Happy week three of quarantine 2020. I hope you guys are hanging in there. The first two weeks were hard, and I’ve been unsure of what to post and write as my feelings have been all over the place. I’m trying so hard to maintain a sense of normalcy and be positive, but things are definitely not normal. And I sure don’t feel very positive when I think about all the people who are sick, caring for the sick, struggling…
‘Tis the week before Christmas! Anyone traveling anywhere really exciting? We had a great weekend with a few fun outings. Friday, I had a girls night with some friends at Sweet Spot studio for a cookie decorating class. The studio had a gluten free cookie option which was so thoughtful of them!!! The cookies were already cut and cooked, and we learned how to mix royal icing and then practiced different techniques on the cookies. We also brought wine and…
What a treat to have such a long weekend! Matt’s parents, sister, and sister’s husband arrived on Wednesday afternoon. I was out at my PT appointment, and then went to Whole Foods for the turkey and some last minute groceries. I also picked up pumpkin pie and quiche from Sunflower Baking Company, and then a fall pie and mushroom pot pie from Move That Dough Baking Co. Sunflower is one of my go-to’s for GF baked goods, and I decided this…
-There’s a lot I forgot about how hard postpartum recovery period is physically. Although my recovery has def. been easier this time around, I’m thankful that it’s mostly behind me [hopefully]. -It’s crazy to me how different Avery already is from Emerson. For some reason, I was expecting them to be the exact same as newborns. -It’s been such a treat to have meals brought over by friends these past two weeks. Not only because we don’t have to cook,…
Well, another October First, with another baby, has come and [almost] gone. I’d expected that this one would be late too, but got my hopes up around 38 weeks when baby dropped and I started having some cramps and sporadic contractions. I don’t mind that much, as I’ve had such a relaxing week, but I am just ready to meet her so I can stop being nervous about labor and a healthy baby! I’m not scared of labor like I…
We have been cramming so much into these last few weekends. We have one more as a threesome before my mom joins us for #babywatch! Friday started like any other weekend – with homemade pizza. I can’t remember why, but it was super late before we got Emerson to bed, and I was exhausted making the pizza at nearly 9pm. I told Matt I have one more weekend of pizza-making in me, but then we are switching to delivery so…
What a treat to have an extra day to the weekend. I always kinda forget about these long weekends until they are here and it was WONDERFUL to have an extra day with Matt to do all the fun things. We kicked off the weekend with two Mellow Mushroom pizzas and then went straight to bed because we were both exhausted. I was on my phone the minute I opened my eyes on Saturday to see if Move That…
We continued the theme of home improvement over here this weekend. We worked all day Saturday, and I was so tired by Saturday night that I could barely find the energy to go out on a date with Matt. We knocked so many things of our to-do list, though, so we had a Sunday funday that involved a movie and a concert. Matt worked from a co-working space on Friday, so we kicked off the weekend with a trip to…
If you’ve been following along since we moved into our house, you know that our yard has been somewhat of a headache! When we came down to Charlotte to see the house, it had beautiful green sod and we fell in love with the yard. But when we arrived in December, we found a wet mud pit for a yard. The combination of no one taking care of the sod while it sat on the market, lack of gutters, and…
