A couple months have gone by and it’s time for another monthly favorites blog of things we have been enjoying!
Baby
Fisher-Price Baby’s First Blocks– This is Ewan’s most used toy! We put the top on the ground and he tries to put the shapes in their correct slot. He can do the circle by himself! I take this everywhere we go!
Spiderman Ride On Car- This Mickey Ride On is the closest thing I can find to what Ewan has. My husband paid $1 for ours at at garage sale! Obviously, Ewan can’t push himself around the house on it, but we do! He also likes to push the buttons, open up the seat, and push the car back and forth while sitting on the ground.
Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo– This has been a favorite for a while. Ewan LOVES to bounce! Most of the time when I pick him up from daycare he is jumping away in one.
Lifestyle
Garden of Life Raw Protein & Greens– I’ve been getting better at making shakes to my taste! I use the following following “recipe” that I have adapted from Sarah Therese on YouTube. I love her channel!
- 12 oz Unsweetened Original Almond Milk
- 1 Scoop Garden of Life Raw Protein & Greens (Vanilla or Chocolate)
- 3-4 handfuls of frozen spinach and kale mix
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 tablespoon hemp hearts
- 1 cup frozen strawberries or bananas or any other frozen fruit
Beachbody PiYo– I have finished the 8 week PiYo program and now I am on week 3 of 8 on PiYo Strength. I absolutely LOVE this program for the flexibility and strength it is giving me. The best part is the better you get at it the more you get out of the workouts.
Books
And Baby Makes Three– We might be a little late to the game to read this book, but it has been great information for Beau and I and has already made a difference. It was recommended to us by my therapist.
Music
Lauren Daigle- I am loving Spotify to discover new songs and artists. My current favorite songs from Lauren Daigle are Rescue and Rebel Heart from her album Look Up Child.
Rescue:
You are not hidden
There’s never been a moment
You were forgotten
You are not hopeless
Though you have been broken
Your innocence stolenI hear you whisper underneath your breath
I hear your SOS, your SOSI will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue youThere is no distance
That cannot be covered
Over and over
You’re not defenseless
I’ll be your shelter
I’ll be your armor
Rebel Heart:
Lord, I offer up this rebel heart
So stubborn and so restless from the start
I don’t wanna fight You anymore
So take this rebel heart and make it YoursFather, I no longer wanna run
You’ve broken my resistance with Your love
And drowned it underneath the crimson spill
So bend this rebel heart unto Your willI give it over to You
I give it over to You
Your love is like an arrow, straight and true
And now this rebel heart belongs to YouHelp me lay the renegade to rest
Turn the stone inside me back to flesh
And hold me ’til my best defenses fall
And watch this rebel heart surrender all
Check out the My Beloved Blog Spotify playlist! Both of those songs are on the playlist. I’m adding my favorite songs all the time!
With hope and healing,
Brittany
You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.
2 Chronicles 20:17 (NIV)
