1. I’m typing this post up on Thursday evening and I. Am. Wiped. Thank goodness we’ve made it to Friday!
2. You may have already seen this on Facebook or Twitter, buuuuut…the recipe page (finally!) got a bit of a makeover here on STSL!!
I’ve been putting it off and putting it off because it’s still very much a work in progress. But as my dear friend Katy said to me, sometimes it’s better to just get it out there rather than wait for perfection (because that will likely take a while!).
So the original recipe page has been replaced with the new Recipe Index in the main header on the site, but if you hover over the Recipe Index, you’ll see that the original Recipes page is still available (just in case there are some that I haven’t gotten to converting just yet).
My hope is that the new page will allow you to search a little easier (plus, if you’re anything like me, you really appreciate pictures!). As I mentioned, there are still a few things we’re working out, but if you have any feedback (good/constructive/etc.) I’d be more than happy to hear it!
3. Did you hear? Joanna Gaines now has a home furniture collection(!!!). Okay, ummm, where’s the bottomless bank account that will allow me to shop for my entire home?! The accessories alone or just freakin’ awesome.
4. We had a totally delicious crockpot meal last night that I’m super excited to share with you guys next week. I mean, we’re talking ridiculously EASY. I think you’ll love it!
5. I’m really proud of myself this week you guys. I only stopped and got blueberry munchkins from Dunkin Donuts once. Once! I think that’s a record from the past, ohh I don’t know…how many weeks pregnant am I? Almost 26…?
6. This kid loves his munchkins too (the apple doesn’t fall far). But his favorites are the “orange” ones (aka, glaze). He was waiting quite patiently in the drive-thru yesterday morning.
7. I really want to know when the cookie dough iced coffee is coming back? I know they’ve had it in April the past two years (benefit of keeping a blog, I suppose?), but I’m ready for it nowwwww.
8. I’ll tell ya…there aren’t many things better (okay, there are, I’m exaggerating…but you get it) than a big bowl of oatmeal topped with melty peanut butter.
9. Lucas has been totally into the game of “fake sleeping” lately. This was him yesterday as we were walking around Target…he told me “shhhh mommy, sweeeeeeping.”
He really does make me laugh.
10. It’s getting late and my sweet tooth is really telling me to call it quits on the computer and go find something good for dessert. Sooooo, I’m outta here for today, my friends!
I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, whatever you may be doing! <3

When did you turn Lucas’s car seat to forward facing? That crockpot meal looks Mexican so I’m sure it’ll be right up my alley!
Courtney says
Oh my gosh, probably a year and a half ago? We turned him forward facing around a year, after discussing the pros/cons with his pedi. He HATED the car and it was to the point where I was spending the majority of my ride turning around to try and see what was wrong with him…so that became more of a safety concern than anything else. Plus he had hit the height requirement at that point, so we felt comfortable doing so :)
Brynn says
I love how you used your blog posts to know when the iced coffee from DD comes around. Ha! Love the new recipe page. And all of the yes to number one.
Amy says
They have cookie dough! I went this morning and asked what flavored they had and they had it. Made my day.
Jamie @ Dishing Out Health says
Ahhh I’m going later! :D
Courtney says
NO WAYYYY!?!?!?!
Amy says
I’m on Long Island so it may not be everywhere but I’ll cross my fingers for ya!
Katie says
What brand/style is Lucas’s car seat? I need to get my little guy one soon! And as far as the cookie dough goes… I think it’s done :( I tried ordering snicker doodle the other day & they said that’s gone too because those two were limited time only! BOO!
Courtney says
It’s an Evenflo! We got it from Target a couple of years ago, but I think this one is similar: http://www.target.com/p/evenflo-triumph-lx-convertible-car-seat/-/A-14419206#prodSlot=_1_29
Melissa says
Way to go for only stopping at DD once! Seriously, I was going there like daily toward the end of my pregnancy! I so want the scoop on that crock pot meal. I made the crock pot chicken last week – that might be a weekly thing! Loved it!
Shawna says
mmm both of those bowl meal pics look so good. avocado just makes my life so happy and i literally eat it daily. enjoy your wknd!
Melissa says
I NEED that crockpot meal. I am having the biggest Mexican food craving right now–sour cream (which I don’t even normally like?), cheese, avocado–bring it on!
Immediately had to check out Joanna’s furniture. I don’t even care that all her houses look the same because I love her style!!!
Lauren @ Oh Hey! I Like That! says
The Cookie Dough Iced Coffee is coming back???? Eeeeek!!! Get me to a Dunkin Donuts RIGHT NOW!
Julia @ Lord Still Loves Me says
Lucas and his fake sleeping made me laugh out loud! Clever little guy. ;)
Amy says
I had cookie dough iced and hot coffee this week yum !
Katie says
Lucas is the CUTEST! I love the blueberry donut holes from DD, too! So funny to me that they don’t have sprinkle ones!
I hope you guys have a great weekend! Thanks for the comment on my post the other day, that meant so much to me! Just wanted you to know that! <3
Marie says
Ahh! Lucas is so cute; loved him with the sunglasses! The one of him in the cart kills me. Lol! Kids really are the best mood boosters! Always something new to experience with them, too! ;)

When my 2 year old is tired, he lays his head down on his stuffed dog. I ask him if he’s tired and h always says no. He’s never done the fake sleep thing, though. I remember doing it when I was a kid.
