Easter Weekend 2017

April 17, 2017

This weekend was the first weekend I have really taken a break from the blogging world since Christmas, and it was much-needed. I honestly don’t remember the last day I took “off.” Not good, Logan. Not good. Spending time with my family without worrying about social media or emails, etc. was so freeing and I feel refreshed today. Our Easter weekend began with a little bit of cleaning and laundry because I was way behind (let’s be honest, I always am) and then a birthday party at the zoo for a sweet friend of ours.

We Don’t Brunch On Sundays

March 6, 2017

Over the weekend we did a lot of cleaning. We also had my parents over for dinner to see the house now that we have some of it put together (and to get some decorating advice from my mom because she’s the Bomb.Com). Honestly, it was a pretty mundane weekend over all. We didn’t do anything overly exciting. I didn’t know what to write for my “weekend update” until it hit me after life group last night. I’m going to tell the unfiltered absolute truth about how our Sundays are. You see, we don’t brunch on Sundays. I see Instagram posts from other bloggers and friends all the time where they are drinking coffee, getting ready for brunch, looking cute and cozy and relaxing with breakfast in bed. You know what I’m talking about, right? Those “easy like Sunday morning” posts. So, here are what our Sunday mornings look like with kids…

They See Me Rolling

February 27, 2017

This weekend was one for the books! Weston’s baby book to be exact. He rolled over (from back to stomach, you know, the hard one) for the first time on Saturday! I was so proud and I completely missed it. I laid him down on the floor, left to grab a diaper and came back and he was on his belly. He was happy as a clam, too. He looked so surprised like he had no idea how he ended up there. Of course, Ryan and I sane ” They see me rolling…” to him because it’s tradition. I’m pretty sure we sang it to all of our kids when they rolled over for the first time. Of course, ever since he figured it out, we can’t get him to stop rolling everywhere. Once he got it, he Got. It. Smarty britches!

Weekend Vibes

February 20, 2017

This weekend felt like a whirlwind. The good kind. My in-laws are golden because they kept our older two for us on Friday night and we got so much done. We even squeezed in a date (with Weston, of course) to our favorite Mexican restaurant. I got a lot of our house cleaned up while Ryan went to work on hanging mirrors, photos, etc. Our house is finally starting to feel more put-together and look like a home. Also, this is the only photo evidence of us going on a date that was taken by my three-year-old. haha I have GOT to invest in a tripod! If you know of a good affordable one, please let me know in the comments!

Our Valentine’s Day

February 15, 2017

Our Valentine’s Day was nothing special this year. It was any ordinary Tuesday. Hampton went to school and enjoyed his Valentine’s Day party and that made me so happy. The boys have been feeling sickly again this week, so we got outside in the beautiful weather and played…and played and played. We walked and talked and played golf and went to the playground and I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. I even let the kids pig out on a little candy with me. It was a treat for us all!

Super Bowl Weekend

February 6, 2017

This weekend was pretty boring to be honest. I did some laundry and we moved the rest of our stuff out of my parent’s house, so we have been unpacking again. Sigh. Sunday, we went to church and it was, of course, super bowl weekend. We do not have an NFL team in Alabama, so the closest team to us is the Atlanta Falcons. We were excited to see them in the game, but to be honest, I just watch the super bowl for the commercials and halftime show. Of course, there is always the food, too! Game day food is the best!

A Relaxing Weekend

January 30, 2017

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.

Shorts in January

January 16, 2017

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

January 13, 2017

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. 😉

Southern Snow

January 6, 2017

We have finally experienced our first winter weather of the season this week and it has been so nice. While Fall is still my favorite season, I do like it when the colder weather arrives. It is a huge relief to us southern folks down here. I like that it finally felt like winter for the first time. I was able to break out my sweaters and jackets and I have really enjoyed it. Earlier in the week, it was still pretty warm and I was able to get out in our common green space area with the kiddos after a few days of rain. If you have a toddler, you know that after a few days of rainy weather, they go nuts. They were so ready to get out of the house and just run – which is exactly what we did.
