I’m a few days late to the party, but that’s life lately, and honestly, I’m just so happy to be jumping back into blogging again that I don’t even mind! When I saw that on Dara's blog that Jenn is still hosting Currently, I got excited. This series has always felt like a cozy catch-up with friends, and I’m thrilled to join in again.
This month we’re sharing what we’re currently loving, doing outside, cooking/grilling, excited about, and wearing...so here we go!
-
All the ice time Mason is getting this week! From private lessons to Hockey Pro sessions, he’s thriving out there...and it brings me so much joy to watch him doing what he loves.
-
Our supportive family who helps us shuttle him around to all of that ice time. It truly takes a village, and I’m so grateful for ours.
-
Getting back into blogging. Life got hectic (as it does), and I just didn’t have the margin for writing. But it feels so good to be back...filling in the gaps of everything I missed, writing real-time updates, and reconnecting with this little creative space of mine. Even if no one reads a word, this blog is such a gift to me, a therapeutic & creative outlet.
🌿 Doing Outside
-
Watering all the things. I am praying that they survive this rollercoaster Texas weather. One day it’s 95° with 90% humidity, and the next it’s cool and stormy. Bless it.
-
Walk/jog combos — trying to squeeze in some movement when I can. I call them my “Walk & Worship” moments: praying, reflecting, and thanking God for all He’s doing.

Watching Mason shoot pucks on the driveway.
🍔 Cooking/Grilling
Honestly? Not much at all lately. Life has been so go-go-go that we haven’t had time to cook, let alone grill.
Last Sunday I had every intention of grilling...I even bought the stuff: meat, watermelon, homemade ice cream fixins. But after Mason’s noon game, we had to hit the hockey store for a skate bake, insoles, and tongue replacements (because, hockey life 😅). It turned into a full-blown skate-lab marathon, and by the time we wrapped up, we hadn’t even eaten lunch...so we hit our favorite hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint for dinner at 4:30pm.
Maybe we’ll make up for it this weekend!
Our trip to Colorado...and not just for the scenery (although it’s one of my favorite places ever). Mason will be attending a hockey camp at the Air Force Academy and is absolutely pumped. Our dear friends are letting us stay in their basement for the week (how generous is that?!), and I just know it’s going to be one of those memory-making trips full of laughs, adventure, and late-night talks with people we love.
👕 Wearing
All the red, white, and blue. I'm full-on Fourth of July mode already, and I'm not even sorry about it.
But summer dressing is weird for us because of all the time we spend in hockey rinks. One minute it’s 65 degrees in the rink, and the next minute we’re stepping outside into a sauna. We’ve definitely gotten a few side-eyes for our hoodie-and-shorts combos...but hey, rink life rules.
Thanks for catching up with me this month! This little link-up always reminds me how much beauty there is in the “everyday”, the ordinary moments we’re living right now.
Next month’s prompts are: loving, savoring, celebrating, remembering, and trying...and I already can't wait to share.
Until then, here’s to messy days, blooming flowers, lots of water breaks, and more grilled cheese than gourmet dinners. 💛
