What I’m Loving, Edition January 2017

Hey, friends! Here is my first Favorite Things list of 2017. Check out a few things I’m loving this month and let me know what you think!

  1. This Focus on the Family podcast episode: Y’all. This one is so good. It’s all about teaching your children money management. It struck such a chord with me that Peter and I have decided to start implementing it with Brienne. I can’t wait to see how she does with it.
  2. Hidden Figures: We recently watched this moving depiction of a group of African American women who began working for NASA during the 1960’s. A true story, I was struck by these ladies’ perseverance and determination in the face of real adversity. They broke through their own “glass ceiling,” not by rioting or demonstrations, but by true hard work and tenacity. It was a lesson for us all. If you haven’t yet watched this movie, I seriously recommend you go soon. (There is also a book, for those of you who like to read the book before watching the movie.)
  3. Dela Pop Gourmet White Chocolate Pretzel Popcorn: You are going to want some of this – it is  so delicious! Brienne had to sell it for chorus this year so we bought a couple bags. Good grief, y’all. It has been my go-to snack lately, and I’m so sad that it’s now all gone. You need to get some. Seriously. Order some right now. And you’re welcome.

And that’s it for this month! Happy February!
