Soooo grateful to be heading into the weekend feeling SO MUCH BETTER finally! 🙌🏻 I still have an annoying cough, but I’m back to drinking coffee which is certainly helping give me life. 👏🏻 I’m also stoked because it’s Oscar weekend! 🙌🏻 Aaron and I do our best every year to watch all of the nominated films and then we fill out a ballad casting all of our predictions prior to the show to see who gets the most right. Additionally, this year I listened to a podcast for the last few weeks literally alllll about the Oscars. Nerd alert, for sure. 👋🏻 Anyone else into movies, the Oscars or award shows in general? #happyweekend #fridayvibes #theoscars2019 #coffeegivesmelife

Well, I’ve been radio silent on this here feed for almost a week, now. And it’s because me + the kiddos have been battling the flu or a nasty non-flu virus that has completely kicked our butts. Especially mine. I have not been this sick in years, and it has been humbling, frustrating, maddening and discouraging. 🌿 To have an entire week eaten up with just struggling to survive a day at a time is not how I planned to spend such a big chunk of February. I didn’t plan to miss a retreat I was REALLY looking forward to, or a close friend’s baby shower. I didn’t plan to be so incredibly needy and putting so much on Aaron to care for all of us. Or to have to put off appointments and client calls. 🌿 Suffice to say, life doesn’t always go as planned and if I’m honest, not every detour seems to have a redemptive purpose. But what IS possible in every setting is to find something to be grateful for. And in this one, that is overwhelmingly Aaron. From cooking and cleaning, to working from home and doing so much to help with the kids to give me time to rest. He is a servant and has loved us so very well. He also must have an immune system of steel because I don’t know how he has stayed well. (But praise God he has!) 🌿 Anyway. That’s what I’m up to right now. Just trying to survive and praying each day that tomorrow will be the first good one. 🤞🏻 🌿 How’s YOUR week been going? #toriwatsonphotography #sicknesssucks #gratitudematters

Our Valentine’s Day was completely lackluster because sickness has invaded me & the kiddos the past few days. 🖤 But here’s to the guy that comes home early and takes the kids outside (on an unseasonably beautiful day) to help distract them from the sickness & give me some rest time. Who grocery shops & plans a multi-course home made gourmet meal to celebrate a belated Valentine’s Day with his under-the-weather wife. Who is always steadfast and meeting needs even when it’s unglamorous and thankless. 🖤 To the guy who isn’t just a great dad & parenting partner, but who won my heart 10 years ago with his character, wit, dashing good looks and love for the Lord, above all. My forever Valentine. Love you, @aarondw86! PC: @jenny.bphotography #belatedvalentine

Grab your gal pals, pop open some wine (or grab some tea) and celebrate those female friendships you’re most grateful to have. 🙌🏻 I love me some Leslie Knope and I especially love me the many ladies in my life who laugh with me, cry with me, encourage, challenge, support and do life with me. 🖤 How do you like showing appreciation to your best girls? I’ve been trying to make it a point lately to send handwritten letters or intentional texts of gratitude as just one small gesture of love & gratefulness. 👏🏻 Here’s to all of you, ladies! Happy #galentinesday! #toriwatsonphotography
