I’m showering my baby plants with all the water until they come back to life. I managed to partially kill some flowers I planted a couple weeks ago and I’m convinced they are dead because I’m used to the watering patterns of succulents. Speaking of, I’ve been doing some research on pinching back some of my overgrown plants, but haven’t actually taken the plunge. Hopefully April will be a turning point in my gardening skills for the year or I’m going to be in trouble…sheesh.

Lately, I’ve been working on cultivating a better prayer life. I started reading A Praying Life with some folks at work and I am feeling really challenged by what I’m learning and some of the suggestions on how to better put prayer into action. The biggest positive change for me this far has been creating prayer cards and writing very brief verses and phrases that serve as a reminder of specific things to pray about. Growing in this area is one of my biggest goals for 2018.

I’m participating in The 100 Day Project – where I’ll be attempting to share 100 blog posts – and I’m expecting to see LOTS of inspiration coming from my favorite blog and Instagram friends like RUKristin, Adele from Inkie Quill and Elise Joy. It’s my first time. Are you participating this year?

The list is long this month! I’m in the market to buy some new clothes for work/home and I have no real direction other than needing jeans because I currently have one pair that is in dire need of replacing. If you have some curvy girl jean suggestions or favorite stores, let me know!

Kevin and I are wearing down on some of our favorite go-to recipes, so we’ve been trying to add some new ones to the mix. Currently, we are loving the chicken and swiss bake (I like to include veggies) as well as these blackened tilapia bowls. I’m all about finding new healthy meals to try, so I’m very interested to see what you all are cooking lately!
Today I’m joining Anne, at In Residence, for a ‘Currently’ linkup that she hosts on the first Wednesday of every month. Be sure to pop over and see what everyone else is up to!
I really need to find some new healthy recipes, and just try and make the ones I DO have. It’s hard though because sometimes I go through all this trouble and then I don’t like it. Sigh.
I’m waiting to get some new clothes for summer – not that i need much – but I DID go to Old Navy recently to get some workout clothes for dance, etc.

I’ve been feeling the need to add a new (easy) recipe or two to the lineup here too. Those blackened tilapia bowls sound great! My go-to is making a weekly frittata – super easy, healthy, and you can add any veggies that you might have on hand.
Now that sounds delicious and easy to change up depending on what’s on hand, I’ll have to try that one day this coming week.
Oh how I needed to hear this about prayer. Thank you!
I went a little nuts with buying clothes recently! 100posts?! Go you!!
That’s the goal, so we’ll see how it turns out! Haha! Thanks for stopping by!
I love planting flowers in containers and watching them grow! What a wonderful goal to work on your prayer life. Thank you for this reminder! I hope your 100 Day Blog Project is going well!
