today I ...

... woke up from a dream that I ran into Jessica Simpson in the produce section of Walmart. She was there as publicity for her whole losing the baby weight campaign. I was there for bananas.

... ran for the first time in three months. It felt great.

... hit up my second estate sale this week. I found some awesome stuff and it makes me more and more excited for the next Vintage Market Days event.

... got super excited about the thunderstorm that rolled through this afternoon. I lit a vanilla spice candle to celebrate the occasion.

... started thinking about the upcoming holiday season and all things fall. I just love this time of year!

... noted that my nails need to be cut no less than 13 times. They have yet to be clipped.

... discovered two packages were delivered to our house. Neither one was for me. The nerve.

... spent way too much time on Pinterest. Luckily it was for work, so all that pinning will pay off.

... started and then abandoned a photo book of my bumpdates. Too much pressure.

... snuck some spinach into our meatballs. I swear they tasted better than they ever have.

... got the worst stomachache of my life- about 10 minutes after dinner. Don't try to tell me it was the hidden spinach. I'm giving the side eye to the broccoli for this one.

... think I finally decided on a Halloween costume for my girl.

... have a stack of magazines that I've been saving for a perfect night of lounging and inspiration. Tonight is looking good!


What have you been up to today?

thankful for...
date night

The best self-portrait we could get.

Date nights have become extremely important to us since Evie was born. It may not be anything super fancy, but the chance to get done up and out of the house for adults-only conversation is always welcomed.

And it certainly doesn't hurt to have a hot date! :)

Project 52:36 {support}

thankful for...
support



Today I am thankful for my net. For those people in my life who love and care about me, who shore me up when life gets tough.

I tend to like to go it alone.. experience and feel and sometimes suffer through things by myself, figuring out my feelings along the way. This isn't the best quality to have. Not in relation to my friends and family, and definitely not with God.

But despite my failings and need to keep things to myself, I am so thankful that they are always there. Because who wants to go through life alone? Not me.

on my list.

After a long weekend away, I always feel a little discombobulated. Do you? Laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning up.. all the things I feel like I just did before we left. Somehow they are back at the top of the list again. How does that happen?

Anyway. We had a nice, relaxing time with my family this weekend. A few events and get-togethers on the schedule, but still plenty of down time to just lay around and relax. A lot of times, I feel very rushed when we go to my hometown. There are a lot of people we want to see and spend time with, and it's easy to get stretched a bit too thin. Especially with a wee one.

Speaking of my girl- she was in rare form. Such a sweet, content little traveler (hallelujah!), and life of each and every party. I'm not sure if there's something in the water up there, or if she was just reveling in all of the excitement and extra people around, but she was literally bouncing off the walls most nights.

I'm just so happy that she dives right in and makes herself comfortable. There is very little apprehension or lag time when we visit. She makes herself right at home!

But back to my list... here are a few things I need to get accomplished in the near future. Wish me luck!

  • Sign up for the fall Strolling Moms
  • Grandparents Day cards/gifts (see what we made last year, here)
  • Meal plan & shop for the week
  • Return some items to TJ Maxx
  • Sign Evie up for gymnastics (finally!)
  • Start working on reupholstering a pair of Bergere chairs (don't worry- I'll share pics!)
  • Pack up clothes Evie's grown out of :(
  • Write an update in her baby book
  • Organize my craft room/office space. Oh, and the garage.
  • CLEAN
  • Make & share another fun Evie video
  • Do a little fall clothing shopping (I'd like to bump this up to the top of the list!)
  • Organize/plan for the holiday Vintage Market Days

SO. What's on your list these days?  Does a long weekend make you feel all itchy and behind like it does me?


wedding photo booth fun.
