A Relaxing Weekend
Our weekend was so relaxing this weekend. Looking back on it, we didn’t feel like we did a lot, but we kind of did. I got all of my consignment things priced and dropped off and cleaned the house up a little and did laundry. We also saw a few friends we haven’t seen in a while and it was so nice to catch up with them and went to church as aways, but for the most part, we enjoyed a lot of snuggles on the couch with the kids and a little outdoor play. It was fun, but it was cold.
Friday Favorites
Hey there! It is FINALLY Friday and my in-laws have the two older kiddos today, so I am soaking in every bit of Weston’s snuggles and coos while simultaneously entering and tagging all of our consignment clothes for the sale that have to be dropped off in the morning. Oh, yeah, I definitely had a serious case of mom brain and forgot about it until two days ago, so…nothing like a little procrastination. I am just so happy that it is the weekend because This. Week. This week has been full of a lot of sickness and dirty house and laundry and honestly, I am happy to see it go and ready to bring on a new week and hopefully get my act together again. New week = do-over from last week. Right?
This weekend we have absolutely nothing going on, so I am going to catch up on the house and maybe start a new book from my reading list! If you have any other recommendations, I’d love to hear them!
So, now it is time for Friday Favorites!
Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
Who doesn’t love Valentine’s day? Any day I get to celebrate my love is a good day in my book! Plus, there is normally a date night which is rare for us these days and a box of chocolates of flowers included which is double awesome! Really, though I have always loved Valentin’s day because my mom always made it special for us growing up and I remember always having a brown paper bag in my classroom growing up and we would all bring special Valentine’s to all of our friends at school. It was so fun and I always loved reading them and even saved them for a long time until I was a borderline V-day hoarder.
I love putting together gift guides because it gives me a good excuse to do a little online shopping and perusing! I have put together some of my favorite gifts for Valentine’s day. Personally, we normally keep it simple, but if you are more of a diamond girl/guy shopping for your girl, then go for it! Otherwise, this list is for you!
Front Porch Sittin’
Our weekend was once again, filled with rainy days. We are all getting the cabin fever over here. We have also been sick since Thursday and are still trying to get over whatever we’ve had. I’m hoping it is just a bad cold virus and not the flu. Little Sophie has been just pitiful. She had a fever four days in a row and just laid around on me all weekend. She is normally so bubbly that it made me really sad to see her like that. I am praying we are all on the upswing of this now.
5 Netflix Shows To Watch If You Love Fashion
We got Netflix again a couple of months ago, and let me tell you, I don’t know how I did it without for over a year! Of course, the main reason I subscribed again was to watch the new Gilmore Girls episodes, but I have really enjoyed watching it when Ryan is traveling or if I am in the mood to wind down with some television at night. If you have been around my blog for a while, you know how much I enjoy fashion. It has always been a passion of mine and I’ve always been really interested in it. These are some of my favorite shows to watch that have impeccable fashion sense.
17 Books To Read in 2017
I think this is one of my favorite posts of the year. Why? Well, I LOVE to read. It has always been my favorite pass time. Getting lost in a good book is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the every day. After a lot of perusing the new books releasing this year, I have pulled out the ones I am most looking forward to reading! Also, a few old titles to catch up on if you haven’t read them yet.
I’ll be honest, when I was looking at last year’s post: 16 Books to Read in 2016, I realized I didn’t even read half of the titles I had planned on. Of course, we also weren’t exactly planning on having another baby this past year, either. Life sure is funny that way. This year, maybe I will have more time to read and travel. I can normally finish a book when we are road tripping some place and I am planning to travel a good bit more with our family this year.
Shorts in January
It has been a really crazy January. We went from snow storm to shorts in less than a week. Needless to say, the weather has finally caught up with my family like is has so many others around us. Hampton has had a fever and hasn’t been feeling well and I woke up this morning with a little head cold. We are praying that Sophie and Weston don’t get this. Currently lysoling everything. Happy Monday!

Life Lately
After a whole lot of rain and an ice storm keeping us in last weekend, we have enjoyed some warm sunny days this week! It has been unseasonably warm and we are loving every minute of it! Countless walks and lots of playing outside has made my babies very happy and you know what they say: “happy baby, happy mama.” Or something like that… Life lately has definitely been grand!
Hampton has done great adjusting to school again. I was worried that after a long break, he might have trouble, but he has done so well! `That boy loves school. Of course, his parents did, too, so he gets it honestly. 😉
Postpartum Weight Loss: My Favorite Tools
Postpartum weight loss can be really tricky. Getting back in shape this time around has been so much harder than after my first two pregnancies. The weight seemed to come right off in the first couple of months with the exception of those last 5 to 10 pounds that I had to start working to get off. This time my body has been completely different. My pregnancy was harder as far as aches and pains that were pretty much 24/7 towards the end. My aches and pains have not gone away. My body is taking a lot longer to heal this time and so my workouts have been a huge struggle.
