Linking up with these lovely ladies….
Jenn says
I am with you on Greys. I had all the feels last week during the show. Too much!!
Hudson is so cute! I hope you enjoy your day together today (and that you find some trains haha)! Happy Friday!!
Meghan says
Omg, Hudson with his buds is just too cute! And thank goodness for moms! I hear there's a day to acknowledge their amazingness coming up soon ;). Have a great weekend!
Seriously, moms are the best! Loving the sneak peeks of your photos, just gorgeous!
Every maternity photo you've revealed is gorgeous. Seriously. I love them!
P!nky says
Hooray for a fun Friday at home with Hudson!!!!! Hope your husband and your hips feel better. I know this might not be funny, but all I can think about now is 'these hips don't lie'hahah!
Laura Marie Keenan says
Ooh I can't wait to see more maternity photos!!! And Liam is a huge sandbox lover too, so I think we may design one for our backyard… Cause ya know, now seems like the perfect time to take on a project! 😉
I'm particularly fond of your number 5. Lol. Moms are the best. Mine is here as I type because somehow my sister's flight got delayed here in Houston and I had to rush her to the ER for some antibiotics. Now we're all camped out here at my house. Moms. What would we do without them?
And don't even get me started about Grey's! Ugh… I will be watching last night's episode today. I'll be bawling, I'm sure.
Happy weekend, my dear!
Jess Beer says
OMG, that sandbox pic! The cutest!!!
I can't wait to see more pics next week! And that picture of Hudson and his little friends – the cutest!
I'd like to start off by saying that your hair is gorgeous! And your little boy is so so cute.
Came by from Friday Favorites link-up. 🙂
Michelle says
Grey's Anatomy, my daughter has been sad all week over this. Like you, she has watched from season one and she actually cried while telling me about it. I'm not a faithful watcher as some. I have to agree about moms – watching my two grandchildren so my daughter and her husband are in Mexico for an anniversary trip. Yes, I tell her all the time, "moms are wonderfu." LOL! Enjoy yours!
Tara says
Julie, you have the BEST hair. Seriously! I think it's the prettiest red I've ever seen and I always love your curls.
Hope you're having a fun and relaxing Friday, and that everyone in your house starts feeling better soon. Thank goodness for moms! 🙂
Courtney says
My belly button is doing the same thing! It's flat but showing up in my clothes. What gives?!
That sandbox picture of Hudson is the best thing ever!
Queen In Between says
Maternity pic is beautiful!!
hello erin says
happy long weekend!! i cant wait to see more maternity pictures!!
Jessica says
I honestly haven't kept up with Grey's for a few years now, and knowing what I know now, I am kind of glad. I could not handle what just happened. At all. Why, Shonda, WHY!?! Your sweet boy looks so cute in all of these photos. And I SO know what you mean. I feel like other people get the best photos of Caleb, but any time I pull out the camera, Caleb automatically goes into "duck and hide" mode where it is impossible to get a shot of his adorable face (that's not blurry, lol!)
Have a great weekend, sweet Mama! Can't wait to see the rest of the photos!:)
The Lindquist Family says
Oh, boy! Grey's Anatomy!! I have been watching from the beginning too and I just can't handle it! Have a great weekend!
Elizabeth Birenbaum says
Hudson with his buddies is just TOO cute! I wish Mason's school would send me pictures. When he was in daycare, she would, and I LOVED it but they don't do that now. I'd just love to see him with his little friends!
LOVE the maternity photos! Can't wait to see more next week!
Also, Grey's, OH MY GOSH. I've missed a couple weeks and saw this week's and boy was I confused and feeling all the feelings too. I've watched from the beginning and don't know how they're going to pull it off without Derek!
Heather says
Hudson is absolutely adorable and your maternity pictures look beautiful.
Life as the Mrs. says
That is such a beautiful picture!
Morgan says
Can't wait to hear about Hudson's big boy bed transition!
Take a look at http://www.borrowforyourbump.com for a dress, they have some seriously cute stuff . Can't wait to see your pictures
Jenny says
yay for big boy bed success!!! Love those Dino sheets too! He looks so grown up under all those comfy covers!! Happy Friday! Can we get over the rain and skip to warm and sunny?! I love the rain but I want my driveway poured and grass planted!!
P!nky says
Rainy days in the spring make me happy, I don't complain because I know they bring beautiful flowers!
