Hello! Sorry for the unintentional blogging break. Life’s been crazier than usual and the real craziness hasn’t even started yet. I’ll post a full Easter recap along with baby Jack’s 10 month update later this week, but for now I’ll leave you with this picture from Sunday. I’m in love with the bowties that I ordered from Megan. Make sure to check out her ETSY store here.

Too Much.
Can I be honest? I’m feeling super overwhelmed. Life’s not always filled with smiling kids, perfect recipes, and cute outfits. This week has been a sh*t show. I feel like the last couple of weeks I just can’t catch up. I’m so overwhelmed and as much as I try to get all my sh*t together, other people and things out of my control seem to get in the way and I don’t like to not be in control. Everyone needs something from me. And they need it now. Clients, friends, family. I also have a real problem with saying no. My house needs a good deep cleaning. I know all you moms…

Still Hot at 40 {A Surprise Birthday Party}
On Saturday we celebrated my sister’s 40th birthday with a surprise party.

I kept the party pretty simple so there wasn’t too much prep. I made the easiest party favors, mod-podged some pictures on the number 40, and ordered a cake with my a picture of my then 13 year old sister’s face on it. Once the margaritas started flowing I didn’t take too many pictures, but my sister…

Sick & A St. Patty’s Link Up
Jack and I have been under the weather for the past week now. Last Friday I took him to the Dr. to rule out croup after he was up every hour Thursday night coughing and sounding like a barking dog when he cried. Thankfully it’s just an upper respiratory virus and he’s on the mend, but I’m still hacking away. I know I’m annoying everyone around me by coughing and at this point I’m even annoying myself. I started a Z-Pack on Monday so I’m hoping what I have is some sort of bacterial thing and will go away. I’m tired of having to take my nightly shot of NyQuil.…

Day in Our Life
I always enjoy reading these types of posts so here’s a typical weekday in our house. 6:08am: I hit snooze once then force myself to get into the shower. 6:25am: Get dressed for work and put moisturizer on my face, but I don’t do my hair or makeup yet. I head into Ben’s room and wake him up. 6:30am: Ben wakes up and asks if it’s a stay home day. I usually try to wake him up around 6:30am on school days because he’s more likely to take a nap at school if I do:) 6:40am: Ben lays on the couch and watches an episode of Scooby Doo while I fix us…
