Y'all, life has been SO busy lately. We have had something going on every single night for weeks now so blogging has definitely been put on the back burner.
Blake is officially not working from home anymore (waaahhh insert cry face here) and I'm officially a stay at home mama to our sweet Judah! I'm trying to get a schedule together for our days and make time for blogging but some days, you just gotta cuddle your baby, ya know??
So I'm linking up with Shay to share a little of what we have been up to!
What we're eating this week...
Monday was casserole night at our LifeGroup meeting and I made this "Cracked Out Chicken Casserole". It was so good! Tuesday we had chicken tostadas, and tonight we will probably have leftovers! Thursday I'm going to attempt to make pork chops (I'm not a big pork fan). Not sure about Friday!
What I'm reminiscing about...
Around this time last year I remember feeling really beat down about not being pregnant yet. Little did I know that a few weeks later we would find out that we we're expecting! Now I'm sitting on my couch with my baby boy in my lap, working on this blog post. God is SO good!
What I'm loving...
I have finally found a self tanner that I LOVE! I have to share it with y'all. Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sunless Tanning Mousse works wonders, y'all. I am pastey white and after one use I'm already SO tan. I put it on after I get out of the shower and it dries in 1 minute. I can immediately get dressed and it doesn't rub off on my clothes. I apply baby powder (lightly) in the creases of my arms and the back of my legs after applying the foam just to insure that the tan doesn't rub off in those areas or get splotchy. It also doesn't fade too much after you shower. Just reapply and it builds a really even and pretty tan! I can't get enough of it.
What we've been up to...
Y'all, we have been b u s y. Like I said above, we have something planned almost every night of the week. Lot's of fun things have been happening in the midst of our busyness though!
We have had a lot of family in and out this month! Family time is the best :) our little guy is SO loved!
This is what our faces looked like after buying a new bed. Don't let Blake's face fool you, he was more excited than I was.
Blake and I left Judah together for the first time over the weekend. We went to Kroger to pick up a few things to make my dad a dessert he wanted. This is a big deal for this mama that has bad separation anxiety from her baby!
We live about 25 minutes from a little town called Wimberley. It is the cutest little town with an adorable town square with a lot of great shopping spots! We had fun adventuring around this little Texas town! Even though Judah was not a fan of how hot it was that weekend! Welcome to Texas, little guy.
What I'm dreading...
Our church started LifeGroups 4 weeks ago and the last week for this session is next week. We are so bummed about it ending! Our group has decided we are all still going to try to meet a couple of times during the month and hangout with each other and our kiddos! We love Monday nights with our LifeGroup! & Judah loves to swing after we are done with Bible study :)
What I'm working on...
I'm officially a SAHM and most of my days look like this...
I love being home with my little man! Mama needs a schedule though. I have found a few ideas on Pinterest but I was wanting to see if any of you had any ideas on daily/weekly SAHM schedules! Any and all tips are welcome!
What I'm excited about...
Our family vacation this year! We are still deciding between two places. Both have lots of fun things to do and see, and we are excited about our first real vacation as a family of 3!
What I'm watching/reading...
We are still hooked on Scandal. That show has me all kinds of confused. One minutes I want Olivia to be with Fitz and the next I'm yelling at the TV because they're both being confusing. Gotta love Shonda, am I right?? I've also been watching lots of Southern Charm and RHOD. Being from Dallas I had high hopes for this Real Housewives season, but I'm kind of let down at the moment. Leanne drives me Bonkers.
I've been looking into a few books to start reading in May and I'm torn between these three.
Have any of you read these or have any other recommendations??
What I'm listening to...
Lots of Grady Spencer & The Work. They are a band from Ft. Worth and Blake and I use to go to church with the drummer! They have such a good sound and I literally listen to them all day long on repeat.
What I'm wearing...
There is a few things I have been obsessed with lately.
Old Navy's Pixie Pants. I have an addiction. I told Blake that I never want to wear jeans again and just have these in every color/print. They are SO comfy y'all.
Here's me with one of my favorite HS Seniors in the pink pair I have.
Here are the yellow printed pair I have. I'm obviously a huge fan of my chambray shirt, too. I wear it like...everyday. #oops
I got this adorable sweater/shirt from Old Navy as well and I love it. It says "More than all the stars in the sky." That's how much I love that little hunk :)
P.S. It was .94 cents on the clearance rack. ALWAYS check the clearance rack, ladies!! My pants are also Old Navy Active pants that I got for $6 on the clearance rack.
So basically, I've been wearing Old Navy's entire store. Whatev. I also got my first pair of LuLaRoe leggings and all the rumors are true. They. Are. Butter. So soft!
What I'm doing this weekend...
Blake is leading worship for our Kids Conference and I'm helping out with the checking in/registration side of things. We are so excited to see God work in the lives of lots of kiddos this weekend!
What I'm looking forward to next month...
Hopefully not being so busy! Also it's my first official Mothers Day as a mama and I'm pretty excited about that :)
What else is new...
This dude is just growing like a weed. He will be 4 months old in a few days and my mama heart can't take how big he is getting. Where has my tiny baby gone??
I'm expecting our first child, a baby boy, in just a few weeks so your post made me SO excited! :) Like y'all, our home group is about to slow down on meeting for summer and I'm so sad! Community blesses your life like nothing else! XO
ReplyDeleteLittle boys are the best!! So excited for you :)
