combating terrible tuesdays. or, finding joy in the little things.

since historically tuesdays are my least favorite day of the week (i often call it tuesday iLoseday...) i thought i would take this opportunity to take a few minutes to find joy in the normal, everyday blessings. so i posted a few things to start with a while back, so i am going to add a few things to that list today. 

• going through old photo albums (specifically of the college variety)
• introducing friends to your favorite neighborhood spots
• catching up with friends after long periods of not seeing each other
• a good nights sleep
• all things glitter/shiny
• summer months - i am appreciating them very much right now during the snowstorm saturn...
• unexpected but welcomed and positive distractions
• early morning smiles [mc]

high five for friday!

thanks to the inspiration from mags, i'm going to kick this blog back off today with "high five for friday". linking up for the first time with lauren for h54f!   

1. getting pictures this week of my favorite "niece and nephew", olivia and owen! always brightens a day.

2. found this great gem, and i think it applies to my life in so many ways. don't let otheres get me down, and the obviously love for all things sparkly.

3. so incredibly excited for this girls visit this weekend. bestie time. the best part about it is that she is bringing her college photo album so we can laugh our butts off at our college freshman selves!

4. hanging out with this guy this week. i have missed him so! we had a date day adventure and explored new areas that we have never been in chicagoland (evanston and andersonville).

5. an outfit of the day instagram - spring inspired style! i got a lot of compliments at work and that was definitely a good feeling.

hopefully you will start seeing more consistent posts on this little ole' blog of mine!
