#158 Lazy Days & Day 11
5:03 AM
Today, despite his cold, Stephen had to wake up to go into work. Thankfully it's a half day, and thankfully his day doesn't begin till 8 (instead of 6:30). I on the other hand, slept in. A lot.
When Stephen got home, I have to admit we did really nothing at all. After a few fun filled moments at home along with a nap or two, we ventured out into the big bad world and picked us up some Peanut Butter Captain Crunch and the Batman vs Superman movie.
We watched the movie. It ended, and so did the day.
I've been begging for this quietness in my life, and it seems the Lord just needed me to be patient. I know another wave of busy-ness will come, but I'm going to soak up what I need here while I can.
They are sweet, down to earth, and talented. They share about their faith, their home, their marriage, and their life. They also give me this sick nostalgic feeling every time I read her blog or Instagram page. They make me long for a time I never knew, but make me feel like I've been there all along.

Favorite Instagramers--who should you follow?
Oh first, I kind of forgot to look ahead and see that today's Blogtember challenge is to do "A Day in the Life of" with hourly photos. So that'll be Monday's challenge, because it'll be a little more filled with stuff.
Sadly, if you're not a home decor lover, I may not be the best person to ask about Instagram pages to follow. But I'll try and throw a few others in the mix. I mean I do have more interests than home decor, right?

Liz Marie Blog
While I'm not sure I could live in a home with as many antiques and rustic pieces, seeing Liz Marie's vision for her home and how she pulls it all together makes me want to try. Plus she has her own store she runs, which is as beautiful as her home, two puppies she loves, and shares about marriage along with miscarriage. She's honest and real, but so very uplifting at the same time.
ChrisLovesJulia Blog
While Julia's style is totally not my own, my goodness does she pull it off! Plus she shares about life with a big fluffy dog and how she still keeps her house looking good. I still can't manage to pull it off, but it encourages me that I can!
Erin Napier
Erin will refer to her blog occasionally on her Instagram page, and sure enough you can find her blog which is the inspiration for my own. I found Erin's blog originally because I caught a pin one of my friends had on Pinterest one day, and recognized the house being from my parent's home town--Laurel, MS. I had just returned from a trip there with my mom for our family reunion, and my love for this underdeveloped small town began to flourish especially when reading her blog. After following them for a couple of years, Erin & Ben now have their own HGTV show that will be airing in 2017.

Tegan Griffith
So Tegan doesn't have a huge following, in fact she's really just a regular gal living in Wisconsin who happens to love Wagoneers. At the same time though, she just posts regular life photos of her doing her job (she's a veteran, going to school, and also does stuff with the Veterans Office in her town) while traveling around the state and beyond. Her photos aren't picture perfect, but they tell a beautiful story of a single girl making a difference all while from the comforts of Blondie her Wagoneer.
Tommy Lenk
While Tommy Lenk is openly gay, he doesn't really delve into that on his Instagram page. Yea he may dress up as a woman from time to time, but honestly it's just in good fun to show off his impeccable ability to copy any fashion #LenkLewkForLess. Most of his looks are "$Free from my Haus" and result in hilarious videos and photos like the above.
