Joy

This week’s joy

A fun activity to do with someone you love in lieu of Valentine’s Day.

Framing special moments. I soooo want to do this.

Martha Stewart and Avery partnership. Easy, cute labels to use for when I buy my ‘thank you’ stamp!

This brought me joy, because the same thing TOTALLY happened to me, except with a chocolate birthday cake for my sister-in-law.

My gummy vitamins. It’s like eating candy for my health.

The new Paper Source catalog. Might copy this for hand-made Valentine’s Day cards ;)

My hike with Sara, watching the LSU vs. Alabama game with Megan, walking the canal with Melissa and coffee talk with Jen. I <3 dates with my friends!

Rockstar Diaries. An adorable new blog I found.

Realizing that Underworld Awakening comes out next Friday!

Gus. This is my all-time favorite basset hound in the whole wide world and he spent the weekend with us.

As always, feel free to share what brought you joy last week!

Lately

I can’t believe it’s already mid January! Time flies when you’re having fun. Lately I’ve been living up to my 2012 aspirations. I’m super proud. Instead of dancing in my car, I’m using that time to talk to God. It’s rather freeing.

Working out 5 days a week is a great feeling. I’m using our erase board calendar as my Fitness Calendar!

Finding peace each day has been more of a challenge. It’s somewhere between eating Cheez-its on my couch, watching old episodes of Friends or climbing into bed at night with Harry Potter. The little things, right!?

And most of all, I think I’m already more thoughtful. I’ve already purchased one of my Valentine’s Day surprises for Rob and am also getting ahead on some special 30th birthday gifts for my cousins.

Trust me, you won’t be getting this kind of update every week, but I’m excited at my start to the year and hope this momentum lasts!

In other updates, there’s been a lot of coffee on the run in plastic cups.

I’ve also been thinking about getting a new pair of eye glasses and a new hairstyle, maybe something like this.

Hope your 2012 is off to a good start, too!

‘Joy’ moments

I’m going to start something new on my blog. Seeing that my theme is to ‘cher joy’, I’m going to reflect on my week and post what brought me joy, in hopes that it might bring you some, too!

Here we go:

This post from The Littlest.

The Pioneer Woman‘s second cookbook is out!

Wouldn’t it be fun to go beach sledding?

Tom’s is releasing ballet flats.I should start saving now.

A wedding using vintage furniture. Gorgeous!

Ballet fusion. It’s incredible. Makes me want to twirl my hair up in a bun and wear black leggings.

A blog book to jot down blogging ideas. Brilliant.

Vampires Diaries started up again.

Friends with Benefits. I actually really liked it!

A Valentine’s Day surprise I might just try.

My new skirt (but in a vibrant blue).
