Five Faves (Vol. 1)

  Visit Moxie Wife for more Five Favorites

1. Baking, baking and more baking! Here is an apple crisp I made for JJ's birthday a few weeks ago. I have also been making a lot of pumpkin stuff, yup I am on the pumpkin bandwagon and loving it!



2. Spending time with my goddaughter on Monday mornings! I would put a picture but I am sure my friend T is not comfortable with that. All I have to say is that she is such a cute 2yr. old who loves to take walks. When we walk by the church she points and says "Jesus" and she always wants to go in and say hi to "baby Jesus" and "mama Mary," be still my heart! 


3. This Smash journal! Hallie had featured it as part of her 5 Faves a couple weeks ago and I ordered it with a gift card I had gotten for my birthday from JoAnn's. Here is my first page of smashing...I love St. Therese! The video is just something that makes you happy and inspires you, ya know?





        



4. These flowers St. Therese gave me through my mom. Our intention for the novena this year was for God to answer our most neediest need and He did. JJ went back to work as of yesterday, her feast day! Thank you Jesus and St. Therese's intercession! 






5. This Physician' Formula mascara has been great to just throw on and give my eyes some pop. I naturally have longer lashes and this has been nice to throw on w/ some concealer, a little shadow and some lip balm then poof I am done. I am not naturally a make-up wearer but I really love this mascara! 



What are some of your faves right now?

  2. Some of my faves right now are days when I don't have to go anywhere (being in the middle of the hormone panel means I am out and about a lot more than usual), the gorgeous weather, and potatoes. Right now I am thanking God for my Irish heritage and love of potatoes (they're not bread, but they might be better).

    1. I am not Irish that I know of, although I like to believe I am, but I love potatoes! When I had to give them up for my candida detox I was so sad. When I could have them again I was soooooo happy!

  7. What a blessing to have your DH find a job! (A guy friend who also went through IF - and a resultant divorce! - told me that, after many years of reflection, he has concluded that men's experience of IF is nothing like women's - but prolonged unemployment for a husband might be something comparable. It's given me something to think about.)

    And - if you were interested in sharing some pumpkin recipes, I'd be all ears over here!

    P.S. I've got a little something you might be interested in on my blog :) - http://justbeinginfertile.blogspot.com/2013/10/craigslist-prosaic-part-4-bedroom.html

    1. That is such an interesting correlation between men and unemployment with women and IF. My DH attitude and overall person slightly changed during this time of unemployment. I will definitely share some recipes, once I write them down or link them in my posts :)
