It's not very often that I'm longing for a weekend to end...but I'm actually ready for Monday, and ready to hit the reset button. Chris was in Nashville all weekend for a bachelor party (and I was majorly jealous, because, HELLO...I want to go to Nashville!), and the kids and I were just in a funk. I really think 4th of July, the late bedtimes, and the copious amounts of sugar finally caught up with us all. Arden told me for the first time ever that she "wanted a new mom"...and then said ...
F.O.F.
So I've kind of neglected this little ol' blog the past couple of weeks...too much summer fun to be had, I suppose! We're crossing things off of our bucket list left and right, and having a great time doing it. So instead of a real, thought-out blog post for you today...I've just got the first 5 random things that come to my head. Aren't you excited?!? ;) one. Speaking of our summer bucket list, we finally got a slip n slide and put it to good use yesterday! My sister's kids and Arden played ...
The FOURTH
I'm a planner. I like to know what we're doing, when we're doing it, how we're going to do it...etc, etc. If you're thinking that I don't fly by the seat of my pants too well--then you'd be right. But every once in awhile, plans are derailed and I'm forced to just go with it. And to my surprise, those times often end up being some of the most memorable. Take our 4th of July weekend for example. We had big plans to go camping with my family (and by camping I mean stay in a cabin next to my ...
Thoughts for Thursday
Happy Thursday! Is it just me or has this week flown by? Maybe it's the anticipation of the holiday weekend...but I feel like I blinked and it's almost Friday! #notcomplaining So I need some help. I've been staring at this blank space on my wall for two years now...just waiting for the perfect piece of wall art to walk into my life. Well, since that hasn't happened yet, I've decided to take things into my own hands and do a little Etsy research. I think a long "farmhouse" sign would be ...
Our Magnolia Market Trip
Oh how I love a good road trip. Call me crazy, but I will usually choose driving over flying--as long as it's reasonable and we have the time, of course. I just like the adventure of driving...and, let's be honest, I love being able to pack as much as I want. (I know my husband really appreciates this about me!) On Thursday morning Chris and I left the kids with my parents (saints!!!) and hit the road...destination: Waco, Texas. One of Chris' best friends was getting married in Austin, so we ...
Nash News – 20 Months
The last month with Nash has been the best yet. He's talking up a storm and acting like a big kid in so many ways...but he's still got his rolls and he's happy to let me rock him like a baby each and every night. Here's what our "baby" has been up to this month... The question I hear from him 50 times a day? "Where Arden?" If she's not right next to him, he wants to know where she's at. Sometimes she's hiding, and when he realizes where she's at he whispers excitedly and sneaks up on her. He ...
