Neon on Weekends

 

This weekend I downloaded the What to Expect When Expecting app on my phone so I can check daily on what size the baby should be, etc.  My app says now that my baby is the size of a head of lettuce...yeah umm...by the looks of my belly, my kid is the size of all the lettuce at the supermarket.  It's going to be a long summer!  Happy Monday :-)

Changes and Changes

I have to laugh when I look at this photo because I literally look like I'm smuggling a beach ball and wearing three layers under my sleeves!  Maybe taking photos after work isn't the best idea.  I recently went through my archives and got a kick out of my expanding belly.  When I started blogging, it never occurred to me that I would soon be documenting my pregnancy.  I've lately been feeling better and better the further in pregnancy I get.  My husband said to me the other day, "you're pretty proud to be pregnant, aren't you."  He wasn't asking because he knows that I am.  If you asked me a year ago when I was planning to have children, I would have said not any time soon.  Now, I can't imagine not wanting to have this child.  It's a strange thing this pregnancy is but I'm loving every minute of it.

Practical Love

My husband and I have become quite the practical gift givers.  He gave me a Clarisonic Mia and he bought himself a vacuum.  I say he bought himself the vacuum because I could never bring myself to spend as much as he did for a flipping vacuum.  Since it is our finances, you could say my gift was that I would stop stopping him from buying the vacuum.  He had his mind set on a Dyson vacuum which of course we had to order because we couldn't find the one he wanted locally.  The man literally said to me, "I can't wait for the weekend to be over because I'm that much closer to getting my vacuum."  And that people is love.

Most Used

I remember thinking, "how often will I really wear a polka dot chambray top?"  Well, apparently lots and lots of times.  My Old Navy polka dot chambray top is definitely one of my most used items.  I love when I use a piece of clothing over and over again because I feel it was worth it.  At almost, $20 or so, this shirt is not only worth it but a great price as well.

Thank you so much for all your congratulations and well wishes on yesterday's post!  My husband and I are so excited about this new journey.  Yesterday, we had an ultrasound and saw the heart beating for the first time...heart melted...

Biking Through the Gardens

One of my favorite activities to do in Callaway Gardens is to rent bikes and ride all through the gardens.  We also went to the Festival of Lights this year which is just literally a winter wonderland of lights all through the gardens.  As you can tell, my sister, Adri, and I were in fall/winter heaven.  PS: My dad is going to kill me for posting that goofy picture of him :-)

The Lodge and Gardens

For the holiday, my family and I spent most of the week at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia.  It was absolutely beautiful and the weather was perfect.  Best of all, my sweet little sister, Adriana, was able to make the trip from NYC.  It's always nice getting to spend time with her.  Since she lives in NYC, she's definitely used to the cooler weather and could get away without bundling up like I did :-)

Bright Do-Over

This pink is BRIGHT!  You would think that something this bright should be worn sparingly.  Not this lazy girl.  Since picking this sweater up at Gap on Wednesday, I've worn it twice.  Because I love it that much?  Maybe but no...pure laziness and what better way to welcome Monday?

Autumn Grains

Two days in a row of wearing a bow top but I can't help it, bows are my weakness.  Brown isn't really a color I like wearing too much but whenever I think of this time of year, browns and greens always come to mind.  This skirt runs on the short side, for me anyways, so tights were necessary.

McIntosh Festival

Blogger fail.  We were only able to snap two photos before my camera died :-(  The rest of the photos are from my Iphone.  My mom and I love coming to the McIntosh festival every year.  It's a huge art festival but my favorite part is all the yummy food!  We indulged in corn dogs, homemade potato chips, and homemade peanut butter ice cream :-)  Fun fact about McIntosh and the nearby town Micanopy, it's where the movie Doc Hollywood was filmed.

Yuppie Blues

I recently received an email from someone in law school (don't worry, not gonna call you out!) asking for advice about school, etc.  I know I don't talk about work mainly because this blog is my "fun space" but one of the things I have enjoyed most about blogging is connecting with others.  Law school was an extremely difficult time and, although, I am by no means perfect and can give excellent advice, I've been there.  Every day I learn something new.  Every day I am humbled by the people I meet and the clients I see.  Just when I think I know everything there is to know about lawyering, something pops up and I'm back to researching.  Just like blogging, it helps to seek others and talk about similar interests.  Have I mentioned how much I love the blogging community?  :-)

Orange Crush

I'm so looking forward to catching up on my blog reading this evening.  I've been neglecting blog reading and other things lately because of work.  I've even been neglecting reality tv, the horror! Oh and I wish my photographer aka hubby would let me know when I've done a crappy job tucking in my shirt! :-)  Happy hump day!

Tomboy

Boys are so lucky.  They get to wear comfy loafers every day if they wanted to.  Admittedly, these aren't the cutest shoes but, gosh darn it, they are one of the most comfortable shoes ever. Seriously.  I bought these at Target this weekend and for $25 they came home with me.  Since I have to wear dress shoes for work, the weekends call for comfort and comfort only.  I could sleep in these...

Gingham Style

I feel so out of the loop on what is popular nowadays.  It's crazy to realize how much my priorities have changed.  Some for the better and some for worse.  However, I consider being up to date on pop culture top priority...just kidding...maybe...I just recently jumped on the Gangnam Style bandwagon and if you haven't seen or heard the video/song, I highly encourage it and the SNL skit to accompany.  I don't know what the song means and probably should have found out before recommending it.  Hmmm, I will consider that thought in the future :-)

Lake Alice

I'm risking my life here people.  When I was little, my dad took my sisters and I out to Lake Alice to see the alligators.  I guess my sisters and I may have gotten a little too close to the water so my dad warned us that alligators are quick to snatch up little kids and eat them...scarred for life.  So when my husband kept telling me that he couldn't see my face to take a picture, ummm that's because someone has to keep an eye out for any alligators.  Jeesh.  As soon as I heard a little kid scream, "there's one!" I bolted.
