Happy weekend! We are off on a fun little trip with the kids. We're meeting their grandma and aunts at Great Wolf Lodge and I know they'll be so surprised and happy! Since school lets out late this year, we're in the stage where we know the final days are coming but we're dragging every morning to get to school on time. A long weekend is just what we all need!

And here's a few things from around the web...

The ever wonderful Summer Bucket List by Kelle Hampton is up! 


A post full of gorgeous gardens. Give me a blanket and a good book and I'm set!


Grilled chicken wings I think we'll try this summer.


And, I just finished this book and I absolutely loved it. I'll be bringing this one on our weekend vacation. 

Have a happy weekend full of summer vibes!

A Pregnancy Update

That sweet profile! I'm smitten.

I had grand plans of documenting every moment of this pregnancy since it's most likely our last. And, yet, here we are, over halfway done and having documented almost nothing! 

Fatigue, nausea, back pain... all my constant sidekicks lately and the reason for the lack of documenting.

Baby O is doing well! She's constantly active (according to our multiple ultrasounds) and I can feel little kicks and flops a few times every day. We've had a couple anatomy scans now since she's proving difficult to get shots of everything they need. We're also keeping an eye on a few possible medical things that could pop up for me, but otherwise, things are good! 

The kids are in love! They tell her goodbye every morning when they go to school and goodnight every night when I tuck them in. They are probably even more impatient than I am for her to join us outside of the belly. 

If I'm being honest, between post-loss anxiety, feeling tired all the time, and food aversions/no appetite, it's felt pretty rough for a while. It's also the most amazing feeling to be pregnant though and create this bond with a tiny babe your body is literally growing. 

The miracle of it never fails me. Here's to the last few months!

What I Read In April

May 27, 2021

April was a good month for the World War Two backdrop historical novels! 



Anxious People - Quirky, relatable, heartwarming.

A Fire Sparkling - One of my favorites of the month. Not exactly a historical novel but it had a World War Two storyline that was really good.

If I Were You - This one was a historical novel based during the World War Two era focusing on two friends and their lives before/during/and after the war.

The Hill We Climb - Reading this was almost as good as watching it being performed during the inauguration.

Sorry I Missed You - Another quirky read. Not my favorite and it took me awhile to finish. 

A Court of Silver Flames - The final book in the ACOTAR series.

My Favorite Target Finds This Month

I popped into Target last week to look at some plants (have you seen the Hilton Carter line?) and found myself dreaming of bringing some summer touches to our backyard!


Striped blanket // Honestly, we don't have a need for a blanket outside in the summer here, but it's the perfect touch to our sofa and as summer fades away, it's just what we'll need to continue our backyard movie fests!

Clear tumbler // We recently added a dining table to our deck and I'm dreaming of outdoor place settings that are kid-friendly. 

Outdoor dining plate // These striped plates are made from bamboo melamine and perfect for outdoor dining.

Gold lanterns // Love the simple shape of these lanterns!

Jute outdoor pouf // An outdoor pouf has a key player on our back patio. The kids can easily move it around and it doubles as a foot rest and extra seating! 

Inflatable pool // They had me at the black and white stripes.

White planter // I loved this planter in person. It was a creamy white and the perfect addition to any backyard jungle. 

As usual, Target has done it again!

This is the first meal plan I've created since early March. To say this pregnancy has not been the easiest would be a little understated. But, I took advantage of feeling like I could tackle it this week and did a grocery haul. So, here's to a week of not wondering whats for dinner every day at 4 o'clock!


monday // grilled chicken with a lemon parm chopped salad (simple kit I grabbed at the store!)

tuesday // a fend for yourself night. i'm going out for book club so, Manny is tackling dinner for the kids.

wednesday // burgers on the Blackstone w/corn on the cob

thursday // chicken tostadas 

friday // chicken & potato stirfry 

What's on your menu this week?
