Tuesday Musings

Happy Tuesday! I hope it's sunny where you are. :) We are experiencing some GORGEOUS Spring weather this week and I can't tell you how happy it makes me! I was actually planning on starting to potty train C this week but that requires us to stay indoors for a few days straight and I knew there was just no way that was happening this week... I want to do all of the outdoor things with her!

Just some random thoughts and happenings for this Tuesday:

My mom is having the first of two cataract surgeries on her eyes this morning. If you say a prayer or could send some positive vibes into the universe for her, I'd be so grateful.

Gymboree is having a great sale today: 50% off everything online! Their Spring stuff is absolutely to-die for and the sale brings the prices down to numbers I can justify. Especially if you have another coupon to layer on top. :) How adorable is this tiniest seahorse onesie for baby #2 and this seersucker dress for Miss C? 

This is a totally vain thought and not one that I take seriously at all but wouldn't it be nice to have a second wedding shower around your 5 year anniversary? I feel like that's when you get tired of all of your original decor and your appliances/accessories start to break {insert laughing crying emoji}. Our Keurig has seen better days, many of our smaller appliances (colanders, measuring cups, etc.) could use replacing, our blender just broke, and I am pretty sick of our bedroom comforter/decor. But of course, this also happens to be when many people are having children and home owners and can't necessarily afford to just keep replacing everything! I'm not a fan of the phrase "first world problems" but this is one if I've ever heard one and it's shameful. 

We had a really nice little weekend! On Saturday we had C's dance class and then I headed out around 11:30 for a birthday lunch/pottery painting for a friend's birthday. Of course, I got a picture of dance class but none of the girls' lunch. ;) Sunday was my mother in law's birthday so my in-laws came over for the day. They spent the afternoon playing with Carrie and Steve and I go to sneak out for a nearby open house, which was fun. Steve had put a Louisiana Roast in the crockpot so we had that with red potatoes for dinner and finished off the evening with some ice cream cake. :) 

Can you spot C in her blue Elsa tutu among a sea of pink?

Helping grammy make a birthday wish!

They see her rollin, they hatin... 

Sunday night I was feeling stressed about work + mommyhood + balancing it all and had a long impromptu conversation with Steve. You know you've married the right person and your best friend when they can just put it all in perspective for you. I began this week with a clear head and a positive attitude and I really have him to thank for that. Love that boy. 

And that wraps up the randomness for today. Enjoy your day, friends!
