The Friday five


Happy Friday, friends!!


A quick Friday five for ya....


1.       SICKNESS has overtaken us.  UGH.  Mikey came down with some sort of AWFUL virus Sunday night…it wasn’t the flu, but the symptoms were very similar…doctor said they’ve seen a ton of it this year…it seriously had him in bed for four days!  ALL of our babies have coughs, I hate it.  Especially the boys because there is NOTHING you can give themL  We’ve been doing nebulizer treatments and cranking up the humidifier with vapor rub in it…so pitiful.  And now…I seem to be coming down with another head cold…ick!  And we leave for the mountains today…not good timing.

2.       But, speaking of the mountains…we are excited about our weekend.   We all went in and rented a mountain cabin for Mikey’s mom as her Christmas present…all her children and grandchildren will be together for one weekend. We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend away.  

3.       Our Christmas present was delivered this week and I am in LOVE.  I had to ditch the bed skirt…but that’s okay.  I also have to get a new mirror as the previous one was too big…but I am so in love with our new bed…I feel like it’s a “grown up” bed:-)



4.       Collins has made her mind up that she wants a “jewelry” party for her 4th birthday.  I really wanted to do it AWAY from the house this year…but this is all she talks about, wanting to make necklaces and bracelets with her friends.  I just ordered a cute Melissa and Doug wooden jewelry making set to use…and will probably go to Michael’s and stock up on some more stuff.  I found these invitations and thought I could roll with it….



5.       We’ve got a BUSY 2016 so far….after a couple years with NO weddings, we have three in April and May…one being Mikey’s brothers that we are in and the other being my life long best friend that Collins and I are in!  I’m SO excited..she’s going to be a flower girl in BOTH, pray that shyness goes away for good by then!

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...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
