1. Is anyone else going crazy with insane allergy symptoms lately? The pollen has been ridiculous and, as a result, so has my constant nose blowing and itchy throat. Gahhhh, allergies are the worst.
2. It’s been a bit of a long week this week, since Jay has been gone for work for a couple of days. We’re all super excited to have him back home today!
That picture… <3 <3
3. Our deck progress continues to move along and I am SO excited to (HOPEFULLY) have it be usable by the upcoming holiday weekend. I even got an opportunity to help out a bit the other night after both kiddos are in bed (it’s always so tough to tag team home projects while the kiddos are awake…it just doesn’t work!).
I’ll share more of our progress as we move along!
4. I can’t remember if I showed you guys my new glasses yet, have I? Well if not, here they are…along with me, on a work-from-home and no make up day after both kids were finally in bed.
5. That picture up there was taken the other night while I caught up on watching the season finale of Scandal. Oooooo, Olivia Pope, you are one baaaaaad ass gal! (Who else watches?!?!) I will say, I obviously still love the show (since I binge watched it on Netflix while on maternity leave last summer), but I think I kind of liked the way the show was in the first few seasons. I think it’s the “gladiator days” that they call it, right?
6. Oh, and speaking on Netflix, I am suuuuuper pumped that season 3 of Bloodline comes out TODAY!
If you haven’t watched the show at all, I would highly recommend it!
7. My children are getting so huge. Excuse me while I go melt into a puddle in the corner…
8. I bought this romper from Express initially for the wedding that we went to last weekend (ignore the messy bedroom and awfully dark iPhone photos), but I ultimately returned it. I wanted SO badly to love it, but I think it was the pattern that I just couldn’t get into.
I really would like to find a cute romper to wear for this summer though, so if anyone has any they’ve found and love, please share!!
9. I bought myself a new flavor of Lenny & Larry’s cookies to tryyyyy…
My favorite flavor (pumpkin spice) was sold out on iHerb (use my code SAZ564 for $5 off your first order!!) so I decided to give this flavor a shot. Anyone else try this kind??
10. Every single time I go to sit down at my computer, I almost immediately have a little buddy who wants to either sit right in between my arms while I type, or sit down so his butt is resting nicely on my arm.
Ohhhh, Codeman. You’re a character!
11. For my fellow at-home workout peeps, listen up! Just this past week, I found a new YouTube channel (Shelly Dose) and the workouts have been kicking. my. butt. WOW! So far I’ve tried this workout and this workout, and they have both left me super sore…in the best way possible. Definitely check ‘em out! I can’t wait to go through more of them on her channel.
Alright, I think that’s all I’ve got for today! I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful holiday weekend ahead; hopefully, you’re able to enjoy some special time with your friends and family, and that you can take a few moments to remember those who died in service to the United States military. Thank you to all of those who serve or have served our country. <3
I have never tried any of the Lenny and larrys cookies, but I’ve heard so much about them! Maybe I should order a box here soon :)
I’m hooked on the white chocolate cookie but snickerdoodle is my favorite! I bet I like that one even more. Have a great holiday weekend!
I almost snagged the Snickerdoodle flavor the other day. Did you like it? Love the glasses and agree on the romper. There are a lot of cute options at Nordstrom and F21.
I bought a romper over the winter..well not so much a romper but a onesie. I bought my man a men’s romper over the weekend while it was in style and axcidentaly bought 2 sizes smaller and it turned into a twosie.
I LOVE snickerdoodle! The white chocolate is great too!
You pull off glasses so well! And I feel you on the allergy bug. I’ve ben sneezing a ton and getting itchy eyes and an a runny rose- UGH
Have a lovely weekend!
I recently bought two rompers from Macys. They are both by Jessica Simpson and long sleeves. I love them!
That is my favorite Lenny and Larry’s flavor! I heat it up in the microwave and then put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. So delish!
