Happy Monday! I'm writing to you today from my cozy couch while I sip coffee and watch GMA. 

Just kidding. I'm drinking cold coffee, catching glimpses of GMA, and chasing a very active one year old!

We got today off from school. Praise the Lord! This four day weekend has been glorious. It is giving me hope that I can make it to summer :)

We spent tons of time outside enjoying the mild temps before we start melting here pretty soon. Graham is obsessed with anything outside. He will happily play on the patio for an hour with no toys. He collects leaves and grass and plays in the dirt. He is all boy! 

We went to Eater service Saturday night which meant we had all day Sunday to get. stuff. done. We did lots of yard work, Chris built a shed, Graham napped for 2+ hours, and I washed both dogs. We had such a productive day!

Today is the last day of my break and I've left my whole to-do list for today. Yay for procrastination.

Off to be semi-productive. 

Have a great day!

Friday Confessions + Shopbop Sales Faves!

Friday, April 14, 2017

We've got a four day weekend and I wish you could see me jumping for joy! This time of year is so stressful for teachers. State testing, end of the year obligations, hormonal 5th graders, etc. This break is welcomed with open arms!




What I'm buying: I always love, love, love the Shopbop sale! I'm getting better at buying gifts year-around, so I do a lot of my Christmas shopping now. I also buy a few things for myself, but I try to stick to buying for others!

What I'm obsessing over: Has anyone ever seen Amazon's interesting finds page? I AM OBSESSED!




What I'm wearing: My favorite peplum tops are on sale for $9!! I have five of them and they are on repeat. They come in a long sleeve and tank version.

What I'm planning: My brother and his wife are moving in with us over the summer (temporarily), so I'm itching to get our guest room decorated! It has been the most neglected room in our house and it is about time it gets completed. I'm dying to paint a room navy, but also want more shiplap! Decisions, decisions!

What we are watching: Over the last few weeks of me working on my signs, Chris has had Designated Survivor on in the background. I dismissed it at first, but now I am HOOKED. It is so good and totally out of my normal reality-tv comfort zone.

What we are looking forward to: Summer! We are in the midst of planning some summer vacations and I am so excited! Summer will be so different this year because, hello, G will be keeping me on my toes! I see the pool and lots of splash pads in our future!

What we are doing this weekend: Celebrating Easter and Jesus!

Happy weekend!

G wearing a Yellow Button Baby bib
G is Haven Gray's 'baby bear' onesie

In honor of my Etsy shop giveaway, I wanted to shout out my favorite baby boutiques!

- Olive and Gray: Ryan and Todd are an awesome couple who've created a brand that it darn near perfection. They've got the cutest clothes for both little boys and girls. Seriously, I wish some of the clothes came in my size.

- Haven Gray: Celeste is a blogger friend turned real life friend. She's a boy mom and has curated a brand tailored just to you boy moms! Her little men are so stylish and Celeste created Haven Gray to help boy moms find the perfect outfits for the little guys in their life!

- Yellow Button Baby: I've never met someone more committed to quality than Rebecca. She handpicks the best fabric for all her baby products and it shows in all her pieces. She has spoiled G with some adorable bibs! I should also add that I'm tempted to buy one of her baby blankets for myself because they are THE softest things ever!

Happy Wednesday!
