woo-hoo!!
now that i feel happy and comfy with using the instagram….
i can FINALLY join in with Jeannett for insta-friday.
🙂
letting the little girls choose everything we plant this year….
feeling sassy on my way to ball games….
loving God's word on Monday…especially verse 1!
getting ready to start painting the floor….scared of the brightness….
love.
i signed my three youngest up for swimteam.
i am super excited for them.
enjoying my last quiet, long, hot bath of the school year.
hello summer.
i will miss the quiet but i am ready to chill with my kids.
at the kids' school they have a Clap Up to send off
the 4th graders to Middle school.
i could've cried.
it was totally adorable!
all the girls in annie's class were crying when they
had to say goodbye to their teacher…
cutest tears ever!
softball started.
it's pretty cute too.
everything little girls do is cute isn't it?!
while annie was hitting away i read my book and cried in the car.
(yes…i am still reading it….im only on page 30…but at least i haven't quit!)
(AND…it's so good. i want to move to africa. STAT!)
sean, annie and talby were looking at magazines at home depot.
annie said "this looks just like you and dad…in love and kissing!"
awesome.
then we had a lengthy discussion on modern style verses traditional.
i loved it!
we compared kitchens in magazines and i explained what makes it modern and why.
they were honestly interested.
also awesome.
i guzzled down a venti ice coffee on the way home from our errands.
in minutes.
so yum.
target was a happy place today.
cute swim bag.
cute table cloths.
cute fur real friend polar bear for annie.
cute running shorts
(i don't wear shorts?!!! i am nervous. my little girls were shocked i bought them!)
so now i am linking up with my girl jeannett….
come on over.
elizabeth beesley - I am so curious about the bible devotional too! I sooo need this!
Thanks!!!!!!!
Katie Jones - I am curious on your bible too! Love the devotion part! Which one is it????
Sharla - Love the floors and all of these pics. I got kisses from Katie for my bday and can’t wait to start it!
Jacci - I don’t wear shorts either. And I don’t really know why. I think I just dont like the way they look on my body. I think skirts/dresses/cropped pants are better on me. I haven’t owned a pair of shorts in, seriously, like 4 years.
I’m enjoying your instagram feed 🙂 Fun to have you on there!
Suzanne - yay!! welcome to ig and instafriday!
Cindy - I’d love to know what Bible you are reading from too! Completely inspired by this page from it!
Carrie - 5th grade is middle school? We have 6 th to 8 th as middle here and many schools are k to 6 th as elementary school. Goodness, 5 th raders are still so little!! I teach grades 4 to 6 Autistic aupport and they seem so young to me.
Lisa - FUN Friday. Oh my, I love the floor. LOVE it. We’re tearing up carpet in our bedroom. If the floors are in bad shape, I think I know what to do 🙂 Your post on Kisses from Katie/Seven a couple weeks ago finally tipped the scale for me and I started reading 7. I’m not a reader either and I can’t put it down. It’s messing me up in a very good way. Read it next!
Kari - how funny! i don’t wear shorts either… i told my neighbor it “must be a sign of the apocalypse” when i had them on the other day 🙂
Jenna@CallHerHappy - Ok I need some Whatever advice. How did you get your husband to agree to let you paint the floors?? They are so cute, but my hubs is terrified of painting anything that used to be a tree 🙂

Maria - I will be heading to target later this week…hoping all the cute summer table stuff is out…
I love those floors!
Our baseball season will be over next week sometime…last game today and playoffs/nail biting time next week.
Have a great weekend!
Kelly - We have just started talking about painting our floors. Yours looks awesome but I really don’t think I can get my husband to go for yellow stripes 🙂 It looks so great though!
I’m not a shorts girls either. It gets blasted hot here in Idaho though so I can’t do capris or pants all through July. Last year I declared summer the summer of skirts and grew quite a collection. I’m excited to dig into them again…as soon as it stops raining!
katie - love the floor!!! also, about the book, when i read it i cried EVERY SINGLE PAGE. my husband kept looking at me saying “what is so sad?” and i’d say “it’s not sad AT ALL. it’s super duper amazing and God is sooo good!”
Maria Bryan - THHHHHAAAATTTTT FLLLLOOORRRRRR!!!!! Amazing Job! How do you do the Insta Friday?
Jennifer - Question? Is that a study Bible? Looks like maybe a “daily reading” one. Mind sharing the cover? Looking for a new copy and I’m loving the layout of that one. Thanks!
Pink and Green Mama MaryLea - I bought two ADORABLE table cloths at Target this past week too – turquooise blue with a fun little darker turquiose mosaic looking pattern and a sea glass green and blue striped number — curious if we got the same one! : )
Love the new yellow striped floors.
Have been trying and failing at instagram — will persevere and try to figure it out!
Happy end of the school year.
love,
ML
Heather Crawford - I don’t wear shorts either, but I am so tired of capris…and it is hot as heck here in Georgia..and we’ve got baseball tournys today..three games in the middle of the afternoon..thinking of sucking it up and wearing some…ugggh
melissa - love the floor and saw your little “plug” for the antiques shop in the newest country living! i am coming to kansas.
ko. s - Loving that you are Instagram! It lets me get my “whatever” fix whenever 😉 Have a great weekend!
happygirl - I want to learn how to use Instagram. This was great. 🙂
Lisa - You gotta explain how 5th grade is middle school! I’ve never heard of that. I always thought that started in 6th grade! I’m freaking out cause my oldest is starting MS. I think even 6th grade is too young! 🙂
Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Yay! Welcome to Insta-Friday!
Sara @ Happy Brown House - Oh, Kisses From Katie was so good. And that floor…swoon!
Bailey Jean - Kisses From Katie is an incredible book! It was so encouraging, inspiring, and stirred my heart in so many places. I’m sure it will do the same for you 🙂 And I’m loving the floor! Beautiful!
Kerstie Pederson - LOVE the floor! AWESOME!!!
Terrie G - I’m seriously in LOVE with that messenger bag & that Floor!!
Nice Job!!!
Makes me wish for wood floors!
Great kick-off for summer!
