Weekend Highlights

We had a such a good little weekend!! I brought up this table my mom had bought the kids last year for Christmas, and the kids are loving it.  Brooke even said, "It's like a new house." It's funny how one little change can really make such a difference.

Friday we had a mommy/daughter morning.  I had to get my brows done and she loves coming with me.

Don't you just love her little shirt my friend Rachel made?

After my brow appointment we stopped at Barnes and Noble.  She had her eye on a cookie brownie and some chocolate milk.

As we sipped our drinks, we talked about who "all these guys were" and then the whole concept of heaven came up.  Not exactly easy to explain to a 4 year old, but it's one of those mommy moments where I will remember this conversation and little date forever.

I picked up a book for the kids and these two for myself.  I've started them both and really like them!  I was shocked to see a Think and Grow Rich for Women, as I have been dutifully listening to the original one lately and was kind of laughing at how it is kind of sexist.  However since I am not a #feminist, I don't take offense.  I understand that during the time in which this written, it's just the way things where.  However, it was refreshing to see that someone took the time to take the amazing information presented in this classic, and put a feminine twist to it.   Men and women are different and I look forward to reading this one for sure!

Present over Perfect has been on my list forever, but I finally had the real urge to buy it.  I've gotten about 60 pages into it and can definitely relate to some of the things she mentions, but at the same time I think since I met Joe, I have done a much better job at living in the moment and not rushing through life.  He taught me since our first date to enjoy every moment together and that even though life may not be perfect, we can always be looking for the good in all things... 

More to come on these; I will give more of a review!

Saturday brought laser tag, which I will fully admit I wasn't exactly looking forward to.  We were invited to a birthday party for one of the guys Joe works with, and I definitely looked forward to seeing everyone and hanging out.  I envisioned myself getting shot and then sitting out right away. I have never been the girl who wanted to play; I remember sitting out during these games many times when I was younger.  But this is my year of "yes" and well, back to Joe, he always pushes me to try new things.

I. Had. A. BALL!!!

I couldn't believe how fun it was to chase people and shoot with lasers!! I was so out of breath and really sweaty, I can't imagine how many calories I burned! LOL

If you have laser tag in your area, you must go do it. 

We also signed up for a game of Cyber Sport which was riding around in a bumper car thing and then trying to shoot and score with a lacrosse type of equipment.  Hilarious!

It was such a fun night out with friends and just being with adults!

Sunday morning brought yummy breakfasts...hubby gets his in bed.

After breakfast I slipped back under the covers for a few minutes.  I tried to watch Food Network, but the next thing I knew, Bradley boo came back in and wanted to watch Scooby Do



We did watch this as a family and oh my gosh, it's so good!! The kids and Joe have watched it like 3 other times and Brooke claims it is her favorite movie.   I just loved the themes...no one can make you happy; happiness is a choice and it lies within ourselves.



Kids played with some play-doh at their table while dinner cooked in the slow cooker.

The fire was going all day and I really didn't do much at all, which is why I have so much laundry and cleaning to catch up on for today...

But again, this book kind of highlights where we as mommas especially, need to slow down.  I tried not to "fake rest" too much.  That's right. You know where you say you're relaxing, but really you're still doing the dishes, folding the laundry, cleaning up after the kids....that is not resting.  It's what we have to do in the stage we are at (needy kids at 2 & 4) but once in while we really. really. really. need to rest.

I'm looking for a good fiction book recommendation, anyone have any?

Have a fabulous Monday! 

Weekend

It's Monday! I'm a little late to the game here...

We had a morning full of snuggles and no where to be.

It's damp and dreary, and I have no desire to leave.

We had a nice little weekend;

it didn't go as expected, but we made the most of it!

I finally got my vision board AND hung my first vision.

It's of course the house of our dreams, and though ours won't look exactly like this,

it's a really good motivator and I thoroughly enjoy looking at it!

I'm Spring cleaning in full force around here.

I've been going through all of the bins of baby clothes, sorting and figuring out where to donate.

I brought the kids to my sister's for a sleepover Saturday night.
I then headed to Trader Joe's and got a few things; it's just not an easy place to bring two littles!

We were supposed to go out to eat, but Joe's not feeling great.

He ended up being stuck at work and didn't even get home until almost 7, 

which would have been our reservation time anyway. 

While I was waiting for him to get home, I decided to try  Fabletics out.

