Weekend Recap | Surprise Edition

It's Monday but it's a good Monday because I'm at my Momma's house all week!! Blake gave me 2 surprises this weekend and making the trip to come see my Momma was one of them. I'll tell you more about the surprises in a bit. 

Friday was a fun day for Judah and I. I have been so nervous to take Judah somewhere alone (just me and him) and I'm not really sure why! I use to be a nanny to two very sweet twin girls and I took them places all the time and did just fine! Maybe it's because he's my baby? I don't know. I decided Friday that we were going to get out of the house! We got ready and I went shopping with my new favorite shopping buddy :) 

P.S. He's pretty cute! 

We went to two places and made a day of it! We had so much fun. Blake makes fun of me because I love Jazz/Standards and everytime I drive the car it's on this station. #noshame 

When Blake got off work we did some grocery shopping and then had some playtime with Judah Beau! 

After we put Judah down for bed I made some cupcakes completely from scratch! Lemon cupcakes with raspberry buttercream. So good, y'all! Very easy too! 

Blake had some work at the church to do Saturday so Judah and I hungout at the house all morning. 

B informed me that I would be getting a surprise. I'm clueless when it comes to surprises. It's bad. So I was so excited to see what he had planned! There was a knock on our door at about 11 and I answered it and I was my best friend, Liz!! I was shocked and I might have cried. I had told B on Thursday about how I was feeling kind of homesick and missing family/friends so this surprise was so sweet. 

When Blake got back we went and had an early dinner at The Cheesecake Factory! I love this place. Talk about YUM! 

I'm a totally terrible friend because guess who forgot to take a picture of Liz and I?? #me 

So here is a picture of Judah smiling at his Aunt Liz at dinner :) 

And a picture of Liz and I at a friends wedding. Fun fact, she was my MOH! 

Us pretending to be normal...

And us being our goofy selves! (I was like 4 months pregnant here!)

She is such a sweet, loyal, and all around most genuine friend I've ever had. I love her to pieces. 

We finished out our day adventuring around ATX and with some ice cream from Lick!! If you're in Austin you have to try it! 

I also took a pic of my arm party going on because I never wear bracelets so me wearing one and a watch had to be documented.

Sunday was church and this guy was dressed in the cutest sailor outfit. I can't get enough of this boy. He is such a ham!! 

B informed me of my other surprise and told me to pack our bags because we could be spending the week at my moms! How do you cure homesickness? A week at your moms :) 

We got Starbucks drinks that were way too big because happy hour and hit the road! 

So I'm typing this post from my moms house and I'm one happy girl this Monday morning!! 

I hope y'all have the best week!

Friday Favorites | A Little Bit of Everything Edition

It's Friday and this will be my excited face whenever Blake gets home from work tonight because that means it's finally the weekend! 

P.S. My baby obviously has zero personality, right?? #sarcasm 

We have a pretty busy weekend planned around here (per usual) and I'm hoping that I'm feeling up for all of it because I'm still fighting this nasty stomach bug. Anyway, let's get to some FAVORITES!

I'm kind of obsessed with green pants right now. I want to find a pair SO bad but I'm not sure where to look. Any suggestions?? These outfit combos are my fav right now. 

I meant to share this favorite with you guys on Shay and Erika's Stranded link up but time got away from me and I totally forgot to post it! So I'm sharing it now. I am obsessed with this Ponds dry skin cream. After having Judah, my skin got so dry. Like weird random dry patches all over my face! No one told me this could happen to you! haha. My mom has been using this cream on her face for as long as I can remember and she kept telling me to just try it. I did and it changed my skin overnight, not kidding. I get a face towel and put warm water on it and just about a quarter size amount of this cream and take my makeup off with it every night and apply it in the morning as well. I also have tried putting it on almost like a primer before putting my makeup on and it works awesome! I swear by this stuff now. Okay, rant over :)

My Mothers Day flowers are just getting prettier and prettier every day! Hydrangeas are my favorite flower besides peonies! Blake also brought me home those two roses yesterday to help make me feel better :) #sosweet

This boys smile is ALWAYS a favorite!!! Ugh. I can't get enough!

I remember getting this cute onesie at a baby shower and it was immediately one of my favorites! I couldn't wait to put it on him! #nodating #ever

Confessional Thursday

I'm so excited to have found another confessions link up! I love sharing these little tidbits with y'all because I feel like it's a fun way to get to know everyone! Here we go, confessions round two!

I confess...

...I have a prettty nasty stomach bug right now and I'm wishing B was here to help out with Judah. He's literally the easiest baby in the world to take care of but I'm just so nervous about passing this bug to him :( 

...it has been raining for what feels like weeks now and I'm totally over it. #allthebadhairdays

...I have terrible storm anxiety. I have my whole life and I feel like it just gets worse the older I get. If the word "tornado" is even mentioned you bet your booty that I will be up watching the radar until there is zero signs of a tornado. 

...I have like zero apps on my phone. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, my radar app, and two photo editing apps and thats it! B has like 200 apps on his and it drives me nuts! None of them are organized either. #OCDprobs

...I may or may not have already started planning Judah's first birthday...he's 4 months old. You can never start too early, right?? 

...we live in a really, really nice apartment right now but I'm dying to move back into a house. When we moved to Austin almost a year ago (what??) we had like no time to look & find a house. Our apartment feels like a house but sometimes you just need that cozy fireplace and a backyard, ya know?? 

That's all for this Thursday! Tomorrow is Fri-YAY and here's to hoping I feel better so we can enjoy our weekend!! See y'all tomorrow for my Friday Favorites :)
