Never Ending Monday

We had a much lower key weekend than last week but it was fun just the same. Gibbie picked out The Lego Movie for Friday night movie night. She actually sat still and watched the entire thing. Squish fell asleep 15 minutes into it.


Saturday we went to a different farmer's market and it just wasn't as good as the one from last week and we didn't end up getting anything. I took the girls to a four year-old's birthday party. Gibbie had so much fun. It was Frozen themed and there were seven little girls dressed as Elsa and one dressed as Anna! Squish cried and fussed the entire time. I just stood around listening to mom's talk about the cruelty of not piercing a baby girl's ears which I found hilarious as I stood there within earshot of this conversation with my baby girl who has no extra holes in her ears. I have a strict "to each, their own" policy on parenting so this conversation was just fun for me to listen to (especially while they were throwing me some awesome side eye). A little while later those same moms made a snide remark about me ditching the Ergo when it was no longer keeping Squish happy. I didn't know moms actually did this bitchy talk about other moms thing until Saturday. I'm totally cool with it. I didn't know any of them before the party and I never plan on seeing them again.

Saturday night was date night! We started with the absolute most amazing sushi I've ever had this city! This is the closest we've gotten in town to the good stuff we had in San Francisco eight years ago. We then went to Sprout's grocery store because going without kids is a fun grown up activity for a date night. We bought super adult stuff like face cleanser, muffins, and Sriracha beef jerky. To finish our night we wanted to go to a new bar that has old school arcade games. The parking situation was so bad we ended up going to a different bar. Bad idea due to a bad cover band. Luckily, half pints were on sale so we each had one and headed home.


This was our second date night since having Squish and I'm still not able to loosen up. I was tense from the moment we left the house to the moment we got home.

Sunday was the highlight of the weekend. After church and a Whataburger lunch we headed to the plant nursery for tomato, basil, and flowers. We ended up with a stowaway! Gibbie named our big snail, Wormy:


It's always the most seemingly mundane things that make for the best days when you have a family.

This morning, Squish had her first rice cereal! She did great for her first feeding, having several spoonfuls before getting frustrated with it and having a bottle.





How was your weekend?

Friday Link Party


Happy Friday! I'm really excited about this weekend. Tomorrow is date night! Above is a (not so great self taken) picture from our last date night which was on my birthday. I'm super excited to be trying a new-ish sushi place that opened when I was pregnant and a new bar that has old school arcade games. What are you plans for the weekend?

Here are some links to hold you over. I've thrown in a few to Mother's Day gift ideas since it's just a few weeks away:

I love Etsy. I especially love all of the cute and quirky cards you can find on there. Here's some Mother's Day cards to check out!

If you're crafty and you're looking to make your mom (or your kids' mom) something special try these awesome DIY photo magnets!

I found this on a list of things lazy people need and I definitely think it's something that I would use.

Does the mom in your life seem to already have everything? I just know you can find something for her at Uncommon Goods.

I've seen many Pixar Theories but this one blows the rest away!

Words are awesome. Words are my favorite. These words had me rolling and The Hubs rolling his eyes!

I love using Pinterest! This was my most popular pin from last week!

Have a great weekend!

Saturday Link Party

There's so much to do this weekend! Later The Hubs and I are dropping Gibbie off with his parents and going to see World's End (I'm so giddy)! I'm hoping to wear my new dress which is a size 14! I have to mention that because it's been 10 years since I've been a size 14 and it's a wonderful feeling! The Greek Food Festival is also going on so I may make a point to get us there tomorrow after church. We have Sunday School Rally Day tomorrow at church to get the kids excited for the Sunday school year to start next weekend. Exciting stuff!

Here's some links to keep you busy:

A better way to give money as a gift. Sticking a 20 in a card is so over!

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Cheer up! This blog also has some awesome money saving tips.

I really want to make this family birthday chart but I wouldn't know where in the house to hang it. The Hubs and I are always asking each other when family members' birthdays are and usually end up texting his mom to find out.

Have you seen these photos of Barbie and Ken? I mean, we always knew Ken was a little "left handed" as my southern mama used to say. I obviously love these!

I love the Everyday People cartoons. This one is one of my favorites of the moment.

And now I'm crying.

I'm really into lemon right now and I'm dying to try these cookies.

Enjoy your weekend and here's an old picture of Gibbie to get you through:
Sometimes she wears fezzes now. Fezzes are cool.
