monday mantra...
This week I feel like relaxing and putting my feet up. Maybe it's because of this gorgeous weather!
I believe in trying to eat healthily! Unless you give me Starbucks, Ben & Jerry's, or bread. Other than that, I'm on a health kick!
I'm addicted to Frank Sinatra. If he were still alive, I'd kind of be a groupie (but the clean, happy, non-crazy kind).
I wish I could dress like my grandmother did at my age. Gloves, pumps, pearls, and a dress = Jackie O = classic and chic. I was born in the wrong era.
I'm jealous of all of you mommy bloggers. I have had the baby fever since I was 2, and it's never gone away. It's not time for that yet, but I'll keep being jealous until I have my own baby in my arms.
Soundtrack/Mantra for the week: People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. (Maya Angelou)
Unless it's bread! haha That's me too. I could never give up carbs. You should drink green tea. So good for you. And they have a bunch of different flavors. I like the peach green tea. I switched to that instead of coffee for a week and lost a few lbs. Oh and love the mantra.
ReplyDeleteI'm a carboholic as well. Seriously, pasta, bread, etc. I love it all! AND I have baby fever, too. When will yall have a little one?
ReplyDelete:) such great mantras! I love Jackie-o! I agree! Wrong era for sure!
ReplyDeleteSarah Ann! I think we might be twins ;^) I am CONVINCED I was born in the wrong era...and have always wanted to dress like they did in Jackie O's day. Also, Frank Sinatra is a love of mine too. Actually all those crooners are...how do you feel about Dean Martin? Ah...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Monday!
i try to eat raw veggies/fruits during the day...i actually crave them;
ReplyDeleteat night...is when i want junk...eh!!!
and i love jackie o's classic look!
ohhh I love me some Maya!!!
ReplyDeletehaha I love what you said about the diet kick!! Im the SAME way lol!!!
I'm sure SC is beautiful, I would actually like it if he ended up getting stationed over there, but you are so right- I WISH we were together!!!
I can't just pick one thing about this that I love. I love it all. I would love to be able to dress like Jackie O & I love Frank Sinatra!! I seriously adore all your answers!
ReplyDeleteI love Frank Sinatra too--and I wish I could dress that way as well. And I SERIOUSLY have that momma/baby jealousy...even though I'm only 13!
ReplyDeleteI think we're gonna be good friends--have a great day! :-)

I love this :) I'd love to be relaxing in a hammock in this gorgeous weather!
ReplyDeleteI was SO born in the wrong era as well! The fashion back then just takes my breath away!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! oh girl, I was totally born in the wrong era too ;)
ReplyDeleteand the weather has been amazing, makes me want to just lay outside and have a big picnic~
Oh girl you're going to love my wedding if you think you were born in the wrong era... I am right there with you. The designer even named my dress the "Jackie O. dress". YAY!
ReplyDeleteI love gorgeous weather!!! I'm starting the healthy kick as well!! Time for healthy food in the summer! Fresh fruits and vegetables! YUM!
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS feel like I should have lived in the 60s! we'd make great Jackie O's
ReplyDeleteIM SOOO WITH YOU ON THE BABY BLOG !!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou're so cute! You can come and take care of my baby anytime when he/she gets here!! :)
ReplyDeleteoh how wonderful!! i think we are kindred spirits. i love me some jackie o and veggies...and starbucks haha!
ReplyDeletethat last quote is just terrific.
I love Sinatra too. Can't say I've witnessed much of his acting, but I do love his music.
ReplyDeleteANd that is a very good mantra for the week. Take some time and enjoy the nice whether! Nothing wrong with relaxing a bit! After all, God does encourage us to have rest. Without rest we tend to start running from God to try and gain control because things start to slip.
So slap on some 45, and enjoy the sun :) I know I will be :)
Oh girl, I am in sync with you on several levels!
ReplyDelete1) Ditto on the health kick
2) Jackie is my fashion icon
3) I have always had baby fever. You're married though--one up on me at this point!
I've got the serious baby fever too!

hooray for good weather. thanks for stopping by my blog. your little blog here is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteWe are on a total health kick in our house right now, too! I love it. Warm weather and eating healthy is so motivating! And about the mommy blogger thing...seriously...this has so been on my mind like crazy lately. It's like I hit 24 and BOOM, "baby fever" as you called it, hit. Last year, I had no inkling of wanting a little one in the family for a few years or so. But now, oh my. Hubby has to keep reminding me that now's not the time. Grr..I'll keep praying for contentment! hehe love your honesty!
ReplyDeleteIm with you on the wrong era too!
ReplyDeleteI do wear pearls A LOT though!
Good luck on the health kick, chocolate is my weakness!
Your blog's lovely, and i love the way you write!
also with you on the baby fever, those little smiles make your heart happy, one day you'l be a mama, and be an amazing one, I just know it xx
Ahhh...your blog is too darlin!
ReplyDeleteI love it.
and about the eating Healthy
I do consider myself a healthy eater...all the time.
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE bread. can't go without it.
Just eat wheat or whole grain. That's better than white!!
