Carry Me Through//Links for the weekend

This week started out with a sick dog and a flooding bathroom, but it has ended quite well. My best friend and I babysat my two favorite littles last night. Tomorrow, I'm going to the dog day festival back in my hometown! I'm pretty excited to spend the day with Ryland, my sister, and (hopefully) my husband will come along also! :)

For your weekend, here are a few links I have enjoyed:

I absolutely love this! This woman needs to make a sketchbook out of these for kids to finish! I love her daughter's additions to all her faces. I would buy this for my future littles.

I love this idea for a gift. I'm going to put one together for my dad's birthday at the beginning of Novemeber.

The Green PolkaDot Box. I just recently found this. It's an online grocery shopping site with organic/natural foods for CHEAP! Not having to leave the house to grocery shop and getting cheap organic and natural food sounds like a winner to me! I haven't decided yet if I am going to go ahead and use it or wait until we move into our home so all of the groceries aren't delivered to my apartment.

Speaking of grocery shopping, here is a list of foods for stocking up in your pantry! I am going to have to do that soon.

Have a happy weekend!

P.S. - Here's a picture from last night of my two favorite littles! How sweet are they?

HAPPY (ALMOST) FALL, Y'ALL!

Fall is definitely, by far, my most favorite season. It's just something about the crisp air, crunch leaves, and chill nights that makes me feel complete. I've already had many pumpkin spice lattes (and frappes!), I've set out the fall scented candles, and the husband & I bought our first pumpkin together as a married couple! I am so excited for what fall is going to bring me this year. I want to make the absolute best of it.

On a side note: Joshua and I are moving to a home by or before December, but have not found one yet. Prayers would be greatly appreciated for God to direct us to the right home for us! Thanks so much!

This is the pumpkin that Josh and I picked out the other night! It's a super bumpy pumpkin with the cutest stem! We love it!

{When that storm comes like a hurricance...}

Life lately has been full of highs and lows. It has thrown more stress at me than I ever thought possible. I'm trying to learn how to balance married life and college life. I'm not going to lie, it's been difficult. Last Monday, an issue came up with our landlords. They haven't been the nicest people, and it turns out that basically everyone who rents from them has issues. This issue has caused A LOT of stress for my husband and I, so tons of prayers would be appreciated! Also, my mom was in the hospital this past week. She has leiomyosarcoma (a rare cancer that affects 1 in 6 million women), but she was hospitalized due to a blockage in her intestines from a previous surgery last summer. Prayers for my mom would also be greatly appreciated! God is always faithful, though. He will never gives us more than we can handle. I just need to remind myself of that daily. On the bright side, on Saturday I got to spend some time with the two most precious girls ever. They are like nieces to me. I'm sad that I don't get to see them as often now because I live an hour and a half away, but I am so thankful for all the times when I do get to see them! I hope everyone has a blessed Tuesday, and I will leave you with one of my favorite songs that I know God speaks to me through every time I listen to it.
