fun facts friday

May 24, 2013

1. Do you know what rocks? The last week of school. Oh my goodness – there are so many fun things going on, so many projects that the kids are working on, and I actually feel relaxed. Today is Field Day, and I always love it. However, I think I’m going to have to have someone come and relieve me a few times because I don’t know how I’ll do on my feet all afternoon long.

2. TWO MORE WAKEUPS!!! (Have I annoyed you with that enough yet?)

3. I’m happy to say that we are taking some time this weekend and heading off to Michigan with some family. Even though the forecast doesn’t look too great for this weekend (kind of chilly), I’m glad to just get away. And Charlie will be happy that my brother will be staying with him. That dog loves everyone.

4. Speaking of Charlie, he scared the heck out of John the other night. Charlie is actually not too much of a barker (which we LOOOOOOOOOVE), and when he does bark, it’s this pathetic whisper of a bark (unless he sees the mailman). John was sitting on our couch on Wednesday, and Charlie was like three inches away from his face. Charlie let out this loud howl of a bark at absolutely NOTHING. John’s face was priceless. Oh man, it was great.

5. I made cookies last night…. gluten free chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I haven’t made these for about a year and a half….. ohhh myyyy gosh. I am trying not to stuff my face with them before we hit the road.

6. I’m not going to lie, I’m probably not going to resurface in the blog world until next Thursday. We’re going to get home late Monday night, I have on Tuesday night, and I don’t think I’ll be able to sit down and write anything until Wednesday night. Baby update will be late – you have been warned.

7. I was a total pregnant cliché yesterday. I wasn’t able to leave the grocery store without a jar of pickles in my hand. Then I ate about five of them in my car. Yeah, not going to apologize for that one.

8. You know how last week I couldn’t get any sleep at all? Now this week I can’t get ENOUGH sleep. I slept through my first alarm yesterday and was shocked when I finally opened my eyes. Give me more sleep!

9. Last weekend I became obsessed with Gossip Girl. I’m always like five or six years behind on shows. I’m halfway through the first season, and I’m not going to lie – that is probably what my first week of summer will be devoted to.

10. Happy Friday!

My goodness – every Wednesday I have great intentions of taking pictures of my food… until I don’t do it. It’s probably better that I didn’t take pictures of my food today either because all I felt like eating was chocolate, vegetables, and peanut butter. Obviously I ate more than that, but today’s eating was [...]

All I can think about is the fact that at this time next week I’ll only have 1.5 more days left of school – and that I might not be back in August! It’s crazy to me to think about the fact that these two will be here before I know it. A few fun [...]

Over the course of the past six or so months, I have really shied away from doing product reviews. I get a lot of offers, but honestly – I know product reviews are some of the least liked of posts for me if that’s all a blogger does.I’d rather tell you all about products I’ve [...]

Sorry if you tried to get here yesterday – the site was down. I tried things by myself for a little while, but I always go to my web guy Ryan for help. Thanks Ryan! I guess I’m “officially” (not by my own terms ) halfway there! This past week has been kind of a [...]

1. I have come to the conclusion that we are going to hold the Guinness Record for biggest twins ever born. Okay not really, but I’ll share more in my post on Tuesday! 2. Creepiest things children have ever said to their parents. Ummmmm odd. 3. On Wednesday I was soooo tired. Like, ridiculously tired. [...]

I was totally going to post a WIAW this morning. Then, yesterday happened and I didn’t take any pictures of my food. Okay, I lied – I took a picture of the recipe I’m about to share with you. I use the term recipe pretty loosely here as well. It’s not so much a recipe [...]

experiences with ellie

May 8, 2013

I have been torn on a particular subject for quite some time now, and I think I finally have an answer for everyone. About six months ago, I developed a relationship with PV.Body (now turned Ellie!). I was approached by one of the team members about the possibility of becoming an ambassador for their brand. [...]

I’m sorry if you either didn’t get or didn’t like my little joke yesterday. There really is no exciting picture behind the loading screen and I also don’t have any exciting information to share with you today (unless you count baby updates exciting like I do ). Hopefully some of you understood what I was [...]
