WEEKEND + FIVE THINGS

March 23, 2015

Hey guys!

It’s another new week full of beautiful possibilities! It’s not an overly busy week for us, but we do have a few evening activities and I have some events and things planned during the days, so the week will fly by…as they usually tend to do. I have a prenatal appointment on Wednesday and those are always fun because each time they bring us closer to having our baby! Plus, I love hearing that little one’s beating heart…it’s the sweetest sound.

We had a nice weekend and got a ton of things done (wahoo!). Ben worked on building us some end tables for our living room, since we’ve been using some of his mom’s furniture ever since we’ve been married. And I basically spent most of the day in the kitchen doing all sorts of baking and cooking…meatballs + mashed sweet potatoes + breakfast sandwiches for the freezer, and snack bars and our favorite chocolate cake (recipe soon!) for us. I’ve got the majority of my freezer cooking done, and I may have to just add to my list in order to keep myself busy the next few weeks!

We went out to dinner with some friends on Saturday evening, which was a really good time of conversation and burgers. I have been so hungry for a good hamburger, and this meal totally hit the spot! The sweet potato fries weren’t a bad deal either…love those!

Sunday was another snowy day, and we just set our minds to enjoying the coziness when we woke up to see the snow falling. It cleared off after a while, but we’re still not into warm spring weather here…soon! We had our typical Sunday day of rest, and somehow I managed to take a two-hour nap after breakfast! I don’t know when I’ve ever slept that long for a nap, but it felt uh-mazing.

Here are five things:
– this spring dress
– gonna make this sometime
– this is too cute
– this outfit
– this!

Have a great week!

What about you: what did you accomplish this weekend?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

INSPIRATIONAL FRIDAY!

March 20, 2015

It’s the first day of spring!

And what better way to ring in the new season than with a cozy, snowy day (winkey). At first, I was like…seriously? SNOW?!? But then I realized once again that complaining about something that is super way out of my control is pointless…it’s a waste of perfectly good brain and heart space. So today is still a beautiful, beautiful day, and I am thankful for a brand new season and the promise of warmth and new growth and SPRING.

I had a lazy morning, and had a hard time getting up and getting started with the day. My night sleep hasn’t been as hard to find as it had been a few weeks ago, but I still get random nights like last night where I wake up wide awake and hungry at three o’clock or so. Last night I was so crazy starving that I knew it was no use even trying to go back to sleep without getting up and filling my belly. I scarfed down a bowl of cottage cheese + jam (such a good snack!) and a bunch of roasted cashews, and did manage to get back to sleep an hour or so later. It’s just nature’s way of preparing me for making it on less sleep in the next months, right?

Here are some links I love for some inspiration on this fine day::
