This & That

Happy Friday! We had one of the smoothest weeks we've had in a while - no stress, busy but time to relax each night.  Tomorrow we have some friends coming into town for my baby shower this weekend - I can't wait to have them all here!  This week's been fun doing some things to get ready with my mom - she knows how I love events and let me help pick some things and such as well as a big errands day and lunch together.

In other happenings, last weekend we enjoyed one of our final trips up to the lake for the season - doesn't it feel like it was just June and the summer was just beginning???

Even though the days are busy, I've made it a point lately to take a little break in the afternoons before getting back to the chaos of daily life.

It seems boxes are arriving daily - baby shower gifts, baby necessities and recently nursery decorations - the room is slowly coming together and while we don't have everything yet, we have a plan for what goes where/everything we need.

I'd seen a few bloggers posting delicious recipes for breakfast or breakfast meals they'd eaten, etc. and been wanting something good for a long while so Monday night Derek ran out and we had this casserole for dinner and it didn't disappoint.

After two months of waiting, our window treatments were installed this week! I'm still getting used to seeing them but we love finally having them - it makes things more homey.

With people visiting over the weekend we've been trying to use that as a reason to get house projects done and so we can feel "finished" before the baby comes.  Derek the DIY guy has been at it each day with different projects, wall hangings and such and I love that more and more is getting crossed off the "to do" list.

And our sweet Stella girl has been cuddly as ever... 

Have a good weekend! xx
