Bittersweet Valentines Day

Oh Valentines Day, how do I love thee?

Josh definitely went big this year and actually got me everything on my little blog wish list.

Totally a benefit to having a blog is being able to hint or straight out demand what you want for holidays, birthdays etc. I'm assuming this is the last year that anything will most likely be exchanged for Valentines Day, other than flowers and dinner, due to the new addition. 

I also woke up to a new iphone case on my phone, a MK watch under my throw blankets and the bullet earrings on the coffee table! Swoon. 

His version....

Vintage pickup birdhouse, whiskey, sangria, and a LL Bean gift card! 

Friday afternoon was mom's follow up appointment for her wire biopsy. The doc said that the  results were "atypical" and that she needs a different type of biopsy. In 2 weeks she will have a needle biopsy and everything and anything done after that will be in Boston. Please keep those prayers coming and thank you so much to many of you, for reaching out and touching base with me during this tough time. 

Saturday was a venture out snow day. We were hit with another 10 inches! However, when you live in New England, a blizzard doesn't really stop your from driving an hour away to go to an AMAZING Pottery barn. Also when you have a husband who has driven a tanker filled with jet fuel through sandstorms at 60 miles an hour with no visibility in Iraq, daily, your know your in good hands.

I also think that I had an orgasmic cupcake this weekend. Since I can't have wine, I have indulged in sweets. If you can't drink the calories you mind as well eat them!

This cupcake was from The Crumb Factory. Boston Creme cupcake in all its yummi-ness.

Sunday was a lazy day. I cuddled with this pretty girl and failed at trying to get a kiss pic.

 Needless to say after 4 dog cookies in my mouth to try to get a cute pic, I gave up.

And to finish off our weekend we watched 5 episodes of Orange is the New Black (which I highly recommend) made a chicken pot pie and some waffle cookies!

I'll post the recipe for these delish cake waffle cookies later this week! 

Happy Presidents day! Now go do some online shopping!!!!

Baby C's Nursery Sneak Peak

Now that we know Baby Casey is a girl, I have been a pinning machine. The nesting has me all giddy to get this nursery up and running! 

The walls in the nursery are a vanilla color and I swear every room in this house has been painted at least twice and I've promised the hubs that I'd leave this room alone. 

We are sticking with the vanilla and adding gray and light pink!

Here are just the beginnings of a few ideas that have become final decisions in her nursery.

 So far we are going with a simple farmhouse theme to coincide with the rest of our style! I will be adding little pink pops here and there. I purchased a Bla Bla Doll for my best friend's new baby and I became obsessed with them. We have chosen "Claire the Cow".

The nursery furniture is Million Dollar Baby and the weathered gray color will be the perfect touch for a somewhat distressed but classy finished look.

My wallet is also empty due to Zulily. I found the gray wool rug on there last week and bought it asap. I get emails from them every morning, letting me know new adorable items are for sale! I adore anything that is directly linked to my paypal account. If I have to get my ass off the couch to get a credit card to pay for something.... I ain't buying it. 

This bedroom has two closets that "had" bi-folding doors on them. They have since been removed. I have requested that one of the closets be set up with shelving like this...

 I think it will be a good spot for eclectic toys and books. And if we have enough room under the last shelf, it could fit a toy chest or storage baskets for quick pick-ups.

And the other closet will be a totally custom amaze-balls project that I am keeping a secret until the baby daddy gets it completed.

Finally my continual poorness will most likely grow due to Baby Gap's  Paddington Bear Line. OMG, the stuff is so cute!!!

TGIF!

5 On Friday Valentine's Edition

I've decided to throw a curve ball on this link up. Rule breaker right here.

 I know Valentine's Day is this cheesy holiday for most of you but I thoroughly enjoy having an entire day dedicated to nonsense, lovey mush. People say Valentine's day is dumb or "we celebrate our love everyday" barf. Marriage is not easy, so to have an extra day to make you realize you've got something good, doesn't hurt anyone. Except in this case...my husbands wallet.

What's on your V-day List?

Happy Friday Lovelies!

Gender Reveal Party!

A lot of you already knew that our gender reveal party was this past Sunday. 

  Just to make things clear, we had our ultrasound on Friday and the tech wrote the gender down on a piece of paper, stuffed it in a sealed envelope and off to the baker we went. LONGEST drive of my life (honestly the baker is 500 feet from the Dr's office) and the envelope was burning a hole in my hand!! 

People thought that it was crazy that we wanted to find out at the same time as everyone else. We have a great group of close friends and a tight  knit family so we thought what better way to bring all of our besties together than a gender reveal brunch! 

Cake Topper Etsy

Pink and Blue Puffs from Michaels, Martha Stewart

Ham, Brunch Cups, Egg and Sausage bake and Mimosas with strawberry and peach puree was served!

We wanted to wait until after we ate to cut the cake. Why we were torturing our selves even more, I have no idea!!!!

Josh has wanted a baby girl for as long as I can remember! I was happy either way but of course glitter and tutus and pink make any girl even happier!

 And naturally at any party, celebratory shots are a must!!!

Our weekend has come to end, so happy work week loves and stay warm!
