- So I'm back on the Weight Watchers train. I did WW before Miss K and had pretty good results, and I'm one of those people that can't be told to NOT eat something or I want it that much more. That's the good thing about WW... I can eat whatever, I just have to make choices. In good news, I was down 4.6 this week!! Yes, I lost 4.6 lbs in ONE week! (Please note....I still have at least 25.4 to go)
- Miss K is absolutely cracking me up these days! We're working on our colors and last week we were getting dressed for school and I put on a red hoodie with white polka dots on it on her. I asked her what color her jacket was and she said red. Then she asked "Whas this?" pointing to the polka dots. After telling her that was a polka dot, she proceeded to say "cocoa cots". Adorable, I tell ya! When I picked her up from school, one of her teachers said they were cracking up for over an hour because Miss K kept saying "cocoa cots" and they thought she was saying "cocoa puffs" (which she has never had, nor do I buy them!) until she kept pointing to her jacket and matching socks and they finally figured out she was saying "polka dots"!!
- I've finally gotten the majority of my fall decorations up. I'm still trying to figure out what works in Casa de D and adding on the existing decorations. I printed a really cute subway art printable from Pinterest and made a few other Pinterest-inspired decorations this weekend. I printed and framed it in just the standard 8.5 x 11 size and put it on my mantle with leaves and pumpkins! Love it! (the pic below is from Pinterest)
- Here's a few of the fun crafts made this weekend!
- A while back on Gilt, they had Hunter wellies and unfortunately sold out of my size (9!) in the pink ones I've been coveting. Even though I've never had any luck on items I've put on their wait list, a few weekends ago, I got an email saying they were available!! SCORE...totally ordered them! They were beautiful. Noticed I said "were". They were too small on my calves. I seriously have the largest calves in the world. Sadly, they were dropped off at the post office this morning to go back to Gilt.
- Big Poppa and I are going back to New York for our anniversary next month. We both really love NYC and it's the perfect time of the year to be in the city. I love Broadway shows, and last year we saw Billy Elliot as my cousin is currently in it. Big Poppa is not so much a fan of musicals so when planning this trip I was trying to get tickets to a show that I know he would enjoy. I decided to try and get tickets to Book of Mormon since he was a South Park fan back in the day. Y'all they are SOLD out until February. And have been since this summer. So, if anyone has any good recommendations, I'm all ears! We did get tickets to the 9-11 memorial and we are really excited to go see it. Last year it was still so under construction that you couldn't really tell what it was going to look like.
- I'm not going to pretend like I didn't buy 4 Erin Condren gift certificates from One Kings Lane... but the great thing is I had enough credits and a Plum District voucher and didn't pay a dime! Oh Happy Day!! I have loved everything from EC that I have already ordered, so I am super excited to order more goodies!!
- I FINALLY finished my second Texas Tech wreath for the other front door! Everyone agreed from this post that I needed two wreaths so against my OCD self, I made the second wreath. It doesn't match the other one perfectly, but I do think it looks so much better with both of them!
- Since moving into Casa de D last summer, I have been struggling to keep up with all the cleaning that is involved in keeping the house up. Even though I came up with a weekly chore schedule in my Home Organization Binder, I still find myself not being able to get it all done. And I've really gotten down on myself since I stay at home now and think that I should be able to get it all done. After some creative maneuvering in the budget, I am so excited to finally get some help with the cleaning! I think having someone come every other week to help me keep up the big stuff will be a huge help!
There are still tons more bits of randomness in my head, but I need to get my grocery list together before Miss K wakes up from her nap! Have a great rest of the week!!
