What I’m Digging Right Now

1. The “fruits” of our vegetable garden.  Rather, to put this more accurately, my husband’s vegetable garden. When we first moved into our house two years ago and he wanted to start this garden, I admit, I was skeptical.  Reluctant in fact.  Very newly pregnant with a 1 yr. old and with boxes still needing to be unpacked, a new hobby felt exhausting, but go you, my dear husband.  He did it anyway, and now we are all enjoying the freshest of fresh veggies on our table.

2.  Fall temps.  Somehow my body chemistry changed after I had kids.  I’m hot. ALL THE TIME.  Not like the “sheen” of a constant summer sticky sweat was getting old or anything… 

3. TV series on Netflix.  This signals the end of an era, dear readers, b/c after years and years (and years) as a dedicated DOOL fan, I’ve traded in my soap-viewing and am now enjoying watching episodes of shows I’ve never before seen.  Yes, fine, after 4 months, my husband and I have only made it to episode 9 of Season 1 of the Tudors and this rapid pace will probably slow down even more with the advent of the fall TV season, but it’s fun knowing we have a whole bevvy of fun shows to watch whenever we get a chance.  And if I score a double nap and am happily typing away at a blog post?  You’d better believe Make It or Break It is wheeling out it’s teenage gymnastic drama in the background.

4. The hope of fitting into my jeans again.  No worries–this Mom of the Year will never profess her undying love for exercise, but I am enjoying the feeling of having shed some weight.  It’s kind of fabulous.

5. People StyleWatch magazine.  Loving the Groupon that scored me this magazine for about $8 for the year.  No, I obviously don’t have the time or money to shop for the items featured, but it’s nice to get some inspiration to break out of the yoga pant rut once in a while.

Stay tuned because on Sunday I’m rolling out the flip side of the coin with some things I’m definitely NOT digging right now…
