This poor blog has been neglected this past week. We have honestly just had a lot going on – some hard times for friends and family – and general busyness. But I miss blogging, so today I’ve got a long post to catch up on our life lately.
I will try and briefly recap what has been happening…including Todd’s birthday (yesterday!). I’m copying my friend‘s style and attempting to write this in a list form:
Carrying: My laptop, always. I am in the midst of planning several events for our church, which is keeping me busy. I also like to have my laptop available for blogging and recipe recording. That is pretty accurate of life lately: comfy maternity clothes, dirty-ish hair in a bun or cute hat, and my laptop
Visiting: With my best friend for so many years, Casey! I took a mini road trip to have lunch with her, then that weekend she and her husband (they live in France) came to stay with us! We also got to visit with another friend from home. It was pretty perfect, and now we are on a mission to get them here permanently!
Eating: Green smoothies, Bakerita paleo muffins, clean-out-the-fridge salads, Rx bars…and unhealthy things like dark chocolate almond milk and these gluten free “thin mints”
Instead of making a special trip to a health foods store, I order Rx bars.
These cookies taste JUST LIKE the real Thin Mints. If you or your kids are gluten free eaters, you’ve got to try them. (I may or may not have eaten the entire box)
Watching: The Olympics, of course. I love watching women’s gymnastics, and I have squeezed my pregnant self into this Honor Roll Designs tee in honor of the victorious 1996 team.
Growing: I am 30+ weeks pregnant, and am having a really hard time believing a newborn will be joining our crew in a couple months! But, we are very excited of course.
Boyfriend maternity jeans are my 3rd trimester best friend. My pair + similar and another similar
Celebrating: My husband’s birthday!
Dating: Both of my boys! We went out for a family date night this past Friday. We took Davis to a Japanese steak house for the first time. He was unsure at first, but then ended up really enjoying the experience, and the food.
I have missed the Friday Favorites link-ups recently, but I will be back to join tomorrow!
Love love love the short black dress.
Thanks, lady! Asos maternity and I’ve worn it so many times this summer.
You look so so great!!! I know you are getting so excited!
Thank you, Owen. 🙂 I am trying to keep myself a tiny bit pulled together these days. We are so excited! Counting down the weeks
You look so cute! What jeans are you wearing in the RxBar picture?
Thank you! They are actually maternity, and I linked them on Thursday’s post. I am all about boyfriend jeans – so comfy!