I love Fixer Upper!!! They are the sweetest couple, right?
Rachael A says
I love your red hunter boots – too cute! Hudson looks too cute in his bed – yay for persistence and getting there in the end!
Laura Marie Keenan says
I found a beautiful off white maxi at Nordstrom (Tart) brand for maternity photos that I was obsessed with. Not lace but gorgeous nonetheless!
Courtney says
My husband and I watch Fixer Upper and he has mentioned on countless occasions that we should move to Waco just for Chip and Joanna to fix a house up for us!! Have a wonderful weekend!
agalandherdog says
That lace maternity dress looks just like the one Joanna is wearing in the photo below, which is pretty cute paired with that denim jacket . . . just saying!
hello erin says
Yay big boy bed!!! I'm so happy the transition was smooth (I'm telling you. It's not bad!). And did you see Lauren margetic's maternity picture? Gorgeous white lace dress… Probably the same one. But she lucked out with warm weather sooo zero help over here.
Bridget says
I can't wait to hear about the big boy bed transition!!! I also LOVE Fixer Upper…my favorite HGTV show!!!
Love that dress! Some chambray or denim might go really well with it!
Jess Beer says
Yay for the big boy bed! I'm totally dreading that transition….
Jessica says
Yay, Hudson! Way to go on making the transition! Ashley from Words About Waverly wore a long, white dress for Easter that was absolutely precious. I went to check it out because I LOVED it, and it was from Target. Maybe try there? You can find the link to it in her Easter post I think!:)
Colleen Sullivan says
Love the Gaines! Joanna has the best style and the prettiest clothes. She always looks great but never over dressed. Hudson looks so cozy in his big boy bed! We're talking about getting O a full on b-e-d soon. They look so tiny in a twin!
Yay for Hudson sleeping in the big boy bed! Im ready to hear your do's and don't about switching to a big boy bed! 🙂 Also love those rain boots. I've always wanted a pair but am too cheap to purchase a pair….LOL!
Cat W says
I LOVE Fixer Upper too! Have you seen Joanna's testimony video? And congrats on the transition to big boy bed! We transitioned our firstborn son when the second was on the way and it was a stressful time!
Jess Scott says
Um, I have a serious crush on both Joanna and Chip…I love them and they way they interact!! I LOVE that Hudson is adjusting…I can't wait to hear all of your tips – we may try this weekend because I am FIVE weeks from my due date, and Cameron is still in the nursery…I have just a few things on my to do list!! 🙂 Have a good weekend!!
Courtney says
Oh yeah, I'm absolutely obsessed with Fixer Upper. It is just the greatest. Love them.
Have you done a post about what you're going to be doing with the nursery? What color are you painting? I can't wait to see! I love nurseries!
Lauren Kauffman says
I agree about Fixer Upper, so cute and so talented! I am excited to hear what you are having!! What a fun surprise…Lauren, http://www.happyhavenblog.blogspot.com
Katie says
i could watch fixer upper all the time. i love it. they are almost too perfect! and look at your big boy! yeah hudson!
Elizabeth Birenbaum says
I've told my husband the EXACT same thing!!! "Let's move to Waco (where we could afford a house!) and have Chip and Joanna fix it up for us!". No joke. LOVE their show and love them!
Hudson is SO cute in that big boy bed! Love his sheets!
Amy Coose says
Looking forward to hearing how you got him to stay in his bed, we are struggling with our 3 yr old. He goes to bed in his bed, but then he's in ours by midnight or so. I have to say, those hunters look so cute with your baby bump, can't wait to see the family pics! Good luck finding a dress.
I'm looking forward to your post about the big boy bed transition. I'm sure that's on it's way for us, but hopefully not for a bit yet! And I love those boots! Are they good in snow?
{three} My most favorite Kendra Scott necklace is on sale for 25% off at Nordstrom right now, thanks to their awesome price matching policy. I already had the “chalcedony” color so I decided to pick up the white pearl one too. LOVE. I get compliments every time I wear it. Seriously, get this necklace!
Oh we have a major staller here too – hungry, her toe hurts, she pooped … Smart kids!!! ;). Hope you are feeling well!
Jenn says
Hopefully with some time the bedtime stalling will stop….maybe? 🙂 Hope your Friday and weekend is better than the rest of your week! Good luck with choosing a name–there are so many good ones to choose from 🙂
P!nky says
Sorry your week has been tough, hopefully your weekend will be wonderful!
