Here’s to the weekend people. I’m so happy this month is almost over! Although I don’t like to wish time away, I’m not fond of January. We spend lots of time playing in our empty house with tiny toy cars, eating popcorn, and taking pictures together. January is really not so bad if you have a baby Beau in your life. When he takes naps I get in a workout, or I browse online and find things I can’t stop thinking about like these in the color pink!!!! I’m clearly ready for spring. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

It’s been a very busy week and weekend with more stress than we’d like to have so we are really hoping this week goes a lot smoother! Blake’s sweet grandma passed away and we had the funeral Saturday so it’s been an emotional time over here. Last week on a particularly hard day I put Beau in his highchair for lunch and just rested for a minute on the floor (no couch problems). It was only a second to myself, but it was very much needed. And then of course I thought what a great idea to get out the phone snap a few pics of my sweet boy. He brings me so much joy always, but especially in those hard moments he is the greatest blessing in my life. If I have him (& his dad) I have everything. Here’s to a happy week!

Things have been going well over here! We are in the process of furnishing our house very, very slowly. Goodness furniture and home decor is expensive! Just one of the many reasons I love Target so dearly. With having hard floors through our entire main level we needed rugs. I have been obsessed with this rug for months but couldn’t stomach the price tag. We decided a good compromise was getting the runner instead of the huge one I originally wanted and goodness I am in LOVE with it. I’m still waiting on this one for the main area. Our couch is ordered but apparently takes 8 weeks?! So looks like we’ll be sitting down sometime in the spring.  I’ll show pictures once things get put together but for now our main level is one huge empty space! Beau thinks it’s really fun to scream at the top of his lungs and hear it echo. Blake and I want to rip out our hair every time. So as you can see from these pics we spend a lot of time sitting on the floor! We have the best time racing cars and doing spins in our wide open space! I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far. Thanks for reading my friends!

Saturday night we stayed in after a long day of running errands. One of those errands did include a new couch that we finally purchased for our house! This has been a long time coming so it was very exciting to finally find something we both loved. Anyway, my mother in law bought me some gluten free pizza mix so we decided to give it a try! I have made pizza a few times but it’s always been with frozen dough where you just add toppings. This mix you actually get your hands in and roll out dough (first timer over here!). It was honestly the most delicious pizza I’ve ever had! Blake loved it too and he’s not even a gluten free eater. I have celiac disease so gluten is not optional for me, but with pizza tasting like this you won’t even miss the gluten. We topped ours with sausage and turkey bacon and I am still dreaming about it! I was hoping to have Beau help me with the pizza dough but he fell asleep while we were running errands so he was out cold! I hope you all had a great weekend!

It is 2016 now. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the year. So many wonderful things happened in 2015:

My baby turned one!

We built a new home.

I finally started my blog.

Blake made great strides in his job.

I kept blogging even when I had doubts in myself.

Met new friends!

And so many more great things. I really enjoyed 2015 and as usual can’t believe how fast the year went. I have no doubts this year will be the same way. I’ve never been one to make big resolutions or set numerous goals for the new year. But this year I have a few personal and professional goals for myself and hopefully I’ll see more growth in myself this year. I’m so excited to see what’s in store! I hope your New Year is everything you hope it to be! Truth is, my 2016 is already made with these two boys of mine. I love to look back and see how much Beau has changed. It makes me cry to see his fat cheeks and how fast those slimmed down :(! Thanks for reading friends! I love you guys.
