CASUAL MIX + MATCH | 10 things that I love

If you're here, chances are you probably follow me on Instagram and know at least a little bit about me, but today I wanted to share a little bit more about myself by telling y'all ten of my favorite things! This was really hard to narrow down. There are a lot more but I'll save them for another post.

10 things that i love:

1. i love coffee.

One of my favorite parts of the day is the morning when I can slow down, read the Word, work on my blog, and drink coffee. I seriously look forward to this time every night before I go to bed. I wake up early just so I can have this time to myself. It fuels my whole day and puts me in the right attitude, points me towards the Lord, and makes me feel really productive! I can tell a huge difference on the days where I don't get to do this.

2. I love notebooks and planners

I regularly buy cute notebooks and planners. It's a thing. A lot of my friends are like this too. I seriously can't resist a cute notebook. I love being organized and writing to-do lists so obviously I have to buy them every chance I get... 😁😅 Haha, it's actually a problem I have a huge collection. Is there such things as a notebook hoarder? That's me!

3. I love cleaning

This may be the weirdest thing about me, but cleaning is so therapeutic for me. It de-stresses and relaxes me for some reason. Anyone else like this? I think I get it from my mom.

4. I love our dog

This is no secret to anyone, I'm obsessed with our dog. I post about her all the time and it's likely that I've shown you a million pictures and videos if we've ever spent time together. 😂 I never knew I could love an animal so much though or that an animal could love me so much. I didn't have a childhood dog so this has been an amazing experience! 10/10 would recommend.

5. I love being outside

Throwing a frisbee or football, going on a walk, biking, watching sports, even eating outside. I love to be outdoors and I really like being active!

6. I love podcasts

Another thing that's therapeutic for me. Listening to podcasts. I always have one on while I work. A lot of the time I listen to sermons from my church or Matt Chandler, but my favorite podcast is Reply All! It's so cool that we live in a time when we have all the information in the world at our fingertips, so I love listening and learning new things!

7. i love people

I love spending time with other people. I'm a huge extrovert and celebrating and enjoying others is one of my favorite things of all time. The best feeling is walking into a room and knowing that you're loved and wanted and welcome and I love making people feel that way! 😊

8. I love joking and sarcasm

It's just who I am. Joking around is my love language! Sorry for the sass mom. 😉 They say laughter is the best form of medicine, right?

9. i love eating out

Bad for the budget, good for the soul. I just love trying new places, I love the atmosphere at restaurants and I just love sharing meals with people and sitting around a table together! Also, I love food and who doesn't.

10. i love my life

Yeah, I said it. I mean it, too. I love my life. I love all the things I've been blessed with. I love everything about my life from where I live, the stage of life I'm at and the people in it, and I feel so lucky that I get to live it. The life we have is such a gift and I feel totally undeserving of it. It's so easy to take everything you have for granted, but valuing everything I've been blessed with, big or small, and cherishing it is a new goal of mine!

Oh, and I love bandanas... 😂