I'm kinda stoked about 2 years free of Women's Health Mag

                                       SO we stayed in, had sushi and watched a movie. I don't remember where I saw someone rave about this movie, but it was really good! I wasn't too sure at first, but stick with it!  Super powerful and really speaks to any woman who is out there getting her hustle on.  Good things happen when we work for things and don't give up.  I highly recommend this movie!!

{Brunch}

We decided since we didn't go out to dinner Saturday night, we would hit up our favorite Brunch spot:
The Revelry

I couldn't even finish my brunch, but it was tasty!

I had to save room for mimosas!

My sister and my brother-in-law met us back here with the kids.

We hung out and cooked a delicious dinner {thanks Ann!} 

Chicken Francese

Since it did not feel like Spring and we had a little bit of firewood left, we had "our last fire" I feel like I've already said that, but it's true!!

Bubs was helping Daddy

How was your weekend?!

The Intern

I somehow convinced hubby to watch this movie with me a few weeks ago.  I didn't realize it was by the same director that did The Holiday, but I'm not surprised that I loved it!!  The last few movies we've chosen, he's fallen asleep, so I didn't feel too bad picking this knowing that if he did fall asleep, it wouldn't be the movie!

Anyway, he did stay awake but I have to say, the first few minutes of the movie, I was a blubbering mess!!!   I did not see that coming...I'm not trying to ruin the movie by any means, but here is what was going through my head.

Here's an old man in his 70's who worked his whole life, married the love of his life, had a son, a gorgeous home and had everything that most of us dream to have...

However, like I mentioned, he is 70.  His wife had passed.  He retired.  His son moved away to a different state with his family, and he was all alone.

It struck me as I watched him routinely sit alone, read a paper, drink his coffee in silence.  One day, that will be me.  Or it will be Joe. And holy cow, that is so scary!!  Now, I know we will are all going to grow old and one day die, that is not my point.

My point is, enjoy the now.  There are days I so badly want sit alone and read blogs & drink my coffee hot.  But I usually end up getting up off the chair 10 times to fix a toy, change a diaper, grab a juice, offer a snack, and end up re-heating my coffee.

I know that I always tell myself to slow down and enjoy the now, but seeing this movie just made it that much more of a reality!    Don't get me wrong, I am certainly the type of mom who needs breaks. Nights out. Days off.  Hour here or there to myself.  But in the day to day, I just want to make sure I am enjoying the crazy.  The messes.  The spills.  The peanut butter foot and hand mask that my daughter gave herself last week.  I couldn't even yell at her because it was just funny and weird and why would you do that?!  Yes, dipping her hands in water and then smearing peanut butter.  I wasn't sure how to clean it off at first as it just kept smearing and sliding!

I wish I had snapped a photo, but it was one of those moments I know I won't forget.  Life as a mom. Motherhood.  Crazy toddlers.

Digressing...but seriously, the movie was excellent and gave me a perspective that I needed to be reminded of.

Perhaps it's because my parents are divorced and both still work.  My grandparents are no longer around.  I'm not really that close with anyone who is living that type of life...so to see it staring at me in the face, that was powerful.



I believe we watched it for a reason and that it gave me an extra skip in my step as I pick up the books Bradley has dumped over for the second time in one hour.  Or the energy to run 5 errands, carefully buckling and unbuckling both carseats each time we needed to get in or out.

It's a season, I know this.   Soon they'll be off at school and we'll have other things consuming our days, and I'll miss the moments where I hear "No mommy!" and the door slams shut and both kids giggle.

I'm going to miss this.

I know.

Moms' Night Out

Mamas.  Whether you are a working mom or a stay at home mom, do yourself a favor, grab your best girlfriend and go see this movie.

Based on the title alone, as soon as I heard about it, I texted my friend Alison [mom of twins] and said, "I wanna go see this movie!"  She said she did as well, and on a Tuesday night, {almost two weeks after said text} we made that happen.

Based on the preview and the ratings, I didn't expect much…but I cannot tell you how HAPPY we were we got out to go see it.

Yes, it's super cheesy and anyone who hasn't had a child may not appreciate all of the subtle, or not so subtle humor.  It was a tad heavy on the religion side and it was PG so no swearing or inappropriate language…and honestly? That was fine. 

We were laughing within a few moments of the opening scene and all the way til the end.  There were some far fetched ideas, but overall, it was just what us mamas needed.

