Marvelous Monday

Hello friends!

There are a few things that I want to share about this Mahhhhvelous Monday…

 

First of all, I want to thank you with big virtual hugs for the support and encouragement regarding my nephew Daniel.  He is doing much better now and although seizure episodes are biologically probably in his future, his parents are now aware of the problem.  But hopefully, God will graciously spare him from those terrible episodes! :)   God is good no matter what life’s circumstances may be in the end, and I always want to live by that motto.

Now that’s marvelous news, wouldn’t you agree?

Monday mornings are usually our “Sunday mornings”.  In other words, breakfasts like pancake and French toast are in the books on Monday.  Actually, we still eat those even throughout the weekdays, but you know what I mean. Hehe.

Greg really enjoyed his caramelized spiced apple French toast!  It was full of flavor and had a perfect amount of sweetness.  Whenever I cook French toast for him I try to include as much protein as possible, and I do that by sprinkling lots of almond meal on the bread while it’s cooking away on the skillet.

This method rends a super crisp and delicious top.

This is my simple and low-cost outfit that I put together in a pinch!  The flowy and free style of clothing has been my go-to way of dressing up as of late due to the comfort and flexibility of putting it together.

I basically paired up a $10 green T-shirt with my grey maxi skirt and accessorized it with that huge belt you see on the picture.  To go along with it, I like to wear the ivory wedges that I bought at Aldo  for my wedding day.  Voila!  Fast, simple, creative. ;)

Thanks Katie for reminding us to embrace the little to the big things in life!

What’s one (or many) positive or beautiful thing in your Monday?

Love,

Ellie <33

haha I know! But in our household, I like to spoil Greg so it’s pretty much any-time meal lol. And what an amaaaazing story Coco! It must feel so awesome waking up knowing that baby is happy, hungry, or showing some kind of emotion.

So glad to hear things are better, and also very sorry I’ve been awol and wasn’t able to send support at the time. Positive things about my week? Well… last fortnight I worked 119 hours and by this Friday I will have worked 19 days in a row, so the highlight of my Monday is that it’s over, it’s Tuesday here already, and I’m that much closer to a day off.

Gosh Hannah! Haven’t you learned by now that there’s no need for explanations?! I totally understand how busy your vida loca is right now! And many times I am actually reminded to pray for you! It’s really cool actually….;) Hang in there, and remember that anything difficult in life is momentary!
