What’s Been On Our Mind + Favorite TV Shows

Truth time… we have been in a rut with our blog posts. Honestly, it feels like the content we have been creating lately has been filled with a lot of repetitiveness. It’s lead us to not being proud of what we’re putting out, which is not fair to you and ourselves. We went back to the drawing board, brainstormed, and are really excited for new content that we’ll be bringing to the blog soon.

And with that, we are going to be adding in more personal posts alongside our fashion posts. If there are any specific topics you’d like to see from us or if you have any suggestions in general, we would love to hear from you!

What’s Been Our Mind + Favorite TV Shows

Lydia’s Thoughts

We got a new pup, his name is Leo and he’s pretty darn cute. Which leads me to talk about how I hate change. It’s hard for me to have things change, although I do crave and dream about being adventurous.

I have been doing a good amount of online shopping lately. But, I always wait too long and all the items I really want end up out of stock by the time I make my decision. Yep, I am also the WORST decision maker.

On the blog (soon) I am going to be sharing a Spotify playlist of mine and my favorite podcasts. I CAN NOT WAIT.

I’m so thankful for the opportunities, growth, and community that comes with blogging, but it’s brought on a lot of more hard days than good. I know that a big part of that is I feel lost on what my calling’s and passions are in life. Honestly, I just don’t know if what I am doing right now, is what I should be doing. And it’s been really hard on me.

I really wished I liked running. I want to add some more cardio into my workout routine along with working out at The Bar Method (which I loveeeee). Also, I feel like I just need to be doing a little bit more, especially because most of my days involve sitting around, working on the blog, and not being active.

I’m so ready for warmer weather. I posted on Instagram that 60-70° sunny, weather is my absolute FAVORITE. It just puts me in the best mood!

This week we got to read to a fourth-grade class who has been having a hard time due to a tragedy in their lives and ours. They were the sweetest kids ever with the kindest hearts. I definitely want to go back on a regular occurrence to not only build relationships with them but to let them know that they are loved.

For many years now, I’ve had an ever-evolving Pinterest board of my future wedding and kiddos. Is that weird? Either way, it’s sort of the best… such a dreamer over here!

This is weird, but I don’t like coffee anymore. Okay, I like coffee but I am super picky because most coffee I think is just gross now? Don’t ask me why.

I have been on the hunt for a clean beauty foundation. Right now I am trying Vapour Organic Beauty Atmosphere Soft Focus Foundation. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

If you need a new Netflix show, Northern Rescue is amazing. It’s about a dad and his three kids who suddenly lost their wife/mom. They end up relocating to a rural hometown, Turtle Island Bay, to be near their aunt. I don’t want to say anything else because I would spoil the show, but let’s just say it’s emotional, raw, and really really good. I’m hoping for a season two!

Katie’s Thoughts

I love blogging but somedays I wonder if I am dragging Lydia down. Would Oh Darling Blog be more marketable to brands if I wasn’t around? I believe in us, but as a mom, I want my children to flourish in their dreams. I would hate to be the one that is dragging down that dream.

I’m a bar method instructor and every year we have to take an exam for our re-certification. I am the WORST test taker. Plus, I feel like they try and trick you with their questioning. Why can’t test creators just create questions that are straight forward?

One of my mottos is, “Let go and Let God”. I know that the only thing I can control in life is me… My attitude, my thoughts, my actions. Lately, I have allowed myself to worry instead of turning it over to God. I need to re-center myself and get back into that right frame of mind.

Our family recently went through a sudden tragedy. I knew my extended family was amazing but through this tragedy, I was reminded how great they are. Also, I feel beyond blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people.

I want to reiterate what Lydia stated about reading to the 4th-grade class. I loved it. It felt great to show these kids a little love. It was such a simple act that brought me such joy.

I know I am late to the game because I don’t watch much tv, but I am obsessed with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Prime Video. Not only is the show the best but I am crazy about the fashion too.

 

What’s been on your mind lately? We would love to hear if you enjoyed this more personal post and would like to see more like this in the future.
