Thoughts on the Weekend

Happy Monday! We had a great relaxing weekend.

The husband was in Chicago last week for the Tigers and Cubs game. As you can tell from our sweet puppy Wrigley’s name, he’s a big cubs fan!

The husband made sure to buy a few little things for our baby cubs fan too! And apparently he’ll be a bears fan as well.

And he brought home some Garrett’s popcorn for this mama-to-be…he sure knows me well.

The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing (Henry)….

Making strawberry pie (thanks Chelsea for the recipe!)….

And making burp cloths! Well, actually my mom made them. I just supervised. Bibs and baby bedding are up next!
I hope you had a great weekend! Oh, and before I forget, check out the amazing frames I found a Hobby Lobby on Saturday….

Go get yourself some now! They are much more affordable than some of the designer frames you see for sale…and just as cute! Make sure you use a 40% off coupon!

    My hubs went to Chicago last weekend and called telling me he almost bought AG some Cubs and Bears things. Odd thing is…we aren't fans of either. It's like he saw cute baby things and just wanted to buy it all! This could be the start of trouble…
