a post about nothing but my calves

I’ve been sitting here staring at these pictures of my babe and getting lost in a daze feeling no inspiration to write anything. You know those moments when you get writers block and so you literally stare at the computer screen forever with not one word in your brain? But at least it’s Friday. After what has felt like the longest week it is finally the weekend! And also I over worked my calves in the gym and I literally have been walking on my toes for two days. Like haven’t set my heals down in 48 hours on account of my pain. YOW! I guess that’s what happens when you work your calves once a year. Enough of my rambling (insert monkey covering his eyes in embarrassment emoji). I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We plan on hiking (if my calves show me some mercy), brunching, and relaxing. What are you guys doing?

Thanks for reading!

So Beau’s Hunter boots came in the mail last week and he has been in love with them. As soon as they arrived we tried them on with nothin but his diaper. He stopped around all over the house like a boss. Plus he was sporting a little diaper wedgie and nothing is sweeter than baby buns.

 

Happy Wednesday!

This weekend my mom, sis, the kids, and myself went to Gardner Village to eat treats and get in the Halloween spirit! We go every year before Halloween. My nieces love to get their faces painted and see all the witch decorations. Beau was only 4 months old last year so this time he really enjoyed running around, and his first cake pop which he devoured and threw his hands in the air in approval. It was a perfect day spent with some of my favorite people. Plus I still can’t get over how my mom caught Beau smiling and clapping in the first picture! It’s a miracle he even sat down so it’s getting framed for sure. Have a great Monday guys! I’m a bit under the weather so I’m hoping I can sneak in a nap between chasing this monkey!

late night ramblings

Just laying in bed blogging past midnight when I should be long asleep. I guess it’s technically Friday so hooray for the weekend! My Blake is back home from being gone for work for a few days. I’m the wife that HATES when my husband goes out of town for work (which is only 1-2 times per year). The babe and I had a great time just the two of us but we definitely feel more complete when dad is around. I’ll sleep much more soundly now that I have him laying next to me. Except for the snoring he does occasionally! I can always live without that. And now I’m rambling which means I am really tired. Beau will be up in 6 hours so better sleep while I can before I have to chase that monkey again tomorrow. Enjoy your weekend! We plan on hiking and sneaking in a nap or two. What are you guys doing?

Around here…..

 

It’s getting chillier so I put Beau in beanies basically every day. I love a baby in a beanie.

We’ve started teaching B how to eat with a fork himself and it kills me every time. SO CUTE.

I took him to Barnes and Noble to read him some books but instead he decided it’s more fun to pull ALL of the books off the shelves.

Beau spotted a kit kat and took a big bite (wrapper included) before I could stop him. He was in heaven until he was caught.

I realize as I’m typing this that my house looks disastrous in these pictures with my sheets torn off and a mess all over the floor. It doesn’t always look like this! Only most of the time.

Dad is out of town for work so the babe and I get to be joined at the hip for 3 solid days. We miss him like crazy but when dad’s not around I’m his favorite so I’m eating it up.

He’s so used to all the kisses I give those squishy cheeks that he doesn’t even fight it. He surrenders to the mama love.

all about skin

IMG_6352 copySo you know how sometimes you scroll through your instagram feed and see all of this flawless, poreless skin?  I swear everyone I see on there has this glowing complexion and I’m all ‘what filter are you using to look this amazing?’ (This picture is from when I was pregnant and I’m pretty sure photoshopped by a professional!) I am someone who is crazy about skincare. As in I have tried almost every skincare line known to man from drug store brands to fancy expensive creams. Cetaphil, Cervae, Aveeno, Juice Beauty, Bliss, Josie Maran, Eminence, Estee Lauder, SK-II, LaMer to name a few. Plus a Clarisonic and the PMD. Through trying all of these many products I have found a few favorites that I love that I want to share with all of you! But really I want to hear what you guys love because I am ALWAYS up to trying new things. Like I just ordered THIS and am so excited to try it because I’ve heard amazing things. Have any of you tried it?!

