Friday Favorites

friday favorites flower look

I haven't done one of these in a while so I thought it would be fun to join in today.

  1. New Stairs: My sweet husband has been properly redoing our stairs and they are finally almost finished (with a few touch ups)! When we built our house in 2013 we had carpeted stairs (THE WORST!) and it got worn down pretty quickly. Last year he took the carpet up and ended up just staining the wood that was there for the time being (that's how desperate we were to get rid of the carpet!). We finally bit the bullet on buying new stair treads and some white board for the risers and seeing the transformation has been one of my FAVORITES. I honestly didn't realize how awful the stained wood looked until I saw the new treads going in. We also replaced the bead board (that we'd put in as the risers) with just a simple white board and it looks so good. Thanks hubs!

  2. Kitchen Linens: Have y'all seen the new line of kitchen linens from The Pioneer Woman?! I started reading her blog last year and fell in love with her stuff (it's sold at WalMart so I would have never known about it had I not seen it on her blog). We actually got a set of her dishes for Christmas and I love them so much! I have a major obsession with cute kitchen towels and I love a good table runner. Her stuff is definitely a FAVORITE.

  3. Warm Weather: We've gotten a taste of spring this week and it's been so wonderful! I love getting outside with Beckett in the evenings while he runs around or drives his car like a mad mad around the driveway, yard and our cul-de-sac. The sunsets from our house are my FAVORITE and I've been missing those through the winter months.

That's it for today. I hope you have a great weekend! I'm looking forward to taking Beckett to Wee Craft in the morning at the little art studio that I blogged about earlier this week. Hopefully we'll make some progress on the nursery and get to spend some time outside too.

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night. Weight: 21.4 lbs, Length: 29.5" [caption id="attachment_4...

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
