HAPPY FRIDAY!
As you are reading this, I am flying down to California to surprise some of my favorite little kids at Disneyland. Tough life.
ONE // DUTCH BROS
Okay so I used to HATE Dutch Bros. Like… I rolled my eyes whenever someone said their name and I kind of maybe hardcore judged people who were ultra loyal to them. EXCEPT… there’s one right down the street from me and suddenly, almost completely out of nowhere, I have become ALL ABOUT DUTCH BROS.
Iced soy cocomo? Yes please. and just so we can be completely honest here… I definitely drove through the other day, barefoot and in my pajamas. I’m one of those people now.
TWO // I LIKEÂ POPCORN
The other day I saw someone tweet about Pop Works offering a free sample. I jumped on that, but before I was even able to retweet it… they were out of samples! It was the funnest, cutest little bag of popcorn I’ve ever received in my life.
ps this made me think of a video I once made with a (no longer) little girl I used to babysit. Dang I’ve lost a lot more weight than I realize…
THREE // MIRRORS
So the other day I got this brilliant idea. I wanted a mirror in my bedroom, because that’s where all of the natural light is and how much better would it be to put my makeup on in NATURAL LIGHT! I started looking up mirrors on Pinterest and now I literally have no idea what kind of mirror I want. I went to Home Goods and was completely overwhelmed. I’m not good at big decisions.
HELP!
FOUR // CAMP!
Earlier this week I was able to sneak in some time at camp. My little birthday buddy, Hannah, is 1.5ish years old. I slept on the couch, and when I woke up and said “Hannahhhhhh,” she ran over to me and climbed on top of me. I’m so glad I get to hug her and love her and know her. and today I’m going to surprise her at Disneyland AHHH! We walked around with Ellen, who I let take my DSLR around because she wants to be a photographer, like me. Her words, not mine. haha. All the proud tears.
FIVE // CHURCH LAST SUNDAY
You guys.
My job is awesome, seriously.
Last Sunday as I was leaving to go pick kids up, Lucia came in. She was wearing sweatpants, rain boots, a skirt, a dress and a sweater… all hot pink. Loved it. Then Sammie got on the bus… wearing all pink. and then Oliviah got on the bus… all pink. Then the granddaughter of a lady at our church came for the first time… wearing lots of pink. So I rounded them up for a picture and made sure the 4 of them helped collect the offering, haha.
But before offering.. I stood up to sing, and looked down… and Julia had gone ahead and made herself ultra cozy on the pew. I was cracking up. SERIOUSLY. My job.
Well that’s just a bunch of random stuff that’s been going on in my life the past few days. One of these days I’m going to catch up on the comments y’all have left on my blog, okay? Promise. <3
Have the very best weekend in the whole entire world!
I love that song! how adorable- you should record it on a childrens tape full of kids song, how fun would that be?! 🙂 Have fun at Disneyland! We should hang again soon. 😉
haha i’ve thought of that before, making a kids cd just for the kids i love <3
and i agree! i'll be out of town this weekend and having to work lots of days in a row to make up for that. so in a couple of weeks that should die down.
Lighting is the WORST!! Seriously, I’m not sure if I have any natural light in my apartment. Or else I really do look like that all the time….hmmm…..lol
the blogger lighting struggle is so freaking real lol. its one of those things that bloggers care about probably more than the rest of the world (EXCEPT PHOTOGRAPHERS, like actual legit ones haha)
oh my goodness that teeny tiny photographer is the cutest thing I’ve seen all week! also I don’t really wear makeup but I feel you on that natural light struggle, I’m still using one of those $5 full length mirrors I got from Target in college though..
oh gosh! i have one of those mirrors! i just don’t have anywhere to keep it so it’s behind my door and when i need to use it i shut the door and pull it out. my room is pretty small.
&& isn’t ellen the freaking CUTEST!? i love her! i wish i knew more about photography so i could teach her lol
I am on such a coffee kick right now, I’ve been drinking like crazy. I like Dutch Bro’s encouragement of getting more coffee.
I would love a full length three way mirror in our room just so that we can see how we look from head to toe. Unfortunately our room just isn’t situated right now to accomodate one. Something like this three way mirror.
I love the photo of all of the children coordinating pink 🙂
liz @ j for joiner
omg that 3-way mirror is absolutely brilliant! i really wish i had the space for something like that!
dutch bros is so encouraging! and the people are so freaking nice, too! i love it.
I keep craving Dutch Bros even though only like two out of the eight or something drinks I’ve had there have been that good! I’ve been considering trying a Cocomo…now I think it’ll be my next try since you sang its praises!
I love popcorn so much. Like a weird amount. I need birthday cake popcorn in my life. HAVE THE BEST TIME EVER AT DISNEYLAND! And we should get coffee or hang out soon. I’ll text you when I know you’re back in the PNW!
YAY!!! the weather has been so freaking nice, let’s go outside or something!!! what have you tried? i wish the cocomo was more coconutty- there are other coconut mochas that are so much better, but you know… good price, convenient, rewards & nice people. worth it for me.
and i freaking love popcorn, too! we should make our own popcorn, like with flavors and stuff!
It has been so so so nice!!! I’ve tried the caramelizer, the white mocha, one of the ones with Irish creme (and I don’t like Irish creme so that was dumb), and now I did try the cocomo! I did like it, and I have liked the other ones (that didn’t include Irish creme) but some are just made better than others I think. I don’t know.
YES we totally should!
That popcorn looks so fun!
it was so fun to eat for sure ;D
SO GLAD you appreciate and love Dutch Bros now! I’ve never been so proud!
i tried to get you a sticker today but they didn’t have any!
That photo of the budding little photographer is precious! Have an amazing weekend! 🙂
right?! she’s the cutest!!!! <3
