August Mid-Month Confessions

It's been a while since I've blogged. I have just been so busy.
Our house is officially BACK on the market as of today!  

So I have been cleaning and purging and painting etc for a few weeks.

Throw in our blind pup that is still adjusting and our 5 month old and the fact that it's been like 100° for the past 2 weeks, it's been a bit crazy!! 

Needless to say, I have some confessions so here we go.....

(1)
The real estate photographer came last Wednesday to photograph our house again since we renovated the kitchen and updated some things.... So we all remember my shoving my laundry in the car thing....well surprisingly, the laundry was done! Shocking, I know...

But I used the laundry baskets (plural) to toss everything on top of the dressers and framed pictures and anything else that was "out".

It's still sitting in the back room. I need to empty it out. I'm just not in the mood. 

 

Buuuuuuuut - the pictures came out amazing!!

 

(2)
I haven't cooked dinner in a while. Well consistently at least. We've been eating at my moms. Or ordering in. It's just been way too dang hot! But tonight I'm cooking. We went to Whole Foods yesterday so we're all stocked up! 

(3)
We booked our anniversary trip and I honestly cannot wait to go away with my husband. We haven't gone anywhere since the babies been born which was only five months ago so that's no big thing. But him and I could use a night away. My mom is watching Austin & Jake and we're going for one night to Ocean City, MD. We can not wait!! 

 

 

(4)
Once our house sells we're moving in with my mom until we find something else or she does. She's been talking about down sizing since her house is kinda large. So we'll see if that is an actual true feeling. Then we'll buy her house. We just haven't 100% decided yet. But regardless. I can't wait to live with my mom. And neither can Ted lol.

I love love love being a full time mama. But I wanted to do something to make some "shopping money" so I joined Rodan & Fields as an independent consultant!
I'm so excited about it.
I got my consultant kit and started using the products already and OMG I'm in love!!
The eye cream alone is just amazing!! 

 

If you are interested in purchasing products, becoming a preferred customer (which has TONS of perks) or becoming a consultant, please email me!!
I'd love to talk to you about these amazing products and an amazing business opportunity!!

I'm sure there's more to confess... but my brain just isn't coming up with anything more!

Have a great week!!

Today...I'm 34

So today I celebrate my 34th Birthday. 

In honor of that I'm sharing 34 things about me... 

In no particular order:

1. I'm currently obsessed with the movie The Martian

2. I hate the smell of lilies because they remind me of my dad's funeral. 

3. I used to "snack on" cans of rainbow chip frosting (like, 8 years ago)

4. My best friend will be here tomorrow and I literally want today to be over so "Amanda Day" is here. 

5. I've always wanted to be a florist and own my own shop - but )refer to #2)

6. I've been in the mood to road trip to Wisconson - Elkhart Lake to be specific because:

7. I've "cleaned" Austin's paci by sticking it in my mouth #noshame

8. I constantly say "when I win the lottery" yet don't EVER play. 

9. My favorite place to eat dinner out is Houlihan's. 

10. I believe I have carpal tunnel severely and I wear wrist braces at night but haven't actually had that confirmed by a

Doctor. The numbness and pain is pretty bad though. 

11. I recently started a Willow Tree collection. I've had the Nativity for a few years, but got the pregnant mama, new mama and Ted got the new daddy so I'm currently looking for some type of shelving or cabinet display thing for it. 

12. Ted and I call Austin "moose" - it just sorts stuck one day and I saw this in hobby lobby yesterday but left it there since it was $70!

13. I watch Wheel of Fortune with Tes just about every night were home. 

14. We talked about how I wanted the Toyota Venza but we decided to keep my Camry instead. Well now I want a VW Toureg 

15. My oldest nephew turned 7 today and while he was getting ready to have everyone sing to him he asked if Austin could sit on his lap. My heart melted. 

16. I've always had the desire to live in the south. Somewhere like Marietta Geoegia or Alabama or Texas somewhere. My full dream is to have Chip & Joanna renovate a house for me. 

#keepdreamingjerseygirl

17. I talk to my best friend Katie on the phone every single week day from 8:10am til about 8:45 and then sporadically throughout the day. 

18. Adjusting to Jakes blindness has been hard. Emotionally for me and physically for him. It's heartbreaking. 

19. I put Chapstick on at least 10 times a day. 

20. I drink probably half a gallon of iced tea a day (homemade that I make just tea bags and lemons)

21. I'm obsessed with Whole Foods

22. I just went to a World Market for the first time ever last month and LOVED IT

23. We literally pack each time we go to my moms for the day a bag for us, a bag for the baby, a bag for the dog and what ever else we decide to bring with us. 

24. I've not really been fond of my birthday since around 2005. 

25. I could eat cake or cookies and milk for breakfast. I don't. But I could if I had to. Lol 

26. I could watch Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead every day 

#imrightontopofthatrose

27. I have insanely ugly feet. Like. It's almost not normal. No exaggeration. 

28. I hate balloons. 

29. I've been contemplating opening an Etsy shop or trying to sell wreaths online. I really enjoy making them and would love to do so for others 

30. I can't stand pedastal sinks. 

31. My favorite season is fall and one of the top reasons why is jeans and hoodies. 

32. I cried about missing my dad yesterday and hate that the pain of his death is still very very present in my heart 

33. I miss being pregnant....

34. ....but I love my sweet boy more than anything in the world

Happy Thursday!!

What's Up Wednesday

Today I'm linking up with Mel, Shay & Sheaffer to talk about What's Up!

What were eating this week...

Saturday night my mom watched Austin so Ted & I could grab some dinner together. We went to one of our favorite places and I got the best salad...

On Sunday we celebrated my Moms birthday and went up to the boardwalk for a slice of pizza and a waffle sundae. 

Maruca's Pizza is quite possibly the best pizza in the world. It's just so dang good!

I mean. Everything about it is so delicious. If you're local or visiting - get a slice. Or a pie. Or two. 

We also had these amazing waffle and ice cream sandwiches. Oh. My. Gah. 

(I found this pic on the Internet because I didn't take my own pic because I dug right in!)

Monday I made grilled chicken, broccoli and brown rice - boring, but necessary lol

And Tuesday we had burgers at my moms and ice cream cake to celebrate moms birthday with the whole family!

What I'm reminiscing about...

Actually I've been thinking about when I first met Ted and I had a conversation with my best friend about when we first met and started talking to our husbands. We both said that their voices sounded different than they do now, which they do not, it's just familiar now and was new then. 

What I'm loving...

My mom being off for the summer. AND being a stay at home mama. The combo is awesome. I love being home with my boy all day and I love spending these summer days with my mom and Austin. We take walks and go shopping. It's just exactly where I've always wanted my life to be. 

What we've been up to...

Lots of nothing! Well - actually, lots of fun stuff. Pool, walks, playing, shopping, baking, biking (when gramma watches Austin) watching movies and just plain enjoying our time. 

What I'm dreading...

Driving to Philly next Friday BUT the reason is awesome!! Amanda from Texas is coming to visit!! But having to drive to Philly on a Friday in the summer at 4:00 is gonna be craaazy!! But it will be totally worth it to see my bff!!! 

What I'm working on...

Lots of crafty projects.

And June's Question...

What is your favorite July 4th tradition and/or recipe?”

Each year in July 4th we go down to the Yacht Club down the street from my moms and watch the fireworks with the neighborhood. It's fun 

This year will be the same except with a blind dog and baby so we'll see how long we last! 

*last year*

Happy Wednesday!
