February in the 505

Although February is the shortest month of the year, it seemed to drag on a little this time, possibly because we have a lot to look forward to in March; three family Birthdays (including Addy's), a baby shower and hopefully the first glimpse of spring. I love spring!

So here's what we have been up to while we anxiously awaiting the change of the season.

Tea Time // 18 Weeks // Makeup! // Cute Girl // Juicing! // Sleepy // Mom Daughter // Who's Ready for Spring // Happy Monday // Dress Like Dad // Baby Lovin' // Smile!

Five for Friday

Check out other Fridays here.

1. You make me laugh when you talk about the side effects of only eating juice for lunch. I won't repeat them since it seems mildly inappropriate, kind of like me accidentally teaching Addy the word "fart."
2. At the end of the day, you always talk about how sweet Addy is.
3. When making fun of our upcoming girls night, you referenced Downton Abbey, Etsy, Pinterest and the Pioneer Woman in silly ways.
4. You said you almost got your first convert to juicing.
5. On Sunday you woke up, plunged the toilet, made french toast for Addy and her cousin, fixed the sink, cleaned the sink up when it flooded and did all of this with out grumbling. A day of rest, it was not.

P.S. I love you :)

A Random List for This Snowy Day

- We woke up to snow this morning. I guess the gopher was right and winter will be sticking around a little longer. Bummer.

- At least that means, cute kids beanies (like the ones in my Etsy shop, wink wink) will be in demand a little longer

- I've already had a few sales from my shop, which is more than I ever expected to happen.

- Speaking of Etsy, I'm addicted. I have the app on my phone and I've found way to many things to spend money on. It's like shopping at a cute little boutique in your pjs.

- The other day, Addy asked to listen to "the clapping song" on our church's Cause for Praise CD. It's such a little thing but it made my heart happy and hopeful that the little effort I am making in putting Christ-centered things around her, isn't for nothing.

- I've tried to watch the Downton Abbey season finale online 3 days in a row, at apparently the same time everyone else is because the video won't load. Grr!

- During my first prenatal appointment, the doctor told me that things would start to fall apart a lot faster this time around and boy was she right! I'm not even 20 weeks yet but I feel like I could be entering my third trimester; so many aches and pains that I don't remember happening at this stage last time.

- I've never been much of a baker but I think we might have to make baking a regular activity. I love that it's something Addy and I can do together and since I've developed a little bit of a sweet tooth during my second trimester, I wouldn't mind having sweets around. My hips might not feel the same way though.

- We got to spend all of last weekend with Addy's cousin Carter. It was great but now we all miss our little buddy and Addy goes around saying "I miss Carcar!"

- Matt and I watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" last night and we're determined that that won't be us. So, today, we are off to the store to buy lots of fruits and veggies to juice. Addy had some lettuce, carrott, apple and orange juice last night and she didn't hate it!

Happy Thursday Friends! Stay warm!

Five for Friday Valentine's Edition

To my Valentine of 8 years,

I love that you brought home roses for me and a granola bar for Addy.
I love that you took Addy out to lunch on Valentine's Day and that I got to tag along.
I love that you created a "How Well Do We Know Each Other" survey for our 8th Valentine's Day.
I love that we got the same score (even though technically, I won) and that I actually found out new things about you. (Lance Armstrong? Really? J/K).
I love that your career hero is my Grandpa.

Love,

Your forever Valentine.

P.S. Did you know that in another 8 years we will have a 10 year old, Lord willing, an 8 year old and who knows how many other kids, pets, houses, cars, hobbies, etc. Yikes!

I {Heart} Valentine's Day!

I love Valentine's Day. Partly because everything is pink and red and glittery and so much fun, but mostly because Matt asked me to be his girlfriend on Valentine's Day, 8 years ago. Wow!

We've really been feeling the love in our house this week, making Valentine's, baking cookies and going out to lunch. I've always liked this holiday, but it's even more fun with a kiddo.

Hope your day is filled with lots of love!