How cool would it be if you chose a name from here, so awesome!
Meghan says
I guess the bedtime stalling thing is the norm! Noah and all his friends are doing this now too! I was just saying yesterday that I feel like we start to wind down with bath and then noah gets riled up (with the help of my husband) right before bed! I hope this stops soon!
Jessica says
Haha! Your little bedtime staller cracks me up – applesauce? Poopy diaper? Whatever it takes, lol! Hoping it's just a (short) phase for your sake, Mama. Because even though it's kind of funny, it's also tough! We just went through a phase like that and I don't want to deal with it again anytime soon! Happy Friday, sweet Julie:)
Jess Scott says
I LOVED the Citrus Lane box this month!! We saved the wallet and apron for his Easter basket, and I can't wait for Cam to see! We have the BIGGEST staller at bedtime, so I started using a routine with stickers as a reward. What time does Hudson go to bed? I always feel like we put him to bed too late, but, of course, he never wants to go to bed earlier.
My oldest son was always the king of stalling. I'd like to say he outgrew it, but at age 10, he still comes into the living room 20 times after bed to say goodnight!
Love the Melissa & Doug sticker pads. Definitely a favorite of my kids!
girl. this was happening with kaye! it was taking her until around 10 pm to fall asleep every night. not only was that suuuuper annoying because i wanted some "me" time, but it also broke my heart knowing that she wasn't sleepy. what i'm saying is…we dropped her nap. now she falls asleep before seven…well for the past week she has. also. there's no stalling. she's asleep within minutes.
Kim says
I think this was our favorite Citrus Lane box too! The apron was a HUGE hit! Our son has been stalling bedtime, he will say as we are walking out the door, "Mom! I need something…" Then has to brainstorm something to tell us. Hopefully Hudson gets better about it and you get some rest this weekend!
hello erin says
that apron! and that wallet! so so cute! and i might just need to snag a necklace. i mean theyre on sale–which is the only reason i need to nab one!
Our little guy is doing that same stalling thing: One more book! I need a drink! Song? One more song?! Make a tent? One more book! 😀 If you find some magic secret to ending the madness, let me know!! Happy Weekend!
Tawnya Faust says
Scarlett has been stalling bedtime too lately, she just does whatever she can to stay awake, including telling me she's pooped her diaper haha!
Courtney says
Yep. Stalling at bedtime. Always. Lucky for her daddy isn't as much of a nazi as mom is :p
We looooove those reusable sticker pads. We can play with them for a super long time and it's so fun!
natasha {schue love} says
Ethan is the king of stalling bedtime too!! Fun fun times! 😉
bev says
Love the necklace and the video….every time I watch it, I smile!!
Elizabeth Birenbaum says
That video!!! He is too cute! We love that song over here too 🙂 Although it usually encourages jumping on the bed LOL
Kary Glawe says
Sweetest video. I love his singing!
Erin LFF says
That space apron is just too adorable! And I love Melissa & Doug- I buy their adorable stuff as gifts for nieces/friend's kids all the time! I am obsessed w/ those Kendra Scott necklaces but I can't bring myself to spend that on one piece of jewelry… ugh! Hoping my hubby is picking up my hints since my bday is right around the corner 😉
Jenny says
Ha callie used to be a huge staller too… but she just kinda stopped. A friend of mine had to make a bedtime routine sticker chart for her kid to keep her on track — and it totally worked! But she like lives on routine so it played to the kids style. Just an idea if someone didn't already suggest it! 🙂
P!nky says
Cow Apple? How sweet is that? He's so cute!
Have a great day!
LOVE those cups, such a great idea! Also now im scared to get Luke's haircut tomorrow. He's only 5 1/2 months old but his hair is out of control…oh well! We shall see!!
Illegally Blonde says
Pudding pouch sounds so good. And I love the Urban Decay setting spray, it was a must in the pageant world and Ive kept using it.
DeNae says
Those cups are so functional and adorable. I'd say, yes, those are a must have. I hate giving haircuts to little boys. They look about one year older just because of a few quick snips. Have a great weekend!
hello erin says
I'm
Counting down the days until April when our puj cups arrive! And hudsons hair always looks pretty darn cute to me!
Jenn says
Love the cow apple story!! Kids are so stinkin' cute! 🙂
Definitely need to try that UD make up setting spray!
Hope you have a great weekend with your munchkin!
