It’s time one again for Anne and Jenna’s monthly “Currently” link-up. I can’t believe February is here. It’s looking to be a good month, so stay tuned! Here is what I am currently up to.
Sending – Positive thoughts and prayers to my friend’s mom for a successful recovery. She was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She had surgery and is now going for chemotherapy. As the bracelet we have says “No One Fights Alone.”
Eating – this Orange Beef Teriyaki Soup that I made for dinner last night as well as other cold weather foods like stews and chili. The groundhog predicted an early spring, so I’ve got to eat all the cold-weather comfort food now!
Dreaming – Of a vacation. My husband turns the big 4-0 this year and we are planning a family vacation to celebrate. November is a long ways off though and I could really use a couple of days of rest and relaxation right about now!
Smelling – My White Barn Mint Mocha Bark candle from Bath & Body Works. This is a “winter” scent to me and I want to use it while it’s cold
Hearting – Podcasts. I’ve been listening to them all the time – on my drive to work, cleaning the house, etc. My recent faves have been Heather Dubrow’s World (I’m a Real Housewives fan!), Spawned with Kristen and Liz of Cool Mom Picks, Happier with Gretchen Rubin, The Lively Show, Fempire, Carpool Talk Show and All the Books! This is a real mix here!
Sending you positive vibes for your friend’s mother. That is tough and I’m glad she has support fighting with her. Also, hoping you get that vacation. Beach and ocean sounds so nice right now.
Thanks Megan! My friend’s mother has a ton of support from lots of family and friends. It’s just hard having to see her go through it all. And yes, we are still deciding on where to go, but that vacation is going to happen!
I definitely feel ya on the “winter” scents! I seem to have my favorites for each season as well. I just can’t bring myself to burn a tropical smelling candle in January, it would be such a tease!
Yes! Unfortunately, I have a ton of spring/summer smelling candles and not many winter ones. I’m kind of over the Christmas tree smelling ones.
I have that candle too! I love lighting it while I have some coffee in the morning! That soup looks delicious. I love teriyaki anything 🙂
Mornings are too rushed for us to light candles, but I love lighting candles in the evening. The soup was tasty and different! Spicy, sweet and flavorful.
Oh yay, I am all about the podcasts right now too, so I’m going to have to check out some of these! I love Happier and the Lively Show too. And that soup sounds so warm and comforting!
Lifting up prayers for your friend’s mom!
