Life Lately

Life Lately...

Hey there!! It's been a while!! 

If you are visiting from my girl Heathers blog, Welcome!  

If you're a first time reader of my little corner of the Internet let me get you caught up in a super quick way....

I'm Tiffany,  mama to Austin (10mo) and wife to my super cute hubby Ted. 

Born and raised a Jersey girl. 

We just bought our first home together, second home we've lived in this past December. It was built in 1994 and needed some MAJOR updating so we've been doing lots and lots of renovating over the last month.  

I'll be sharing lots of updates soon. 

The transformation is amazing, I promise. I'm talking hunter green walls and pink carpets - yowza. 

So come back again to check on life at the beach, our beautiful new home, my almost one year old stinker and my crazy life!

Now, if we have already met....

Let's get to it!

Well I can say that moving IN to our new house is definitely within reach! 

Since we closed on December 30th we have been non-stop with cleaning, painting, cleaning, painting lol. 

We had a Nor'Easter about 2 weeks ago and Ted and I were at the house changing a light fixture and we heard a drip drip drip. I mean. How awful that sound is in a new house and then having NO clue where it's coming from. Well I found it and it was an old hood vent that was behind the microwave mounted above the stove (which ironically was mounted too low). Well well well. It wasn't just dripping it was straight up streaming in. So we pulled out the stove and took off the microwave (which was not fun) and tried as best we could to "fix" it for the night. What a mess. 

Thankfully that got all patched up yesterday by our contractor and will be totally done tomorrow so I can paint that spot! We had painters here 2 weeks after we got the house and they worked their butts off for a week straight. The house is a total transformation. No more purple and green walls. No more mustard yellow living room. I mean who the heck picks these colors?!?! Now it's all cozy neutrals. I can't wait to show you the finished product. 

That being said. 

That's basically been our lives lately. 

A typical day for me is, get up with Austin, feed him, eat breakfast, bathe him, give him a bottle, let him play, put him down for a nap, shower, get dressed, pay bills or make phone calls or do laundry or something. And I won't lie sometimes I sit and watch a half hour of TV. He gets up after anywhere from one to two hours then we run errands if we have to or go by the house for some reason or another, but not typically. He eats lunch, I try to eat lunch he gets to play more and do whatever. We read or play or run around doing stuff then it's bottle and nap time. Then I prep dinner, do laundry, tidy up and then my

Mom comes home then Ted. We all eat and he goes to our house, my mom and I clean up then it's bottle, story and bed time for Austin. Most nights Ted reads to him... then once he's asleep around 7/7:30 I bring my mom the monitor and head over to the house. Ted and I work until about 10:00 and head back. It's exhausting. And that's been EVERY day for a month now. 

I'm tired just typing it out. 

Once we move in completely which hopefully will be a combination of this weekend and next week - I'll share some pictures of the renovation. 

And just to keep it real, I haven't quit my Starbucks addiction. 

Yup.......

Find me on Instagram for some updates @ LadyBugg07 

So now in other news... 

I'm "liquidating" my stock of Rodan & Fields inventory. I tried to do the consultant thing and it just wasn't for me. 

Maybe I didn't push it as hard as I could have but honestly, it's just not my jam. Haha

That being said - I have several Regimens and numerous other things available at consultant prices.

Life Lately

These last few weeks of being pregnant are flying. I almost wish I could slow it down but it the same sense I can't wait to meet our baby boy! So here's a look at life lately...

Amen to this pic... I love me some pickles 

This is what I'll be wearing to my shower. That's this weekend which I thought was kinda close to my due date, but we're good! I'll post pics of it on me next week!

I wore this Pink Blush dress again this past weekend to a baby shower. It's just so comfy and I love it. Different group of people so it was all good. Lol 

The favors were so cute at the shower. The theme was elephants so there was peanuts around and brittle for the favors. 

My brother came over to help my hubby put the crib together and he showed me all these pictures of my dad that he had. I had never seen this and it just makes me laugh. He had the best smile. This was in California when he went to help a friend get his car running. 

Part of our nursery. After the shower I'll get everything finalized and share more pictures. But for now I'm loving going in there and sitting in the chair thinking about his arrival. 

Basically how I feel most days...

I absolutely love this...how true. 

And can we talk about meatball parm pizza. Oh. My. Gosh. It was amazing. Absolutely amazing. 

We bought these little elephant dresser knobs for the sliding closet doors in the nursery and I put one on yesterday and just love it!

I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday with my girlfriend and got a few things. This frame is one of them and exactly what I was picturing for the A in the nursery. That will be on the wall this weekend too!

And for fun, I was looking through my albums on Facebook and just love this picture of us on our honeymoon in Aruba. This was a perfect day. 

I sent this picture to my hubby and said it would be a perfect first Mother's Day present. I don't think he agrees. Haha #mamacandream

This was one of the first "belly" pictures I took. It was in a Kohls dressing room. I remember sending it to my best friend in Texas saying it was a maternity shirt or was going to buy and I was excited that I had a little belly....

Fast forward to 2 nights ago... Yowza!

Being pregnant has been amazing. Despite my complications and high risk, all is well and me and baby are doing great. I'll talk more about that after his safe delivery. I'm looking forward to this weekend and can't wait to share with y'all !

Life Lately

I know I'm about to sound like a broken record, but I just can't wait to stop working!
This getting out of my warm bed at 5:15am while 6.5 months pregnant is for the birds!

This past weekend we had dinner at my sister in laws (Ted's Sis)  house and it was delicious.

She made chicken parm and pasta which given the fact I can't stand chicken since like, September, and I ate it all, says something ;)

~
On Saturday I went with my brothers wife and my mom to register for my shower!

That was so much fun and a tad overwhelming all at the same time.

I had no idea what I was doing. Thankfully my SIL did! She was just like, "you need this and this and two of these and at least 4 of these" Whew!

~

Here I am on Friday night :)

 

 

We came home Friday night from somewhere, (pregnancy brain has made it absolutely impossible for me to remember where the heck we were)... and saw this.

I had thrown this huge blanket out front on the porch to take to the shelter and when we came home this little fur ball was trying to stay warm.

It broke my heart. So naturally, I moved it to a more sheltered are, between bushes, under an awning in an area that seems to be secure, and I gave him a bowl of food.

 

His fur was nice and he seemed well fed, so he very well may be someones cat, but I just had to act in the moment haha.... We haven't seen him since...

~

And this was my snack the other day.

A WaWa pretzel, Gummy Bears and Yogurt covered Raisins...

Haha random combo but oh so yummy!

 

My cousin got us this HOME sign for the entry table and I finally put batteries in it and lit it up for the first time! It's so cute!!

 

I made home-made pizza the other day and it was so yummy.

This time I used jar sauce that I doctored up a bit and it wasn't AS good as my own, but it was still good. I also globbed some ricotta cheese on top too!

Yum. I want that now.

 

While we were at Babies R Us registering, I saw this and just absolutely loved it.

We need to have a little girl next. I love all things ladybug and this is just the cutest!

 

And I believe I posted it earlier, but Ted's nickname at work is Legend. Not sure why,  but whatever.

So I got a 2T shirt that says Legend on it kind of similar to this.

I saw this in the store and grabbed it then looked at the price tag..... $54

REALLY?!?!!? For a baby outfit?!

No Thanks.... so I snapped a pic and moved on.

 

And this is the stroller I registered for!

Its an all in one and I love how smooth it is to push.

If any of you mamas out there have any other suggestions on what to add to my registry that you think is an absolute MUST HAVE please please let me know in the comments!!

 

Happy Tuesday!
