Simple Joys no. 1

One of my very favorite podcasts to listen to, Journeywomen, always ends with Hunter the host asking her guest to list three simple joys.  I love it because it gives you a neat way to get to know the guest and learn what brings her joy. 



So today I want to share a few of my simple joys with y’all!

-a hot shower

-laying in bed watching tv while it rains

-reading a good book

-a freshly bathed baby


What are some of your simple joys?

Friday Faves!

Happy Friday!!!  Dustin is off of work this weekend so we plan on packing it full of family time!

Today I’m sharing all of my FAVORITES from this week with y’all!

ONE

I hate to put this above Harrison, BUT Harry and Meghan have their own Instagram and are posting pictures the public have not seen before.  I love this one of Harry and Meghan in Africa putting a tracker on an elephant.  If you haven’t followed them yet, follow them at @sussexroyal



 TWO


Every blogger I know is doing the Faster Way to Fat Loss (FWTFL) program and it’s actually a program that works!  I had signed up to start round 1 on March 4, but then Harrison surprised us all so my coach was gracious enough to let me start the next round.  So I’m starting April 15 and I’m excited.  I know two friends from college who are doing it and both have had major success and have said it’s super easy.  That’s what I’m looking forward to, so be on the lookout for FWTFL mentions after I get started!  Email me if you’re interested in learning more or knowing who my coach is!  (saraheshaneyfelt@gmail.com)

THREE
 I had my first baby shower last Sunday with all of my teacher and book club friends!  My friend Hailey hosted at her home and it was such a beautiful shower!  The cake matched the invitation and the only thing not pictured on the table is the iced sugar cookies that a coworker made and were absolutely gorgeous and tasty!


 Harrison got so many great things!!!


FOUR
 This is the beautiful hostess!!  We both teach seventh grade English together and I don’t know what I would do without her!  We graduated high school together but now that we actually work and teach together, we have become best friends–it’s nice to work with someone you love!  And she reads my blog, so Hey Hailey!!!



FIVE
Pictures of Harrison because he is my ultimate FAVORITE!  I can’t get over how beautiful he is and the fact that he is such a good baby!
 He loves to sleep with his arms up.


 Those eyes 


 I had just finished feeding him and we were staring at each other.  I love it when he just looks at me!


I’m starting to transition him into newborn clothes.  I love these jammies because they are so soft, but they are still too big on him haha!!  The preemie clothes have gotten a little small and newborn is still too big.


-Want an eye cream that will actually work and not break the bank?  I’ve gone through two containers of this eye cream and am about to order my third.  It brightens, hydrates, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!

-I realized I’ve never mentioned this hair product that I use.  I get LOTS of comments about my hair, and it’s so funny because my hair is colored and naturally thick and coarse.  But I do a lot to take care of my hair and it’s the healthiest it’s ever been.  On days that I wash my hair, I put this oil on towel dried hair on the ends of my hair to halfway up.  On days that I don’t wash my hair, I put this oil on the bottom half of my hair either after I straighten it or curl it.  It doesn’t weigh your hair down either!


Have a great weekend!!!!

Our First Family Pictures

Yesterday I shared some of the newborn pictures my sister took of Harrison when he was two weeks.  She also took family pictures for us while we were in San Antonio.

Our hotel was right on the Riverwalk and it was the perfect location for these pictures!  If you ever visit SA, I highly recommend visiting the Riverwalk because it was the most beautiful feature that city had!

The only thing I don’t like about these pictures is the dress I have on.  It doesn’t photograph well because it’s so loose on me that I feel like it makes me look like I just gave birth to Harrison ha!  I’m really proud that I even packed a dress because we packed in such a hurry, but I really wish I would have packed something that was form-fitting so I wouldn’t look so huge. 🙈

Again, there are SO MANY that I’m only choosing to share a few!
