  • Yesterday Chad left for a boys weekend, of sorts. Which means this mama had the night to herself! And what did I do?? Go wild and crazy, of course! That’s right… I cleaned the house AND kept a fire going… all while watching trashy Real Housewives on the DVR. Wild and crazy, right!?
  • I had plans for today but we kinda got snowed in. #BabyAri and I left this morning to run one errand and it ended up taking nearly an  hour round-trip. In.SANE! It was crazy dangerous and I had a few mini panic attacks. But we made it back. Just in time to put Ari down for his morning nap. Once he fell asleep, I had to work on starting a fire (my first!) and getting my car up the driveway (which took an hour…).
  • Ari was hilarious today. He had a few naughty moments, which warranted time-outs. But every time he went into time out, I would avoid looking at him. And then I look over and he’s smirking and thinking it’s HYSTERICAL. Which made me laugh and then time out was just a waste…

  • I found a hidden bottle of sparkling rosé in the pantry tonight. I not-so-elegantly paired it with a few homemade Gluten Free Chocolate Chip cookies that Ari and I made earlier. It was a lovely end to this crazy snow day!

  • I spent 2.5 hours and $200 at the eye doctor yesterday. It was painful (in many ways) but I’m super excited to have my annual eye exam behind me. And excited that I’m getting a new pair of glasses (first pair in 10 years!) plus gas permeable lenses — which are new to me! As someone who’s worn soft lenses since she was 12, this is a big change! When I told my eye doctor that friends would say “oh no, I get it — my eyes are real bad….” he said that they had nothin’ on me! Ha! Are you eligible for lasik?? I’m like the only person on the planet that isn’t. He said I’m eligible for visual prosthesis in my late-40s, early 50s. That’s right…. Eye transplant. LOL. So yeah, I’m blind, folks. And a hundred bucks says I’m more blind than you. #IWin #ButILose
  • Ari loves to vacuum with me. I swear if the kid could talk he’d say that the highlight of his day was getting in the Baby Bjorn and vacuuming with me. Ha!

  • I didn’t have a chance to paint my nails during my doctor extravaganza yesterday, so I painted them today during Babycakes first nap. Not perfect, but good enough for a first shot!

  • I’m actually kind of nervous about my first day in my new position on Monday. I mean, I’m ready but I’m nervous. Weird!

  • This week has been way crazier than I anticipated it being. It was short on sleep, short on hours, but big on activity.
  • I’m hoping that the weather doesn’t prevent my BFF + I from hanging out this afternoon. We have a cupcake + wine date!
  • I would pay one of my friends in Buffalo/Syracuse to send me some sponge candy. It’s a candy/chocolate that can only be bought in Western New York. And it is amazeballs.
  • Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of when we found out we were pregnant. Talk about putting the past year into perspective! It’s crazy to think about how our life was just one year ago.
  • I’m keeping things short + sweet today. Things are way too busy around here. But my dad is coming up from Kentucky tonight so hopefully tomorrow I’ll have a bit more time to spend behind the computer. Cause hopefully Grandpa will be playing with his smitten little Babycakes!

  • I’m over-the-moon happy that there are signs of fall popping up all around me:
    long sleeve weather,
    Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back,
    and Halloween candy is being sold in stores already.

    Months ago, when people were talking about fall, I was all
    “Yay fall is my favorite season; but I’m not quite ready for Baby L, so please stay away.”
    But nowadays, I’m all
    “Bring it on, fall!”

  • Speaking of fall and Baby L,
    not only will he be here soon, but I’ll have my favorite months of the year off to spend with my new little guy!
  • The highlight of my week was going to bed early last night and getting in my PJs at 7PM.
    Don’t judge.
  • My favorite part of the weekends are waking up just a little bit before everyone else and cleaning the whole house.
  • I’m hoping to get tons done from my to-do list. At this point, it’s really not an option.
    We’re running out of time. And I’m going to be crazy busy at work next week.
  • I really hate rebates.
    With the exception of eBates, that is.
    Most of the time, taking the time to get all of the necessary documents together,
    make copies, and send it in, is such a pain in the butt.
    Not even worth it.
    I sent out for a contact rebate weeks ago. And I just got notification that I’m missing a piece of documentation.
    Grr. At this point, I’m getting this dang rebate.
