who knew???

WHO KNEW???

Who knew that my hair would look like this if I only took the time to diffuse it?

So for the past 5 years, I have just let my hair air dry when i wear it curly, but not today!

ok, for real though, I feel like i'm straight from the 90's! when nate got home, all he said was "your hair is so curly."  That's all.... at least he notices. I should def tame this hair, lol

I saw you creeping my picture, so ill just explain the thing on the back of the door.

Who knew that this shoe holder would be one of my favorite items i own?

we literally had no counter or cupboard in our bathroom for the first few years of our marriage, so i used this, and still love it! #organizationalfreakhere

Who knew my house would look like this every monday morning?

Remember my last post about "I'm so glad when daddy gets home?" Well, I really am. But I guess we are all so glad, that we neglect cleaning.....every. single. weekend. Its crazy. Back when I was super sick and depressed in my pregnancy, monday mornings were the worst! I serioulsy didnt want to get out of bed. I was just in the mode of training nate to clean up before he went to work on monday morning when i started feeling better. haha     but you know what, I dont mind. we just get all distracted staring into each other's eyes and telling each other how much we love each other....then WHAP eli throws a book in our laps and is ready to read.      That's basically how every minute of every weekend goes. for real.

Who knew I would have enough energy at 6 mos pregnant to put together a lovely picnic for my family?

doesnt this look so fun! I love it!  #realpicnicinabasket

• we've got some healthy bread with tuna (my own recipe, aint no one got time for mayo!! i use creamed corn to get the creaminess, balsamic vinegar, and lemon pepper,....LOVE IT!!!  --this time i threw in some sun-dried tomato dressing for a little kick)
• nice pre-made salad (nate is healthy these days, but still doesnt like salad, so if i already have it made, he will eat it to be nice, haha)
• hummus with peppers and carrots to dip in it, and chips too for some dessert haha
• and some sweet pickles. no picnic is complete without sweet pickles, you can see mine falling out of my sandwich. its the only time i willingly eat high fructose corn syrup and enjoy it :)

Who knew that Nate would be the one to come up with the idea to cut out sweets because they make us feel gross?

So, I have had a wonderful, wonderful last few weeks! and the weekend was great! minus my mini  break down at church, and late sunday night...and then monday night....normal pregjess came out. (just thought i'd put that out there. I hate it when people fake that their life is all perfect on social media, but its not #herestobeingreal)    SO we realized that nate and I have both had "bad days" right after we eat lots of sweets and gross stuff...but he was the one to make the comment, so ill hold him to it til we die  #iambrainwashinghim #wait #noimnot #wefeelgreatwhenhealthy      

***********************

but today is back to being great! #nojoking

AND just to make your heart melt,

look at how happy eli is to be outside and sliding down the slide by himself

#caughthimintheair
