Wow, it's been quite a while since I blogged!! I thought I'd catch up on happenings in our life by sharing some of my favorite things lately.
1) Breadwinners patio at northpark - with this great weather we have been out there twice in the past week! There is a great view of the garden at northpark and they have blocks (jenga), a wooden connect 4 game, and corn hole with bean bags that keep Libby entertained forever. We just get a table by the toys and she loves it!
2) Potato Express - steam pocket that cooks a baked potato in 4-6 minutes! You can also use it for sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, tortillas, etc. So amazing!! Thanks mom for passing on this gem!
3) LOFT maternity online! They have great sales pretty much every other week and some of the stuff even comes in petites. Plus you can return it in the store if it doesn’t fit.
4) The Disney Store at northpark - we went in there the other day and had so much fun!! They have a little theater area where they play Disney movie music videos and clips and they have a little table with crayons to sit and color. Plus, Libby LOVES looking at all the princess costumes and going into the little mirrored dress up area. You can wave a princess wand and that specific princess will show up in the mirror…it’s really cool. Libby got so excited to see Ariel..it was precious.
5) Haribo gummy bears - does that scream pregnant or what?!
6) My eye cream - I am having a terrible time sleeping this pregnancy which is so brutal and can lead to some lovely bags underneath my eyes…so needless to say I am even more grateful for my R+F eye cream these days!! I put it on twice a day, every day. Must have.
7) Being outside!! Libby and I are soaking up the sun these days. We were so over the cold, gloomy days. We’ve been swinging, sliding, blowing bubbles, playing with sidewalk chalk, dancing, having picnics, going for walks, going to the park, meeting daddy for lunch outside, jumping on the trampoline at YiaYia's…anything outside! We really want to get to the zoo and arboretum soon.
9) Smoothies! I got a little burned out on greek yogurt so I decided to throw it in the blender with frozen berries, a banana, a splash of OJ, a bit of honey, and some ice. Now I can’t get enough! Yum.
10) Lysol disinfectant spray - after we ALL got a stomach bug last weekend, I swear I used a whole can of this stuff all over our house! You can't throw your couch in the washing machine so this stuff is a must.
11) Cuddles - Libby has become SO cuddly lately! She is definitely in a mommy phase which can be a little exhausting when she wants me all the time…but I wouldn’t trade her cuddles for the world. Especially since I’m so used to her being such a busy body who never had time to sit still.
12) Libby ponies - she finally let me put a pony tail in her hair!! Eeeeek. So much cuteness. We're still working on sitting still long enough to make them look cute :)
13) “Working” for an awesome company & with awesome women…including one of my best friends!! We recently attended a Leadership Summit in Nashville and it was so great. I am beyond thankful for the encouragement, support & inspiration that these ladies are to me. Not to mention this is the reason I get to be home with my little bug!! What a blessing.
14) Valentine's Day! I'm not really a big Valentine's day person but I did love getting to send these little valentines to my awesome customers who support my business. And I also loved getting to make a little treat basket for Libby :)
15) This guy!! On his actual 32nd birthday he was taking care of me after I got the stomach bug. So after we recovered we got to go out on the town and celebrate the awesome man that he is! It started with a 30 minute foot massage at Foot Joy, Dinner at HG Supply Co, a Hopdoddy milkshake and ended with us seeing Lone Survivor. (I sobbed through the entire second half of that movie, but such an incredible story. Wow.) Anyway, so thankful for John Paul and all his love and service to our family. Libby and I are such blessed girls.
