Magical Monday

Magical Monday

So my “weekly” post idea didn’t work too well. Oh well, getting back on the saddle

  • I’ve been enjoying a lot of Netflix lately. Trying to escape current yucky, cold weather? Perhaps. Bridgerton and The Crown are my recent binges. I started Firefly Lane yesterday and I’m loving it so far!
  • My Happy Planner from Me and My Big Ideas makes me so happy each week. I use Apple calendars to sync all my devices together and set alerts but there’s just something about writing things down each week that helps me stay on track.
  • Coffee! I’m a Keurig fan – I know that’s controversial but the Keurig is easy and quick. I can’t start my day without it and usually have a cup in the afternoon to fight off that 2:00pm slump. Do you have a favorite K-Cup that you enjoy?
  • Trip Planning! My husband and I have started planning our next trip to Walt Disney World and I can’t wait! For me, one of the best parts of a trip is the planning – what parks will we visit, where will we stay and most important, where will we eat?!

Each Monday I want share with y’all things that are adding some magic to my life. It could be an app, a Target find, a book, a podcast, etc. Maybe you’ll find something that will add some magic to your life as well. 🙂

– My Bottled Joy water bottle. I love this thing! This was an Amazon find recommended by my sister in law. Each morning, I can fill this cute guy up and watch as my water intake goes up during the day. On days that I finish the whole thing, I’ve met my goal. This bottle is durable and easy to take care of. They come in different sizes and colors!

The Cursebreakers Series by Brigid Kemmerer. Technically I started this series back in November but the final book in the trilogy came out last week. Guys, it’s so good! It’s a retelling of Beauty and the Beast but it goes further than that. What happens after they find their Happily Ever After? And how and why did the curse happen in the first place? So good!!

Book of the Month I’ve talked here on the blog before about this great subscription service but I’m still loving it! When the world shut down last March, reading became my escape. I read so many books last year and continue to read at a pretty fast rate. With BOTM I get to choose the book I want each month – they’re all great options and a great deal at $14.99. If I want more books, I can get those for $9.99 each. Seriously a great deal for a hardback new release! If I don’t like the options that month, I can skip, no big deal. When I don’t feel super comfortable getting out in public to shop, I love knowing a great, new book is heading my way each month.

“So Will I” This song!! I’m so in love with it right now and it’s on repeat as I get ready in the mornings and I’m sure my family is sick of me humming it constantly. 😉 I love when God puts a song in our lives at just the right time.

Is there anything that’s making your day magical right now? Let me know in the comments!

Happy October!

Happy October!

One of my favorite spots in my house – a seasonal decor item, a favorite quote, Alexa playing music and some wax melts making the house smell good.

I love the start of a new month, don’t you? It feels like a chance to start over again – set new goals, try old goals again, make plans, and look forward. October is one of my favorite months! The weather is usually pretty great here in Alabama – if we’re lucky we’ll have cool mornings and warm afternoons. The leaves are changing and I have a great excuse to turn on the fireplace and snuggle with my blanket, puppies and a good book.

Wishing you a happy October!
