pedi nursing.

my most anticipated college course thus far is finally here.

pediatrics.

i am seriously already in love and i haven't even spent a day in the hospital.

i am sure that you will be hearing lots from me about peds on this fine little embitions 

because it's my dream to work as a nurse in pediatric neurology.

pediatric icu, see you tomorrow.

we walked into orientation and our desks had these little surprises awaiting our arrival

(only in peds would your teacher give you stickers and blowfish toys for painful procedure distraction).

our first assignment was to create an art piece of one of our most vivid childhood memories and explain a bunch of developmental stuff on the back so i decided to paint 

'sunday afternoons comprised of splitting dr. pepper and gardening with dad'.

we studied pediatric med calculations, fluid dosing, and iv administration,

and i decided that even that is cuter when you know its for peds.

plus, i get to wear colored scrubs... omg.

i (heart) pediatric nursing so darn much.

classes are great and challenging,

san francisco is seriously feeling like my second home and i love it,

b is a sweet as can be,

my family is awesome as always,

i need for nothing and want for very little in my spoiled little world,

nursing is the best and being in a neuro icu and pediatrics is even better,

jobs and connections seem to be falling into place,

my nursing girls and college besties are so hilarious and supportive,

and as of this week i may be a new renter in the cutest of city places.

life is good.

so very good.

don't get me wrong, we all have our struggles and down times but today is a happy, happy day.

on the agenda.

'get your booty in gear/ you will make it through this semester/ organize your life em'

kind of weekend.

apartment hunting.

reading and home working.
time with my mewy.

organizing.

coffee drinking.

laundry.
cozy dinner with friends.

that's all folks.

what's on your weekend to-do list?

bread me, please.

i'm a super sucker for homemade bread.

actually, to be completely honest- one of my favorite babysitting families makes homemade bread all the time and it's one of the main reasons i love babysitting for them (also i love the children a ton).

fruit and veggie based breads are the best.

all warm and soft with butter, jam, or a slice of cheddar cheese.

yum.

i have tried a few of these and LOVE them and the others are on my radar for the coming weeks.

lemon rosemary loaf.

black pepper parmesan beer bread.

lemon poppyseed zucchini bread.

whole wheat cinnamon applesauce bread.

you're mouth is watering, huh?

i knew it.

enjoy!

pick-me-ups.

hump day inspiration.

two sweet nothings that i am loving these days.

p.s.s. aren't quotes the best little pick-me-ups?

truth.

She did not need much, wanted very little. 

A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, 

sheltering arms, a cozy bed, and to love and be loved in return.
