Currently - April

Linking up with Anne over at In Residence for the monthly currently link up today...

showering: myself in caffeine!  I knew this busy season was coming up on us but man, I feel like I am running in circles.  Between the girls doing different activities on different days with dance, gymnastics, tball, soccer, and church, we have something going on just about every single day.  I love that my girls enjoy being involved in things but I believe we are going to have to pick and choose our favorites and try to do a little less next year.  Not to mention, Jarrod and I have new Disciple Life groups at church and I am training for a few races and attending some circuit training classes that I LOVE as well!  Praise the Lord for Spark and Coffee!!

cultivating:  our porches.  We have a big front porch and a huge back patio that I am just dying to get ready for spring and summer.  I've tried to hold off to make sure the weather is actually going to stay warm but I see lots of ferns, potted flowers, and new porch decor in the near future!

expecting: to finally make some progress physically.  I have been so yoyo on my health and fitness in the past several months (or year) but I have been working super hard trying to eat right and exercise more and I am expecting to really start seeing some results from all my hard work.  I splurged at the beach a couple of weeks ago and ate all the food but I have been back on track with a new Advocare 24 Day Challange round and really focused lately.  I feel better and can tell a difference in my strength and endurance for sure.  I try not to really weigh much or even take measurements but I can feel the change a coming!

making: changes.  Like I just said, I have really made some changes to my diet and exercise but I have also worked on making some changes to my routines and habits.  April always seems like a "fresh" month for me so I did some spring cleaning on our budget and spending habits as well as working on some new daily routines to try to stay on top of it all and not feel like I am drowning so much in my "to do's".

buying: stuff from Aldi!  I have dabbled in Aldi on and off but for the past few weeks I have really focused my grocery shopping there. They have soooooo many healthy options for the BEST prices.  Plus I secretly love bagging my own groceries.  If you have an Aldi close by, I highly recommend giving it a try.  It took me several visits before I was really comfortable with it but it is now my go to grocery store!
