Oh Hey Friday

Hey Friday…I’m back! Blogging with two kids under 3 is HARD…..so thank you for sticking around while I adjust and get back in to the groove. 
{one} This boy. He’s a big brother now and seems so grown up. He’s been pretty great with Sadie…kissing her on the head, talking to her, and being gentle. But want to know what’s not so grown up? Waking up twice each night. That’s what Hudson has done since we came home from the hospital and it is NOT COOL. I’m up twice with Sadie, and then up twice with Hudson. Holy cow, I’m tired. 
{two} My blog friend Leah madeHudson this big brother shirt and I love it! You can check out her adorable shop, Simply Made with Love here. I had specific instructions for our family that Hudson wear this shirt when he came to the hospital to meet his new baby brother or sister for the first time. WELL. Toddlers and plans don’t really mix well. He refused to wear the shirt. And he refused to sit in bed with me, look at the baby, and pose for a picture. So my “moment” was ruined. But such is life with a toddler!
{three} Little miss is already 2 weeks old! How did that happen? She has fit right in with our family and I already can’t imagine life without her. 
{four} We just got back Sadie’s newborn photos and I can’t wait to share them with you! Here’s a quick sneak peak….love her. 

{five} And it’s almost Nordstrom sale time! Who’s excited??? I’m a card holder so I get early access…..which is trouble!

Happy weekend everyone!
Linking up with these lovely ladies….

    This post is my life right now! Luckily I'm only up once a night with Liam & once with Finn (unicorn baby) but the sleep struggle is still real! And I can't wait for early access to the sale; I even have an 8am appt on the first day!!?

    That shirt for Hudson is so cute. I'm sorry he didn't want to wear it. πŸ™ I'd be disappointed too. Such is toddler life. That's a beautiful sneak peek photo!

    Can't wait to see more newborn pictures! Hudson is looking so dang old! I can't believe he'll be THREE in a few short months! And isn't it crazy how the second one wiggles their way in and suddendly you can't remember life without them?! Happy two weeks Sadie!

  8. Kathleen says

    June 26, 2015 at 2:02 pm

    Hi there. I'm looking to hire someone to add a little spruce to my blog design and yours is so cute. Could you tell me who did yours or who you would recommend? Thanks so much.

  14. Courtney says

    June 26, 2015 at 7:49 pm

    Hudson's t-shirt is adorable! Sadie is just precious; what a cutie pie!

  18. Jessica says

    June 27, 2015 at 2:49 am

    I won't lie: I'm seriously debating getting a Nordstrom card just for sale access. Wise? Probably not. With it? I'm thinking yes! Loving the sneak peek and can't walk to see more photos:)

  19. Joie de Viv says

    June 27, 2015 at 6:28 am

    Awww! Sadie is so so sweet! And please don't scare me with the sleep regression horrors! I'm already terrified.

  20. Leah @ Everyday Love says

    June 27, 2015 at 1:52 pm

    I'm so sorry Hudson has been waking up during the night. That has to be so hard with a newborn too. Wish I could deliver you some coffee! Thank you for sharing the shirt, the picture of him couldn't be cuter! We need to get miss Sadie a matching shirt with pink! I have the Nordstrom sale in my calendar. I'll be waking up early to shop online and then we're having a girls night out at the store that night!

  21. Alycia says

    June 27, 2015 at 7:29 pm

    oh I know all too well about the toddler not cooperating with clothig choices thing. We had a meltdown this morning, in fact.

    I can't wait to see more newborn photos!!! Love it! πŸ™‚

  22. Rebekah Lewis says

    June 27, 2015 at 11:09 pm

    I hope his sleep regression passes quickly! I'm terrified to know what my 20 month old is going to regress in when her sister comes in a few weeks :/

  23. Caley-Jade Rosenberg says

    June 28, 2015 at 6:24 pm

    Hudson looks like such a big boy!! And little Sadie is adorable x

    Hudson looks so grown up! I can't wait to see how Sadie's newborn photos turned out- love that sneak peek! And I have to ask- what brand are those blankets with the pom pom edging? They look so soft and pretty!

