    Hey, It’s Okay

    Inspired by Glamour’s “Hey, It’s Okay” blurbs, here is mine. Hey, It’s Okay…. Not to love Greek Yogurt. Normal yogurt is pretty darn good. To waste your kid’s nap time by catching up on The Closer rather than cleaning up the house. To still want date nights even after 5 years together. To wish for cooler weather when it’s really hot and warmer weather when it’s really cold.  To love Uggs. And talk about your love for them.

    Life Update

    Wondering why I haven’t posted much lately? Work has been crazy and I’ve been trying to stay afloat, but I promise to post more often.  In more exciting news, our town has a local version of Groupon and we got this pizza for $2! Too bad it wasn’t as delicious as it looked. Thursday night the weather was gorgeous and we enjoyed a picnic dinner at the park. How cool is this picnic shelter?
