:: Weekend Lovelies {favorite things} ::
Wow it’s 2014! Can you believe it? Sara and I had a nice break enjoying our family time during the holidays. With two fire schedules, the holidays aren’t really celebrated exactly as per the calendar date, but around the time we have our husbands home during their days off. A crazy life for sure, but one we get used to day by day. We were able to capture the moments when we could.
January is like September for me. A month to renew, rethink, and re-evaluate what is working in life, and what is not. I love it because I am not one for big change, so it pushes me outside of my comfort zone to really think about life. I have a few big resolutions, or I should say “life changes,” that I have been working on for a couple of years. I don’t plan on moving mountains, but the one thing I do love and plan to hang on to, is to the simple idea of “hope.” It’s a big word that can help in multiple ways in life.
That being said, Sara and I hope you like some new changes we have made to Simply Happenstance! A big one is our weekly edition of Weekend Lovelies. We thoroughly enjoy lovelies because it truly is an eclectic mix of all the wonderful things we’ve come across on the web. There are so many great recipes, DIY projects, and thought provoking articles to share! In an effort to broaden our lovelies and share more great finds… we thought we’d open it up to other bloggers! {If you have a personal blog, from this point forward, on Saturday’s & Sunday’s, you’ll be able to link-up your favorite recent blog post to share with our readers! We hope that you will join us, and spread the word! If you have an Etsy Shop… you can link that up, too!}
So without much further ado, welcome to Weekend Lovelies {favorite things}!
