My bedside table


We went last week and got iPhone 6's. We had the 4s and so it was time for an upgrade. Plus it had been 3 years since we got new ones. 

So one day after work we headed to the Sprint store and walked out in less than an hour and no money down with new phones.

As with new phones there is a learning curve and getting adjusted period. Somethings have changed and one night I accidentally snapped this picture of my bed side table.
 

I almost deleted it and then I thought about how this little space says so much about me.


First thing I notice is that sticker. Grayson got it on a trip to Walmart and he kept it on the whole day. Well he woke up the next morning with it still on and he wanted it off right that second so there it went on my side table.

Next would be that nice monitor that hums in my ear all night and lets me know when my boy needs me.

Next up is all the books. 
Total Money Makeover- I refer back to this all the time while we are on our debt free journey
The Happiness Journal- I write in this sometimes but not nearly as much as I should
Not A Fan- This book is amazing and one that I read when I need a good does of faith
My Bible- It's just plain good 
My journals that I write in when I need to get my prayers out 
In this House we giggle- I love this book it is working wonders on my heart as a Mama



Then I see my 2 tubes of chap stick Burt's Bees to be exact because it just works the best overnight. The vanilla bean smells like a cupcake!


The bookmark that is made out of my Papa's obituary that I use to help me read or as a bookmark. I had just finished a book and so it was on my table waiting for a new book to go in. 


A random wrapper from the last time Grayson and I were in there folding laundry and he wanted a zebra cake so I let him eat one and watch Peppa Pig while I did some folding.

A Yankee candle (cranberry chutney smells delish), a random target vase and my lotion that I rotate to use before bed at night and the TV changer which is normally on Michael's side but I must have gone to bed after him so threw it on there.


If I was to see this bed side table and it belonged to someone else I could conclude 3 things

1- There are kids here and they rule the roost they are found in every room and leave little memories everywhere.

2- This person is working with the Lord. 

3- They love things that smell pretty.




It's messy, it's all over the place but man it's mine and I love looking at it and my first thought is Grayson. 

That little boy has stolen my heart and I'm so blessed and thankful that the Lord trusted me with him. 

So there it is a post about nothing but my bedside table and a little peak into my world.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
