Let’s get started!  These are a few of my favorite things…

1 -- My Instruments

OK, so I could go on FOREVER about my instruments, but for the sake of your sanity, I will refrain from doing that. :)

Piano 😍😍😍

Viola

Erhu

Not pictured: flute, kalimba, and piccolo.

2 -- Ice Cream

Moose Tracks, preferably.  Or chocolate.  Or vanilla with a gallon of chocolate syrup on top.  Or something to that effect. :)

3 -- Volleyball

I absolutely love playing volleyball!!  I wish I had some good action shots to share with you, but none of those have ever been taken because apparently I’m invisible.  Or the photographers or invisible.  Oh well…

4 -- Quality Time with Family

For the privacy’s sake, I do not share photos of my siblings with you all.  But know that I am very thankful for them and time together is my favorite!  Whether it’s a one-on-one dinner date, an early morning hike, reminiscing about funny memories at family birthday parties, or singing together in the car, I love spending time with my favorite crazy people!

5 -- Trying New Hairstyles

I love experimenting with new hairstyles on both my sisters’ and my hair!  It’s surprising how many photos I have taken of hairstyles.  My “deleted” folder on my phone is always full of hairstyle selfies.   I really should just save all of those photos instead of deleting them, and then compile a hairstyle post here on the blog.  Haha!

6 -- Photography

Anna also listed this in her Favorite Things post, and although my photography is nowhere near the level + quality of hers (hers is fantastic!), photography is also something I enjoy when I get the chance.  Below are some photos I have taken.

7 -- Random Other Things

Books, gifts, encouraging friends, hand lettering, Bible time, memories, hilarious text streams (which I will not be sharing here)… we are so blessed!  I couldn’t possibly name all of my “favorite” things; there are too many!  But here are a couple more, for the record.

Bible time

Sour cream and chips :)

Flowers from my little brother

Journals + my journaling Bible

Surprise packages from sweet friends

Hand-lettering

I nominate…

Meg at Twirling in the Rain (Also, let’s just pretend that I already nominated you for the Sunshine Award, the LiebsterAward, and the Average Day tag…  Feel free to do them if you’d like!)

Grace at Don’t You Know That I’m Singing

Alyssa at Here is Love

Mykaela at Making Music for the Master

Bella at Worth it All (I’m guessing at this point that you don’t do blog tags, but I thought I’d give you another chance in case you saw this and went I WANT TO DO THIS WHY DIDN’T SHE TAG ME ;)

On a different note, I apologize for not blogging in several weeks.  I have a folder full of posts in progress and I’m also planning a new blog post series, so hopefully soon I’ll get this thing on the road again.  Thank you for sticking around even when I’m inconsistent!  Y’all are the best!

For you blog-less people: please share 7 of YOUR favorite things in the comments below!  I would love to hear!
