1. For those that don’t know, I watch my niece one day a week for my sister during the summer. Yesterday we hit a milestone in our relationship. When my sister got home, I gave the baby to her and then walked past them to get my Kindle. When I walked past, she reached for me! This is BIG news people. I took her, got so excited, and accidentally scared her.Whoops.
2. My husband is going to kill me for this, but I’m thinking it might be worth it. My sister in law posted it on Facebook yesterday —look how cute he was! My five year old niece is like a clone of that picture — it’s crazy.
3. Some things I noticed about this picture: my mother in law still has that egg scale. My husband apparently never has worn shirts in his life. The Husband’s love for Cap’n Crunch started young.
4. I STILL have yet to catch up with The Bachelorette from Monday night — this needs to change.
5. I have a play date with Katie tomorrow — yippee! I haven’t seen her since Memorial Day weekend!
6. I watched Justin Bieber Around the World yesterday — don’t hate. Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed that MTV has only started to promote him and his music? I guess he has graduated from the Disney Channel. Since you know, he’s all of 18 and all.
7. I want to bathe in these.
8. Love this headband!
9. I want to tattoo this onto my Husband’s arm so he sees it whenever he puts his head down on his forearm when I annoy him. It will brainwash him. Muahhaha.
10. And going with the marriage theme, this is a great blog post!
11. On Tuesday night, when I went to bed to read/go to sleep, I didn’t even need my reading lamp on because it was still light outside. #pathetic
12. The winner of the Love Grown is #42, Julie!!!! Congrats girl, email me!
13. It’s Friday — enjoy the weekend!

I love you Friday Facts! Don’t you just love finding old photos of your hubby? Melts my heart and makes me laugh every time. I want that headband too!
Yes – they’re super cute!
I went to bed at 9:30 on Wednesday – my husband’s friends came over at 10 and came in to say hello and good night. I’m such an old woman.
haha that sounds like me on some nights in college – my roomates would have people over and they would come tell me goodnight. In my defense, I was student teaching!!
Yay for play dates tomorrow!!! And what is an egg scale?
haha you put it on the scale, and it tells you if it’s a small egg, a medium egg, a large egg, or an extra large egg.
Ooooo I want one! Haha
jealous of your play date! wish i could be there!
we wished you could be there too!
i’m with Katie..what the flip is an egg scale?!!?
hahahaha see above!
Holy heavens— #12 Julie- THAT’S ME!
….Talk about an exciting way to begin a Friday! Thank you!
…..Your niece reaching for you- must have been a moment. I love connecting with my niece. It’s heavenly! …That headband is adorable- and it looks like it would actually say on a cute little girl!
Happy Friday!
Haha that pic of your husband is adorable! And I read that 118 marriage tips article- soooo good! Speaking of the biebs- my fiance turned that show on of his own accord last night haha…oh I love him
That’s fantastic. You found a winner, for sure!
Love the picture if your hubs. That is classic!
Hahaha hope your hubby doesn’t kill ya for that picture.
My husband always lovvees when I talk about him on the blog without warning him first haha!!
He hasn’t said anything yet and it’s been two days, so I think I’m okay.
Yes, it is Friday. And thanks, I’m already enjoying my weekend.
Back at ya!
Hey Chelsey!
Thanks for the mention – and I think my wife would def. want that same tattoo!
Stu
No problem!
haha i love that e-card. that is so me too (of course). and yes, that little headband is adorable!!
haha of course it is – we’re the same person, obviously.
I totally watched the biebs too. No shame
That baby headband is precious and don’t you just love it when a baby reaches for you, so sweet!
1. Your niece reaching for you makes my heart melt.
2. Husband pic is too great. He looks like he’s thinking, “Yea, I’m holding an egg. What about it?”
3. I want that headband for myself. Is that odd?
4. Thanks for the Stupendous Marriage link. I love reading anything uplifting regarding relationships/marriage. It can be hard to find sometimes, with so much negativity out there.
5. Have a rockin’ weekend!
I know, I want to make one of the headbands too!
That headband is totally cute. I want one in my size
The link shows you how to make one in big people sizes!
Awesome! Thanks so much, Chelsey!
I happen to love that there’s an open box of Cap’n Crunch and what looks to be Cocoa Krispies in that picture. At least they were fed properly
bahaha – that’s where his love of sugary cereals comes from!
Haha blogger’s husbands have it so rough. Any other guy would just get teased about old pictures… but blogger’s husbands get publicly embarrassed on the internet!
Poor guys, I know.
great post! haha, that photo is priceless. and wait until you see the Bachelorette episode — it was a goodie!! and this week sounds like it’ll be intense too! I can’t believe I’ve become a Bachelorette “groupie” — sheesh. haha
Happy Friday!
I watched it Friday night, I think – it was soo good!
Bahaha, that thing about being difficult and stubborn is awesome. I just posted it on my boyfriend’s Facebook wall!
haha love it!
Congrats Julie! I always love these Friday Facts. Photo throwbacks are so funny to look at. Love the egg scale!
Ahh, I need to find that card and send it to my husband
lol!
I want to make that headband for myself AND Emmie. Is it weird for us to match?? And seriously what is an egg scale?
No, mommy/daughter matching things are the best. The egg scale tells you if it’s a small egg, medium egg, large egg, or extra large egg.
Can we bathe together? I was also thinking those looked crazy good.
At first I was taken aback by that comment, until I remembered what I wrote. And yes, yes we can – swimsuits first please.
LOVE the marriage tips list:)
Congrats, Julie!
That baby headband is so adorable – and it sounds easy! Can’t wait to try it!
Have a great weekend!
My kids are starting to complain that its still light out when they go to bed! I wish it was close to light out when I finally go to bed but i cant seem to sleep before like 1230 lately! Good thing my babies sleep until 830 am
haha poor kiddos! Time for some black out shades!
this is a PRETTY salad.
how do girls 10 years my junior concoct such beautiful things without a batted eyelash?
i might be running to the grocery (after having just spent $40 on sushi because i’m still hungry!) for this evening’s consumption quota…
love love love number 9 as that is so true!!!
Going to bed when it’s still light out = no shame
That headband is adorable! I secretly love early bedtimes in the summer…summer mornings are my favorite and the only way to wake up early for one is to sleep a little when it’s light. It’s fine.
