Do me a favor...

If you have a brother or sister, tell them you love them today. 

Even if it's a text, email, facebook message, or phone call, tell them you love them (even if you don't really like them today). 


They probably already know you love them but sometimes in the business of life you don't know when the next time you'll see or talk to them again. And who doesn't like to be told you're loved?!


So just do it...even if they are driving you nuts! :)

Friday Favorites

I usually post for 'faux' insta-friday but since my phone is slowly dying and I'm too cheap to get a new one and have been to sick this week to deal with it I've decided to do a Friday Favorites post :)

I've had a lot of time snuggling on the couch with my favorite 9 month old, watching tv and browsing the internet... productive no?!

Here are a few of my favs from this week...


Favorite Recipe
Because I've been under the weather I've done my go-to dinners, but I did buy some artichokes at the store that I knew were going to go back if I didn't find something do to with them. A few clicks and I found this recipe. So yummy and didn't need any extra dipping sauce (because lets face it, eating whole artichokes is just an excuse to eat a lot of mayo-yuck!)

Favorite Summer Project
Everlee's room has this awkward space behind her door. It's too small for decorations but it's big enough just to be weird. Then, viola, I found this... I think this will be a perfect summer project!

Favorite "to-buy" Item
Most of what I find on the internet is for me to craft, cook or clean. I've had these on my list to buy Everlee. I realize she isn't even a year but how cute would these be for her room?!

Favorite Laugh
There was a lot of feeling sorry for myself this week...but laughing makes everything better right?! I watched a lot of YouTube, Jim Gaffigan's Mr. Universe (again), The Office, and searched "Ha" on Pinterest....
I think this topped it! The caption read, "Nice Try"

Bwaahahahahah!

Have a fabulous Friday!

Insta-Friday, one is the loneliest number

I'm sad I only have one picture to share this week, I have more but it might spoil some surprises for a couple parties we are having this weekend. But it's a pretty good representation of what our week looked like!

I'm linking up with Life Rearranged

I'm eating my words when I said, "I can't wait until she crawls!" Because about 15.5 seconds after she started to crawl she also decided to pull herself up on EVERYTHING! Sheesh give your momma some time to adjust would ya?!

She also can destroy a newly cleaned room in under 10 seconds...awesome. I'm thinking these leash mom's aren't looking so silly. 

Oh, Bee Tea Dub (which is how Greg texts me BTW weirdo). We had her 9 month appointment last week, she has shockingly only gained 2 pounds since her 6 month appointment, she did grow a few inches to level her "percentages" out. Do you know what the doctor said to us? Wait for it...

Doctor K: "Why don't you come back in in a few weeks for a weight check to make sure she is on track."

Me: "Umm, do you SEE those thighs?! I think she has 3 ankles right now"

Doctor K: "That is true, still come back in if you think of it"

Me: "Right, okay...we'll do that"

I hope you all have a fab Friday!

Insta-Friday!

I missed my insta-friday post last week because we were on a little vacation in beautiful Portland, so here are a few from our week!

Last day in Portland. Walking around downtown on daddy's shoulders. She would smile and wave at people walking by...such a ham!

Our evening walk was extra beautiful the other night! I secretly love this house, I walk by it twice during our walk. Its a little run down but I love it!

FINALLY 2 years after planting this beast she decided to bloom!

LOVES to sit in the window in the mornings and watch the birds get worms! 

Well that wasn't very entertaining but that is our life! I'm more than pleased with it! :)