Carolyn says
Cow apple – so cute!! 🙂 I need to bring in Weston for his FIRST haircut and this is exactly why I'm so scared. I love his fuzzy hair so much, and I'm scared they'll mess it up!!!
Nina Robinson says
Definitely gonna give that aveeno lotion a try. Nothing is working for my dry, itchy pregnancy skin and it's driving me crazy! And too cute about the cow apple puddings. I love the way toddlers communicate 🙂
Hudson is too funny. Cow Apple is the best!! Ellie is not a fan of chocolate so that wouldn't work for her but oh my word that is too cute.
Can we please talk about his hair though? That color is gorgeous!!!
Courtney says
Those cups are awesome!! Abigail would love those!
Have a happy Friday, Julie!
Kary Glawe says
Each time the hairdresser asks us what style we'd like I reply, "whatever we can get". Style??? What's that? Good luck just getting it above his ears.
Hudson looks so grown up with his haircut!
Why haven't I seen the chocolate pudding pouches?!? Looks like I have to head back to Costco for the third time this week!
Elizabeth Birenbaum says
I actually found apple sauce in a pouch at Costco this weekend! (Real apple vs cow apple – which we do have too by the way lol). Mason was as happy as happy can be and I bought 2 because we will probably never find it again!
{two} After a not white Christmas and a December of green grass we got hit with some major snow this week. And 3 degree temps! Remind me why I live here again? Oh yeah, because of my husband. He owes me big time.
{three} Confession: Christmas toys still haven’t been put away. Also, I have never in my life watched American Idol. I know. Who am I? But my husband’s cousin was supposed to be on it so of course we tuned in. Unfortunately we didn’t see him, but are still excited for him anyway! He got a golden ticket to Hollywood. Congrats Alex!
Oh, your prince farming!!! TOO MUCH cute!!!! Happy weekend, mama!
Jenn says
You definitely need to watch the Bachelor. Just don't watch the hour long red carpet beforehand. So lame!!
Meghan says
Oh I love the one minute thing! Noah has started doing the finger thing and asks for "1 more" all the time, but especially with good night kisses. Then he puts both hands up for "10 more"! Oh boy these toddlers are too adorable!
Meg O. says
I heart Hudson. You know, I only ever really watched one season of American Idol. I just never really got into it!
Jessica says
Sheaffer's recap posts are hilarious! I honestly want to watch the show just so I can keep up with her recaps, lol! Loved that video you shared of Hudson doing his cute little "one minute" thing – SO adorable! He just gets cuter and cuter.
Happy Friday, sweet friend!
hello erin says
So glad your back 🙂 and Hudson is totally prince farming. But keep the crazy away from him. This season is gonna be GOOD. Those girls are bonkers!!
I think for one minute (hehehehe) I could do the snow again. But then I see pictures like this, and can hear my dad cursing the snow all the way from Maine. That last pic of your little farmer is adorable!!
-Dorrie @ Bear Den Plantation
Your Prince Farming is just too cute! Happy Friday!
Oh the cold this week! Winter came in full force after Christmas. Brrr! I too love the Bachelor and am so excited for this season! Happy weekend!
bev says
Hudson is not a farmer, he's a cowy boy…..like Woody!
Jess Scott says
Ah, this weather is ridiculous – it's painful!! What is with toddlers negotiating? Cam says "2" minutes and holds up his two fingers tightly together…seriously, they pick up everything! I hope you have a great weekend and stay warm!!!
Kelly Elizabeth says
It is so cute Hudson has started doing the one minute negotiating! That is so funny and sweet! You must watch Prince Farming, from the season preview, it looks pretty good! Excited to watch! Hope you have a great weekend girl! 🙂 Stay warm in all that snow too!
Astleigh H. says
I'm a bit jealous of the snow you all got! It's frigid cold here, and I'm a firm believer that if it's cold there needs to be decent snow! And yes, you should definitely watch The Bachelor, the gals are crazies this season!
I'm hosting The Pick, a year-long link-up every Friday for sharing your favorite post from the week, and would love to have you join! It's a great way to meet new bloggers and build or add to your blogging community!
My daughter used to do the same thing, except she'd say "Just 2 more minutes." They are so funny. And yes to The Bachelor. Love me some Chris!! Those dimples!!
Have a great weekend!!
I love it!! Little H is just so cute and I love his hat!!
