This week I have one late work night and I’m crossing my fingers that after that, the rest of the week is a breeze! Cause last week was kind of exhausting. It was my first really tough work week since I went back.

I believe in yoga. More than I believe in most things, actually. This weekend I practiced with one of my favorite teachers in one of my favorite spaces. And I loved every challenging second of it!

I’m super excited to have gotten a haircut this weekend. Guys! I haven’t had a haircut since last August! Long overdue.

My addiction to Pretty Little Liars continues. I’m halfway through Season 3 already. As much as Chad dislikes this show, I think he still prefers it to any of the Real Housewives.

I wish that Ari would take naps on the weekend. He apparently naps without a problem for the sitter. But for us? Nope. The other day I mentioned on Facebook that he was napping. And that lasted for a hot minute. Ugh. I totally jinxed it. 🙁

I’m happy to have an awesome husband who is OK with me leaving him with the baby on a Saturday morning to go to yoga and a hair appointment.

My weekly mantra: Get out of bed! Cause even when I want to sleep in, getting out of bed and getting the day started is a hundred times better than the extra sleep I would get.

Spread the Love // Valentine’s Day Swap

by 2 Comments

I love, love, love getting packages in the mail! When I was pregnant we were constantly getting little gifts delivered to our doorstep [not to mention all the stuff we ordered ourselves!]. It was glorious! 

This package hiatus I’ve been on since he’s been born has been a major bummer.

That’s one of the reasons I joined Erin from Love, Fun & Football for a Valentine’s Day ‘spread the love’ swap! I was partnered up with Meredith from Belle in Boots {sidenote: how awesome is it that her upcoming wedding date is my birthday?? October 5th is a good day, Meredith! 😉 ]. I sent her some goodies and in return, Chloe from All That Good Stuff sent me a little adorable package!

This nail polish is amazeballs. Seriously, love the color. Girl did her research! She said she found a color polish on a board I pinned on Pinterest!

I immediately painted my right hand. Yep, that’s right. Just my right hand. That’s as far as I got! Ha! Then Ari started crying and I had to pick him up and I didn’t have time to do my left hand. Oops.

And even though we didn’t have time or energy to plant a garden last year, we’re definitely putting a backyard garden together again this year. So I know I’ll put the Strawberry Grow Kit to use!

It was such a fun linkup, I’d love to do another one soon!

Happy Friday, guys. I’m 100% ready for the weekend!

So What! Wednesday

I’m linking up with Shannon from Life After I Dew to say SO WHAT if… SoWhatButton

  • I’ve been cranky the last couple of days. It’s been a really crazy work week thus far, and I’m completely over it.
  • I’m obsessed with the song Below My Feet by Mumford & Sons and have been listening to it on repeat over the last few days.
  • part of my motivation for waking up to get to the gym early is because I “reward” myself with tanning afterward. And I like to have some color in the winter.
  • I got a little sad yesterday when RueLaLa opened their sale for the Inn By The Sea in Cape Elizabeth Maine yesterday. That’s where we got married last year and where we vacationed a few years ago. And I totally wish we could make it back for an anniversary trip this year, but it’s not in the cards for us right now. 🙁

  • this past week of the Bachelor made me so happy. LOVE me some crazy girl drama! Well, as long as I’m not involved. These whores are craaaaazy!
  • I judge the girls’ dresses from the Bachelor on how good their boobs look in the dress. What’s the point of wearing a dress that shows bad cleavage??