I had to laugh because upon entering the theater, one would expect that it would be rather desolate on a Tuesday night.  I mean really; who goes to the movies on a Tuesday?  Ok, moms do.  PLUS, they were $3 tickets ha score!!

We had to wait in line and I noticed there were tons of women in line for popcorn, but I didn't think much of it…until we walked into our theater and I realized they were pretty much all here to see this movie.

Not one male.

Moms from all walks of life; the PTSA type, who sternly marched off to go tell someone the projector wasn't working properly.  The frazzled hair in a messy ponytail and constantly checking her cell phone, mom.  The preppy cardigan, short 'mom haircut' and white purse mom.  Moms with their moms, so technically grandmas. Rows and rows of moms.

Oh yeah, and us.  Two thirty-something moms who left their hubbies in charge, while donning sweatshirt and tee, jeans, and flip-flops.  

The energy in the theater was pretty full of estrogen; but all of us had that thing in common:

MOM.

The movie was certainly a comedy; parts of my life played well right out on film, as to which I literally laughed out loud {especially at her hubby playing video games} and the amount that we could relate to these moments was undeniably, hysterical.  

However, this movie got a bit deeper than all the funny, stressed out parts of life we often don't know what to do with, but laugh.  It hit a part that I think EVERY mother needs to be reminded of…

So if you don't want me to ruin it for you, stop reading. If you don't care, then continue on…

*****

It was the part where the leading actress broke down crying and started saying how she wasn't enough. She wasn't enough for her friends, her husband, her children, her parents…and BAM.  I felt that.  I know every woman in that theater did too.  We as women exhaust ourselves, trying to be PERFECT.  We just want to make everyone happy and do everything right and be the best…and that is SO exhausting.  But the reality is, we are enough for all of those people.  Who we aren't  enough for, is ourselves.

WOW.

Truth, right?  How many times do you beat  yourself up for not having "the perfect dinner on the table when hubs gets home," or "The well behaved child in the grocery store," or "the bright lush green grass without dandelions and freshly mowed this spring," or perhaps, "the trendiest clothes with the most expensive bag".  It all means nothing if you're not happy inside.

They kept coming back to this live streaming of an eagle with her nest/egg/baby bird.  The symbol or even metaphor I suppose, was so simple and so effective; the eagle was enough.  Being a momma eagle to her little bird is all she knows; there are no tricks, no competition, nothing.  She was just doing all that she knew what to do, and she did it well.

So mommas, I'm here to say, be the eagle.  Just be the best you, you can be.  Isn't that what we will {or do} teach our children?  Why do we forget to tell ourselves that?  

A few weeks ago, I felt like I was spinning and going crazy. I couldn't figure out what end was up and I just kept saying out loud, "Something has to give." And so I did.  I stopped beating myself up and started just being a mom.  Just loving my little girl and giving her all that I could, day in and day out, on top of being a wife, daughter, sibling, friend, and taking care of myself.  I realized yet again, life is what you make of it.  Sometimes we need to listen to our inner voices, the universe, God, whatever.  And stop trying so hard, and just start being.

You are enough.

Our crazy fast paced, face booking, twittering, instagramming, selfie state of our world is spinning so fast. Learn to stop, breathe and just be.

No matter how put together or perfect you think another momma is, she could very well be trying to handle a chipmunk situation, with a BB gun, while neighbors look on, a little frighten, while kiddos bathe in a tub.

:)

For real though, not to get all super cheesy, but just know we are all in this together.  I know that my mom did the best she could, and my husband's mom did the best she could, and I will do the same.  We live, we learn, and we should really always be helping one another out. But first, you must help yourself. They even used the oxygen mask theory in the movie, which both my husband and mom have told me before.  You are of no use to anyone, if you're not taking good care of you first.

So those are my thoughts on that.  It's good to get off Pinterest and Instagram once in awhile.   We only see snippets of real life and they are all glamour and great [usually].  Life is beautiful, but it's messy. Full of poopy diapers, muddy paw prints running through a freshly mopped floor, and overgrown eyebrows.

Just roll with it.

Find something to bring you back to peace.

You are enough.

What I'm Watching

Since I'm still killing time

{and trying not to focus all on baby...

it's like watching a pot of water boil}

I'm not usually a huge TV person;

I love the Food Network and The Cooking Channel.

That's what I mostly watch/have on the TV.

