My Friday love list link-up!

Today I am excited to join Britt's Friday link-up where all you do, is list a few things you love, shout out to a favorite blogger of yours and link back to Britt's blog via the cute button below!  
So here goes my friends....

Things I'm loving this week.....

1.     Air-Conditioning.  I mean in the heat of the summer AC is always crucial, but in the heat of the summer 1 week before your due date?  It takes on a whole new meaning.  Thankful we are able to have this luxury.  

2. Lazy days at home with my tired pup.  So this whole having a month-off-before-the-baby thing is pretty amaze.  Once of those benefits is that Sevilla is always exhausted.  Mainly because her prime nap times was during the day when mommy and daddy are working and now that mommy is home all day, well, there is no time for sleep!  Too much fun to be had.  So that makes for an always sleepy puppy.  And basically, sleepy pups are the best kind of pups.  I mean look at her cute cuddle bug-ness!

3. Waffles every morning.  I never have time before work to make anything other than cereal and a smoothie.  But now?  It’s waffles every morning with some yummy sliced fruit.  Sometimes if I’m feeling crazy I’ll even scramble some eggs.  Gourmet breakfast for one?  Yes please.

4. Sleeping later than my hubby.  I kinda feel bad about this one.  But just kinda.  Every morning for the past month when he leaves for work I am still lying in bed all cozy.  But then I remember that the other 11 months out of the year I’m the one leaving him cozy in the bed and then I feel like OK it’s my turn.

some togetherness from last weekend on the golf course... well him on the golf course me behind the wheel of the fastest golf cart you've ever seen!

5. Date night/date day extravaganzas.  Because we are so close to having a little bebe (1 week and 2 days from my due date eeeeeeeeeeeeek), Matt and I have really tried to take time to ourselves.  We’ve said no to obligations and plans, and yes to laziness and togetherness.  And it has been amazing.  I’m particularly excited about this weekend because I believe it entails heading to a new breakfast spot that serves warm chocolate crepes.  I die.  Delish. 

6.  Playing the “What is she going to look like?” game with Matt.  She, being the little angel that will be Georgia inside my belly.  We play this on the reg.  A few times a night usually.  We always come up with different “concoctions” of ourselves.  Like, Matt’s ears and eyes, but my lips for sure.  Or his eye color (brown) but my eye shape (huge – I was called tweety bird when I was born).  Anyway, we won’t have to play that game for much longer because she will soon be in our arms!

*********************************************

Ok so that is 6 little things that I am completely loving lately.  And now to give a little shout out to one of my very favorite bloggers – Brittany of Life of Charmings.  Brittany is a mama to sweet Maddalena and her blog just makes me happy.  She makes motherhood look effortless but in the most real kind of way.  She’s not afraid to let her sweet girl throw peas on the floor, and seems to take in the world like I hope to as a new mama.  If you haven’t seen her blog go check it out HERE!

Happy Friday!

just say no

Having more time on my hands before the baby has been so refreshing.  I have been able to get so much accomplished before Georgia arrives but I have also given myself permission to sit and be still.  To enjoy lunch and long coffee dates with friends.  And it makes me think.  I saw this quote on dear ole Pinterest and it pierced my heart.  Especially with a babe on the way, and thinking about who she will be surrounded by.  

As a self-professed people-pleaser it is so easy for me to say yes to everything and everyone.  Especially because I have no excuse now!  I mean, I'm off work for a month before my baby comes (thank you teacher schedule), so what else do I have to do?  The truth is, sometimes nothing.  But the older I get the more I am aware of the company I keep.  I have said it before and I will say it again - I have been incredibly blessed by loving and supportive friends and family.  So those are the people I will say yes to.  And if you are in my shoes and like to please people (or hate to say no), I encourage you to start saying no.  Say no to things that stress you out.  Say no to people that stress you out.  Say no to people that bring you down.  Because life is too short.  So surround yourself with people who know you inside and out and still love you.  

Happy Tuesday.

Georgia's Nursery Tour!

So I already wrote a little about what is in Georgia's nursery here, but below is the full tour.  I feel even the pictures don't give it justice, but at the same time it still feels so empty.  Maybe because all I can picture lately is my sweet baby girl in this room.  And really that's all it needs.  So until she arrives, here is my empty nursery.... :)
