Fun Facts Friday {10/24}

By Courtney 34 Comments

1. This week has been…blahh. Not so much at home (love being with my guys), but work has been totally insane (another girl is out this week so I’ve been doing double duty) and yesterday was just quite. the. day. I think the only times I actually left my desk were to pee. Like, twice. This weekend cannot come soon enough!

2. Since I had zero time yesterday, it wasn’t until about 9pm last night when I went to look at yesterday’s LaMaLu giveaway post and realized that the Rafflecopter widget thing never carried over correctly. Sorry guys, that was super lame! It’s fixed now, in case you didn’t want to bother clicking for some extra entries before.

3. Can I just say HOW excited I am for tonight? We’ve got a group of 10 of us husbands and wives (most of the Book Club girls) heading out for dinner, drinks, and fun. Lucas is spending the night with my in-laws, which means that Jay and I will get to have another leisurely Saturday…but I’m not gonna lie. Once I wake up and have my coffee and breakfast, I’ll be more than ready to go see the little guy!

4. Last weekend, I noticed that the blog was getting a little more love that usual, and I realized that someone had linked to an older post of mine that I had totally forgotten about. If you happen to have any Halloween or fall/festive gatherings coming up, I’d highly recommend you try making a Pumpkin Keg. I had totally forgotten about it but now I totally want to make it again!

5. One week until Halloween! Anyone planning on dressing up? After spending WAY too much money on our costumes last year (Lucas was so little!!), I’m taking this year off and just going to be dressing up the child. He looks so stinkin’ cute in his costume, too! Now the question is…will he actually keep it on? Bets are on NO.

6. So I know I mentioned this briefly on Wednesday, but yes, I’ve finally gone ahead and signed up for Fabletics (affiliate link!). If you’re fully immersed in the blog world, you’ve probably already heard about it, but it is a wicked adorable line of activewear from the always adorable Kate Hudson. When you sign up as a VIP member, the cost of the outfits instantly gets slashed (in half right now?!?) and they give you personalized outfit picks every month. It’s totally free to join, but I can’t promise it’s easy to not shop. I’m planning on getting this adorable outfit…

And can you believe that all three pieces are only $39.95? That’s, like, unheard of.

7. I need to know…why is it that, as soon as it starts to rain, it seems like suddenly everyone forgets how to drive a car. We had a good amount of rain yesterday morning and my commute into work was just awful. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I get it…driving in the rain can suck…but really? Sorry…looks like I hadn’t vented all of my frustration yet. I feel muuuch better now.

8. Guess who’s getting her hair cut this weekend?! I don’t think we’re doing color yet – we may hold off on that until next week. But I’m still planning on going with the color I showed you guys last week. SO excited to finally have a fresh ‘do’ for a change!

9. Last night we made an older recipe of mine that I had kinda forgotten about up until recently…Light ‘n Easy Cincinnati Chili!

IMG_8576

That pic doesn’t nearly do it the justice it deserves so definitely be sure to check out the original recipe post. It’s freakin’ delicious and will give you lots of leftovers if you’re only feeding two of you.

10. I’m totally crushing on this dress from Target right now. And this tunic (I bought it in grey last year and loooove it). Oh, and this scarf. Crap, Target. Why do you do this to me? #muststayaway

11. Okay, so it’s not the best picture of my child, but Lucas has discovered a new talent that I just find it too amusing not to share with you all.

IMG_8564

Pick me a winner, bud.

On that note, I’m off to bed (it’s Thursday night…no way I have time to write posts in the morning!). Gotta get some sleep so I can wake up for my hot date with Shaun T and some T25 and 5:30am. Woot woooot!

Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend, you guys! I’ll catch up with ya next week! xoxo

    That dress is EVERYTHING! I might go buy one myself for a holiday party later in a month. As far as the beer in the pumpkin - does it go flat once it's inside? Hate seeing beer go to waste but it's such a cool idea! And your little man is such a character! Just watch out for him putting that treasure in his mouth :-) Have a fabulous Friday and weekend Courtney! Xoxo

    I signed up for fabletics to buy one outfit--and researched it a lot beforehand--and made sure to cancel the subscription immediately after receiving my shipment. I didn't think it was made completely clear in the agreement with the site that they will automatically deduct $40 from your bank account monthly unless you actively *skip* a month. I know that I have a really hard time remembering to do things like this so I cancelled it immediately to prevent that. Just a heads up. FTR I like my fabletics stuff--don't LOVE it, but its all okay. (I feel like TJ maxx could've served me just as well without the hassle of calling up the company and having a 15 minute discussion with a reluctant customer service representative in attempt to cancel.) Hope you like it!

    I've definitely had "one of those weeks" as well. Ugh. Here's hoping the weekend brings some much needed relaxation! If nothing else there's the pumpkin keg! Love that idea.

    I've been debating signing up for Fabletics for a while. The first time I looked into it, they didn't have anything I wanted in my size though. That outfit is SO cute!

    I just got the same fabletics pieces yesterday. Love the pants and tank, but the shrug is a little thin. However, I'm sure I'll still get a lot of use out of it. I have a reminder set in my phone to skip a month, that way I won't forget!

    We are teaching Brooke her body parts, and it never fails, any time we say 'where is your nose' her finger goes right up it. All part of being a kid, I suppose :) And LOVE the pumpkin keg idea!

    Oh, my goodness! Haha, Harlow, my (almost) 19 month old thinks it is hilarious putting her finger up her nose. She just giggles and giggles! FYI, Target has free shipping on all orders right now... I'm jus' sayin'...

    I absolutely love the Target tunic. Weird question but can I ask what size you purchased. I want to order in grey or the wine/purple color but it's not available in stores.

    Just a quick recommendation... for dressing up, a couple of friends of mine dressed up as "babies" last year (they dressed their daughter up as a mom so it was extra cute)... but they said they just couldn't think of anything good so it was a pretty easy/cute idea. :)

    Question about the Fabletics VIP discount...does that always apply (ie. after you sign up, everything is always 50% off), or is it just for the first purchase? Thanks!

      October 24, 2014 at 1:37 pm

      I'm pretty sure it's just the 50% off the first one, but there are still discounts for future purchases. That said, I'm totally new to it as well, so I'm not 100% sure!

    I just got the same fabletics outfit. I feel like the capri's are cut a little on the small side, but the tank was the softest workout shirt I have ever put on. I love it.