But, since there's not a whole lot else I can do besides

play online,

read books,

and patiently wait...

Here's a few shows that have caught my eye.

I'll start with a few that I am oddly excited about watching:

I really only love Jillian Michaels.

I'm also interested to see how they tackle the whole overweight children concept.

I feel strongly about good health and I love JM's passion.

{And her kick-ass workouts I cannot wait to get back into!}

You can see some of my favorite workouts posted here...
I know it will motivate me, once I get the clear to workout hardcore again!!

 I always enjoy the first few episodes...

hubs and I may or may not make inappropriate commentary as the 

"young classy ladies" exit the limo and meet their potential future husband.

I love the dresses and some of the cattiness. 

No lie.

 I'm happy that Revenge starts back up!

We definitely get into her twisted plot of avenging her father's death.

"Our Show"

is definitely Modern Family.

Gloria is having her baby Wednesday

#maybeiwillhaveminetoo

We just love all the characters and laugh so hard every episode.

Our other "new" show is How I Met Your Mother

We ordered Netflix through our PS3

and had never seen this show.

I don't even know which season we are on,

but we are completely addicted and love love love this show!

I love Ted's quirkiness and my husband finds Barney hysterical.

Awesome show.

  Guilty Pleasures:

Pretty Little Liars

 Since having Netflix,

we can now stream it through our phones/ipads...

Sweet!
I jumped on this cheesy chic drama bandwagon.

It's pretty ridiculous but something to pass the time.

 I still keep up with my Real Housewives...

I'm not really loving any of the women or episodes,

but I do like all their fancy bling,

over-sized homes,

fancy cars,

crazy lifestyles...

And the train-wreck that is Miami

Joanna is super pretty,

but man is she a drunken mess!

I feel like these women just get more and more fake...

I liked that they got away for a bit to the Bahamas,

but I find myself questioning why I'm even watching this garbage??

Again, I blame the pretty outfits, fun hair, and lavish lifestyles.

I DVR Dr. Oz

and find that I do learn quite a bit from him.

I take it all with a grain of salt; 

if you took a vitamin or ate everything he talks about on the show,

you can drive yourself insane.

I do try to take most of it and apply it to our lives,

and it helps to watch a show like this from time to time to educate myself.

In other viewing news...

Hubs and I went to a movie on Saturday.

I was really anxious to get out of the house,

and get out of my mind!!

I appreciate anything that will distract me these days.

So, I chose the movie

This is 40.

My husband said it was the scariest movie he's ever seen,

and I have to agree;

it was not that funny!
It was actually quite sad...

and taught us all about how we don't want to parent our children,

how we don't want to treat one another,

and how messed up families can really be!
Not saying we are perfect,

because we aren't,

but we are genuinely happy people and that movie was just a crock.

We laughed a few times, but not worthy of a theater ticket...

I don't know, I just expected really funny and it disappointed.

I was happy to get out of the house though!

And probably most importantly this week will be

Saturday at 8pm:

The playoffs.

Joe's already coaching Brooke that she better come before

or after this big game!!

We'll see what she has in store.

Anything else out there I should be watching?

Hopefully I won't have much time soon,

but for now...

Holiday Advice for Couples

This is a post I shared last year over at
Holly's blog
I figured with the craziness approaching, it's a nice reminder!

We made through round one of the holiday season...
Woooooo

Another successful Thanksgiving as a married couple.
As soon as the first holiday rolled around, my then boyfriend, now husband,
and I made the decision to spend them together.
None of this, I'll go here, you go there.
He was my family, and obviously still is.
 We knew no matter who's family we were going to be spending the day with,
we'd be spending it together.

So here are some {first hand experience}
tips to make this upcoming holiday your least stressful yet!

Do not:
try to make everyone happy.
There is no way that every person in your life will be pleased about what you're doing.
{Apply this in every day life too.}
You will make family members unhappy, or at least a little miffed,
 if you can't spend that actual holiday with them.
You can't blame them though, you are fabulous, aren't you??
Well alright then, of course they want to be around you!
 It just may not be humanly possible to be everywhere, at once.
 Remember this: the only person you can truly make happy is you.
 Period.
 If you're happy, then yay!
You're well on your way to an awesome holiday!!

