Fun Facts Friday {4/10}

By Courtney 30 Comments

1. I loved reading some of the things that you guys are also horrible at earlier this week. I realized after the fact that I most definitely should have added painting to that list. I really just have no patience for it, and I winding up rushing through each wall, thinking that it’s fully covered…only to find out that I actually missed a ton. And despite what Jay thinks, I do not do this on purpose!

2. Okay, I am totally loving the look of the weather coming up this weekend. Specifically Sunday…

clip_image001

If you need me, look for me outside. I’m planning on planting myself out there for as many hours as possible.

3. After reading the recommendations from SO many of you when I first blogged about finding shorts, I ordered myself two pairs from LOFT. I really couldn’t beat it – they were having 50% off AND free shipping, so I figured it was the best time to give ‘em a shot! I ordered this pair and this pair, one of which got delivered yesterday, and I love ‘em.

LOFT jean shortsP.S. – do you think our bedroom needs cleaning?

You guys rock, thanks again for recommending these!

4. For those of you with kiddos, have you heard of Kids Activities Blog? I just discovered it yesterday, and it has a ton of great resources broken down by age group, which is awesome. There are indoor/outdoor activities, holiday ideas, printables, and more. I’ve already found a few fun things I want to do with Lucas!

5. Earlier this week, I got a fabulous package from Fabletics and while I love both pieces they sent, I am head over heels for this Aruba Wrap Top II (which you also saw above!).

I received it in grey, but I’ve already gone ahead and ordered it in black, and I’ll probably order it in blue, too. OB-SESSED. I also received a pair of the Hamilton Sweatpant in Dark Grey and I want those in every color, too. So. Darn. Comfy.

Hamilton Sweatpant in Dark Grey Again, please ignore the absolute pigsty that is my room…sorry mom.

And you guys know how much I love my cozies!

6. Have any of you guys tried the Cold Brew coffee from Starbucks? I got some yesterday afternoon while at work and I think I’m a fan!

7. It’s hard to believe that in just a few short weeks, our softball season will be starting up again. You guys may remember how last year was going to be our last year, but we ultimately decided to give it one more go so the whole family could play together?

clip_image003

Well, turns out we weren’t able to get enough people back from our team this year, so we thought we were done again. But, lucky for us, another team picked up me, Jay, my dad, my brother, and my “pseudo-brother” Scott, so it looks like we’ll still be on the field again, just in a new uniform!

8. Twice this week, I set my alarm for 5:15, only to suddenly roll over to realize I’d snoozed all the way until 6:15. Every once in a while this will happen to me, and it’s like what the heck?! How in the world did I manage to continue to hit the snooze button for an HOUR and not realize it?! Apparently, I guess I just needed more sleep. Had I realized that though, I would have just set my alarm for 6:15….ay yi yi.

9. Even though I did happen to miss two different workouts this week, can I just tell you guys how much I am LOVING Insanity Max: 30? I know I already told you guys about it last week, but I’m just really, really into it right now, paired along with some PiYo and T25. If any of you are at all interested in hearing more about it (or any of them!), shoot me an email or drop me a message!

10. We recently (actually, probably almost 2 months ago now) started having Lucas sleep with a standard size pillow in his crib, and he thinks it’s just great. I wasn’t totally sure about it first, mainly because we’ll often times find him sleeping like this…

But he’s completely fine and loves getting comfy on it, next to it, or under it. Or just moving it all the way to the other side of the crib. Such a ham.

11. And just because I can’t help but smile when I look at this picture from earlier in the week…

Okay my friends, I’m outta here for today! I hope you all have a fabulous Friday, and a wonderful weekend ahead! Catch ya Sunday with some new meals. Winking smile

    That pillow picture really cracked me up. I call both of my girls stuffed animal hoarders. They each sleep amongst like 4 blankets and 10 stuffed animals each!

    My husband really loves it when I hit snooze more than once.. especially when he does not have to get up {Sarcasm} lol... I love that Fabletics outfit... I may just have to "forget" to skip next month and get an outfit hehe. We put a pillow in Mason's crib about a year ago -- I made my own pillow case for him. :) He loves it - when he gets up in the morning on days one of us is off from work he has to bring his pillow to the couch and get "nice and comfy" watching Mickey lol. Have a great weekend! I am pretty excited about this weather too :)

    OK, I just have to say that you are looking quite fabulous lately lady! Isn't it just so amazing that when you stop caring so much about how you look, what size you are, etc. your body just does its thing?! I LOVE that wrap top as well! I may just need to look into Fabletics a little more now. I've thought about it in the past, but I just hate getting wrapped into monthly commitments like that. Lucas is getting so big! I love that you share so many photos of him on here. And what is it about swings that kids just love so much? Happy Friday Courtney!

      You are so sweet, thank you Stacey! And yes, it's more freeing than anything I've ever experienced. And I feel you on the monthly commitment thing...that was my initial hold up. But you actually have the first 5 days of each month to "skip" that month, so you don't have to worry about purchasing every month unless you want to! :) Happy Friday!

    Those shorts are ADORABLE! After I have baby #2 (10 days, woo!) and shed some of the baby weight, I know where I'll be shopping for some new shorts!

    I love that top! So cute! Out of curiosity, why did you start using a pillow? I've thought about putting one in with Harlow, but she insists on so many toys in her crib, I'm not sure there is room! :) I'm so happy you and your family get to play together again this year! So much fun!

      I actually saw someone else mention it and, knowing how much Lucas usually loves to cuddle up with pillows, I figured he'd appreciate it. Which he totally does ;)

    I love that top! One of my favorite things about Fabletics is that a lot of the tops can be repurpised for everyday wear. For someone who loves to live in workout clothes, it makes me love their stuff even more. :)

    I'm definitely checking out that kids activities blog! I'm already thinking about what we'll be doing all summer when we're hibernating indoors away from the crazy heat, so hopefully I can find some creative ideas on there. Glad you love the LOFT shorts! They look super cute on you. I'm intrigued by the Starbucks Cold Brew... What's the difference between it and a regular iced coffee?

    I finally gave Ethan a blanket to sleep with a couple months ago, and it totally freaks me out. He has gotten better, but the first couple nights I went in a couple times to take it off his face!

    totally stoked for the warm weather supposedly coming our way in NY as well...although i wiiiiish it'd have chosen tonight to descend, as i'm taking clients to a Yankee game (twice in one week, woot!) and could use some sunshine right about now! cute Loft shorts -- i've never gotten pants from there so i have no idea how their sizes run, which is always my issue ordering online, but they're adorable. have a fab wknd and hope you get some great outdoorsy time!