Oh Hey Friday!

Friday, finally! I only worked two days this week but man, they were LONG. I’m so ready for the weekend!
{one} Whenever I’m on vacation I’m always excited about the thought of coming home and sleeping in my own bed. But I absolutely dread all of the work. It seems like I spent the past three days doing nothing but cleaning, grocery shopping, and piles and piles of laundry. Oh and working and being a mom too. 
{two} We took Hudson to his first football game last night and he had a blast! Our neighbor’s son is on the local high school team and we had so much fun watching him. Jon is convinced Hudson has football in his future and all I can think about are the concussions! Lord help me! 
After two minutes of football Hudson decided he’d had enough and would rather jump in mud puddles instead. So maybe I have nothing to worry about after all. 
{three} I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the dinning chairs I wanted! I love them! But they are a little cold at first….but super easy to keep clean! Now, I just need my farmhouse table and I’m all set (hint hint husband, that would be a pretty amazing Christmas gift!).
 {four} Nashville is back. So is Grey’s Anatomy and Modern Family. If you need me, you know where I’ll be. 

{five} If you know me then you know that I don’t drink coffee. Ever. I’m a tea girl through and through. So needless to say I jumped at the chance to review a box from Tea Box Express. It is a subscription box service for tea lovers like myself! The tea and honey included in this box are my new favorites! The premier October 2014 box’s theme is β€œBee Happy.” Not only does the box contain a delicious tea, gourmet honey, and bee-inspired accessories, but it also promotes positivity by encouraging customers to reflect on the happy parts of their lives.

And Hudson was pretty darn happy to be eating the bee cookie that was included in the box!

 A few facts about Tea Box Express:
Price: $25.50 for month-to-month, $74 for 3 months, and $139 for 6 months. Shipping is $5.99/month.
Availability: Currently available only in the US
Each box includes: 1 high quality tea and 3 or 4 accessories per month
Deadline for current month’s box: The 1st of each month 
Each box ships: on the 15th of each month
Happy Friday!

    I am a tea girl as well… I occasionally sip my husband's coffee, but I just don't get it. Yuck.

    Those chairs are dang gorgeous!!!

  2. Cat @ MaryMarthaMama says

    September 26, 2014 at 10:47 am

    I so feel you on getting home from vacation and having to catch up with everything! We went away for the weekend and Monday was a looong day of catching up. And the whole football thing? Yeah… my husband loves football and would probably love for our boys to play, but I just think about all those documentaries we watched on the head injuries and CTE. So much to think about! And then I remind myself that they are 1 and 3 and I don't have to worry about it yet.

  3. Jessica says

    September 26, 2014 at 12:07 pm

    That little bee cookie is adorable – what a fun subscription box for the non-coffee lovers (of which I am too!) And I love that you pulled the trigger on the chairs. Can't wait to see how they pair with a farmhouse table:) Have a good weekend, friend!

    September 26, 2014 at 12:48 pm

    Cute chairs, but I love your cabinet behind it! I can totally relate to the excitement and joy of travelling, but gosh it is rough at the other end, particularly with a kiddo running around!!! Have a great weekend xx

    I am LOVING your blog! I just found you through this link up and your family is just precious!
    I love those chairs! With little kids of my own it's hard to find things that are easy to clean, while still being stylish. Those chairs fit the bill πŸ™‚
    Have a great weekend!

  7. hello erin says

    September 26, 2014 at 1:25 pm

    Those chairs have me wanting some fancy new ones too! And Hudson has me wanting a giant bee cookie….

  8. Jamie {the celebrating momma} says

    September 26, 2014 at 1:28 pm

    I am dying over those chairs…and I agree…the hubster should get you one for Christmas. Or maybe Halloween. It is closer. HA!

    Ooh I'm not normally into subscription boxes, but that tea one is calling my name! Perhaps they want me to review one… πŸ˜‰

  11. Jess Scott says

    September 26, 2014 at 2:53 pm

    Oh my gosh, everytime Chad talks about Cameron playing footbal, all I think about is him getting hurt! I'm glad I'm not the only one!! I hope you have a great weekend!
