Friday again already? These weeks are seriously flying by! We were in doctor appointment hell this week – we had at least one every. single. day. – but I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. This weekend we are kicking off Nathan’s birthday with a few family celebrations and my bestie, Megan, and I are spending the day together tomorrow which we haven’t done in forever.
1. Be prepared for me to talk about these earrings all the time! They are actually from one of my Christmas gift guides and they are such a steal, I gifted them to myself. 
I have the set of four tear drop style that comes with a gold, silver, blush, and maroon pair and I love love love them. They are the perfect size and very lightweight! Usually $16 they are listed on Amazon at the time I’m writing this for only TEN DOLLARS!!
2. How is our baby girl two months old already? She is starting to regularly smile and coo and UGH it’s just the sweetest thing. She loves “talking” with her daddy, watching her brother do anything and everything, and when mommy holds her for naps (but only in certain positions). She doesn’t like being in her car seat (screams every dang time), laying in her bed for naps, or being worn in the Solly wrap (SOB). She’s going to have to get over that last one real quick because we are heading back to work next week for real. Insert terrified looking emoji here.
3. We’ve gotten a few inches here and there of snow over the last few weeks and this boy has been LOVING it! I’m pretty sure he would be perfectly happy if it was never warm again at this point! Why kids (or anyone for that matter) want to freeze their butts off playing in this cold, wet stuff I will never know. 
Not my thing. Luckily, Nathan is a rock star and I have a good excuse (the baby) to stay inside!
4. With all the snow and rain we’ve had over the last few weeks I’ve pretty much exclusively worn these duck boots when we are out and about. They are currently full price (still a fair price) but keep your eye on them and they will be on sale soon enough. I got mine for less than $30!! I always try to share on Facebook or Instagram Stories when they go on sale, too.
5. Marie Kondo got me, guys. One episode of Tidying Up was all it took for me to want to take everything out of every drawer and cabinet in this house, throw it all away, and begin again. I literally purged my closet and refolded all of the clothes in my dresser as I was watching the episode, ha! I’m slowly making my was through everyone else’s drawers and other areas of the house, trying to do at least one small thing every day. See what area I did yesterday over on my Instagram Story!
Hope you all have a great and relaxing weekend!
