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!!

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...
