the Friday five

Having Monday off work is amazing, but it also makes me feel like my work week just started and it’s already FRIDAY!! WHAT?!!  Not complaining though!

 

1.     Busy weekend ahead, we started off with another gala last night for Mikey’s work…have a wedding tonight and a wedding shower Saturday night!  Thank goodness we have grandparents close by for the babysitter rotation or otherwise we’d go broke. But, the kids did say they had a blast with their babysitter, Ms. Shelby last night…so that’s always a good thing.

 

 

2.     The house is moving along, quickly!  Thank goodness for that!  We are still living in chaos, mainly because the floors will be one of the last things to be installed and until then everything is in disarray.  BUT, our countertops were installed yesterday (WOOOHOOO to that!), the painter continues knocking out rooms and the bathroom is getting tiled this weekend! 

  




3.     I saw this picture on Instagram from a builder…I am OBSESSED with that island color, and you know what?!  They won’t tell me what it is!  I don’t get that… I understand designers not sharing everything, but it’s paint!  They didn’t design the paint.  URRRGGHHH.  Pretty sure I am going with RAINWASHED by SW on the island, just not sure if we will do it at full color or 50%. 

  



4.     I MADE A DECISION ON LIGHTING.  WHAT!?? That’s huge for me.  HUGE.  I ordered our dining room light, master bath vanity lights and the pendants for over the island.  Really hope they all look good!

 

  Island pendants: 



 


5.     I’m chopping my hair today.  As much as I wish I did, I just don’t have the texture for long hair…it just winds up looking limp. And I also don’t take the time to “do” my hair…so therefore, that doesn’t help either.  But, that’s not changing.  I’m just not the person who spends a ton of time getting ready, I’d rather sleep later in the mornings or keep playing with my babies other times.  It just ain’t gonna happen, so I’m going for a shorter do…wish me luck!

 

Happy weekend!!


Xoxo

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...

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...