But first about my skin….So I have fine skin I guess. I have freckles and a fairly clear complexion but of course have the dreaded dark spots from healing blemishes and such. I never broke out in jr high or high school. Instead I got my breakouts when I was a whopping 25 years old. Yeah it was fun. And I swear sometimes I still breakout like I’m a 14 year old when I’m actually 28 and feel like I should be past this stuff. That being said here are some of my favorite products that help me stay blemish free!

CalmSkinChamomileCleanser HR00737052641317Clear Skin Probiotic15417321k2-_18b755d3-db0e-474d-9991-dc2895724707.v2.jpg-b03e2255cd200e80b2024c59c779464c11d2750f-optim-450x4505110_facialrecoveryoil_hr

 

Calm Skin Chamomile Cleanser– So gentle yet effective at removing makeup for my super sensitive skin.

SK-II Essence– Balances out the PH of your skin. This is a fairly recent buy but I saw a difference immediately in the tone of my skin.

Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturizer– This makes your face tingle and feel fresh. Plus it keeps skin clear! It’s so amazing!

Facial Recover Oil– I am a huge fan of oils on your face. This one is so luxurious and makes your skin baby soft. Plus it lasts forever since you only need a few drops.

Clean & Clear spot treatment– The best spot treatment I’ve found to really kill those zits!

Honest Organic Healing Balm– I love this to give my cheeks a dewy look. Or when I’m super dry I slather it on everywhere. Beau and I share this one since it’s great for his eczema and diaper rash.

 

Please let me know your favorites!! Have the happiest Monday!

Friday a wahooo! Today it is actually feeling like fall which I am so happy about! I plan on trying my first ever pumpkin spice latte this weekend. Can you believe I’ve never had one? Apparently it’s a big deal. We also plan on lounging  in sweats and watching general conference for our church in between naps. I also have to mention that I’m obsessed with these shoes and this bag/backpack! I’m pretty much a sucker for most backpacks and this one does not disappoint. And the shoes, well they are just really cool and comfy.

Have a great weekend guys! Carve a pumpkin and watch a scary movie! It’s almost Halloween!!!

Swimming, bath time (in the sink), playing outside, sleep. Just a few of the adventures Beau had today. Pretty sure I’ll never get over how he looks in that tiny swimsuit ever in my life. Thank you for all the kind words wishing us a happy anniversary! We had a great time having a baby free night. So much so that we took like 2 pictures when I really wanted to take 200. I hope you’re all having a wonderful week!

ps. You guys my house is almost done being framed!! I will post progress pics soon. We are about 2 months out till we get to move in. It’s been such a long process so to see progress we are shouting hallelujah, amen.

Thanks for reading!

three years.

Today makes 3 years of being married to my Blake. I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone! I look back on my wedding pictures and remember that day as one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything that day happened too fast probably because it felt perfect, and all of the good things pass by far too quickly. As lovely as that day was I am more grateful for the years we have been husband and wife and eventually mom and dad. I am the luckiest to be married to this incredible man that I love more each day if it’s even possible! Thank you for being patient, kind, tender, funny, hard working, and most of all, thank you for being mine. I love you forever husband, happy 3 years!

a night away

Processed with VSCOcam with f2 presetProcessed with VSCOcam with hb2 presetProcessed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

Happy Friday to you! Are you sick of pictures of this babe and me? This weekend my Blake and I are having a night out on the town and staying at the fancy hotel where we got married to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. The actual day is on the 28th but it’s a Monday so we are celebrating a little early. My mom is watching Beau while we’re away for a night and I’m already missing him just thinking about it! I haven’t been away from my baby overnight before and I’m getting anxiety! Don’t get me wrong, my mom is the best sitter and I don’t worry about him for a second. Plus it will be really nice to sleep in, like really sleep in; but boy will I miss him like crazy! I am really excited though to have a date night and celebrate 3 years married to my love with no baby interruptions. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend full of pumpkin spice latte’s and lots of love.
