1. Despite the fact that this week feels like it absolutely flew by, I am SO glad it’s Friday. Work has been crazy, and a couple days away is just what I need right now!
2. So I totally let the week slip away from me and I never got a chance to write up a bumpdate this week! Tuesday marked 26 weeks though, and all is still going well (as you may have already seen on Instagram yesterday).
One fun fact? Jay and I are having SUCH a hard time figuring out a name this time around. We both have ones we like, but don’t know if we love. Then I have one I love…he has one he loves…and neither of us likes the other’s top pick. This one could be tricky!
I’ll try to have a new bumpdate on the blog next week.
3. Would you believe I have been wanting to paint my nails for about 3 weeks now…and have yet to get it done? I remember because I had planned on doing it around the time I had pink eye…but since I was washing my hands about every two seconds, I figured it’d be pointless. Maybe I’ll see what time it is when I finish up this post…but then, what color to go for? Bright and springy? Still dark? Decisions, decisions!
4. Is it totally inappropriate to post a picture of your kid on the potty. I don’t know, maybe it is…but I just found it to be too friggin’ cute not to.
He sat on the potty for about 5 minutes the other night, waiting patiently and reading his tubby book. It was the cutest thing ever.
5. And in case you’re curious, no, we are not potty trained over here yet. He’s pretty good about telling us if/when he has to go in the morning and evenings, but never during the day. And we haven’t officially gone “all in” yet; just casually using the potty here and there. Wahhh, I don’t want to dooo ittttt.
6. Zulily has been knocking it out of the park for me lately. My latest purchase? This ABC Floor Play Mat and this matching Numbers Play Mat for the basement playroom.
The basement is still far from ready, but Jay is planning on working on some of the electrical this weekend, so that makes me excited.
7. A really good read: 12 Ways to Stop Feeling Jealous on the Internet. I’d be willing to bet many, many, many of you can relate on one level or another!
8. Apparently I’m on a bit of a dessert kick this week. I saw someone pin this old (2011!) recipe of mine yesterday, which I had COMPLETELY forgotten about. How I could have forgotten though, is beyond me…because they are AMAZING. Promise me you’ll try them soon?!? I’m totally picking up butterscotch chips this weekend.
9. As much as I love ending the day with a clean home, some nights, I just don’t have it in me to clean up all the toys…anyone else?
10. House of Caaaarrrrrrds is BACK tonight!!! Anyone else planning on binge watching?!?!
11. Who’s getting ready/excited for St. Patrick’s Day?? I’ve already started seeing tons of fun-themed foods, snacks, and the like. But of course, you can never beat a dessert with booze in it. So in case you’re in need of something that fits that description, CHECK THESE OUT.
12. Awesome sale alert! Shopbop is having some amazing deals right now during their Spring Sale!
I’m totally loving the look of these sandals, but I know I’d never wear them because they’re too tall for me. No, something like these moccasins are way more my comfort level these days.
Alright my friends, I’m outta here for today! I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, whatever you may be doing! <3

Linz @ Itz Linz says
Im painting my nails bright pink today! I’m so ready for spring!!!
Kelli @ Hungry Hobby says
Can’t wait for that bump date! I’m so bad at painting my nails I actually leave nail polish by my computer so that I can just randomly pain them when I’ll be there a few hours (otherwise I’ll mess them up doing anything but typing) Have a great weekend!
Katrina says
What a gorgeous baby bump! :D I just painted my nails baby pink because we have an event on Saturday where I’ll be wearing a pink dress.. Love matchy matchy ;) Happy Weekending! :D
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
I’m also terrible at getting around to painting my nails. I blame it on the fact that they have to dry and I never know when i’m gonna have time for that with a little one!
I also loved that article about jealousy on the internet. Soooo good. Have a great weekend!
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday says
Those shoes are so cute! The shoe department always calls to me even though I don’t *need* any new ones 99% of the time. Have a great weekend!
Taylor says
Oh my gosh, Lucas on the potty! too cute!! I am SOO excited about House of Cards and you betcha I will be binge watching this weekend!! Have a great weekend!
Melissa says
You look so great Courtney! Don’t stress on the baby name. We had 2 names picked out and when we had him and took a look, neither one seemed to fit. Lucas on the potty is adorable! He will pick it up when he’s ready. Only have 1 in diapers though, much better than 2! More money to spend on shoes :)

I have my house decorated for St. Patty’s day and my little guys will do a craft the day of. Of course, I’ll have themed food that day too.
Jodie says
Pics of kids on the potty are too cute. Our little guy is 2 and starting to use potty as well!! On a side note, what is the paint color name in the bathroom? Love it!
Courtney says
Thank you!! It’s Sherwin Williams Argos!
