1. I think we are *this close* to being out of the clear with sickness. At least for now. Even though some of us still have a nasty cough now and then, everyone is back in good spirits. Thank GOODNESS! Now let’s just hope we can keep this going at least for a few weeks…
2. I ate veggies this week. You’d think this wouldn’t be worthy of a fun fact but, alas, it is. Because I don’t think I’d eaten any in like, weeks. Salads have been tasting mighty good right now.
3. Do you guys subscribe to my email newsletters yet (if you’re NOT on the newsletter list, you can easily sign up down below!)? If you do, then be on the lookout because you’ll be getting the scoop on something new here on the blog with a special offer and I’m really excited about it! If you search around a bit (cough, cough…) then you might be able to find it, but the special offer is exclusive to email subscribers!
4. I was lucky enough to bring both boys for shots yesterday. That was fun.
5. After said trip to the doctor’s office for shots (which actually wasn’t that bad!) we stopped at DD’s for the munchkin I promised Lucas. Well, my order of 4 munchkins turned into about 12…hooray, awesome lady at the drive-thru!
6. You guys…I cannot say enough just how much I LOVE this Contigo coffee mug. I needed a new one and Jay got this one for me for Christmas. It keeps my coffee hot for HOURS. No joke!!
6. Another year, another new desk calendar! I found this one from Monday to really hit home. So true, right?
7. So most of you probably won’t remember this, but I have had my eye on a chandelier for our kitchen from Birch Lane since at least August. Well yesterday, I finally bit the bullet and BOUGHT it. It’s supposed to arrive on Monday and I. Can. Not. Wait.
8. My hair has gotten to that awkward stage of ‘do I cut it shorter again, or do I just let it grow out long again?’
There is a large part of me that wants to go short again for now and then maybe let it grow through the winter so it’s ponytail-ready for summer???
9. After taking a few weeks off, the Weekly Mean Plan posts will be BACK starting this weekend!
10. Jay and I started watching Bloodline on Netflix this week…OH MY GOD, we are hooked. Does anyone else watch this series?!?! It’s SO good!! (we’re about two episodes away from finishing season 1 right now)
And on that note, it’s about time to finish up this post so we can go watch an episode tonight! I hope you guys have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, whatever you may be doing! <3

I’ve heard that the Contigo keeps drinks warm for hours! So neat. I now need to add that to my to-buy list. ;)

I had my man eat a veggie yesterday. He wasn’t happy he threw it at me den he made a bowl of cereal. #babysteps

1) cut it short! THe long washes you out in my opinion. 2) Yes to Bloodline. My husband made me start watching it since it takes place in the Keys and he’s from there and we were also OBSESSED. I can’t wait for season 3- season 2 gets a little ‘mneh’ since they introduce so many new characters but just wait for the finale! I can’t wait for season 3 (the final season!)
Linz @ Itz Linz says
i like that length of your hair! i think it looks great! as far as tv, i’m all about the mindy project on hulu – so funny!
Claire says
I highly recommend a zojirushi travel coffee mug. Not only does it keep your drink almost freakishly hot (I take 24oz to work with me and have to pour my first cup into a mug so it cools enough for me to drink it) but the lid shuts and locks. So you can throw your cup into your bag, backpack, or briefcase without worrying about holding it upright!
Fiona says
Love bloodline!!! Dying for the next season to come out but I think it will be the last! WHYYY..it’s soo intense!
I am with you on the short/long hair…I’ve been keeping mine sort of shoulder length (and trying to grow out my bangs) but every time I hit the salon..I have a huge urge to cut it off to a bob again..but with kids …no one has time for that maintenance!!!!
Happy Friday!
Mandee says
Yes yes yes! I recommended bloodline to you in a couple comments. I’m so glad you guys are enjoying it! I LOVE that cast and think they all deserve awards. “Danny” won an Emmy last year I believe. I go nuts when I watch that show! Wait till you see the finale of season 2!
Lauren @ Oh Hey! I Like That! says
One of our friends got us two of the Contigo mugs for our wedding!! And omggggg Bloodline! I only watched the first season, but I’ve got to get into the second one!
Kaitlyn @ Powered by Sass says
I am so jealous that you always get more munchkins than you ask for! That NEVER happened to me! Maybe a trip to Dunkin is in order this weekend so I can test my luck?!

Yup to Bloodline. I like it. I felt like season 1 took FOREVER to get to the big “cliff hanger.” The entire season 1, I kept wondering, what the heck are they building up to????
You will soon find out, my dear. :)
I like your hair the length it is! So, maybe just a trim up, imo.
And funny thing. I was always that one who claimed they didn’t like donuts, until i discovered the Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cake Donut…yummmmmmmm.
Erica says
I have the same mug – it’s the best ever! Plus, I don’t know if it’s technically leakproof but it sure seems that way. I need to watch Bloodline! So many shows, I can’t keep track. I should start making a list.
Colleen says
I have that same exact mug! :)
Brigid says
My husband and I watched Bloodlline, both seasons. Very addictive. The writing and acting is so good. I can’t say more because I don’t want to ruin anything for you. ENJOY!
Jen says
I just chopped off my hair, felt so good! New year, new do. Have a great weekend!
Julie says
Love the chandelier!
Katie @ Live Half Full says
We started Bloodline last night. We’re only one episode in and not hooked yet, but I have a feeling we will be shortly!
Melissa says
I’m with you on veggies. I finally had a salad this week a few times and it was amazing after a month of basically only cookies lol.
So jealous of your DD, as always. I just mentioned munchkins to a friend this morning!
Jessica says

Love the short hair!
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday says
I love Contigo mugs! I actually have to let my tea cool off a bit before I put it in, otherwise I can’t drink it for hours because it’s still too hot ? Have a great weekend!
Nancy says
I love the shorter hair on you but can totally relate to wanting a pony-tail for summer!
