1. Well, geez, there goes another week flying by without me getting a chance to check in again! Was this a fast week for anyone else besides me?!
2. I can hardly believe that Alex is going to be ONE in only three short weeks. Seriously…ONE. (maybe I’ll get that 11 month update post up next week, ha?!).
I’ve been working on planning some stuff for his party and I’m excited about it, but I’m not going all crazy with a ‘theme’ this year like I did with Lucas. Just a simple blue + green, so we’ll see how it all turns out and hope for a beautiful day so we can be outside!
3. Toss this on the list of things I never thought I’d be excited about until becoming an adult/homeowner…we bought a shed!
We’ve needed one ever since we moved in but, you know, life…finances…all that jazz. We haven’t had a bunch of time to totally fill it yet BUT let’s just hope that it will help alleviate some of the disaster that is our garage right now. : )
4. Have you guys heard of Little Spoon?
We received this awesome package in the mail a couple of weeks ago for Alex, which came complete with a bunch of different and fun varieties of baby food (which are made with certified organic and Non-GMO ingredients), and delivered straight to your doorstep.
Not only that, but they’re all made fresh, because Little Spoon believes that baby food shouldn’t be older than your baby! Their Babyblends range from single ingredient purees to unique, multi-ingredient blends featuring superfoods, grains, and herbs.
Plus, how cute is the little spoon?? ; )
Alex has loved all of the ones we’ve tried so far (as have I…I try them, too!).
Thanks again, Little Spoon! You can follow them @LittleSpoon and #BabyBlends!
5. Hey, looky looky…we’re making some deck progress!
I am just SO excited for this to be done and to have a nice place to sit outside this summer. Eeeeek!
6. I brought my buddy Lucas with me for a “special trip” yesterday, thinking it would be fun for us to have a little one on one time away from the house.
Well, I think the fact that he was tired and hot, combined with him still not feeling 100%, made for a less than successful trip. I was shocked he’d even smile for that picture. ;) Hey, you win some, you lose some…but if ice cream is involved, it really isn’t that much of a loss, right?
Gimme alllll the rainbow sprinkles.
8. Those of you who follow me on Instagram may have already seen the story I put up last weekend, but I’m totally loving my new necklace from Centime!

Juliette | Namastay Traveling says
That back deck is going to be amazing! Hopefully this weather will cool down a bit until it’s all ready. Enjoy your weekend!
Brynn says
I can’t believe Alex is going to be one! Tome really does fly! I’m with you, there’s nothing like a place to sit outside during the warmer months. Cocktail, please!
Shaqueefa says
Same here bryne! Make it a double haaaaaaay!
Melissa says
The Little Spoon looks like a great option for babies/toddlers and I love how it comes with a spoon! Very convenient. Also, the ice cream cone looks great – the ideal way to welcome in the warmer weather!

Carrie this fit chick says
I love that necklace! Something simple and delicate, but has meaning. Ah one year already!? Excited to see what you do for the celebration!
Dana says
My 7 month old wakes up so much during the night and we happen to all have colds right now. We’re not supposed to get sick in spring!
I get my energy throughout the day on natural ketones!! Burn fat for fuel and feel amazing!
Have a great weekend!
Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona says
Alex is growing up so fast. And I’m all about the sprinkles on ice cream too. They somehow just make it taste better.
Luna says
Glad to hear you love the necklace Courtney! Thanks again for the shoutout to my store. :)
Jen says
Great necklace! I’m interested in getting the rose gold one, but I’m wondering if the chain is also rose gold. I can’t tell if you got the rose gold or silver charm. The chain is silver, obviously….
Courtney says
The one I got for myself is all silver but I did get one for my mother in law in the rose gold and both the charms and chain are rose gold!
montessoriishmom says
Alex is such a handsome little cutie :) Your backyard looks so nice, such a great place for kids!
Lauren @ Oh Hey! I Like That! says
Oh this would be such a great “push present” for me in September…but maybe the hubs should order it now and use the code!!!
Erin says
My daughter will be 1 in 2 weeks – we did her 1 year photos yesterday… how did she get to be one already? 😭😭😭 Little Spoon looks tasty! Did they give you a discount code for your readers to use? I’d definitely be interested in giving it a try!
Courtney says
Hey Erin! Unfortunately, no, I don’t have a code to offer readers :(
Kayla says
Yum! That rainbow sprinkle ice cream cone looks so delicious…I love me some sprinkles! :) I hope you guys are having a fabulous weekend! Xoxo
Bethany says
That necklace is the best! That ice cream looks amazing as well!
Leslie says
Glad to read about the new deck! Home improvement projects are always fun, plus it’s the time of the year :)
I’ve been watching House&Home on YouTube and got some wonderful inspiration on interior design, can’t wait to get something done this summer too!
