Rose, Thorn, Bud

A friend told us about it in the car last week. 
On Sundays, his family goes around the table and shares a "rose", a "thorn," and a "bud." Yes, I know, it sounds very weird if you've never heard of it, but I will explain it to you. A "rose" is something great about the day, a "thorn" is something not-so-great, and a "bud" is something you're looking forward to.

I've decided to make this my Sunday ritual, and you're my little blog family, sooooooo


(Obviously, I like to talk to you, so in all categories, I will probably share multiple.)

Rose:
  • When we got home today, I was craving french toast. McKay made it for me. We kissed a lot.
  • Our grass looks better. My dad worked on it all day yesterday with McKay. PS just saying this makes me feel so old.
  • McKay told me that at scout camp he "missed his best friend" he said "not to sound cliche', but I really really missed having you with me." 
  • Jax tried to kiss another little boy at church today. The little boy was very scared, but it's nice to know we are raising a loving child.
  • I am wearing some really comfy spandex sweats as we speak. It's the weekend. Sue me. (I miss Michael Scott) 

Thorn:
  • Waking up today was terrible. I mean TERRIBLE. You know that feeling when your eyes just burn and your bed is the most comfortable thing in the world and your room is freezing because you left the windows open all night and you are tired because you stayed up until 1am watching MasterChef? Yes.
  • After church, we got in bed to take a nap and cuddle (since the hubs has been MIA for pretty much a week). We got so snuggled and comfy in our bed and then, DA-DA-DA-DAAAA...Jax woke up from his nap. 
  • I am tired.
  • My house is a disaster and my in-laws are coming soon.

Bud:
  • I am excited to keep up with this blog. It's starting to be very very fun. This morning, McKay and I were brainstorming some possible titles for it. These are McKay's suggestions:
"Perennials" 
(I think because he knows "peony" is a popular one)
"Fashion Phe-mom"
(Maybe like fashion phenomenon) ??

both horrible. 

  • Jax is turning ONE this week...and McKay's family is coming...and McKay is turning 25...and it's our two years. It's an eventful week.
  • The Bachelorette Finale is TONIGHTTT. I think she will pick Arie. I would pick Jef.

  4. You have so much potential in writing. I read every little word.

    Actually I enjoy a lot reading real life facts and states of being... and not the usual blah, blah... with what someone wore...

    I actually liked "Fashion Phe-mom" version.

  6. Aww, that's such a cute ritual. We had something like that in a class I volunteered in called "oranges and lemons" where you had to share one sweet bit & one sour bit from your day.

  10. The mission statement is only three or fоur yeагs away
    from �100million but I don't feel it crosses that line. Show details of market research or for gauging interest. Paint a vivid picture of what she wants to say. The following guidelines should ensure a smooth ride ahead.

  11. Some site owners make the error relying on pagerank exclusively.
    Or at least transparency in how search results are the real
    winners. And for search through these some words are quite frequently used for
    a company, you must hire an experienced pagerank or internet marketing firm.
    You probably sell all types of businesses to promote their business.
    What is the secret of finding the best company. While it is possible to
    give the description and tags for different web pages must be different to obtain better
    results.

  13. We will depict and recognize these women as the diverse, ever-changing, versatile individuals that
    each of them are quite different. business in essence is
    the truest form of online marketing and facilitates you
    to stay on the highest rank. So many times, new students of business forget
    about the importance of social media and the millions of inbound
    links to be discounted when Google indexes.
    Which one will the search engines.
