*stuff carissa likes.


*first and foremost, my ESV study Bible. {i lied.  i don't just like this.  i love it.  it's my source!}


{sometimes i don't mind a grainy picture once in a while.  or sometimes i'm just too lazy to take another one.}

*rolly poly babyness... this is most assuredly the 512th time i've mentioned her chub, but it's worth it.


*wispy baby hair that's as soft as 100% cotton.


*the queen of hand-me-downs herself has worked her older girl cousins out of their job with her chubby, ultra-wide feet.  leaving her shoeless.  until.  amazon and their timely deal on these pediped's for $16.




*it's true, i eat salsa from the deli counter and guac from a box. and i want to eat it everyday. judge me why dontcha.


*free legos thanks to uncle Andrew's twelve year-old self finally growing out of the duplos.


*zoo trips.  although my child is acting so 13ish already and is completely uncool with taking a picture with his mother in public.  let alone outside of the kangaroo stomping ground.


*blank canvases = endless possibilities. 


*stuff that adheres to blank canvases to create something {hopefully} beautiful.


*pretty things that hang and hold candles.


*late bloomers, blossoming right outside my window.


*my other half.

Baby chub and hair are the best. I almost hope Celia never loses the elephant leg chub on the insides of her knees :). That's a great deal on Pedipeds! I'm off to troll Amazon now.

LeAnna said...

Kelli said...

I love your list! You know our shared love for the ESV so that goes without saying. I love the chub too and those cute feet!!! That picture of you and Kelly is so precious.

Oh how I miss crepe myrtles!
Seeing your zoo trip reminded me of a place we went a couple times Bee City. Your kiddos might enjoy it :)

I totally want that chandelier! I looked for one for months and couldn't find what I was looking for...because you had it:) I can't wait to see what becomes of your blank canvas and mod podge!

Theresa said...

Kerri said...

Awesome list! I have not looked at the ESV - I am going to have to check that one out! I currently have the NIV life application and the NLT for the One Year Bible read.
Happy Friday! :)

Love Sage's little pedipeds! So adorable and pink. Ah...little chubby babies are the best. I *love* when they have those fat rolls in their legs...melt your heart.

Lauren said...

love this post! Such a cute link up!

Stephanie said...

Love that baby chub! I am super curious about your hodgepodge project- I have attempted one and only one hodgepodge project and it was a di.sas.ter! I threw it all away it a fit of frustration- hope yours turns out better than mine :)

Krista said...

I've always been a fan of the chub but I forgot about the hair! Oh yes, we must take time to appreciate the feathery wisps of babes too! I see your still rocking the awesome running shorts at the zoo ;) Gotta love them.

Glad you hubby is back with you.

P.S. you must show is what you create on the canvas!

Emily said...

I love her little chubbiness, so cute!

how sad he already doesn't want to take pictures w/you. I hope he snaps out of it and jumps in every picture w/you w/pride. :)

Crazy Shenanigans-JMO said...

Laura@Cowboy Boots said...

Laura@Cowboy Boots said...

*forgot to add...those chunky baby ankles were the best!

Meg said...

I love the shoes, I mean come on!! Both my babes have chubster feet. Not too bad for a boy but for a girl, boo! I am always thrilled when I find cuties for her chubbies!! ;)

OrangeHeroMama said...

love the pic of you and your man smoochin'! So cute!
You should totally frame that one!

Nikki said...

This is SO sweet! Love the blank canvas. Your running shorts have inspired me to look just as cute when I run:) Need to find myself a pair. Love her chub. Can my Evie have some? Her chicken legs make her head look too big to hold herself up!

Fabulous post. LOVE your new banner up there!

JDaniel4's Mom said...

I love all your pictures. The flowered shoes are so cute. We just started using the same version of the Bible you pictured at our PCA church.

Lovely Little Nest said...

ooooh can't wait to see what you do with the canvas! What room will it go in? I have a blank canvas that's been sitting in our closet for over a year. I just can't decide what to do with it! Any suggestions?

Michele said...

Love the ESV version. Did you know you can get an app on your iPhone that has the entire ESV Bible on it? It's the best! Cute baby shoes, your little girlie is just the sweetest!

Heart n Soul said...

What a beautiful list. Love the roly poly babyness - so sweet :)

Rachel said...

Wholly Guacamole!! - this is a great list! :) {I just couldn't help it....}

Love the ESV. That's the Bible I have. Although mine is a pocket Bible that I carry in my purse, and while I love it someday my eyes won't love that teeny tiny print. But, I love it and have all my verses underlined and notes....

Baby chub is the best. I'm just saying.

I, too, am looking forward to seeing what you create with your blank canvas.

Love your entire list. And thank you for linking up and for gracing my blog with your WONDERFUL pictures. Loved them!

Grateful for you.

Rachel

Love your #1, too. Truly, the source of life and love.

Modge Podge + blank canvas = something amazing waiting to happen. Can't wait to see what you come up with. :)
