Hi everyone! We are still working our way through the flu with the Hubs and Hunter being sick this week. Luckily Jackson and I are finally on the mend. I'm looking forward to putting this behind us with some healthier days ahead. It's been a long three weeks in survival mode over here. We've also been home from school for snow two days this week!
The good news is Jackson made it back to school for Valentine's Day, but this time Hunter had to miss because of a fever.
Hunter spent a lot of time hanging out with me this week slowly getting better, although this flu seems to last 7 days for us, even with the flu vaccine.
Hunter and I had to miss the Hub's family visiting Greenville to see Owen's gymnastic competition, which was a major bummer. but I'm glad Jackson and him got to go before he got sick.
Hopefully by the next time I write one of these life will be a little more normal again. 🙂 Here's what else has been going on behind the scenes.
Currently...
Reading...
Next up in my reading stack is Code Name: Helene, by Ariel Lawhon. It's the story of a socialite spry in WWII who killed a nazi and became one of the most decorated women in the war. Reviews say it's a spell-binding historical fiction and compulsively readable.
Listening...
This song has resonated with me lately.
Watching...
I am watching the new season of Sweet Magnolias and loving it! Also, watch the docuseries on Lisa Frank on Amazon and WOW... I had no idea any of that had happened. Did anyone else collect her stuff as a kid?
Buying...
I'm still running (when I'm not sick) and recently replaced my Wave Riders again. I've been using these shoes for close to 15 years now and can't recommend them enough. Size up in these.
I also have a new favorite lotion I wanted to share! I love this one and it's been helping my winter dry skin. The coconut smell is lovely too. You can get it here.
Wearing...
I have been just living in boring sweats for a few weeks and cannot wait for healthy days and warmer weather. I've put this in my cart for those spring transitional days! Isn't it cute?
Eating...
I re-made my Black Bean Brownie recipe and took new photos. They turned out so good! Make sure to check out the updated post for the best 2 ingredient brownies you'll ever try.
Anticipating...
We are heading back to Marco Island this spring and I can't wait to go shelling there again!
Praying...
We could use some prayers for health! The boy's entire class has been sick too, so praying we can turn a corner and have some healthier non-flu days ahead.
That's it for this week! I hope everyone has a fun and festive week ahead.

Julie, Sorry to hear everyone in your house had or has the Flu. We got our shots in the Fall. I'm staying away from crouds. I guess when the boys were in school everyone catches what's going around. Glad you're all on the mend. Take care & wear a mask? Just a thought.....Peace....
