It’s allllmooooost APRIL, you guys!
It’s literally the best month of the year because a) my birthday, b) our anniversary, and c) BABY MONTH. What is not to love about April!?! Although I do think that this year the birthday and anniversary celebrations will feel a little back-burner next to the birth of our baby…because THAT’S THE BEST THING OF THE YEAR.
Clearly, we’re a little excited.
We spent half our weekend talking about the baby coming and the other half doing other things. We went out for a little breakfast date on Saturday morning (because you never know when it might be the last one sans children), and then I went on a major cleaning binge for the morning and scrubbed my kitchen from top to bottom. I love a clean kitchen, but wow, it’s easy to let those cabinet doors and drawers accumulate dirt and dust for months on end. But everything’s clean now and I feel so much better.
My windows on the other hand….it’s embarrassing. No, seriously, they are AWFUL. I love cleaning and taking care of my house, but windows….! They are my most dreaded chore. But hopefully I will have both the inclination and the energy to tackle them this week sometime! You can do it, Lish! Just wash the windows!!! You’ll feel so much better about life when you can actually see out of them again!!!!
Some good friends of ours invited us for dinner on Saturday night, and we had a super fun time eating a good meal and having good conversation. Plus, I got to hold their four-month baby girl and that made my maternal-hormoned crazed arms feel so happy for a little while. And plus, we had the most delicious carrot cake for dessert, and it like this perfect gift because while I’m not the biggest cake person, all last week I’ve been like “I just want a piece of carrot cake.” It was the best.
Sunday was a bright and beautiful day, and pleasant enough for a brisk walk before lunch with Ben and the dog. We haven’t been out for our Sunday walks in months, since I’m too sissy to subject myself to more cold than necessary in the winter. We spent half the walk talking about the baby coming (clearly we’re a little obsessed) and the other half talking about how nice summertime will be again. It’ll be here soon!
Here are five things:
– every woman needs listen to THIS
– making this
– and this
– laughing at this
– this is so pretty
What about you: what did you spend your weekend doing?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
So happy my dear that April is here for you! In the midst of all the excitement don't forget to slow down and get plenty of rest for yourself and little one;-)
We spent our weekend tending to a nasty virus that took hold of our entire house! Thankfully this week everyone is on the mend and I'll look forward to this coming weekend when we can get out and breath some of that fresh April air.
Cheers to April!