Do: 
Begin by asking, what will make you happiest on Christmas Day?
Is it waking up at your parents house?
How about his parents' home?
What about your own home, making a fire in the fire place and having a quiet, serene morning
 {sans kids yet!} and enjoying that simplicity {for now}?
 Whatever it is, talk about it with your significant other and make it happen.
 This is about your life.
**This year we are planning on just staying home.
We are not sure when baby girl will arrive, so we very well may be
celebrating Christmas in the hospital?
We will see!!**

Do not:
try to be superheroes.

We tried to eat a full Thanksgiving dinner at my parents and then his parents our first year together.
We were so full and rushed, it just was just not a great combo.
Nothing ever seems to go as planned,
so be sure that you allow extra time,
{for let's say, certain happenings, such as someone putting the turkey in the freezer,
not the fridge a few days before Turkey Day.}
Dinner took a little bit longer that day!
Christmas brunch with my dad's side ran a little late one year
and by the time we made it an hour back to our house,
 people were already waiting in the driveway for us to make Christmas dinner!
{Stressssssful!}

Do: 
Compromise.
We have started alternating holidays.
 One year with his parents, one with mine.
It does make it tricky with divorced parents, or family far away.
 Simply rotate each year,
and still make time for family gatherings even if it's not "Christmas Day,"
it's still time together, which is most important.

OR 

Just host and invite everyone.
Whoever wants to show up, will!
 {We may do this next year, as I'm ready to cook my own turkey!!}

Do:
 remember that family always loves you and thinks of you no matter what.
A specific date on the calendar makes us all a little crazy.
If we can't be in several spots at once,
just stop by a day early and drop off a small gift
{bread if you can bake, a craft if you're creative, flowers, anything!}
 To me, family is more than just being related by blood.
Friends whose hearts are warm and deep,
are often times closer than any of our relatives.
 Make time for them too!

Do:
Start new traditions.
The holidays are a time for old traditions,
 but they all start form some place.
 Find what works for you, and run with it!
We invited his family and some friends over for Christmas dinner one year and I cried I was so happy.
  I finally felt like I found "Christmas" again after many years being single
and working through my parents' divorce,
I'll never forget the magic I felt with a house full of people,
a table full of food, holiday cheer, Christmas carols playing,
 and presents being unwrapped.
I won't let go of that now that I've started!!
 I love love love Christmas Day dinner!


Do not:
Remotely or completely freak out if things don't go as planned.
Life happens and it's not always perfect!
If you burn the main course or if the smashed potatoes are still cold, is it worth tears and frustration?
I'm sure you had a half a dozen other sides or snacks that most people won't hardly notice.
Don't blow minor mishaps up into negative memories.

Trust me, I want everything to run perfectly 100% of the time,
 but setting a bar like that is ridiculous.
Now, my main goal is to be sure that I'm having fun & not stressed.
 If I'm good, I've noticed others are too!
 Focusing our energy like that does wonders for one another.

Do:
Laugh it off.
 If something happens, just laugh.
It's the best reaction.
If you haven't seen the movie
 Four Christmases, I highly suggest you rent it! 

And if none of this advice works, then simply go away for the holiday.
Seriously.
Our first Easter together, we were so stressed out over who's house to go to,

which restaurant, who's turn, bla bla  bla.
We went to Toronto and had a ball!  That was 2008.
Since then we've spent Easter away, just the two of us.
Two years ago we were flying home from our cruise.
 Last year we flew home from Charleston, SC.
I understand Christmas is a bigger deal,
but don't lose sight of what's most important in life: spending time with loved ones.
Don't wait for the man in the big red suit
 to remind you to have a meal with people whom you love.
  Make it happen all year round.
Happy Holidays!

My Weekend Update

Hello lovelies!

How was your weekend?
I made the best I could out of mine, 

as my hardworking hubby is working so much lately.

It's their annual Fall Tent Event so he won't have a day off until Friday...

They're all in a large tent, in a mall parking lot, and have no heat!!

He literally got home Saturday night at 9:30,

and after freezing all day,

he built our first fire to just warm up for a bit.
Holly loves the fire!

 He's been layering with Under Armor and using his hunting hand warmers.

I'll bring him up a hot lunch today.

As for how I've stayed busy?
Oh yah know,

caught up on this season's Glee

[I'm loving that Rachel & Kurt are off in NYC and Kate Hudson is my hero haha j/k]

 {google images}

I met with my college girlfriend Ann on Saturday for our annual shopping trip.

We live about 2 1/2 hours away from each other, 

so we try to meet halfway.
We've been total slackers and haven't seen each other since last December!!
So it was long over due, and I missed her.