Tara says
Your snow is beautiful, but I'm right there with you on the freezing temps… so over it! With wind chill, we've been in the negatives…
Happy Friday Julie!
Liz says
We got that cold weather too, I also ask myself all winter long…why do we love here?! Stay warm!!
Elizabeth McMullen says
I got sucked into American Idol this season! That never happens! I hope you stay warm! I live in WI and it's been awful. I wonder why I came home somedays!
Beardy Heart Beauty
I'm so jealous of the snow! If it has tone cold there needs to be snow! Love the just 1 minute! How cute!
Tawnya Faust says
Oh my gosh I am laughing out loud at that bachelor premiere recap!! It is bang on and so funny… I totally skipped the entire red carpet (thank goodness for PVR)
Joie de Viv says
Prince Farming! lololol! Happy weekend!
xx Viv at JoieDeViv
DeNae says
Hudson is so adorable and seems like such a fun kid. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. Here's to a great end of second trimester with lots of energy! (You can hope, right?!)
Elizabeth Birenbaum says
The Bachelor… my guilty pleasure!!! Love it. Makes Monday so much more bare able 🙂
Also LOVE Sheaffer's recaps! I look forward to them after every episode!
{four} Hudson “helped” me bake cookies the other day and it was so much fun! I cheated and used cookie dough I bought, but it still totally counts as baking in my book.
Hudson had a blast helping me shape the cookies and then watching them bake. I wish I could bottle him up, he’s so stinkin’ cute!
Rachael A says
Hudson is so so cute! Love me a pair of Christmas Jammies – I'm off to purchase mine tonight!
even if you just open a packet and shove it on a pan and then in the oven, still counts as baking in my book!
Congrats again!! I love the picture of Hudson baking the cookies – so cute!!
The story about your Aunt was cracking me up!
We added a note to our Christmas Card this year and my Husband's uncle thought is was a list of things we wanted for Christmas…
Jessica says
That is so funny about your sweet aunt – love that! And still so excited for your big news:) Can't wait to see the bump and find out a bit more about baby #2! Do you know what it is yet? I was so sick this time around, and it ended up being a girl so maybe that will be the case for you!:)
Emily says
Oh that is too funny that some family members missed the announcement, ha!
Amanda says
Congrats on your baby news!! I love the picture of your son watching the cookies bake! My daughter does that too!!
I love the jammie link up idea! I will have to join that party because I am a sucker for all things Christmas pajamas 🙂
P!nky says
I missed the news yesterday, don't know how, but CONGRATS! SO exciting!!!
Jess Scott says
We did our announcement on the back, too…I should have drawn a huge arrow in black sharpie!! SO FUN, though!! I buy lots of pre-made cookie dough…it's the thought that counts, right?! Have a great weekend!
Sydney Hale says
That cute little cookie monster. I am sure he will be an awesome big brother!

Erin says
I just came across your blog and love it! Congrats on the upcoming arrival. A friend did the same thing with her baby announcements… wrote them on the back of the card! Thankfully she had told me to check the back or I probably wouldn't have. I found your blog on 5 on Friday 🙂
Elizabeth Birenbaum says
Oh your poor aunt. You know every card she gets in the mail from you now, she will always check the back! 🙂
Hudson is such a good cookie baking helper! I love the pic of him watching the cookies bake. Oh, and trust me, I TOTALLY consider store bought break and bake cookies as baking because that's totally what I do too!
Have a great weekend!
Jillian says
congrats on the big baby news! xo jillian – stop by! I'm hosting a Rikshaw Design giveaway for babies on cornflake dreams
Tawnya Faust says
I don't know how I missed this news but I did, CONGRATS!! 🙂 So happy for you and your family!! 🙂
OH MY GOODNESS…. congrats sweet mama!!!! So happy for you guys!! I bet Hudson is going to be the best big brother!
Cheers to Friday!
Karra says
We're rocking last years jammies.. I just love them that much! and those cookies, YUM!
Carolyn says
I'm seriously so excited for you!!! 🙂 Can't wait for the bump posts!!!
When is the linkup?? I'm trying to plan my blog posts for the rest of the month and want to make sure and play along!
Whitney Smith says
A big congratulations!!! Such a wonderful announcement during the most wonderful time of the year. We announced our pregnancy last year on Christmas and our family said it was the best gift. It definitely was for me! And now were celebrating her first Christmas and it just keeps getting better. Take care!
