    Friday Favorites | Vol. 3

    Happy St. Patty’s Day! Do you usually celebrate today? I don’t think I ever have before. Today I decided to pick back up and share a Friday Favorites post. I was planning on writing one last week but didn’t have such a great week and decided to do a Friday Introductions post instead and share a little bit about myself. Check that out here if you missed it! 🙂 (oh P.S. I, for some strange reason, decided to wake up at 4:30 am when my husband got up, after going to bed at 1 am, and am attempting to function like a normal human being, so please forgive me for any errors that may result because of this. 😉 )

    Friday Favorites!

    I started working on a baby girl blanket for my Etsy shop and am loving how it’s turning out! I wish crocheting wasn’t so time-consuming sometimes so that I can open my shop up sooner! For those of you who don’t know, I’m planning on opening an Etsy shop sometime within the next couple of months. I plan to sell blankets, home decor, and baby items. I’m very excited, but I never would have imagined how much work it is!

    I revamped my site, along with my Facebook page, and am absolutely loving how it came out! I feel like this layout is much more pulled together and clean, and I feel like it better represents my blog and who I am. What’d you think? Also, I’d love to hear your suggestions for essential plugins. I’m always looking to learn more and I’m finding that the best way to do that is with friends. 🙂

    Ever since I wrote and shared Facing My Biggest Fear, I have had such a different outlook on life. That sounds so cliché I know, but after I was able to stop worrying about my health, I just felt so much more alive. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10. The closer I walk with God the more this becomes real to me. Every time I lay a struggle down at Jesus’s feet and allow him to heal me of it, I am amazed at how differently I view my life. It’s never easy but it’s always worth it.

    I put out all of our Spring decor this week (even though there’s so. much. snow. outside), and I’m just loving the refresh it gave our little apartment. I’m loving even more that 90% of it is from our wedding decor and it reminds me of when we just got married. We’re planning on moving out when our lease is up next month and I am just not ready to say goodbye to our first apartment together. 🙁

    I’m only very new to learning about essential oils and all of the health benefits to them but I, of course had to add them to my Friday Favorites. This blend in particular is my absolute fav. I unfortunately am waiting on more lemon and lavender (because they are both so low), and have not been able to diffuse this in a while, but I’m really missing it. Do you use essential oils? What are your favorites? I’d really love to know!
