the Friday five

1.   Dress obsessed.  I LOVE the fit of this dress. It has become my go to summer dress.  It’s comfy, I think it can be dressed up or down and it is flattering.  All the necessities in my book.  I now own three, I love them so much.

The Monterey tank dress:



 

2.     Date night.  Our house is a disaster.  Like, woah.  My parents (who are also moving…this is the second time we’ve moved at the same time as them) are living with us for two weeks.  Their move sucks b/c there rental isn’t ready quite yet but they close on their house today…so they are homeless for two weeks.  So my parents have had to lug half their crap to our house (amongst all our many boxes and chaos) only to lug it out again in two weeks into their rental.  So yeah…my house is total chaos right now. We have LOTS of packing to do…three weeks out from closing.  BUT, we are saying the HELL with it, tonight.  Mikey and I are treating ourselves to a fancy date night…can’t wait. 

 

3.     We are counting down the days until our week long beach vacation.  One of my favorite weeks of the year.  Although it isn’t quite a “vacation” when you take three young children…spending a full week with my babies and husband is exactly what a vacation is to me these days.  We will have no plans, no schedules, no work.  We will hopefully have long days, lazy nights, and fun memories. 

 

 

4.     My boys had their first ever “camp/preschool” experience this week with church camp.  MELT my heart.  There were tears EVERY morning at drop off…BUT, good reports at the end of the day!  It is a big transition for them as they have been going to Weezie’s (the lady who keeps my kids in her home) for the past two years and that is all they’ve ever known.  They are going to start going to 2 year old preschool in the fall two days a week so I thought this would be a good little warm up for them.  My precious stinkers, love them so.

  


5.     House dreaming.  We are still in the due diligence/inspection phase of this house process and nothing is final yet as the house has a LOT of issues, including asbestos.  So, that could be a deal breaker b/c it’s expensive to have abated BUT that doesn’t stop me from dreaming.  This is where my head is at for inspiration for our next house….



Happy weekend!! Off to enjoy date night, snuggling and playing with my babes, some lake time and lots of packing!!

Cheers!

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...
