Food For Thought

Hey All!! I have a million things swirling around in my head this morning and I wanted to document them here...so let's get started!

Our anniversary is coming up in October, so we are planning our annual get-a-way. I'm sort of torn between a fun city destination and a mountain retreat. We've thrown around the idea of St. Louis, Louisville, Chattanooga, Cincinnati, Gatlinburg or Chicago. Any suggestions would be helpful...thanks!!


I am on organizing kick this week! I want my house revamped, PRONTO!! So, I have a plan to focus on one room/closet a week. Things could get hairy, but if you like dumpster diving head my way.

Speaking of revamping, we are starting the slow process of turning Eli's nursery into a big boy room when we pick up his dresser this weekend. No milestone has been so hard to swallow, I am super sad about it. Expect a sappy nursery post soon...

Oh, on that too I am looking for Master Bedroom decorating ideas because I am so ready for a make-over.

I'm also making over my body..sorta! I went back to the gym yesterday for the first time since my surgery. My abs have ever since!

I have been stuck in the studio for the past few weeks planning things for the rest of the year, and getting ready for my photographer's maternity leave. My head is about to explode with dates and facts and all that stuff!

It's ok though because next week we get to have a shower to welcome Charlie!!

While we're talking about babies, a few more weeks until NBC's "Up All Night" premiers...cannot wait!

Ok, just looked at the clock...gotta go meet my hubby for a lunch date, and since I'm now thinking of food, that will be my title for this post.

Happy Thursday!

    I would say Chicago or st Louis.

    Now that I am spending so much time in my house, I have a strong desire to organize! But no time of course! Ha!

    What is "Up All Night"?

    We love Cincinatti and Gatlinburg is always fun too! Can you believe all that's gone on in your lives in just three years?

    Sabrina,"Up All Night" is a show that will be premiering on NBC with Christina Applegate and Will Arnett. It's about a young couple who never sleep thanks to their baby...I can so relate!

    Sarah, we were just talking about everything we have been through that past three years. It feels more like a decade...ha!

    Thanks for the destination suggestions...I'll keep you posted. LITERALLY!!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

The Best Is Yet To Be

My two grandmothers are 87 and 97 years old this year, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.  They've lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, President Kennedy's assassination, the race to space, the rise and fall of communism, the advancement of the information era, the attacks of 9/11, Covid, and dozen other "once in a lifetime" events.  They remember when indoor plumbing was a luxury and yet know what social media is. They're amazing. I can't wrap my mind around the magnitude of what they have witnessed. They lived in real time what we can only read about in history books.  It's incredible if you let it sink in. Maybe that's why they're different...not just them, but their entire generation. They're not like us.   They don't give up when things are tough. They don't complain about hardships or the unfairness of life. They don't fold under pressure or cower when they face uncertainty.  They speak...
