Favorite Things: Vol. IX

Favorite Things· Life

this sums up my week:

Me: what quote should I put on the letter-board this week?

Garrett:

Happy Friday, y’all!

I’m currently in week 2 of grad school to get my Masters in Nursing. I’m currently at the “why did I do this phase”– will continue to monitor and update prn.

We have been talking about learning theories (aka behaviorism and cognitivism) and I legitimately feel like I have no idea what I am talking about, but am doing a decent job into fooling others that I do in fact know lots of things.

Welcome to grad school!

Also this meme had me cackling this week because I 100% relate to it and I’m sure every other nurse can too!

At one point this week in order to escape thoughts of discussion boards and curriculums, I went on a massive haul to Trader Joe’s. I could write a whole post on my fave items at TJ (maybe another day), but I just tried these chicken burgers for the first time this week. I ate these like every day for lunch! I love them on a slice of Dave’s Killer Bread, with some Boar’s Head chipotle mayo, and sliced avo <3 Highly recommend!

Lastly, let me share one of the weirdest things I have ever requested.

My brother is super computer-savvy. He codes, designs games, etc. He’s also pretty decent at Photoshop.

A couple weeks ago, at 2 am in the morning, I was scrolling through Etsy when I saw these postings for people to have their dog photo-shopped into a famous painting. Because I am obsessed with dogs and it was also 2 am, I was tears and could not contain my laughter for about 30 minutes. I immediately texted my brother to Photoshop my dog, Lola onto the head of a painting, and this week, he finally completed his commission.

It’s basically my pride and joy, and if you don’t think I wont get it framed and hang it in my home, then you don’t know me.

Have a fantastic weekend my friends!

Letting go of my own aesthetic to make my toddler’ Letting go of my own aesthetic to make my toddler’s bathroom more colorful and fun.

Raising the shower curtain rod and sewing 2 inexpensive ikea shower curtains together definitely brought some color and funkiness into the space. And changing out the light fixture and framing off the builder grade mirror were such inexpensive upgrades that made a big difference! 
Also so happy with the fun wall art and affirmations to make getting ready in here a bit more fun! It’s a kid’s bathroom! Let it be colorful 🥰 #toddlermom #whimsy #kidsbathroom

When I became a mom, I was unprepared for the fier When I became a mom, I was unprepared for the fierce love and protectiveness I was overcome with. It was (and still is) terrifying having my heart exist outside of my body and trusting it to the world. 
Motherhood is the greatest gift and hardest job I’ve ever had. Being both a ‘forever mom’ and a foster mom has formed me into a stronger, more passionate, more empathetic, and creative version of myself. My life and work before kids felt important and meaningful, but raising kind, caring kids to impact their future communities and world feels like my most important purpose yet ❤️

This is so much more fun for my toddler to play with and we say that Mack the fairy comes out here to play with his friends 🥰 #toddlermom #whimsy #whimsicalchildhood #fairygarden #positivemotherhood
