not my favorite friday

Today's been interesting day so far, and it's only 8am. Riggs woke up three times in the night crying like somebody was pinching him [he usually sleeps the whole night through, maybe waking up once every now and then]. Then he woke up at 6:40am for good [he usually sleeps till 7:30 and reads quietly in bed until 8 or even 8:30 if I'm really lucky]. And he's been as ornery as all get out ever since.

Oh well, such is life with a toddler I suppose. I'm squeezing in a little blog time while he eats breakfast to post my five friday favorites, and joining two link parties while I'm at it.

This shot by Hanna of Relic Photographic is soooo gorgeous. It's taken from the top of the Butte overlooking

Pioneer Peak, which is basically in my backyard. Hanna lives here in the valley and does amazing work.

This adorable burlap and lace table runner is perfect for decorating your home for the fall and winter

holidays. And it's made by my friend Lena from Root & Blossom; definitely go check out her Etsy shop!

This easy DIY garland from Amanda is so adorable. And also, I think it's finally time for
me to put up a chalkboard somewhere in our house. So cute!

"We bury our swollen prayers in Him who’s raised from the tomb. 

We lay our hope, full and tender, into the depths of Him and wait in hope for 

God to resurrect something good. Good always necessitates long waiting." 

I got a little teary reading this post this morning from A Holy Experience. 

One of my favorite blogs to catch up on when I need extra encouragement.

This is sooooo true for me! I'm not thirty yet, in fact I'm turning 27 on 

the 23rd of this month. But most days I still feel like I'm 20 years old, 

at least until I see actual 20 year olds, and then I instantly feel a lot older...ha.