My cats are the same way anytime I try to get work done on the computer…but they are so cute that I just let them crawl all over me. I LOVE Scandal! The finale was so good, but I’m with you – the first couple seasons were the best. And I am so so so excited to start watching the new season of Bloodline today. My fiance and I watched the first two seasons in like, two weeks last year and have been waiting for this day for a long time. Have a great weekend!
Allergies are terrrible this year. Love that you work out at home too! Thanks for the rec!
That picture of Alex and Jay is just too cute : ) Have a great long weekend!
Just wanted to say that I appreciate how you took the time to acknowledge the true meaning of Memorial Day! The majority of bloggers don’t. Another reason why I keep coming back to your blog!
Love the guy in Bloodline! (Kyle chandler??) He was awesome in Friday night lights too!!!
Have a great weekend!
snickerdoodle is one of my favorite lenny & larry’s flavors!!! it’s softer than the others, which i like :)
and your deck looks amazing so far, i can’t wait for the day i have a house and a deck! i also desperately need to catch up on scandal & bloodline (it comes out today?! i had no idea!!!), but i’m caught up in the Keepers on netflix! such an insane story and really well done. have a great weekend!!
Thanks for the great new workout suggestion, I’ve been doing the programs on FitnessBlender via youtube but can always do with something new!
And can’t WAIT for bloodline, thanks for the reminder!
Have a great weekend!
Can I just say how much I love the glasses? So much so, in fact, I’ve gotta ask where you were lucky enough to find em since I’ve been on my own hunt for months (read: years) now with no such luck of a pair that fits my criteria: that both fit and flatter my smallish face, AND that I actually really like. But I love the shape and look of yours, so if you don’t mind namedropping the brand/place you found ’em…
I appreciate it in advance. Have a great holiday weekend!
(also) Courtney
Hey Courtney, sure thing! The brand is Guess and I got them from VisionWorks – good luck! :)
Oh I’m so excited to try that new YouTube channel! I workout from home more often now with two little ones so I love having lots of.options! :)
Ooh, my hubby loves those cookies too! Your boys are so cute, and YES they are growing so fast! I hate that!! My nephews are getting so big too, I always say to them to stop growing!! (I actually “pretend cry” to Gio and tell him that he can never get too big where I can’t pick him up anymore haha!) I hope you guys have a wonderful long weekend, and I hope your allergies stop acting up! Xoxo
Thanks for the reminder that Bloodline comes out today!
I was really interested in the new YouTube channel you’ve found and was pleasantly surprised that you said Shelly Dose. I looove her videos so much! She kicks butt!
Totally forgot about Bloodline, love the show!
LOVE! The glasses! Do you mind linking to the exact frames? Google left me with 77 styles of women’s black Guess Visionworks frames!! Thank you!!!!!
Have you ever done Body Project workouts? I found them when I started doing at-home workouts as a new mom and I love them! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFjc9H89-RpWuIStDqhO7AQ
I have sooo much to say! lol
I totally agree with the Scandal. I want to love it as much as I did but it is a bit much now. I also wanted it on maternity leave.
I love lenny and larrys cookies too much. Have you tried the double chocolate one? I am not a chocolate cookie person but I love one with coffee!
I also want a romper. Finding one long enough those (and I am only 5’4″)…..
Rompers are so tricky! It’s hard to find just the right fit, and I always feel like they either look great or terrible on me, no in between! Check out Old Navy (not sleeveless but this one is cute) http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=805774002 and some at Loft are 40% off right now: https://www.loft.com/embroidered-split-neck-romper-/436457?skuId=23345942&defaultColor=2222&colorExplode=false&catid=catl000014
I seem to remember you loved Chris Freytag videos…did you know she has a streaming service now? https://www.gethealthyutv.com/ Not free, but pretty cheap in comparison to some of the others!
Woahhhh, I did NOT know about this?! Thank you for sharing, Amy!!!
