1. Periscoping With My 6-Year-Old Sidekick
This little guy loves to show up to my daily #MorningMotivation LIVE show on Periscope and it’s become a fun thing for the two of us to do together.
He usually just pops in for a few minutes every day to say “hi!” and share a tidbit from his life. Periscope is real-time and non-staged and non-edited, so I love that it allows me to share a little real-life peek into our home!
{If you’re not already joining us, I’d love to invite you to tune in — download the Periscope app and then follow @MoneySavingMom. I usually go live sometime between 8:15 and 9:15 am CT. (I know, that’s a big range, but I’m staying very flexible and giving myself grace during #TheYearofRest!) You can have Periscope notify you when I’m live so you can watch and interact/ask questions in the comments. Or, you can watch the replays on the app or at Katch.me/MoneySavingMom.}
2. My Husband
I absolutely adore this shot from our filming this week. I love this man so much.
He has stood by my side through thick and thin. We’ve walked through some deep waters over the last year and he has carried me, prayed with me, loved me, listened to me, encouraged me, and been a safe place for me to fall apart.
We struggle. We argue. We snap at each other. But we fight through and fight for our marriage.
Because we know it’s worth fighting for… even on the rough days.
3. A To Do List That Made Me Laugh
I found this to-do list somewhere online awhile back and I came across it again this week and it made me laugh! 
4. My Current Book Stack
What are you reading right now? My current reads are: A Broken Kind of Beautiful, Four Seasons in Rome, & Roots & Sky.
I’m reading more stories and “quieter” books during #TheYearofRest — fewer books telling me what I should do as a person or business owner or parent or homeschooler and more books that just give my soul space to exhale.
There’s nothing wrong with non-fiction or so-called “self-help” books (I wrote some myself, after all!), but I’ve just felt that spending time getting caught up in good stories has been so restorative and relaxing for me.
5. TOMS Shoes
After years and years of hearing how amazing these shoes were, I finally ordered my very first pair of TOMs when Zulily had a sale recently. And I am in LOVE! Totally smitten!
I think these are going to be absolutely perfect for travel and everyday wear and I love that I can dress them up and dress them down — and that they are crazy comfortable!
I’m usually not someone who follows trends, but this is one “trend” I wish I would have jumped on earlier!
