This has been a pretty awesome week. I’ve had some amazing opportunities come my way and I’m feeling blessed to say the least. Friends, can I share some top secret news with you all?
I hope you nodded yes, with excitement! 🙂
BECAUSE…
Your girl received an invite to attend a super grand HGTV event…***Insert Happy dance! Lemme tell you, when I received the notice, there were quite a few emotions attached. Like, yooooo! I recall watching the Dream Home series on television. I also recall thinking to myself…man, I’d love to be there. Now, fast forward a few years + I’m on the list of attendees. Pretty dope, right?
Needless to say, HAPPINESS, EXCITEMENT, and THANKFULNESS were amongst those emotions. AND, it just so happens that those very emotions tie into a recent challenge that’s surfaced amongst us Blogger Babes. The Challenge is for us to dish on our favorite emotions. Check out what my booskie Ms. Renee had to say on the topic. I love participating in fun challenges like this… Soooooooo, without further ado… here are my 15 Favorite Emotions!
- Morning Cafe-ing + dates with the MR.
- BEING A MOM! Man, this feeling is unmatched to anything else I’ve ever experienced
- QUALITY FAMILY TIME… Priceless
- Waking to the aroma of “Breakfast by Hubs”
- Music + Podcasts! Totally hooked
- Reading the Bible, resting in Gods Promises, + walking in my purpose
- Barnes + Noble on Saturday afternoons = BOOKS, STARBUCKS + CHEESECAKE FACTORY delights… yes, please!
- Fresh HYDRANGEAS
- BEING ME! The best feeling in the world is knowing + loving who you are.
- Helping + inspiring others… I get great gratification from doing community service on the weekends… it’s so fulfilling

Cicely! Hey girl, hey 🙂
No ma’am. I was in Sasebo for a few years to support my husband’s career. I did work in a classroom setting for a bit while I was there, but it was in Childcare, lol! I know, they get me every time. I love their books but I don’t always buy. I pre-game + buy on Amazon, the books are almost always cheaper that way. They don’t price match so they can’t get my dollars. It was great seeing how much more we have in common as well. I love me some saturday mornings as well, and phone and conversing with my mom in the morning. Thanks for tagging me in the Challenge. It was so much fun.
