Our Week in Review

Although, the weekend and beginning of the week were shot due to the plague of 2016, I will say the last half of the week ended quite nicely. 

* We had our paint consultation and I am so excited to get started with the paint process. Since we basically want to paint our entire house, it will take the crew a full week to get it finished once they start. We are hoping to pick out colors and finalize plans this weekend! I think a fresh coat of paint will make a world of difference! (PS - Yes, we hire painters... I guess you can say we aren't big on home DIYs...)

* I have succumb to the Easter candy... I was doing so well with resisting, but that huge seasonal candy isle at Target finally got to me. Anyone else binging on Easter candy this week? Just me?

* I made crock pot chicken nachos this week, which is always a hit around these parts. I simply throw in a few frozen chicken breasts, a jar of salsa and I cut up some extra onions (bc my husband and I both love them). I set the crock pot on low and let it cook for at least 4 hours or so. Then, I shred the chicken with 2 forks. To make the nachos, I pile a plate full of tortilla chips, melt some shredded cheese on top and layer on the shredded chicken, some extra salsa, sour cream, etc. So easy, delicious and filling!

* I decided that our little kitchen area needed some Spring time pep, so I grabbed some pretty flowers from the grocery store and also got these placemats for our kitchen table. Oh, and I picked up this happy mat for our front door. It's amazing what a few little brightly colored decor and fresh flowers will do for your spirit!

* How horrible is it that I did not dress Cam up in anything green yesterday? I have been so focused on his Easter outfit that I completely forgot about St. Patty's day! He seriously only has grey, blue, red and striped clothing in his closet...oops! #momfail

* My parents are in town for the weekend which I am super excited about! We are hoping to even have a date night this weekend while they babysit! It's been too long!

* I'm starting to get really excited about warmer weather. Spring and summer are just around the corner now. Camden can not wait to try out his new pool :)

Hope you all had a great week!

Happy weekend, friends!

Spring Dresses

I have been craving a spring shopping trip recently. I love all the spring-y colors out in stores right now! I realize that my options are limited at this point in my pregnancy (the belly is out of control you guys...). For Easter, I will most likely be wearing a maternity dress that I purchased last time I was pregnant with Cam. However, I hope to live vicariously through all of you when it comes to spring dress shopping, mmkay?

Here's a little round up of some of my favorite spring dress options:

1) I love this Floral Scuba Mesh Fit & Flare dress by Gabby Skye. The print is so light and pretty and perfect for Easter service!

2) Another floral option is this Crepe High/Low Trapeze Dress. It looks so comfortable and flattering on any figure.

3) A lace dress always adds a bit of class to any occasion. This BB Dakota 'Rhianna' Illusion Yoke Fit & Flare dress comes in so many pretty spring hues!

4) Last, but not least, you can never go wrong with a good shift dress. Just dress it up with some fun heels and accessories! This boatneck shift dress comes in several color options and is on sale right now for $32.40!

The Great Plague

I'm reusing this IG photo for a little glimpse of inspiration after what was a very rough weekend for our little family. 

I had high hopes for the weekend. Plans to visit near by parks and explore more of our new town, clean the house and put away those last pesky boxes, organize a few rooms, start scheming some paint colors... Wouldn't that have been nice?!

We are all slowly coming out of what I will refer to as the 'great plague of 2016'. I shared with you all on Friday that Camden had a little bout with the stomach bug last week. Well, the bug spread to his parents over the weekend. I started getting sick Friday afternoon and it lasted until Saturday morning. Then, all day Saturday and most of Sunday I just felt like death. No energy, no appetite. I know I may have got the short end of the stick because of being pregnant (thanks pregnancy immune system!). Then yesterday, Bill started running a high fever. Luckily, he has not got sick (knock on wood) and seems to feel a bit better today. 

I'm slowly getting back into the swing of working and house chores today. I promise to be back in blogging action very soon!
