Since lists are pretty much my favorite kind of post and I love getting out all of the small, funny things I want to share in one fell swoop, I thought I’d start a (semi) regular blog series of Weekly Lists. Who knows what all they might contain or how frequently they will appear, but I’m going to enjoy them whenever they decide to show up.
- I know I haven’t shared any pictures of our living room since my weekend run to IKEA, but I promise those are still on my radar. I started painting my dining room chairs over the weekend and since I now have an official deadline (more on that later) I’m kicking it into high gear.
- Sophie’s birthday party is in just under a month and I’m not freaking out yet. That is a very good sign, but I’m sure it’s short-lived. I have most of the decorations purchased and/or designed, the menu planned and the cakes ordered. Hopefully I can get the final details hammered out and start sharing my ideas with you soon. Let’s just say it involves lots of books.
- Did you read about this on Monday? I’m trying to decide what I think about it. On the one hand, I really want my girls as safe as possible for as long as possible. On the other hand, I’m thinking I’ll be in a rear-facing booster myself before it’s all over with.
- Do you shop Land’s End? Apparently they have “overstocked” items on their website and there are tons of great kids clothes on clearance. I bought the Belle a box full of stuff at an average of $6 for each piece. I got a promo code for $20 off your purchase of $75 or more and free shipping AND you can pay with PayPal. Score!
- Josh started his new job this week and we are so thrilled. Now if only I could convince him to do drop off in the mornings and make dinner for us every night and we’d be doing good.
- A few “new to me” blogs I’ve adopted as daily reads since the beginning of the year that you might like to try: Abode Love, Skinny Taste, To My Wife, and 7th House on the Left.
- After her bath time on Monday evening I was snuggling with Ella and noticed that her eyebrows were a little wet. I looked at my hand after I rubbed her eyebrow and she started giggling. She told me she put Vaseline on them because she wanted them to be shiny. I’m in love with this kid.
- I read this book yesterday. Seriously, yesterday. It was SO good. You can download it for $6.13 like I did and read it on your lunch break!
- Finally, we’re taking family photos this weekend in a big green field with our dog and fantastic photog. The girls have new dresses and headbands, I have a new top and daddy has a button down found in the normal rotation that just happens to coordinate. I’m excited for our first family session as a family of four.
The lists you guys leave in the comment section some times crack me up! Have anything you want to share? Leave us a link to your weekly list or share below.
