Currently: August 2016

Is it time for another Currently post? Why the hell is time flying!?!! I guess we just have to go with it, huh?

Currently {August 2016}

Reading:

So, we purchased Harry Potter and the Cursed Child the day it came out. My oldest daughter finished it the next day. I decided I would read it with all the kids, we have “school” on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I thought we’d save one of those days for reading together. That worked well for about 3 days, but they wanted to read on their own. I totally understand. So this is what I’m currently reading on my own, I’m almost done.

You know I always pick up crafty and artsy books…

Here is the next book I’m diving into. I couldn’t help but start it. I must resist, because of Harry and Albus.

Watching:

Can you believe I’m all done with Game of Thrones? I finished it too fast, now I have to wait until next summer like everyone else to view season 7.

Did you see Friday’s post, I shared a BAMFING GoT recap compliments of Samuel L. Jackson.

My family and I were all into the Olympics this year. Did you watch?

Voice fans? Are there any voice fans? I’m excited for the next season of The Voice, I don’t know why I watched that little preview they gave us on Sunday… TEASE.

Listening to:

Currently, I’m listening to my son play a geography game on the iPad. 🙂

BUUUTTT I listened to this TedTalk the other day and you have to listen to it! I know I’m not alone feeling the way I do after reading the comments left on my Riptide post.

Working on:

Being a better blogger and implementing more creative time.

You can’t stifle creativity that shizzz gots to flow, yo! ? We made up for it yesterday and went out and enjoyed the return of beautiful (almost fall-like) weather. ANNND there was Korean food too! ?

Needing:

More time, coffee, money, and maybe a pedicure.

Loving:

Still loving all the pictures from our anniversary! They make me so happy. He makes me so happy. 🙂

Thinking:

Time flies! And as much as I hate how it flies, I cannot wait for the fall. 🙂 Although, I’m not looking forward to schedules and sending off my babes. Yes, I’m that mom.

Feeling:

Feeling like I’m slowly but surely swimming out of this riptide. Thank you to my encouragers!!

Celebrating:

Our one year anniversary of living in Washington. I cannot believe it’s already been one year! Do you remember the craziness it took for us to get here? And thankfully we made it. It’s been quite a ride.

 

Friday I’m in L?VE! (Because it’s Friday… time for Thank You Notes ?) Thank you, life, for showing me that although at times you may seem cold, you are SO sweet! Life is bigger than us, and it’s best served with the ones you love. Life is about big adventure & little ones too. Life is waking up smiling & being grateful where you stand with the ones you love ready for the next brave move or Netflix binge. ? It’s for playing, running, wandering, cuddling, LOVING, creating, hugging, funning, being wild & free!! Go live! Be free!! Love hard! #HighOnLife ? #ThankYouNotes

I love these girls? I hope they will always hold our traditions & culture close to their hearts when I’m long gone. A day like today makes you think about life, love, and beyond. I’m grateful for all the days. Love big, friends! XOXO #LBCmuertos

Grateful for:
