  1. Rooted in: Many mornings I have my quiet time in our truck after I drop my husband off at work. It’s usually not very picturesque but on Monday the morning was just beautiful. I was using my Write the Word journal and the passage was Psalm 84–“Blessed are those whose strength is in You, in who’s heart are the highways to Zion. For the Lord God is a sun and shield, the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly” I don’t normally Instagram my morning quiet time but it was so pretty that I wanted to share & remember forever here 🙂 
  2. We watched The Greatest Showman last night and I LOVED it! I was already in a pretty weepy mood (#pregnancyhormones) and I cried through basically the entire movie. Also, I can’t stop listening to the soundtrack and attempting to sing along while getting all the words mixed up.
  3. I can’t get enough of this super simple ground beef bowl recipe. We’ve eaten it weekly for the past three weeks and the leftovers get devoured quickly. It’s the easiest thing in the world to make, the ingredients are super cheap, and it’s delicious. Definitely a family favorite.
  4. We had a super simple Easter but it was really nice. We went to church and ate Cookout after. Definitely traditional. If you don’t know what Cookout is, it’s super good fast food. Kind of like if In n Out had a ton of options….at the same time In n Out is sacred ground and I don’t know that I’m qualified to make these comparisons. Anyway. I took advantage of the holiday as an opportunity to wear my super favorite dress right now:

  5. Dreaming of: Our babymoon! I spend most of my days at work thinking of how wonderful it’s going to be to spend four whole days with my husband. In a new place! Also we realized it’s the first time we’ve taken paid vacation in our lives (#adults). I’m so excited to explore Asheville! If you have any recommendations, leave a comment and let me know 🙂

  1. It’s Superbowl Sunday this weekend! Also known as the pre-This is Us show. I’m in the mood for buffalo chicken so I’m going to be making this buffalo chicken recipe and then using that to make this amazing sounding Buffalo Chicken Twist.
  2. I went to a yard sale today. Now, I’m a thrift store person. I hadn’t attended a yard sale since I was eight years old in San Diego where I purchased my first and last fur coat. But everyone in town was talking about this yard sale, so after I dropped my husband off I went to check it out. For four bucks I procured a Rachel Ray cookbook, a hardback Nicholas Sparks novel, and a nice long sweater. Recently I thrifted some bodycon maternity dresses and I have a rather large um… caboose, so I’m looking for sweaters and kimonos that can work through the rest of Winter and Spring.
  3. Currently reading Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth. My favorite quote so far: “Talent is how quickly your skills improve when you invest effort. Achievement is what happens when you take your acquired skills and use them.” I’ll do a mini-review when I’m done.
  4. This week I started listening to The Influencer Podcast, specifically Episode 8 with Angela Lanter. I’m kinda new to podcasts but I was excited when I found this one because I recognized like three whole interviewees!
  5. Our pastor is preaching through the book of Jonah this month, so I’ve decided Jonah will be my book of study this month. I use the Abide method from Risen Motherhood as well as some of the techniques I learned from Jen Wilken in Women of the Word.

Have a great weekend! See y’all Tuesday for Tending List Tuesday.
