the Friday five



 


1.     We were supposed to get snow this weekend, but pretty sure it’s not going to happen and it’ll just be FREEZING cold and GROSS outside.  Ugh. I went to the grocery store at lunch with a million other people, not because I was all “omg need milk and bread” but because I do not feel like going out again this weekend to buy groceries.

 

2.     We just started the planning process for my girl’s FIFTH birthday.  I can’t even.  This 5 number is the real deal…it’s the year of “real school” and I feel like once that starts...your baby is gone.  I hate it, I want her to stay this age FOREVER and EVER.  We are doing a joint party this year with one of her besties and mineJ A CHEERLEADING party, and the high school cheerleaders are going to come! I really hope all the girls love it.

  



 


3.     I’m obsessed with the kale salad at chick fil a, so I found this copycat recipe http://mommyshomecooking.com/copycat-chick-fil-a-superfood-salad/…hoping to start making it regularly…..you know, to get on the whole healthy eating train.  UGH.  I’m so frustrated, I’ve been doing Barre3 for about 4 months… I don’t go 4 times a week or anything…but I’ve been working out and that’s more than I can say for the past 5 years.  But, somehow I am the biggest I’ve ever been….i feel so gross.  So clearly, I need to add some running in with the barre classes and seriously re-work my eating habits.  I gave up diet coke again, starting January 1…I did it for 6 months last year and then somehow slowly got back to them.  Here’s to TRYING to stay healthy with eating and working out.  

 

 

 

4.     I’m trying to majorly purge our stuff…. I’m going through all of the kids old clothes and trying to sell/get rid of everything that they’ve outgrown.  We don’t have the storage space in this house to just let things sit…so OUT they go.  Purging is such a good feeling though! 

 

 

5.     Excited to start sharing some of our house soon…we have so much to do and I cannot wait!



Happy Friday!!

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

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...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
