Hey-o, it’s Friday! Here’s what’s been on my mind this week…
one.
This girl has been full of hilariousness lately. I have written something down in her quote journal almost every night this week, but this was one of my favorites:
“Mom, when I grow up I want to be an astronaut. Or a person that pierces babies’ ears.”
You go girl…dream big!
two.
Now that we’ve been in our house for a year and a half, I’m starting to get an itch to decorate and “finish” the things that we left undone after Nash was born. One thing I’d love to do is wallpaper the powder room on the first floor. (In non-fancy terms: our first floor bathroom!!)
I’m totally swooning over these two wallpaper choices…
three.
Okay, let’s talk Bachelor. Holy-Moly. I honestly have to say that was one of the “most dramatic episodes yet”. First Ben sending Jubilee home and then the Olivia drama…wowza! That girl though…she has got to go. Like so many others (and Ben), she was my first choice after episode 1…but now she’s a total swimfan. Am I right?!
I’m cheering for Caila and Lauren B. right now. What about you?
four.
Nash has earned himself a new name this week: grumpy pants. I think he must be in the middle of a developmental leap because he just has not been himself. When Chris told me he was going to have another late night at work last night I was only partly kidding when I asked if I could drop Nash off at the office with him 😉 Luckily though, I got a text from my mom shortly afterwards asking if they could stop by. Um, YES! Within minutes of my parents arriving Nash was like a completely different kid. Laughing and playing like himself again! Thank you Gigi and Papa for saving the day–and my sanity! This was Mr. Grumpy Pants by the end of the day…
five.
Confession: Sometimes I buy clothes on Amazon (yep, I’m basically a fashion blogger, folks! 😉 ) And sometimes they turn out to be really cute. Take these flannel shirts, for instance. I can never seem to find button-up or flannel shirts that are long enough for me, but these are–and I was totally impressed by the quality. I got a 3XL (which made me giggle…hello Asian sizing!). I could’ve sized down but I actually like the extra room for a more relaxed look. And yes, I realize that I could potentially match my wallpaper someday. Maybe I’ll use it as camouflage to hid from cranky toddlers 😉
Have a great weekend y’all!
Hahaha the shirts are super cute and toddler camouflage sounds like a potential business venture 😉 Ben has been going through something too. The tantrums are at an all time high. He hates being contained in anything (stroller, cart, car seat, etc) so basically keeping him safe in anyway causes a meltdown haha. Happy Friday!
A person that pierces babies’ ears, I want to be that! She is just so cute! Kids say the darndest things 🙂 I love those flannels, may just have to snag a 3XL for myself! Hope you have a great weekend!!
Haha!! That first Arden quote is so funny!
I really want to wallpaper our first floor half bath too and I love the ones you picked!!
Also the Bachelor… Olivia (and her cankles) are crazy!
Oh The Bachelor…WHAT.A.MESS! Haha. I love that it’s like a train wreck that I just can’t turn away from. I find myself cheering for JoJo. Happy Weekend!
Hi! I’m a fellow KC mom (Prairie Village) who is relatively new to the area and I have yet to find a hair stylist that I love. Your hair looks fantastic and I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing where you get it done?
Thanks for your help!
LOVE that dark wallpaper with he gold confetti!! We have just done a bold, green palm tree print in our bathroom and I love it!! So wish we could watch The bachelor now – I have to wait until it airs here… x
Oh, friend, you make me laugh! The shirt matching the wallpaper so that you can blend right in. Both are super cute though!!
Oh my gosh, I’ve ordered a few clothing pieces on Amazon…too funny! Love those flannel tops! LOVE your wallpaper choices!! Ours is red tartan plaid…we love it!! I kind of want to put fun wallpaper in every rom!!
It’s cabin fever, I’m telling you. Some days ate nightmarish. We miss playing outside!!! Last week’s tease wasn’t any help either.
I’ve been wanting to wallpaper my guest bathroom for a while now but haven’t taken the plunge! Love those wallpapers you shared 🙂

I love the wallpaper choices! I’m currently a Lauren B. fan! Jess at Just Jess
haha, so funny – love little kids’ sayings! My daughter thinks Netflix is ‘Neck Flakes.’ So funny, but kinda gross too!
Any chance we can see a pic with you in the Asian-sized plaid shirt? It’s super cute online, and I’m thinking you and I are similarly built…would love to see it on a real person to get an idea of how it fits.
That second wallpaper choice is SO PRETTY. I can’t wait to see more! and Arden… she’s hilarious. Olivia is the worst and seriously stalker status. Here’s to hoping she’s gone next week.
Oh, she is precious! Big dreams, that one!
Asian sizing!!! hahahhaha
Arden is beautiful and I love when the wittiness starts (unfortunately I’m in the sassy stage, oh 5 year old joys).
Nash seems to have a hilarious personality as well.
Happy weekend!!
BTW your 15 month checkup for Nash reminded my I never did one for Dean. Ha! So we went at 16 months yesterday, same big guy status 34.5 in tall and 29.2 lbs!
Your little lady is TOO cute! And that black plaid wallpaper – amazing! Happy to have found your blog through the group!
I LOVE both wall papers! Can’t wait to see which you decide on!
Also, Olivia is full speed ahead on the crazy train to Nutsville. Seriously. Like you, I totally liked her in episode one and now I just want her gone! I am LOVING Lauren B and totally think she’s the one he picks!
LOVE those flannels! Also, love your little girl- such a cutie!
Love those wallpapers! The buffalo check is my fav! Hilarious, you are so a 3X, what?!?! Arden is just as cute as ever and Nash OMG that smile! Wish I could squeeze them both! PS-Owen’s been saying pretty hilarious things lately, too. Today he asked me if Marley( our dog) has boogers?!?! #boymom
That polka dot wallpaper — SWOON! I vote yes 100% do it 🙂
