Five Things Bringing Me Joy


Happy Friday! We have a low key weekend ahead of us and I am excited about it. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we can get outside and play!

Changing up my Friday Favorites this week and sharing what is is currently bringing me joy.

O N E | Organizing all. the. things. - I have been on a kick of trying to simplify and get rid of. I have almost hit every room in our house. Yesterday I did the bonus room and the storage closet in there. Two trash bags full and about 3 bags to donate and I'm back being organized. I am also going to create a little work space for me up there. I got a small desk and plan to give myself a little bit of an "office".

T W O | Hearing the laughter from the boys coming from the other room. They may be wild and crazy but they love to play together and are always making up silly games, most of which make me hold my breath that one of them doesn't knock the other out! But that laughter brings me such joy.

T H R E E | I.G. Stories - If you follow me on IG you know that I recently upped my stories game. I had been super nervous to talk on stories/share things other than photos and with the encouragement of a lot of my favorite blogger friends and real life friends I did it. And it has been so much fun! I love all the sweet messages people keep sending me saying that they are enjoying it too. So, fear over come!

F O U R | Get aways with Patrick. I blogged about our trip to Savannah yesterday. Getting away with him no matter where we go always brings me such joy!

F I V E | Getting up and getting a workout in. I am not a morning person but I have tried hard a few mornings a week to get up and ride my peloton bike before anyone is up. It's so nice to be done for the day by 6:30. It truly brings me joy and starts off my day on the right foot!

  2. I should put organizing and purging on my list every week. I’m not buying anything, but I’ve been decluttering like crazy; feels amazing!

    Your trip sounds great! It’s on our bucket list too.

  3. I'm with you on organizing! With our impending move, organizing and decluttering has been bringing me SUCH joy. That's amazing! Also, isn't it just the sweetest when you hear your little boys playing and chatting? Mine are just starting to really do so, and it fills me with such happiness!

  5. I've been trying to do better with my IG stories, too. I feel like SUCH an idiot talking in them, though. Haha. I always cringe when I hear my own voice.

  11. I have loved your IG stories. So happy you stepped out of your comfort zone friend. It has been super hard for me to sit back and watch everyone doing all the simplifying and I am just twiddling my thumbs. I really want to dive in, but I can't until the house is done. Soon...
