Hello and happy Friday! B and I are on another day date today so it’s going to be a great one! More Christmas shopping, lunch out, and maybe even another movie are on deck for today and I am really looking forward to it! Plus, the weather has finally cooled off and the high today is only 39 with a chance of snow flurries!!!! If that doesn’t put us in a Christmas mood then I don’t know what will!

But first, some faves!
O N E – Cold Weather Clothes
Now that the weather is
finally cooling down, I am loving wearing all things cold weather. My ruffled buffalo plaid vest from Amazon
arrived and I have worn it a couple of times.
You guys, I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Get
yours here!
Another cold weather
clothing favorite? This toddler girlsdress from Target. Y’all, it is so
flipping cute! Look at those sweet
little sleeves! I cannot wait to see
Olivia in this and I SO wish that they had it in my size. It is perfect for Christmas programs at
school, Christmas Eve mass, and even Christmas Day! Girlfriend loves dresses and pretty much
lives in them so it’s a must to buy cold weather dresses when we see them. If you have a little girl who doesn't like dresses there is also a top that is very similar and it's on clearance for just $8.48!
T W O – #BigBoyStatus
Jacob has reached a huge milestone… no more harness seatbelt
in the car!!!! For the first time in his
life, he is rocking the adult seatbelt (with his car seat, of course) and he is
loving this new freedom because he is able to get himself in and out of the car
all by himself now! He is a tiny peanut so
we waited a little longer to make the switch, but now that it’s done we’re all
very happy! It also makes car line
pick-up waaaay easier!
T H R E E – Being a SAHM
Can I just say that I am
L-O-V-I-N-G being a stay-at-home mom?!
Yes, I miss interaction with adults during the day, but goodness
gracious everything else about staying home is incredible…
Early morning grocery
shopping and having the store to myself.
Actually having time to
browse at the grocery store.
Browse? What’s that?!
Making coffee in my new
Keurig and actually being able to enjoy it while it’s still hot because I’m not
being called into some random meeting or being buried under a pile of work and
forgetting about it.
Early morning workouts and
being able to work out as long as I want.
Having time to get Christmas
cards done.
Checking things off the to-do
list that have been on the to-do list forever.
Not feeling like I’m
constantly rushing all. the. time.
No more road rage because I now
have the luxury of taking my time. Well,
mostly. ;o)
Having extra hours with the
kids in the afternoon and sitting down to enjoy a snack with them and discuss
their day instead of doing all of this while trying to cook at the same time.
It’s just really, really
great and I’m so blessed to have this opportunity. I’m definitely not taking it for granted.
Now to figure out how to
make money from home so I can continue staying at home!

Pinterest right now! Head on over to see
how to make one for yourself!
Enjoy the weekend,
y’all!

Enjoy your day date!! Love the vest! I ordered it in red and black!! :)
ReplyDeleteLook at Jacob looking all big!
So glad you are LOVING SAHM life!! I knew you would....now if we just lived closer together we could meet for coffee! Or maybe we will just have to meet half way one day! :)
I would LOVE to just be a stay at home wife haha!!! I'm glad you're enjoying your time at home and hopefully, you can keep it that way!! Love your sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteSarah at MeetTheShaneyfelts
Early morning grocery shipping is the BEST!! Ahhh, that grape ornament, still love it so much, I sent a friend of mine your post and she made it for her wine tree!!! LOVE your vest!!
ReplyDeleteOh that's so awesome! Thanks for passing it along!
DeleteI love grocery shopping after I drop the boys at school..there is no one ever there. Except Thursdays...thats senior day and I made the mistake of going last week hahahah. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYayyy for enjoying being home! Love that buffalo plaid vest, Amazon is amazing for clothes!!!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would love being home :) It's been such a blessing for me, sure there are hard days and sacrifices but I am so thankful for this season in life :). PS Yay for your pin!!! How exciting! xoxo ERIN
ReplyDeleteI always shop in the morning (of course I'm usually with kids in toe), and I love that it isn't crowded! I'm go glad you are loving being a SAHM! When you figure out how to make money let me know! ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha. I sure will! Same to you!
DeleteYayyyyyy! I'm soooooo glad you love being home!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are happy staying home. Where did you get that cute stand for your mugs and kcups?
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new vest! All the reasons you listed for being a SAHM are exactly why I'm hoping to get there someday soon. I'm sooooo sick of rushing around for everything, and never truly being int he moment. Being able to browse at the grocery store, and not dealing with traffic every single day would be glorious. Enjoy your date day <3
ReplyDeleteGreen Fashionista
I am so glad that the SAHM life is working for you!!! It sounds glorious! That vest is super cute - I saw one in red and green and feel like I need it for the holidays, haha!
ReplyDeleteHmm now you have me thinking about that vest...
ReplyDeleteThat little Target dress is just the cutest! Look at Jacob in his big boy seat. I love that you get to experience all of that. I'm not trying to downplay any stay at home because I know all of our work is tough and there are advantages and disadvantages, but I've always wondered if it's as amazing as it seems coming from a "working mom's" perspective. Sometimes I really just want to say, oh mama you don't know the half of what it's like to be on the other side. I hope you enjoy your day date and have a great weekend!! Sierra~Beautifully Candid
I really enjoy being a SAHM. Being able to grocery shop when the stores aren't crowded is the best. Also, the same applies for shopping at the mall.
ReplyDeleteYes, that will be nice, too! I love avoiding the crowds! Such a time saver!
DeleteThe best part of the boosters are the ease of them being able to buckle themselves. Marissa is out of a car seat as of this summer AND she can sit in the front seat now too!!! But, she is nearly 5' tall and not even 9.5 yet, lolololol!
ReplyDeleteWhere the heck do you shop. My stores never look like that during the day.
LOVE that vest and I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying being a SAHM! 😍
