a few posts or articles I stumbled upon this week that I enjoyed reading…

15 genius tips for living in small spaces: This has been on my mind A LOT lately with this little lady’s birthday fast approaching. I love our apartment and we have been living in this complex for the entirety of our almost 2 year married life. We even lived in separate apartments at the same complex while we were engaged – so we have literally tested out each floor plan our landlord has to offer…but I am craving more space. I look around sometimes and feel so ungrateful because all I can think about is how the heck are we going to fit another tiny human (with a ton of STUFF) in here??? These tips were a good read and put a few things into perspective for me. Also, reminding myself to simplify, simplify, simplify.

This delicious looking recipe is probably going to end up on our meal rotation next week. Eric gifted me with the Dinner a Love Story cookbook this year for Christmas and I haven’t really put it down yet – in the kitchen or outside of the kitchen. I would definitely say it is my favorite food blog by far and that most of my meal inspiration comes from them and their family’s dinner philosophy.

Priorities, productivity, parenting. This post has been on my mind a lot this week. While I am not a stay at home mom and I have yet to even push out our first born… I have had both priorities and productivity on the brain. In my classroom, at home, in my vocation, in where I am going in this little life. Sometimes I really want my head to just stop and that my brain had an off switch. Thinking can be the most bothersome sometimes.

And links I wish I had…cute maternity dresses. Currently searching for a couple for upcoming showers so that I feel at least a wee bit cute! Just having a hard time finding something at the moment.

Happy Wednesday!
