AHHH. It's June. Which means it's time for a new "episode" of Currently, and a mini panic attack about where the last few months have gone. While I'll be doing a more recap style post of the first 6-ish months of 2016 tomorrow, I want to focus on the little things today. The things I don't always post about, but that make life so much more enjoyable. So, I'm linking up with Anne & Jenna.
{planning}
Day-hikes, a girls weekend (for who knows when) & a weekend in Milwaukee later this month.
{enjoying}
Friendships that can pickup right where they left off. I was able to see 2 of my best friends this past weekend. I've known them both since middle school. We'll go months without seeing each other, but can always pick-up right where we left off.
{buying}
New summer dresses. My butt has gotten even larger than it was before in the past 6 - 8 months, thanks to squats & lunges & leg day in general. Which, okay. But, it means that a few of my work skirts // dresses are now a little inappropriate for the office. So, TJ Maxx // Marshalls to the rescue.

WATERMELONS. All of them. Like, I eat a half a watermelon for breakfast in the summer. I just cut it in half & plop it on my desk. #noshame

^But seriously. If you can use a crockpot to make everything from pulled pork to pineapple upside down cake, you'd think we could use the damn thing to make wine.
What are you up to currently?
Have Pinterest? Leave me your link!
What's your favorite thing to make in the crock pot?
I have friends just like that where you can pick right back up where you left off, some are from middle school and some I didn't meet until college. Friendships are so important! TJMaxx and Marshalls are my SAVIORS. For everything. Especially random gifts, they have the cutest random gifty things.

Yes, sometimes I don't even know what I plan on giving someone until I see it at TJ Maxx!
DeleteHa ha, I love the bit about making wine from grapes in the crock pot :) Those dresses look really cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chaitali! Those were the two that came home with me! I even wore one today to work. :)
DeleteYay Milwaukee! I lived there for four years and I miss it. And TJ Maxx is the best! We don't have a Marshalls up here in Green Bay, but I used to love that store too when I lived in MKE. I get almost all of my clothes / workout clothes from TJ Maxx!
ReplyDeleteI love TJ Maxx too & ditto on the workout clothes, especially tops. Sometimes I'm picky about my shorts, but they always have such a huge selection!
DeleteI love those dresses!
ReplyDeleteThanks Savannah! Those are the two that made it home with me.
DeleteLoving your summer dresses!
ReplyDeleteI love friendships that can just pick up where they left off
Thanks Rebecca Jo. :)
Deletei like that blue dress is so cute and looks really comfy...two of my requirements in a dress :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachael! They were both super comfortable which is a MUST if I'm going to wear it for 8+ hours.
DeleteI can't believe you're coming to Milwaukee!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Emailed you!
DeleteOkay I feel you on the watermelon. That along with pineapple are all I've been wanting lately. My favorite thing to make in the crockpot is this white chicken chili and it's soooo good. I never crave chili in the warmer months but this is something I make like all the time!
ReplyDeleteI love white chicken chili. & the version I make it so simple. It's like 3 minutes of dumping things in & chopping up a thing or two. But, you're right. I think I would sweat to death if I tried to make it in the summer.
DeleteSounds like a great summer - girls weekends are the best! And good for you on the squats + lunges... I'm so bad about doing leg days, so I say you're totally deserving of new dresses after your hard work. The maxi is great! Thanks for linking up :)
ReplyDeleteI think I might be too good at doing leg days. Haha. But, hey, new clothes!? Thanks!
DeleteIt is CRAZY that we're already halfway through the year!
ReplyDeleteFriendships that just pick up where they left off are the best! I have friends all over the world and some of them I can not see for years and we get together and it's like distance never happened.
It's the best kind of friendships. And it's so amazing to me that you have friends all over the world. Tough sometimes I'm sure to not see them, but incredible to have such strong friendships.
DeleteWatermelons are Summer in my opinion, so as soon as they show up everywhere - it's the official start of Summer :)
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree. I would take cool, sweet watermelon over ice cream any day. It's my summer go-to.
DeleteGirl, work your booty!! I do way too many squats and lunges as well and can see the difference!! Love the pic of the beach, where is it?!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks Julie! I love squats & lunges, & they definitely make a difference.
DeleteI actually don't know about the beach, it's a free stock photo from Canva that I used.
