I'm in it.
The fateful blogging rut.
I've been obsessed with blogging,
and still am, but am kind of in a
rut: a routine or pattern of behavior or activity that has become dull but is hard to change.
Maybe it's because my life has been pretty uneventful lately. Nothing too exciting to look forward to either. Just enjoying the day to day life...and there's nothing wrong with that...but that makes for a boring blog.
Not much to share, but here's the latest going on in my world.
I taught my YW (church youth group) last week and one of the snippets I shared was how they need to
"bloom where you are planted,"
enjoy the season of life they are in and make the most of it.
I know, easier said than done!
I remember when I was 19, I just wanted to be married.
Then when I got married, all I wanted was a baby.
Then when I got a baby, I wanted another.
I got that other baby (for a short time) and remember thinking all of my responsibilities were somewhat overwhelming, and maybe it would be nice to be 18 and single again! HA!
Why is it so hard to enjoy the phase we are living in!?
One thing for sure that's inevitable is change.
Make the most of where you are NOW!
I had this cute cross stitching my adorable friend Nancy made for me...and then made these flower pots from suckers for each of the girls. They were really easy to make, and it was fun.
I've been doing some major outlet shopping and finding
FABULOUS
deals. We have 110 outlets here, kind of similar to Park City...and in the winter no one comes to Missouri so the SALES are BIG and the merchandise is available!!!!!
MY PARADISE!
I got all these adorable baby girl shoes for my lil sis who just had her first girl.
Aren't they to die for!!
All 75% off.
Lastly, just been lovin' up on my BOY.He is the light of my world! He melts my heart everyday!
I love it when he says he
"can't wait to marry me!"
He's everything worth living for...even the boring days!

Okay I'm totally stealing your flower/sucker idea. The shoes are adorable. Target???
Your handouts are awesome love them! And the shoes are adorable~~!Target right my lauren has the brown and pink ones they are all so cute! I wish we had good outlets or even shopping here oh well probably a good thing for me haha!
Idea for a blog have you done the 25 random things one yet that is going on? or next week try for valentines day {week} I think I'm going to do everyday the things I love from the random to the obvious! Ideas ? I feel the rut sometimes too! Especially after you just did such fun things last month life eh we are never satisfied where we are sometimes just like you say but we learn a lot from each stage of life!
You are blooming a bright spot in our lives thats for sure! and You teach all of us more then you know! Thank you!! Have a great weekend! ttys
No wonder you are always finding such great deals. Maybe I need to come visit you and go shopping :) Cute handouts!
I need to be your sister for a while so I can get in on all the great deals. Will you adopt me?
Also, way cute stuff. I love the little cross stitch the best. Way cute.
I'm in a blog rut too. And it's so bad that I don't even care. Now that's bad.
You are so creative!! Was that YW lesson #5? If yes, I wish I would have chatted with you before I taught it.
I know how you feel about the blog rut!! But the pics of Tanner are always good for a laugh! I love that kid!
Jill, I tried to leave a comment yesterday but it would not post. So anyway all I said was I love these ideas. Your hand out is darling -- I'm using that the next chance I get. I love the motto/thought "Bloom where you are planted" Some of us learn the hard way on that. I know I've had a few of those in my lifetime. I'm still trying.
Those shoes are so freaking cute. I just barely found a pair of shoes for Kinlee this weekend (in the states of course) after months of looking. And I only found one. You hit the jackpot on all those adorable girl shoes. Your sis is lucky to get them.
Well enjoy that little angel son of yours and thanks again for all the good email chats! You're awesome and you help me more than you know. Have an awesome week.
Super cute handouts, Jill! I wish I had half of your creativity! And the shoes... wow! What a deal! :) I love a great deal!
What a cute lesson idea! You're so cute!
I bet your YW LOVE your handouts--sooo cute!! Lucky you to have such fabulous shopping around--awesome!! Seriously, I don't have much more than a Wal-mart...so I would be in HEAVEN!!! =)
I'm in a blogging rut as well. i'm so behind & it's making it hard to do it because I feel so behind.
so of course, i'm checking other people's blogs instead of doing my own. =)