Whitney
XO Kerry says
Congrats Mama! Your Christmas cards are precious.
Now I have a new blog to follow for pregnancy updates! I'm 28 weeks along myself and love reading others "bump updates!"
Erica says
Congratulations!! Super exciting!
Ashley says
Yay for a pajama party link-up, can't wait!!! And don't worry, my nephew said he didn't want to be a big brother to the day my sister was due….that all changed as soon as he met her! He's a wonderful big brother! Yall have a great weekend!
Vanessa says
Eeek!!! Still so excited for you guys! Arden thought the baby was in her stomach too at first…it's a hard concept to grasp, I suppose! Can't wait for the pj linkup!
Sarah Emily says
Congratulations on baby #2! Hudson is SO adorable..the picture of him looking into the oven is just precious.
Found you through the link up!

Happy weekend! Yay for cookie baking! That cracks me up he think the baby is in his belly! I see lots of double date preggo indulgences! 🙂
Caley-Jade Rosenberg says
CONGRATS again – such exciting news, especially to be able to share at Christmas time!!! x
Rachael A says
What a beautiful prayer and a wonderful idea. Just lovely.
Jessica says
And now I am crying ugly tears. Hadn't even thought about the parents, out there right now in the trenches – just like we are – raising little ones who will one day be our precious boys' future spouses. And that day will be here before we know it. Gah. Can't handle it.
runningmomentum says
My LifeGroup at church just started "The Circle Maker" series, and in the video, a wife spoke about learning at her wedding how her husband's parents had prayed for her every day since she was born. Cue the ugly tears, yes! Love the scarf on you – I love getting ideas for redhead colors since I'm one, too!
Jess says
Glad your little man is feeling better. There's nothing worse than a sick kiddo. I'm so ready for fall to hit here in NC. It's still hot. 🙁 Stopped by throught the link up and love your blog.
Love your wedding photo! Happy Anniversary!
Colleen Sullivan says
Beautiful prayer 🙂 Happy to hear Hudson is feeling better! The scarf is gorgeous on you!
So glad Hudson is feeling better! Happy Anniversary to you & Jon!! & I love your Fall outfit!! May have to replicate it!! ;). Happy Friday!!
J Trogstad says
Congrats on 6 years and a healthy kiddo! Stopping in from the link up today! 🙂

Love your Fall look–and I agree, boots and a scarf=perfection! 🙂 Ive been stocking up on my scarves lately so I'll be in full supply.
I am ready for some fall weather and fall clothing! Today it is finally cool enough to not use air conditioning! YAY!! Happy Friday!
connie says
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !
What fun we were having 6 years ago.
What a beautiful prayer.
I did pray for the girl Jon would marry but I'm sorry to say I didn't pray for her parents. What an excellent idea. Now when I pray for that girl I can use her name, "Julie"!
V @ X-tremely V says
Glad he is feeling better! We are all slightly under the weather in our house 🙁 Thank goodness for the weekend!
Love that outfit! The boots, scarf, etc. look great!
And Happy 6th Anniversary! October is great for celebrating! My husband and I have been married 8 years on the 7th 🙂
Queen In Between says
Congrats on your anniversary! What a beautiful photo.

Courtney says
I hadn't gotten around to reading that post yet about your future inlaws, but um yeah, HOLY TEARS.
Your scarf is too cute! I Love it!
I'm just loving that scarf. I love seeing your outfits!
Emily says
Happy anniversary!!
Katie Elizabeth says
YAY for fall clothing! That scarf (well, entire outfit) is fabulous 🙂 And happy happy anniversary! Hope you two have had a wonderful day!
OBSESSED with scarves and LOVE that one! Now if only the weather in CA would cooperate and let me wear them without sweating my tush off, that would be lovely 🙂
Happy Anniversary!
{three} I talked about potty training in this post, but our potty seats finally arrived! (for the record, he likes both of the types we bought). Two nights ago, Hudson asked to sit on the potty so I put the seat down for him and plopped him down. He sat there for awhile talking, nothing happened, then he said “all done!” Well. I didn’t put his diaper back on because it was time to go take a bath. 30 seconds after I took him off the potty he peed all over the kitchen floor. And then while I was cleaning that up, he peed on the living room carpet. Oh. My Word. I am SO not looking forward to actually starting potty training.
