Life Lately

You Can Find Me Today….

Tuesday, August 4, 2020

Yesterday was my first day back to school, and I’m pretty sure the meme above is me once I finally crawled into bed at 10 PM. Students aren’t back yet–they’ll come on Monday–but I’m still exhausted!!

Today I’m being featured on The Bolin Bunch blog, so head over there to read my interview!

See y’all back here Friday!

It’s been a little while since I’ve done a life lately! Life has definitely looked different–this summer compared to last summer. I’m dying to take Harrison out and about shopping and what not, but we have very high numbers that keep rising in my area, and since most people out don’t wear masks (not mandated here), I can’t take him out in public.

So I’m here to share what our life looks like lately all at home haha!

I was really thirsty the other day but not feeling water or La Croix, so I blended frozen strawberries with the Simply Light Lemonade. It was pretty good! I remembered seeing an IG post from Megan Skalla, so I wanted to try it out since I had all of the ingredients on hand.

Just wearing my favorite royal’s shirt! Although I got this for my birthday back in October–before Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior working royals.

Speaking of, if you like royal podcasts, I highly recommend HeirHeads! It does have language so be aware, but Royally Obsessed swapped hosts and I’m not really liking the new hosts. One of the hosts from HeirHeads sounds British while the other sounds Irish–they both live in the UK, so they can give a perspective from someone actually living where the monarchy is. (P.S. They are antimonarchists!)

I snapped this the other day because this is literally what I look like every single day. Nike running shorts and some sort of tank top with my hair pulled back since we play outside every day. It’s going to be hard to go back to “real” clothes next month!

Our 4th of July looked different because Dustin had to work and my parents did not have their usual picnic (we’re talking 60-80ish people). It’s been hard to get Harrison to smile in pictures lately, but he really didn’t want to take pictures of me that day–he wanted to run around outside instead!

Since we don’t have a swimming pool, a water table will have to do these days! Thanks to my bff for getting Harrison this for his birthday back in February. It’s come in handy!

I got to go with my sister last night while she took pictures for the newspaper. It felt nice to go somewhere alone. Like I said earlier, I never leave the house because I can’t take Harrison anywhere.

Life Lately

Monday, March 2, 2020

We’ve had a lot going on lately and I’m hoping that things slow down. But I wanted to share a few things that happened in February. We ended the month celebrating a BIG birthday!!

-I got a Peloton for Christmas and started out strong, but sicknesses lately (strep for me and a fever virus for H) got me off track. I’ve still ridden it every week but I’d like to go back to 3 times a week. It’s been so nice just being able to go upstairs to workout because sometimes I don’t get started until after 8pm.

-I listen to a lot of Christian-based podcasts but sometimes I like to mindlessly listen to one while I’m cleaning or working on something. I really like Teddi from RHOBH so I’ve been listening to her podcast, Teddi Tea Pod. The episodes are long so I never listen to a full one in one sitting, but I like her so I keep listening. Any ones y’all recommend that I could listen to mindlessly? (Nothing crime-related!)

**Also, today marks the one year anniversary of us meeting Harrison! He was 4 days old by the time we got to him, so today will always be so special to me. To read about that from last year, click here. And for a longer post, click here.

Daddy took a ride on the 4 wheeler one day and Harrison needed to sit for a picture haha!

Waking up extra early calls for breakfast at Cracker Barrel! I still can’t get Harrison to eat eggs and he was too busy people watching to eat the back up food I brought…oh well!

Both Dustin and I were home with Harrison to celebrate his FIRST birthday! He was very excited to go eat lunch at Chick-fil-a!

And we celebrated his first birthday Saturday! I can’t wait to share the rest of the pictures once they are edited!

My sweet friend, Hailey, took this picture of us singing to Harrison. He looked so excited to eat his cake (his first time ever having sugar) but once I set it down, he was not into it at all. Didn’t like the taste or anything!
