ONE.
Hampton and I went on 2 playdates this week. It has been so nice to get out and enjoy the weather. We go on walks almost every day, but it was fun to do something different. Tuesday we went to the zoo and Wednesday we had a picnic at the park. Did you catch my toddler playdate ideas I shared yesterday? Get out and enjoy the weather!

TWO.
I am giving away a pair of Ralph Lauren Sunglasses from Sunglasses Shop! Be sure to stop by and enter. Everyone needs a new pair of sunnies for the summer!

THREE.
My baby turned 17 months old earlier this week. I can’t believe how grown he is. He is talking so much more and acting so much older. He is still very into Thomas the train and I am so excited to surprise him with tickets to ride Thomas and meet Sir Topham Hatt next month.

FOUR.
I will be 35 weeks pregnant tomorrow. What? I literally can’t believe it. It feels like yesterday that I told Ryan I was 30 weeks and we only had 10 more to go. Now, we are down to 5 weeks. I still have so much to buy. I don’t know if it’s the 2nd child or what, but I have not been as prepared this time. PLEASE help me out and list all of your baby gear you couldn’t live without! Specifically for a baby girl. Any Etsy shop recommendations? Must have items?

FIVE.

ONE.
I will be 29 weeks pregnant tomorrow! Nuts! Where is the time going? I finally started organizing this week and we are getting ready to have a huge garage sale in 2 weeks to help us get rid of some of our clutter before baby girl arrives. I have finally started ordering decor for her nursery and Hampton’s big boy room, so I am getting really excited to start decorating and pulling everything together. As far as me? I’m feeling okay. I’m definitely starting to feel larger and have been more uncomfortable, but that is just all part of it! I’m mostly just really excited to meet this sweet baby.

TWO.
Did you check out my Valentine’s Day inspired outfit? You must! Pink Blush sells this in maternity but it can easily be worn as non-maternity. It will definitely be a staple piece for me this spring and summer.

THREE.
You must enter to win this giveaway on my blog! There are only 5 days left to enter, so what are you waiting for?

FOUR.
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! My mom offered to watch Hamp for us so we can go on a much needed date! I’m so excited I don’t even mind fighting crowds! We have plans to eat an early hibachi dinner! My favorite! What are your plans tomorrow? Are you doing anything romantic?

FIVE.
One of my best friends just moved back to our hometown after being away for several years. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. I have missed her so much and am so thankful for her friendship and the fact that I can see her more often! In honor of her arrival I’m sharing a Flashback Friday picture of us our freshman year of college. Yes, I had terribly dyed hair. You’re welcome. I feel very blessed this week. 🙂

P.S. Check out My Romantic Valentine’s Day Ideas!

I hope you have a lovely Valentine’s Day and weekend!

I haven’t written a good round up post in a while, so I figured I’d join in for 5 on Friday today! TGIF, y’all!

ONE

I can’t believe I will be 26 weeks pregnant tomorrow! This one is going by so quickly. We are getting so excited to meet our sweet girl, but we still have a lot to do to prepare for her arrival. I don’t really have any updates on my pregnancy this week other than I’ve gained another pound. Yay, me! I am so happy to be excelling at something. Ha! 😉

TWO
Today is my sister’s 20th birthday! Happy Birthday, Allymac! I am pretty pumped to celebrate with her tonight!

THREE

I am so looking forward to Valentine’s Day this year. Why? Because we don’t get to go out on a date very often, so when we are able to, it is pretty special. Here are some of my favorite Valentine’s Date ideas!

FOUR
I just bought First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen and I can NOT wait to start reading it! What are you reading right now?

FIVE

Hampton will be 15 months tomorrow. Where has the time gone? He is growing up so fast. I can’t wait to share all of the new things he is doing and SAYING because he is starting to say more and more words. I can’t get over it.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

I’m pretty excited, guys! I am running my first 5k race tomorrow! I talked Ryan into running it with me as well. I wasn’t originally planning on running one this weekend, but I was having lunch with a friend and she mentioned that her and her husband were running in this one and talked me into it. I’m kind of nervous, but mostly excited. Side note: I am still weak from having the stomach virus so I’m hoping by tomorrow morning I’ll be back to 100%.

Two
I’m loving this warm weather. I have had the opportunity to lay by the pool a couple of afternoons this week, and it has been so nice and relaxing.

Three
Ryan and I are getting ready to go to Orlando in a couple of weeks for his second conference of the year. I’m excited, but not as excited about the one in Chicago next month! Yep, that’s right! We are heading to Chi town! We just got the email! I’m beyond excited!

One of my check-ins from this week

We are two weeks into the Tone It Up #BikiniSeries. How is everyone doing? I’ve completed all the workouts so far, but I am struggling with my diet. Confession: I ate pizza one night this week and had an ice cream cone. I’m pretty sure that’s not TIU approved. Oops. I haven’t lost any weight yet, but I can tell a huge difference in my endurance.

Five
I’m heading to a wedding tomorrow night for a friend of mine that I used to dance with. She is marrying my mom’s best friend’s son. Small world. I’m so excited for them. This will be my second wedding in the last month. You can read about my cousin’s beautiful southern wedding here.

Wish me luck on my first race tomorrow and be sure to follow along on Instagram because you know I’ll be posting pictures!

How are your fitness goals coming along this year? Have you run any races? Are you attending a wedding this weekend?

Linking up with April today for Five on Friday.