Jammin on my way there...

We had so much fun!
Soup & Salad combo at the OG

super sales at Baby GAP, Children's Place
I may have added a cute pair of ballet flats
 to Baby Girl's ever-growing shoe collection:

 Aaaand my first trip to Ulta.

::::cue heavenly ahhhhhhhhhh sound:::::

My first purchase:
Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette

Which everyone apparently owned on instagram but me!

I am so happy with this buy.

And from the sounds of it, everyone else who has it loves it too!
I wore it yesterday to meet up with my friend Kristin {a makeup guru}

and she even complimented me!
Woo hoo.

I just love the silly inappropriate names too.

I met up with K yesterday and we caught a matinee--

so cheesy and fun:

After the movie, hubs was on his way home from work... 

So when I got home, he had another fire built! 

We snuggled and watched the 49ers crush the local favorite team, the Bills.

I made stuffed shells.

He played Madden.

I watched addicting pregnancy & mommy vlogs.

We called it a night.

Tomorrow is my man's birthday!

He works all day, but I plan on making him a special dinner.

All he wants is to be home. 

All the money in the world cannot buy the love and happiness we have for each other.

I work very hard at making our home peaceful, happy, and calming.

I am so blessed to be with such a wonderful man.

Remember to hold your loved ones tighter and never let anyone take your happiness away.

A Cute Movie & Football Sunday Ready!!

We had a low key Friday night with early bird Fish Frys 

and a cute little movie.

google images

I saw that it had a 3 out of 5 star rating, so I didn't expect much.

It was a little on the slow side, but I liked it.

Hubs laughed quite a bit at some of the silly man-humor

{that I don't really find funny, but I love to hear him laugh!}

Definitely a RomCom and nothing more than that.

No tears or true heartfelt emotions, just something to watch...

other than him play Madden '13!

I liked the main character; 

she's pretty and had some adorable style throughout the movie.

I am happy we didn't go to the theater, 

but I'd recommend watching it with some popcorn on the couch.

It's pouring rain here now,

as I sip my English breakfast tea and get ready for my pre-natal yoga.

I'll be making a stop at BJ's to pick up some food goodies for tomorrow.

Football is back woo hoo!
Never in a million years would I have ever thought how excited I'd be to watch football.

Last year was a true breakthrough;

I learned more about the game, players, etc.

and my husband's team 49ers did pretty damn well.

Let's do it again boys, and make it all the way this time!!

I have my garden flag & new maternity shirt all ready to rock.

google images

My sister & bros are comin over for a little gathering tomorrow.

Good times.

Happy Weekend!!

What I'm OK with Today

Woooo It's already Thursday!!

Just a few rando thoughts crossing my mind this beautiful morning...

• My new fall pedi. I'm ready for the cooler weather!

 We'll Always have Paris.  

Le sigh. 

And yes, we will, as well as Rome, Amsterdam...

• That I'm mostly ready so I can switch up my wardrobe since I am getting a tad bored with tanks & panel shorts! I cannot wait to wear more scarves & cardis...and boots 
• But I also cannot wait for Pumpkin Spice Lattes--I heard September 4th they return?!
• I'm counting down the days until I can decorate for fall {hubs isn't ready yet!}

 A few new Jo-Ann's purchases 40%!

• To have made comfort food a lot this week; ie: Linguine w/ clam sauce, Pot Roast, Ribs -recipe
• To send good luck and positive thoughts to my sister on her knee surgery today
• That I may have bought a few or quite a few clothes for my baby girl this week!
• To not find it weird that I'm so excited to wash her clothes & fold them up!! 
• That I can't believe we're already halfway there to meeting little baby Brooke!
• I've never been so excited to pick out carpeting, paint colors, & such.
• To be researching a mini weekend babymoon, since our original plans didn't work out...ideas?
• That I'm NOT down with the high temps again this weekend; boo!
• To be hungry all.the.time. 
• To hope we get to go out on a date night again soon!
• That I think Joe & I should switch sides of the bed so I have easier access to la toilet
• To hope that baby girl gets used to Holly barking at everything walking by outside!
• I am loving these tasty bagels right now--

• To wonder why my neighbor across the street has a garage sale on a Thursday? She did it a month ago too...not like a Thurs-Sun or even Thursday & Friday. Just one day...seems odd.
