Updates
Here are a few very random updates.
1. My son might be in his pajamas until we are ready to leave for the park, but every morning Ali gets decked from head to toe the minute she wakes up. She might just be in a jumpsuit – but you know that jumpsuit has coordinating socks and a headband to go with it.
I’m obsessed with adorable kid headbands and bowties too, and my friend sells the most amazing handmade ones. Her shop is LilyBlooms Creations and she’s on Instagram too. Here is Ali wearing a Halloween-themed headband I bought for $10:
Isn’t it the best? I’m obsessed with it and Ali has gotten tons of compliments on it already. Raffi only has about 15 pairs of socks but you bet your bottom dollar that Ali has more headbands than he has socks. And the poor guy still only owns one bowtie. I need to remedy that ASAP.
All that to say – I love my friend’s headbands and I think you should order one. This is NOT a sponsored post. I just really like her stuff and thought you might too.
2. Ali is now going from laying down to sitting up! This is a huge development and I love it. And she’s still doing the inchworm crawl but is becoming far more effective at getting from one place to the next. Diaper changes are really… interesting.
3. I gave up on T25. Some of you already know that, but here it is completely out in the open. I just couldn’t find the right time of day to do it. Instead I’m doing another round of Insanity starting TOMORROW. It seems strange that I’m able to commit to Insanity (long workouts) over T25, but I’ve found that it’s much easier for me to commit to a workout schedule when I’m doing it with someone else (AKA my hubs). I’m nervous about having to wake up so early again when it’s so dark and cold, but I know it will be worth it. Between when I stopped T25 and starting this new round of Insanity I’ve only been working out 2-3 times a week. I hop over to the gym and do a jog warmup before lifting. I’ve been maintaining my level of fitness but I’m ready to ramp it up again. Here goes nothing!
4. How crazy are the Halloween celebrations this year?! Is it all because of Pinterest? or has it always been this way and I’m just getting in on it because I now have two littles. Either way it’s ridic. Check out my latest Babycenter post about this topic.
5. I know it’s still October and I know I just complained about too many Halloween celebrations…. but I’ve been googling Christmas decor. Stop me now! I know it’s ridiculous but I had a dream about Christmas and my beautifully decorated home. I’m trying to find images of what I saw in my dream so I can replicate it. I really love this wreath, but can you believe it’s $400? Wait. Actually, it’s $450. It’s nothing like what I saw in my dream, but it is stunning, isn’t it?
