Currently...

Today I am joining to Anne In Residence for the Currently Link Up.  The prompts today are asking what we are loving, reading, remembering, sharing, and wish-listing!  3,2,1...here I go!

Currently, I am loving the fact I work so close to a hospital with a great walking amenity.  On my lunch breaks I can bundle up and get some fresh (cold) air and enjoy a podcast or some music and really escape from work and anything else on my mind for a little bit.  I'm a big believer in taking full advantage of your lunch break to get away! Read this about the benefits.  Add a second tick box to loving for the fact that we are officially in February and for that I am thankful!  I am not a winter person and to me February means tulips, spring planning, and the end of the dark!  Yay February!

Anyone else a little bummed with current reading options?  I know it's just me.  I have decided to read some old books in place of new ones.  Right now I'm finishing up Bastard Out of Carolina.  My format for "reading" is actually Audible.  However, I miss holding books.  I would say I would make a point of getting a few from my public library however they do not have a great selection. I also am not a fan of buying a book every time I want to read one.  Have any of you tried Book Of The Month Club?  Perhaps I should do a little more research!  I just miss holding a real book!





February conjurs up memories for me probably more than any other month out of the year including December!  I think its the impending spring that makes this happen.  February seems to be my personal "new year" and not because anything huge really ever happened in this month but more because I feel like I'm coming back to life after the end of a year and the passing of January.  I always start the month out planning a trip or two for the coming months.  My husband and I generally get our anniversary trip planned in February (the photos I've posted up there) and that is always fun and exciting because I am so ready to bust out! Planning our trip to Mexico was wonderful a few years back.  Savannah was a blast.  The Florida Panhandle will always be my favorite.  Those are memories I cherish! The kids sports also start their registrations and we get schedules which I have a love hate relationship with...that's for another post!  The memories made sitting on those fields are fun ones that also built friendships and fun time to look back on.  February is also the month that my Mammaw was born in and every February 9th I think of her though she crossed over sixteen (wow) years ago.

What am I sharing right now?  Hmm, that's a good prompt!  How about I hope to share more in this space!  You can find me on IG @iscreambrownie and maybe see what I can share with you in my often random posts or when I go for my weekly Aldi trip? This week is Fab Fit Fun customization week.  I love them and they gave me some free starter boxes to share - if any of you are interested please let me know so I can pass it along to you!

My current Wishlist:  Airfryer oven, all expenses paid trip to a nice warm and tropical location, a new couch for the living room, and I think maybe that's all? 

This was super fun - thanks, Anne!  And all of you <3

  2. Thanks for joining in! I love tulips too - it's a long time before they'll grow here, but I always use February as an excuse to buy a bunch in honor of my wedding anniversary.

    Oh and I love my Book of the Month subscription - highly recommend :)

  3. We often plan getaways in February (either for Feb. or later in the year) as I really start dreaming of ways to escape the winter! We did get out for a 2 hour walk today though and even though it was chilly it felt great.

    1. Way to go on getting out of the house! So imperative especially in the winter. I wish I could go for two hours walks but thanks to a one hour lunch break my time is short!!!

  5. I really love Book of the Month. It's a good deal for getting a physical book, and add-on books are only $10, so that's awesome too. I have an affiliate link if you want to use that.
