Happy Friday friends!! It’s gonna be a busy, but GOOD one, I can feel it! I saw a super fun post idea over at Chelsea’s Blog The Girl Who Loved to Write — so adorable, go check her out!! Her post is “Coffee Date: Four Cups in” and while I don’t drink coffee, we all know I love my tea!!
So I’m sipping on some Earl Grey de la Creme with warmed vanilla soy milk and figured I’d take a few minutes to chat with you! If you were sitting with me enjoying some tea, I’m sure we would have SO much to talk about. The sun is shining, and we are all dying for some warmer weather! 38 degrees is not Spring. It is trying though, the sun and the warm weather that is…
…I jumped on the ‘preset bandwagon’ and am trying out some fun filters. #iwantaprettyinstafeedtoo I am laughing at myself, you can laugh too.
…I’d tell you that I’m really looking forward to Bailey getting some formal dog training. We love her dearly, but she’s a beast and we cannot wait to get a better handle on her.
…I have not been great about going to the gym. I was putting ME first for a bit and it was working, but this whole working, mom life/wife life thing crept right up on me again! Boo. I have been walking the dogs, doing a little yoga at home, but it’s not the same.
…We have no big plans this weekend other than Brooke’s dance photos. It’s also hard to top the Disco last weekend, so I guess low key means that I can read my TBR book pile?
…Speaking of I’m LOVING the current book that I am reading, Daisy Jones & The Six. I’m totally calling it a slow burn–as in I hold it and love the words that I’m reading, but am sincerely savoring them instead of flying through it like I do sometimes. I legit told my husband I felt sorry for him yesterday, because he doesn’t love books the way that I do. It’s hard to explain, but man the smell, the feel of the pages, and a really good book–there is nothing like it!! I highly recommend this one if you’re a literary lover and a fan of music.
…I’m currently listening to Start with Why on audible. Fascinating stuff I tell ya! If you’re a lover of learning or in business for yourself or even run/manage a team of others, you’d get a lot out of this one. I was blown away by the part on Southwest airlines and also why Apple was so successful.
…In other book news, I received an advanced reader copy of The girl He Used to Know and it launched this week. It’s SUCH a beautiful story–it’s also one that I have a hard time putting into words. You just need to read it; I don’t want to ruin a single second of it for anyone! It really is worth the read.
…I’m trying to figure out which direction to send my son as far as sports go. We tried a little soccer thing last year, but he ran off the field a lot and it seemed a bit overpriced for what it was. Brooke has her dancing but Bradley is 4 and needs something. I’m thinking this Summer I’ll get him into the Y or something. I know he has A LOT of energy and needs to be around other kiddos and under someone else’s supervision than just mine!
…My spray tan is fading and that makes me sad! LOL I need to order some new faux tan lotion or at home spray. What’s your fave??
…I’m already experiencing Spring Break envy. We have no plans to travel anywhere and I wish that we did! We are going to go away this Summer though, so researching is in full effect. Any suggestions for 2 kiddos 4 & 6?! We loved Lake George and had a ball last year in South Carolina, but we aren’t sure where to travel to next…
…I need to head back to Trader Joe’s and check out their goods again! It’s been some time and when I was there last, this tea (what inspired these thoughts!) caught my eye. What are your TJ favorites?
Have a fabulous weekend!
