Unfortunately, I have to start off with our unhappy news.  We lost our sweet Graham.  Natalie and Tad took him in when he was skin and bones and nourished him in every way possible.  He brought so much happiness to our family.

 Spent a rainy Saturday morning brunching with Amanda from Girl About Columbus and Liz from Breathe It All In at Alchemy.  We chatted over avocado toast and smoothies about all things mommy.  Love these ladies!

Finally got caught up on my snail mail…

 …which included the loads of boxes that have been arriving.  We have not really had the time to go together to pick out what we need, so we opted to have most of it shipped and it was like Christmas morning going through all of it!

The babe and I at 33 weeks!  We threw ourselves a pity party since we didn’t get to go to Florida last weekend and went on a little shopping spree!  We almost have Christmas done!

What the what?! It’s November!!  I feel a certain anxiousness about Christmas’ arrival, but also can’t bear to put away my pumpkins.  Gonna just be a weird hodge podge for awhile!

THE ROYALS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!  So stinkin’ incredible!  My mom was 8 months pregnant with me the last time they won the world series in ’85 and so it just feels like fate.  Can’t wait for our baby to grow up watching the boys in blue!

The baby room is 99% complete.  Come on baby!  We are ready for ya!

What snazzy things have you all been up to?  Hope you have all had an excellent start to November!  Have a great weekend!

Good morning!!  And happy almost Halloween!  I pretty much celebrate this holiday all month long by binge eating candy and watching Hocus Pocus on repeat.  This weekend  I am flying solo as Matt has jetted off to our dear friends’ wedding in Florida.  I am incredibly sad to be missing it, but with this baby on the horizon in less than 7 weeks, flying just wasn’t an option for me.  SO to cheer myself up, I have planned a mega girly, treat yo’ self, relaxing weekend.  Here’s what’s on the agenda starting at 3:30 today.

  1. Cozying up with pillows and lots o’ blankets is a top priority.  It is absolutely freezing in our house and Matt is a real stickler about that thermostat.  I’m sure he has an app that would alert him if I even walked passed it.
  2. Baking!  Tonight I am thinking pumpkin bread and tomorrow morning these pumpkin spice waffles.
  3. When Matt is not around I actually get to brew my decaf coffee and indulge in perhaps more than my one daily cup.  If I could, I would drink coffee all day long.  Mostly because I have a thing for coffee mugs.
  4. You guys.  How stunning is this chair?  I definitely have some lounging on the agenda this weekend and I certainly wouldn’t mind doing it in this beaut.
  5. I was wearing Essie Smokin’ Hot well before it was seasonally appropriate.  What can I say?  I’m obsessed.
  6. Cute matches and candles.
  7. I was down another three pounds at this week’s appointment.  Soooooooo I’m thinking I can indulge more than normal this weekend?  I want these pretzels!
  8. Cozy slippers are the first thing happening when I get home.  I cannot wait.

I also have high hopes of getting out to do a little shopping this weekend, but I am having a whole lotta trouble with my hips.  I am almost done Christmas shopping and I am determined to finish in the next week or so!  May have to resort to staying cuddled up and having it shipped.  But there’s just something about hitting’ the shops for the holidays!

So what about you all?  What do you have up your sleeves for the big holiday weekend?  Hope you have a marvelous weekend!

We have hit the single digit countdown and it’s about all we can do to get ourselves geared up for dinner out.  It feels reminiscent of the first trimester tiredness, except we know how limited our time is just the two of us–so we have really tried to get out and enjoy this weather!

FINALLY found some time and energy to get my hair done and let me tell you, it was a total game-changer.

The boots I mentioned here arrived and I really haven’t worn anything since.  They are absolutely the best.

So much to do–find a pediatrician, daycare provider, put together the baby room, pay bills, prepare meals, thank you notes, BUT Hocus Pocus was beaconing.  FYI–all of these things are still not done.

The babe and I survived our 30 week check up and I was actually down a pound so I decided we need a smoothie and an asiago cheese bagel!


Speaking of smoothies, I am obsessed with them right now.  Particularly the green passion power smoothie from Panera.  Delicious.

I actually have today off work and I have BIG plans to get things done!  What are some things you recommend in the last few weeks?
Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

A few weekends ago, I traveled up to Indiana for a bridal shower for my sweet cousin Amber and got to see this pretty lady, my dad, grandma, and all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins.  It was so fun getting to be with them and for them to get to feel the baby move!  It’s been hard being away from family and not being able to share all of the little milestones!


Got this sweet tee from Jean and June and started getting all kinds of teary.  Can’t believe we get to meet this little nugget in less than 3 months!


 FALL!!!!


We settled on this stroller and car seat set.  We got it all set up and things got REAL.


The babe and I at 28 weeks!  We have officially hit the 3rd trimester!

AND finally….October is here, my friends!! Ah, sweet, sweet October.
Plus, my baby brother turns 24 today…what?!  Hope you have a happy day Nicky poo!
So that’s it for me, what have you all been up to?
