This & That

This past weekend was a perfect weather weekend at the lake - while we only went for an overnight, it was plenty of time to enjoy the sun - it was the first weekend that I was wanting a jacket on the dock at night.


Weekend before last was our first weekend at home and with no plans in quite a while - we napped, caught up on housework and spent time at the pool.  Sunday night was the perfect "summer night" - an impromptu happy hour on the porch and then Mexican night on the deck.  I might be starting to get the itch for fall a little bit but these simple summer nights are my favorite.


It might have taken us until almost mid-July but we finally got our summer flowers - a few for the front porch, a few for the deck - not much but enough to last us the rest of the season.


We've been loving our summer walks - it's the easiest way for me to get a workout in while being pregnant and it's worked well so far.  Stella and I usually set out in the morning to get the day started then Derek will join us for a night stroll.  


Thinking about the holiday season with a little one to do all the "kid things" even though he'll just be tiny has me so excited.  I've been loving Christmas week on the Hallmark Channel and we even had a little Christmas in July event last week in the neighborhood.


While I wasn't quite sure about the Nordstrom sale at first I think this year I found more than usual that I like - not a ton but I think it was because I didn't go in to just "buy all the things" and had just a small list of a few categories to look for since trying on with a bump is hard.


My girlfriend keeps adjusting more and more to her new surroundings... 


Thanks for stopping by! xx

  2. What a fun neighborhood to have a "Christmas in July" event! I love your bar stools, too! :) And yay for lots of walks and slow, summer nights. I'm going to for sure miss these slow days when fall is here.

  4. Sounds like you all have had a great summer! Walking was all I could really enjoy exercise-wise when I was pregnant but it definitely helped! The lake looks so nice and peaceful!

  8. Is that cherry float from Target? I tried to convince Ryan to get that this year when we were up at the lake for the 4th! Love the picture of you on your new front porch, so pretty!

  11. I get excited when I start to think about Christmas with babies too! Even though they won't remember, it's still fun to think about the fact that it's their first one!

  12. Girl, I am ALL OVER fall already. Once 4th of July is over I'm so ready! And the N Sale seems better than ever this year. I'm not a cardholder so I've been patiently waiting to buy until Friday.
