Zach and I spent the most rejuvenating time with some of our most-precious friends today. Good company is so good for the heart.
As we rock and roll in insanity over here, (our house goes on the market this upcoming week you guys!!), I've had to reflect on the little things that put just little extra pep in my step.
Here are a few things that I'm just loving right now:
#1 For Your Heart - Overwhelmed Self-Care Sheets by Emily Ley

I found these on the weirdest whim and they are so timely.
I love that I can analyze what is overwhelming me at the moment, physical stuff, mental space, or my time, and use a flow chart to help me eliminate that feeling.
I've found that to be my best wife, momma, employee and student, I need to keep my head-space in check. When I'm overwhelmed, (like 90% of the time, lately) I let balls drop and my attitude runs rampant.
I love the quick check-in this FREE(!!!!!!!!!) sheet requires. Check it out and save it to your camera roll to help as an easy resource when things feel out of control.
P.S. While I love Emily's planners, (you can find a BlueSky version at target!!), I also just love her heart. She's so encouraging and full of the Holy Spirit. Check out that link above to learn more about her and her company.
#2 For Your Body - Charcoal Toothpaste by Twin Lotus
Okay, y'all, not the prettiest product ever, but my mom has been using this stuff for years now and she has the whitest teeth ever!!!
So, I decided to put my disgust aside and check it out for myself.
It doesn't taste like toothpaste should... not terrible, but also not super refreshing, so I usually add my normal toothpaste about halfway through brushing.
It works you guys. Like, one use, night and day.
#3 For Your Wardrobe - Initial Necklaces from Anthropology

Zach gave me my "H" necklace in honor of Hosea's birth and it is one of the single most perfect gifts I've ever been given.
I wear it all the time and it gets so many compliments.
It's dainty, unique, and gold... all of the things I love when it comes to jewelry!
Also, if you're a momma, it would be so sweet to collect each of your baby's initials in the varying sizes they offer.
#4 For Your Home (and Heart Your Heart As Well if We're Being Honest;)) - DIY $12 Floral Arrangements
I love creating arrangements! You can view my post on creating your arrangements on a dime.
They not only make my home-making heart flutter, but they also allow me to put my energy into something quick and simple that takes my mind off of the crazy for a moment.

Having small things that offer a special touch of happiness into your day-to-day are so important.
They will not extend lasting joy, but they do help make you feel like there are elements to your life that are just special for you.
I hope you have your list of must-haves. If there is anything you're just loving right now, send them my way because I love trying new recommendations from friends!
All my Monday love, Lyd
