Making: A mental list of all the things I need to do this week (fyi: it's a long one) 
Cooking: Lately, a whole slew of new recipes! Today's adventure? Cream Cheese Wontons (get the recipe here ==> recipe) 
Drinking: I recently finished off an entire 2 liter of Shasta Tiki Punch. Alone. Because, why not?
Reading: I'm ashamed to say, I have yet to finish The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan...
Wanting: Adventure!
Looking: and feeling great. It's amazing what a new tube of mascara can do for a girl! haha
Playing: the piano. Just kidding. I wish I could play the piano... instead I play stupid Facebook hidden object crime scene games online
Wasting: sleep time. As usual.
Wishing: that Cedar would just stop with the wind already!
Enjoying: every single moment with my sweet baby. She grows too fast
Waiting: until tomorrow when I turn a quarter of a century old (25). Happy birthday to me!
Liking: modern medicine and that it is making my hubby feel like his old self again without all the aches and pains
Wondering: When my nail polish will start to chip. I hope it lasts a few more days
Loving: the happiness in our home
Hoping: it lasts forever ^^^
Marveling: at just how exactly oil popped up a whole 2 feet from the stove onto the mirror hanging on the wall behind it... freakin' wontons.
Needing: some sort of treat. Chocolate? 
Smelling: the sweet smell of laundry detergent. Ahhhh breathe it all in!
Wearing: Layers! White downeast undershirt, green burnout tee, starry chambray sleeveless top with white bermuda shorts and beaded flower t-strap sandals.
Following: the FIFA World Cup 2014. All thanks to my hubby (who I found out likes soccer... who knew?) and my brother and sister-in-law, Kaela and Jeremy, who invite us to watch it at their house. Uhm... a tie with Portugal? Come on! GO, USA!!
Noticing: How slippery our kitchen floor is from the wonton adventure! Swiffer mop, you're all mine... tomorrow.
Knowing: that tonight I probably hit the 9,485,735,635,275th time for watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Don't judge
Thinking: about a million things. Hello. I'm a woman and a mother and a wife. My brain doesn't shut off.
Feeling: extremely blessed ♥
Bookmarking: recipes and date night ideas
Opening: my fridge. Even though I just ate. I love food. Thanks.
Giggling: over the insanely cute giggles Miss Aurora makes

I should be sleeping. It's 4:10am. Buuuut... Aurora woke up to eat a little 3am snack and, so, here I sit.

I got distracted with some blog-stalking on my phone while feeding her and found this fun post from The Day Book and decided to join in on my own.

Plus, also, add in some photos from our day yesterday. We had a beautiful Sunday filled with church meetings complete with messages I know were meant for me specifically; an afternoon of marathon-Dominos-playing (Mexican Train style) with Dan's family and a little bit of book reading with two beautiful girlies sitting on my lap (Aurora and Harlie); an evening of seminary graduation for my sister Collette (still can't believe she's almost done with high school!); and a fun night full of giggles with my two favorites, Dan and Aurora.

Making: a memory in blog form with this quicky-spur-of-the-moment-late-night-feeding post
Cooking: nothing. Sadly. I'm hungry...
Drinking: water water water
Reading: The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. Young Adult Fiction is always, always the best!
Wanting: a trip to the swimming pool this week
Looking: at a computer screen when I should be sleeping
Playing: 2048. Completely addicting
Wasting: sleep
Wishing: for a pre-summer, summer vacation
Enjoying: my family
Waiting: for morning to come ONLY so that I can start a load of laundry. I'd do it now but our neighbor upstairs doesn't really appreciate our washer running all night... how rude of her. Late nights/middle of the nights are my get-crap-done time haha
Liking: the silly antics of my hubby and the way he makes me laugh ♥ 
Wondering: when we should start our garden
Loving: that Aurora now blows spit bubbles/buzzes her lips together. It's, basically, the cutest thing ever
Hoping: we all get to sleep in 
Marveling: at all the wonderful things & people I'm surrounded by
Needing: a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe
Smelling: absolutely nothing.
Wearing: black leggings. I need more of these things!
Following: my late night decisions
Noticing: that the ants who still live in my kitchen, never seem to sleep... or leave my house...
Knowing: that I'm in charge of my own happiness
Thinking: about what adventures will be had tomorrow. Dan's got a day off work!
Feeling: peaceful
Bookmarking: 30 day work out challenges (one day I'll get around to finishing the one I'm currently on haha) and DIY home decor ideas
Opening: my fridge. Always with the same results of nothing good inside. Sad.
Giggling: when I hear Aurora laugh. It is dang cute! You can't help but laugh with her!
