Is whole milk good? My mom likes it in tea but I have never had it in my adult life.
ohmygosh. It’s so creamy and good. You have to try it.
It is absolutely the best. I would drink it every meal if not for the extra fat. Love it!!
Lately I’ve taken to drinking whole milk in my coffee at work. I usually take soy in my coffee, but my work only has skim or whole milk. Skim doesn’t do it for me. Whole milk, on the other hand, makes it taste luxurious.
I grew up on whole milk, but made the switch to 2% (and sometimes 1%) as an adult. Can’t drink whole now–feels like I might as well be drinking condensed milk it’s so thick!
You make me smile!
Your spirit always inspires me to pick up my bottom lip and choose to be a strong woman and enjoy the wonderful gifts my life has given me.
ditto to what kelly said.
get it.
get it!
Love you! 100 degree weather days make me smile too!!
Yay! That makes me so happy…everyone thinks I’m crazy, but I LOVE it.

This post made me smile
. I totally love the way vacuumed carpet looks too! And I hate it when it gets messed up haha.
I try to hold off walking on them for five minutes or so, just to enjoy it. Hah.
I love the simplicity of your posts and how so much is captured through a few photos and words. Love it.
I adore turquoise and messy hair as well…ah, summer!
Loving that Eric Church song. Coincidentally put it in my post this morning too!
P.S. – Freshly vacuumed carpet rocks.
I loveeee turquoise.. Have a great Friday with your baby girl, friend.
Oooh! Turquoise is great! I love rings with turquoise stones in them and pendants that are turquoise. Reminds me of my grandma and is pretty hip too.
Loved your list! Today I’m appreciating a home client who canceled with means extra time with coffee at home – and I should pull my Bible out too. Thanks for the reminder. 
I think it’s actually impossible not to be happy when you see turquoise- it reminds me of the Mediterranean.
And yes to those quiet hours…I need to get those back!
It really is the simple things in life

Nailed it.
You forgot pictures of my butt in your inbox.

I love, love, love quiet morning hours. Smile.

P.S. Amen to the carpet thing! It makes me way too happy.
I don’t have a kid, so the closest to smudgy hand prints are my dog’s nose prints on windows
I have to agree with you on all terms!
you make me smile! and i cannot KB with rings on. it makes me feel weird.
Infrequent lurker, first time commenter (I think?) Anyway yes to SPRINGSTEEN! It’s my summer 2012 Jam. I especially love the line “like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night.” I plan to listen to it as much as possible on the remaining Saturday nights this July