{five} Last night my husband and I hit up a massive kids church consignment sale. Hudson made out big time. Lots and lots of trucks, some animals, a Lightning McQueen, Woody and Bullseye, a puzzle, and a ton of books. I don’t know who’s more excited….me over the great deals we scored or Hudson when he sees them all.
Jenny says
I'm totally saving this post for your notes about working with sponsors. I'm not ready for that (size or time) but had been meaning to ask you some questions about it – so perfect timing! Ok potty training — seriously you described our experience almost to a T! As for consignment sales I LOVE them! I recently found a good (huge) one in Lansing I'll be checking out their next one. Have you ever been to Once Upon a Child? It's a consignment store (sell & buy) they have great stuff. I used to go there in CO and they have 2 in the GR area (I was just looking to see if the Lansing one had opened yet but it hasn't). Anyway if your'e looking for more deals — great place to check out! Happy Friday!
Kelly Mock says
I REALLY Love those chairs! Super cute!! Have a great weekend!
Jessica says
Ok, so many good things in this post. I love the chairs and think they would look super cool with a farmhouse table. Thank you for sharing your tips on sponsored posts – I've been thinking about looking into that, but really didn't know where to start. So excited for Hudson – you guys found a ton of great stuff at that sale. He's one lucky little guy! And finally, have a great weekend sweet friend:)
oo! you should e-mail amy and ask her where she got her cafe chairs. they are restoration hardware similar but without the hefty price tag…unless you're like me and get fed up internet searching and just drop coin…then kick yourself later. 🙂 anyway…amy's dining chairs are JUST like those…or at least very similar. e-mail – farmerswifeamy@gmail.com
Those restoration hardware chairs for the win!! Adore those (and yes easier to clean I'm sure) Oh geez to the potty training and good luck! Hope ya'll have a fabulous weekend! xoxo
hello erin says
Those RH chairs are a necessity. And a steal! And I'm dying at the peeing. Seriously I love him 🙂
Colleen Sullivan says
Those chairs are absolutely perfect! I think they'd be perfect in your home. And what great loot you scored at the church sale!
Haha, oh Hudson, sitting on the potty like a big boy! We've started (loosely) potty training too and already had our share of accidents. They always seem to happen right after you're trying to get them to use the potty! My daughter ran off into her room and peed right on her carpet. Ughhh. This is when I wish we didn't have any carpet in the house, it's a pain to clean! Good luck though, I hope he catches on quick and I hope you share his progress!
Those chairs look so cool- question though… are they hard on top or soft? Also, potty training has to happen in my house as well but I did it before and let me tell, you there's nothing worse than stepping in a pool of pee…. well there probably is :-S
1. Love those chairs!!
2. Boys will be boys right!? Poor you girlfriend!!
3. Thanks for sharing about the sponsor stuff! Will certainly be checking that out soon!
Hope y'all have a good wknd!!

Lol gotta love potty training! It's good that you're getting him used to the potty now. And those chairs from RH — GORGEOUS!!!!
Angie says
It's about time for us to start potty training to. I've introduced it to my Lee Lee but she's not a bit interested. The child won't leave her diaper on though so I'm going to have to do something soon! I totally dread it.
You raked up at the Sale. Hudson should be occupied for awhile with all these new goodies.
Rebecca Jo says
the comment above… there's your AMEN 🙂
I hate when things in a shopping cart keeps calling me back…. so hard to resist beautiful things sometimes – especially on a sale!
Loving your light fixture and so glad Hudson is back to his normal habits!
Happy weekend!!

Love the light fixture…a month is nothing around this house. 😉 And so glad Hudson is doing better at bedtime. I know that's a relief!
Karra says
yay for sleeping babies! and that Nordstrom anniversary sale is totally calling my name!
Jessica says
He's definitely your mini – LOVE it! You're both adorable:)
The new light fixture looks great. Amazing how the little things can feel like such a big difference, right? I'm a terrible influence and would tell you to totally go for the bracelet at such a good price. But, then again, there are several things sitting in my cart that I am still contemplating and haven't pulled the trigger on because I've already blown the budget big time this month. So…there's that. First world problems, indeed:)
Emily says
Loving the light fixture, the dog, and your hair!

Kristy Mays says
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Also thanks for giving some feedback on the food pouches you use. I have been debating on which ones to buy for a while now. I don't have a dishwasher though so I wasn't sure how difficult they'd be to thoroughly clean…
Jessica says
Loving that you're getting a much-deserved long weekend! Happy birthday, sweet girl:) And SO wish I had a Nordstrom card right now. Hoping some of those KS earrings will still be available next week when the sale opens up for non – cardholders!
