Little Things, 3

**Post written February 6th, 2015-- I apologize for the delay in publishing it.**

Yesterday and today we've been busy mudding the walls in our bedroom. By supper time last night, Abigail, Daddy and I were all ready to be finished for the day to eat!

We wanted to do another Favorite Little Things post, since those are fun, and also help Abs and I to realize how many little things we really are blessed with! :) 

Happy New Years, and a Beginning of the Year Survey!

Hello everybody and a Happy New Year to you all! :)

I hope this finds you all in good health and happy. 

We decided to have a "Beginning of the Year" survey, so we can have a better understanding of our reader's thoughts. It's only 8 questions, and will only take a minute or two, so if you would go ahead and answer the questions for us that would be a big help! :) 

Little things, 2

Because the "Little Things" post turned out to be our most popular, I decided to do another one, this time with both mine and Abigail's answers to our "favorite little things" of the past few weeks.
We also decided to add five random facts about each of us at the end, and we'd like to hear five random facts about you! ;) So don't forget to comment below, or send an email. :) Also, go ahead and click the response boxes below! :D

So here are a few of our favorite little things this past few weeks.

Little Things

Hello!
Today I thought I'd do something a bit different and have a little questionnaire that I would answer about the little things that I'm really being blessed by/have been enjoying right now, recently. Let me know what you think of it. ;)
Abigail is working on a smorgasbord post, as well, so hopefully that will be forthcoming.

"What has been your favorite ---- recently??"

1. Song?
But I have Prayed for Thee
2. Color?
I've been drawn to bright summer teal a lot this last week. Everywhere I look I'll see it and be like, "Oh that's my favorite color!" ;)
3. flower?
Not sure what type it is, but it looks like this:



They come in varying shades of orange to deep coral. Sadly most of them are gone now. (They're wildflower around here).
4. Bible verse?
Habbakuk 3:10-13 has really caught me the past few days.



5. snack?
Chocolate cookies with m'n'm's and coconut. :D
6. drink?
Green tea (Not sweet, for you American readers information ;P)
7. projects?
I've been redrawing my dress designs on paper and coloring them in with pencils. I also have been working on my book a lot. This week I'm going to be sewing up some skirts. ... Might be a post. ;) Other than that and cooking/baking not much.

8. looking forward to?
The missionary summer picnic, July 21st!! So excited. ;)
9. game?
Played tag in the rain outside with some missionary friends the other day. Epic. :D haha, not really. Just fun. I enjoyed it a lot.

10. book?
I just finished reading these two books today by the same author. There are a couple words you'd have to mark out, but I really enjoyed them. They were different from the books I normally read, but I was fascinated by the culture in the two books. Inspired me to share cultures more in my books. ;) They were both by Joan Hiatt Harlow... book one was Star in the Storm, and book two was Thunder from the Sea.
They are both about the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, the first in the 1910's and the second in the late 1920's. They both involve a Newfoundland dog. The stories are not related however. I had never read about the people of Newfoundland and found it very interesting. I never imagined that Celtic culture was so strong (at least back then). Or that they mixed believing in The Lord with old wive's superstitions. As an American, I tend to link that idea with the Ozarks. However, since many people in the Ozarks were Irish and Scottish, it makes sense, because I found out that a lot of Irish and Scottish settled in Newfoundland. The stories are based on many true happenings and the real way they lived, so that said--I don't agree with everything (for example their folklore--it's just silly. It does say so in the book too, at least) but if you want to find out about how Newfoundlanders lived, they're very interesting.

Well that's all for now! Hope you are all having lovely days, enjoy all the little blessings and happy things that come every day. :)
In fact, you could pick a couple of the questions above and give your answers in a comment below. We are so happy to get comments. ;)
If you like our blog, let us know, and tell us what you would like to see more of. :)
Also... pardon if there's little hiccoughs in the blog format right now. We are in the middle of giving the blog a makeover. ;) It's taking a little bit of time, but hopefully it will be a little more professional looking and easier to navigate soon. :)

See you around! <3
