The Friday Five.

1.  This is what is currently occupying my mind.  I have TONS more swatches and several more on the way.  But, holy COW...it is SO hard for me to make a decision.  We just got this chair from my parents who won't be using it anymore and I would like to cover it soon.  Now if only I could decide WHAT to cover it in... I've enlisted Ashley's help and she's the bomb at putting fabrics together...now I just need to close my eyes and pick ONE!


2. Pretty pumped that we are finally about to order our new sectional for the den!  Yippee!  Our current couches will relocate to the upstairs bonus room.  We are getting the Henry sectional (with a coupon and tax money!) from West Elm in the performance velvet stone color (gotta get something good for kids!)...so yeah, gray walls, gray couch, and gray rug.  Definitely need lots of color in my two upholstered chairs and coffee table/ottoman...which is why I am so indecisive about picking out the (above) fabric...it's a BIG deal and I want it to look amazing and be something I will like for a long time. (okay, at least 5 years if I am being honest!)

3.We are heading to Beaufort soon for the first time in a while and it is MUCH needed.  So looking forward to a LAID back weekend in my favorite place on earth.

4.  I've got a new obsession for lunch lately...  and it involves the following:



So basically, I'm just making my own yogurt parfait. But, I'm loving it.  I LOVE the frozen strawberries.  I know I should add more fruit, but I'm not a huge blueberry fan and I don't know what else to put in there.  I, of course have snacks to go with it, but it does keep me pretty full. 


5.  We've got a JAM packed weekend ahead.  Tonight we are spending the night with my parents to prepare for a yard sale at their house in the morning...it's one of those "the whole neighborhood participates" type things so it should be huge.  Apparently we need to be ready for customers by 6 am...blah.  I don't wake up that early during the week.  YUCK.  But, after that we are headed downtown to enjoy the St. Patrick's Day festivities (parade, family fun park, food vendors, live music, etc.)  We will probably skip out on the bands/get hammered/all day drinking portion this year...but it should be very fun to take Collins to the other activities.  We have a birthday party Saturday afternoon and my niece's birthday party Sunday!  Throw in a good dinner/happy hour with friends Saturday and church Sunday and BAM, just like that it will be Sunday evening.  Oh well...it'll be fun:-)

Happy weekend!

xoxo

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
