We have been cramming so much into these last few weekends. We have one more as a threesome before my mom joins us for #babywatch! Friday started like any other weekend – with homemade pizza. I can’t remember why, but it was super late before we got Emerson to bed, and I was exhausted making the pizza at nearly 9pm. I told Matt I have one more weekend of pizza-making in me, but then we are switching to delivery so…
-I’m attempting to re-upholster a $50 ottoman from Homegoods with a stapler this weekend, so wish me luck -I saw this idea about introducing an older child to a new baby, but not sure I’d have the energy to take the toddler searching for the baby:) If you’ve had two children, did you do anything special for the introduction? -Newborn diapers are en route to my house so things are getting real. -I love back-to-school season – we had meet the…
What a treat to have an extra day to the weekend. I always kinda forget about these long weekends until they are here and it was WONDERFUL to have an extra day with Matt to do all the fun things. We kicked off the weekend with two Mellow Mushroom pizzas and then went straight to bed because we were both exhausted. I was on my phone the minute I opened my eyes on Saturday to see if Move That…
This summer, no two days have been alike! While I loved the fun and flexibility of summer, I’m excited to get back into the rhythm of the school year. Plus, I think Emerson is happiest when she has some days with friends/school and some days with mom. Here’s a day in our life this week: 6:25 – Emerson’s is crying – this is an hour earlier than her typical time and I am soooo tired (Matt’s traveling & Em was…
How was your weekend? This week is dragging slowly because Emerson is sick and Matt is traveling. But, we had a wonderful weekend with some incredible fall-like weather! We had our porch screen in last week and we spent a ton of time outside enjoying the space over the weekend. At one point we even had to bring blankets outside because it was so cold! I am in love with the porch and am sooo happy we did it. We…
I got a few questions in response to my call for post topics & ideas, so I thought I’d answer them here. I’ll also plan to do a few more day-in-the-life posts since a few people requested them. — How are you prepping for baby #2? I wrote this post about what I’m doing to prep for baby #2. I’ve made a ton of progress on both of those lists, but still have a few things to do (pack hospital…
We continued the theme of home improvement over here this weekend. We worked all day Saturday, and I was so tired by Saturday night that I could barely find the energy to go out on a date with Matt. We knocked so many things of our to-do list, though, so we had a Sunday funday that involved a movie and a concert. Matt worked from a co-working space on Friday, so we kicked off the weekend with a trip to…
-We decided to screen in our porch! I figure we’ll be spending a lot more weekends at home and I’ve dreamed of having a screened in porch as long as I can remember. I’m so excited to see how it looks (hoping it doesn’t make our living room too dark) and to hang out outside when it’s no longer 90+ degrees -Speaking of fall temps, I’m SOOOO excited for fall clothes and normal clothes. I actually don’t mind maternity clothes…
It was so nice to have a lot of down-time at home. Although we didn’t have many plans, it quickly turned into a busy weekend. Back up to last week – Emerson did the rapid results swimming lessons all week and she LOVED it. And I loved staying dry and watching the expert work with her. She put her head under the water for the first time and seemed really comfortable in the water. Em was kinda off all week…
