of new discoveries - for Luke and myself.

Big boy has teeth. He has learned to pull-up. He mastered the ability to use his thumb and index finger to grasp things. He can now go from crawling to sitting on his bottom, and he is usually tickled to death upon doing so. And last, but certainly not least...he has figured out how to climb up the first stair in our house. (insert hyperventilation here).


I, on the other hand, have made some new [to me] discoveries myself.

1. Jesus Culture. I was feeling like my ipod was getting a little dry in terms of music selection so before going on a very long walk with Luke I asked for some suggestions to get a pep in my step...and let me tell you. This put a pep in my step, a yearning in my soul, and rejuvenated a deep and gut-wrenching enthusiasm for singing praises to the LORD. My neighbors likely thought I was slightly mental as they saw me walking down the street. Or dancing, rather. Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-lY8VQpSTY if you want a taste of our worship fest.
2. Whitney Miller, Masterchef. We're friends on facebook. Enough said.
3. Williams and Sonoma kitchen towels. Do you ever feel like your kitchen towels just don't soak up water? Personally, it's a pet peeve. It just kind of shoves water around instead of actually absorbing something. Billy and I have a secret love for Williams and Sonoma but typically don't shop there due to the pricing. But, we just so happened to stumble in when they were having a kitchen towel sale. Sometimes I get my hands wet just to wipe them in my new towels... yikes.
4. Ebay. I know, a little behind on the times. My mom started shopping for Luke on there and so out of curiosity I took a look for myself. My heavens, it's a big new world out there!
5. shadethatlamp.blogspot.com. My precious friend, Tory, is a fabulous interior decorator and lampshade designer. She has such a BEAUTIFUL heart and is helping me redesign and decorate my living room with things we already own. What a true gift she has!!!
6. Harris Teeter's chocolate chips. Call me crazy if you will, but seriously, they make a difference. 7. Starbucks Light Mocha Frappaccino. I don't go to Starbucks often but I was recently given a gift card to the ever so lovely Starbucks. I'm a HUGE hot chocolate person which is typically my drink of choice when making a stop into Starbucks. But let's be honest, folks. I need a little more caffeine these days and the hot chocolate just doesn't deliver.
