Friday

{the delicious sweet biscuits @ Tasty n Sons}

1.   My plans this summer include       going to the lakehouse for a week, and a (surprise) Selena Gomez concert & trip to the Atlanta Aquarium!

2.  The best summer I ever had was    oh that's a tough one. They've all been pretty good, but I'd say this one HAS to be the best because we have Maddie now, so our family is complete.

3.  Summer is    grilling out, swimming, lazy days, and firefly catching.

4.  My favorite summer food is   currently...grilled vidalia onions marinated in Sweet Onion dressing. OMG. So good.

5.  The best way to quench a summer thirst is with    ice cold water. Mmmmmmm.

6.  My summer uniform consists of       longish shorts, sleeveless tops, rainbow flip flops.

7.  The best thing about summer is       that it gives me time to spend with Kiley and Casey, since they don't have to be at school all day. Love.

Fill in the Blank Friday!

1.   The best news I ever received was       finding out I was pregnant. Nothing beats that feeling!

2.  Something I'm looking forward to is    our lake vacation. Between work, general family life, and this house buying stress, I need a break!

3.  Something I would never do is    go on those crazy rides on top of that hotel in Vegas...here's what I mean

4.  If I could choose someone to be my life coach (famous or not, living or dead), I'd choose   Nancy Botwin. She gets stuff done.

5.  If I had to put a label on my style it would be    Mom of 2. LOL.

6.  One should always       enjoy life while it's happening.

7.  I want to       know we're getting this house for sure! I hate the not knowing.

1.   The last thing I ate was      Chicken nuggets and french fries. Yeah, real healthy.

2.  The next thing I'd like to eat is    Braised short ribs over mushroom risotto. Yum.

3.  The best things     in the world are the members of my family. Love my days with Casey, Kiley, and Madelyn

4.  Something that makes me supremely and utterly happy is   days off with the whole family, where we go on a fun outing.

5.  Sports are     a mixed bag. Love hockey, like college football and nfl, like soccer, the rest....meh.

6.  I miss       sleep. Sad to say it, but sometimes I do.

7.  Right now I am       waiting for Casey to get home so we can start grilling out some dinner. Yum.

Friday Catch Up!

I know it's been ages since I last blogged, we've just been so busy. We had Kiley's dance recital, we're trying to purchase a house, plus Maddie is becoming a very active baby who always wants play time! I am planning on doing a large catch up post later today, as well as Maddie's 5 month update! But for now while Maddie and Casey sleep (Kiley is at Nana's & Papa's house) I will do Fill in the Blank Friday.

1.   The last movie I saw was       Bridesmaids. It's so freaking hilarious. All I have to say is "It's happening" and I dissolve into laughter.

 

2.  I want to    get under contract on this dream house we found!

3.  Surprises are     awful. I hate them, really. Please don't surprise me. Ever.

4.  The best accessory is   my diaper bag. Thanks, honey!

5.  My favorite warm drink is     Non-fat, no whip pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. Mmmm, is it September yet?

6.  My favorite cold drink is       Cherry Sundrop, which I can't drink currently because Maddie does not tolerate caffeine well at all.

7.  Currently loving      Remember the Mountain Bed by Wilco. I heard them play it live when I saw them in Indianapolis a few summers ago, but had never been able to find it, until I looked it up on my MP3 app on my phone. Yay, smart phones!

Fill in the Blank Friday!

1.   If I could get away somewhere for the weekend I would go       to the lakehouse, because it's close enough for a weekend trip   and I would bring      Casey. We are in need of a parent's only vacation! Ha, right, maybe in 5 years or so

2.  Something I often rant about is    coworkers and acquaintances who annoy me!

3.  One item I need to have in my fridge at all time is     yogurt. My go-to snack

4.  My "life-saving" product is   .More Milk Plus...without it I wouldn't be able to exclusively breastfeed Maddie.

5.  A friend is someone who    laughs, cries, schemes, and dreams with you.

6.  If I could write my own blank it would be       my first childhood memory is...

7.  My favorite kind of art is       my brother Lee's paintings. He's amazing.

Fill in the Blank Friday!

I almost forgot to do this today! Here we go:

1.   People always tell me I look like       well, I haven't been told I look like anyone in a while. In high school though, people always told me I looked like Julia Stiles.

2.  Friends don't let friends    go to the movies alone.

3.  A sunny day is perfect for     taking my girls to the park and out for ice cream! Yum.

4.  My favorite accessory is  my family necklace Casey & the girls got me for Mother's Day.

5.  If I could afford it I would     have a housekeeper to clean my house. 

6.  The cure for boredom is       to go out! There's so much to do if you're willing to leave your house.

7.  I am currently "in like" with     ice cream, Jalapeno Cheeto's, and Cheerwine, which I can never find. Grr.

1.   What I love most about my home is       the people in it with me.

2.  I'm excited because,    I am in the middle of a four day weekend, plus it's almost Mother's Day, which I love, and Joni is coming to see me tomorrow!

3.  My preferred method for blowing  off steam when I'm frustrated is     well back before I had kids it was to go for a long drive. Now, it's taking a shower. That's my only alone time.

4.  Currently I am craving   a deliciously greasy burger with grilled onions. Yum.

5.  The thing I love most about my mom is     she is truly the best mom ever. She helps me out whenever I ask her to without complaning, she goes on girl's days with me whenever we can, we talk on the phone at least once a day plus several text messages and she is an amazing Nana to my daughters. Really, I couldn't ask for a better Mom.

6.  If I was going to write a book about my life, the title would be       "U-Turn" because that's basically what I did when I met Casey. I should really thank him more for the life I'm living now, because he is the person who made me start growing up.

7.  If I were to eat one thing for the rest of eternity it would be       pasta. Yum.
