Two posts in one week? Say what?! I’m very excited that I got my act together enough this week to post twice. Woo! I’ve been beyond exhausted lately (comes with the motherhood territory) which means less energy for blogging and reading. That said, I am so glad the weekend is almost here! I have a half day today too, so my Friday should be a very happy one. Hopefully I’ll be able to see my grandparents who are in town from Florida. We love having them here! Happy Friday to everyone!
ONE.
I’ve never watched Big Brother before but decided to start this year and am quickly becoming addicted. I thought all the games and competitions were really silly and just downright stupid at first, but now I’m inexplicably hooked. I think Jason is pretty funny and I also really like John even though all he does is YELL INSTEAD OF TALK. He’s a quirky but likeable guy! Anyone else watching?
TWO.
My best friend Taylor, who is also Caleb’s Godmother, is getting married in two weeks and her bachelorette party is this weekend… woohoo! Us girls are going to Painting With a Twist, followed by dinner, then spending the night in a hotel. It’s going to be a ton of fun and I’m looking forward to it. It’ll be my first night away from Caleb though, so it’s bittersweet. I think it will be good to have a night out, but I will definitely miss my boy.

THREE.
My first time at Painting With a Twist will be this weekend for the bachelorette party, but I’ll also be going back soon because… I won a contest! I hardly ever win anything so I’m pretty excited! They had a “post Independence Day” picture contest where you could post a photo from your celebration on their page and whoever got the most “likes” would win a gift certificate. I posted a photo of Caleb and his baby cousin Lucas in their “My First Fourth” onesies, and my sister-in-law and I racked up a ton of votes. The certificate is enough to cover admission for two people, so we’ll be going together. Can’t wait! Has anyone else ever done Painting With a Twist before? I am NOT artistic, but everyone’s paintings always come out so good!
FOUR.
Caleb is going to be six months old next week. Half a YEAR! How?! I’m just going to go and stare at my baby now, watch him while he sleeps… you know, be a creep… try not to cry.
FIVE.
Some exciting news for me that I’ve been dying to share is that I’m writing for Desitin this year! I was so thrilled when they reached out to me after reading some of my posts on motherhood. It’s been really fun working with them. My first piece went up earlier this week so let me know what you think! I’ll have two more posts up later this year so keep an eye out for those. Signing this writing contract and seeing my name on their site has been really, really amazing!
That’s five for now — see you in the next chapter.
