    Life Recap

    Heelllooo!! I’m so glad this week is a short 4 days and I can’t wait to celebrate the 4th of July this weekend. Can we talk about the fact that Wednesday is the first day of July? Where in the heck did June go? Seriously. And since my blogging has been sporadic at best, a weekend recap just won’t do so here’s a little recap of what we’ve been up to lately. Slowly but surely were getting more things done around the house including the much needed project of recovering our kitchen chairs for our everyday dining table. We looked at just getting a new table and chairs when we…

    Weekend Recap {In Numbers}

     4. Times I tried to photograph this gorgeous green dress from GAP throughout the day and forget hence the horrible car selfie at the stoplight on the way home from work. Ignore the frizzy hair…for the rest of the Summer. 7. Shots in this frozen drink. J and I needed this after lots of home improvement projects. 3325. Paint Number for Sherwin Williams Blue Mountaintop. I painted this in Ben’s room and I love the way it turned out. This color is the perfect blue-grey aka “bleige.” Let’s make that word a thing. Source 1. Mircowave that didn’t get installed despite lots of work from the husband due to having…

    Happy Monday! Although things are still crazy around here, I’m back at it with a little recap of our weekend. We kicked off the weekend with donut holes on Saturday morning. After running lots of errands and work on the house, the boys and I went to a 5th grade graduation party for my boss’ daughter. Ben loved the water balloon fight while Jack and my co-worker’s son hung out with the sidewalk chalk.  That night J and Ben hit some balls with Ben’s new pitching machine. They used every last bit of sunlight and only came in when I finally turned off the outside lights 🙂 On Sunday we made another trip to…

    Life + Mother’s Day Recap

    Happy Monday!  I want to start off by sharing that we closed on our house Friday and I couldn’t be happier to officially own this house. We move this upcoming Friday and are very excited to start making it our own. The home is practically brand new so we won’t be making any big changes right away but we definitely have a running list of things we’d like/need to do. And don’t worry, I plan on blogging along the way so stay tuned for lots of before and after pictures! On Friday Ben’s school had manicure and pedicure stations set up for the kids to do their mom’s nails. Ben…

    Weekend Recap

    I can’t believe it’s May and that we close on our new house in 5 days! If you’re thinking about it, could you please say a little prayer that all goes smoothly and in the next 5 days all hell doesn’t break loose? Once everything’s official and we have the keys in our hands I’ll fill you in with the details on what’s been going on throughout this process. I’ve been rocking these Nike’s that I found at our local neighborhood garage sale for $3. The lady who sold them wore them twice. This is the first pair of shoes I’ve ever bought at a garage sale for myself. Although…
