A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a great blog called Bex...A Style Diary. Bex is inspiring with her great outfits (on a budget), and her positive attitude. I am linking up with her Thursday Latelies post. She encourages her readers to stop and think about the things that have brought them joy this week. This can be powerful, especially when you've had a rough week. When I started reflecting on my week, only the challenging things came to mind. As I starting finding the good, it just kept coming to me until I had a long list of joyful things. Thanks, Bex.
First:
Crafts make me happy. I picked up these embellishments at JoAnn's for about $2 each and glued them to a headband for me, and a barrette for the baby. We are going to wear them to my brother's wedding this weekend.
Second:
Speaking of the wedding, I wanted to find a gift that was personalized, unique, and affordable. I was not having luck, until I found Fancyprints on Etsy. I ordered the Love Birds in a Tree print. It's perfect!
Third:
Baby's first trip to the zoo!
Fourth:
Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha! After a few hard weeks of weaning, I'm about done. It's been an emotional and physical rollercoaster, but something that's brought me joy is adding a little caffeine back into my life after a two year hiatus.
These are just a few things that have brought me joy. What has brought you joy this week? Check out Bex...A Style Diary. There are more links to other Thursday Latelies.