Ericka says
We totally deserved those Kendra Scott earrings! Thanks for convincing me to get a pair!!
Les says
That pouch is so beautiful! Love it! And yay for it being your birthday!!! I hope you get to celebrate and that you feel super special! 🙂
I'm stopping by from the link up! Have a great weekend!
hello erin says
The best part about a toy story addiction is the fact that the movies aren't annoying! And those KS are adorbs!! I totally wish I was a cardholder and could take advantage of the sale early!
Rebecca Jo says
That's the 2nd time I've seen those earrings… I think its a sign I need to get them.
I never tire of Toy Story.. any of them.
Tawnya Faust says
Oh Hudson is getting so BIG! Can't wait to see what you have planned for your Bday! 🙂

Cute blog! I also subscribe to the "get what you want" theory after a long week – you have worked hard, you earn it! Enjoy your birthday weekend!

Weston's two favorite foods lately seem to be cheese and bread. I might need to make the kid a grilled cheese. HAHAHA

First things first. Hudson… cutest kid. So SO cute.
And who doesn't love a four day weekend? Nobody. The answer is most definitely, nobody.
Hope you have the best birthday yet!! I think a few more pairs of earrings are in order. 🙂
So envious you are a Nordstrom card holder and have early access to the sale! I need some of those Kendra Scott earrings as well as a few other items I have my eye on!
Have a wonderful birthday!!! get spoilt some!
That pouch is gorgeous!
Classy Fab Sarah says

Kristin T says
Happy Birthday. Love the mason jar!
Sara McCarty says
Oh, the Toy Story love! We're right there with you. We downloaded the 2nd one to the iPad for vacation and Mac's been watching it nonstop since May! I just recently joined the Disney Movie Club, so I bought the other two to give us a break from this one. And Monster's University is On Demand right now, so we've been pushing that one, but he still loves his Toy Story!
Wow, 39 weeks, so exciting MAMA! YOu look great and love all your pictures with your lil man! Have a fabulous weekend, pretty lady!
Oh my goodness–he has his own seat on your tummy! haha You look fabulous, girl! Baby watch continues!!!
Gods vibes indeed; I'm all about keeping traditions going. 😉
Enjoy the cuddles and get some rest!
Yay I hope it's baby day for you!!! Haha Scarlett is also known to rock the boots on the wrong feet and PJs. Like you said, I pick my battles!!
Glad you are squeezing In as many Hudson snuggles as you can! C'mon baby! And I love that quote!
Come on baby!! But you look so good I'm sure you could last another few weeks… The rule is you have to hit hot mess status before the babe will make its debut.
So close!!! Hope the baby makes an appearance today!!!
Hope that baby comes soon for you! I know these last couple of days and weeks are tough, but you are almost to the end! Hang in there:)
Hope your new sweet little one comes soon! Have a great weekend!

Come on Baby!!! Both my daughters were born on the 4th of their months at 8a in the morning, totally worked for me 🙂
Looking so cute and I'm loving that kimono! Here's to a sweet little baby making his or her appearance very soon!
so excited for you! your kimonos are always the CUTEST and can't wait to see what baby is ♥
Love your kimono! And your hair (which I've said before). Hoping you have your new addition soon!
awh! I love the first picture with him on your cute belly 🙂 and I really like that quote! Although I don't have kids, it's good advice for the future to enjoy all the moments I have with my kids before they grow up and start their own families.sending baby vibes that this one helps keep up the 5th tradition!

You look adorable!! Hope your baby comes today on the 5th (I am a math teacher, so love numbers stuff like this!) My in laws were married June 27, my sister in law was born February 27, brother in law on November 27 & my husband was due on May 27, but arrived early on May 18. They love the number 27 in his family 🙂
Oh man. Toddlers. HAHA! Weston has been really clingy lately too! "no mom-mom!" for everything! MOM-MOM NEEDS A BREAK. 🙂 But that quote is so true – it'll be gone way too fast and I'll miss that little toddler voice!
I just came across your blog. You look adorable! I had my second child almost 6 months ago and it has been an incredible journey. I think your little guy is going to do great with the new baby! 🙂

Aww sweet Hudson!! His world is about to be rocked but, no doubt he's going to be a great big brother!!
