Life Lately: Volume 5
Happy Monday! I am finally coming at you with a new blog post after almost a week of silence!
Life with Lilly
Lilly has been asking for a sibling for a while now. Specifically, a baby sister which she has already determined will be named “Cece”. She not only asks me about Cece on a daily basis but has told every teacher, friend, and parent about Cece and how she will be arriving any day now. She refuses to even discuss the possibility that the next baby might be a boy (disclaimer: to my knowledge I am NOT pregnant). A few weeks ago we were late walking into church. Alex was carrying Lilly and I was walking behind them. Lilly was peeking over Alex’s shoulder at me, and as we opened the doors to the sanctuary, loudly stated, “MOMMY, YOUR BELLY IS GETTING BIGGER!” (hopefully in reference to hoping I am pregnant with her baby sister). Kids are great confidence boosters.

High of the Week
The weather was so nice last week. It felt so good to be outside in short sleeves and not have to bundle up the family everytime we left the house. It’s amazing what a little sunshine can do for the soul.
Low of the Week
I feel like I say this every week, but something I still am working towards is balance. I have so many commitments right now that I often feel like I am on autopilot moving from one obligation to the next. I am working on living with intention, saying no to things that I can’t put 100% into, and finding “me time” (that isn’t “work”).
Around The Web
- The Every Mom site finally went live today! I religiously read their sister site, The Every Girl, and am so excited that their new site is geared specifically towards moms!
- One of my favorite bloggers, Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam has been working hard on a dress collection that will launch this Friday! I love her classic and romantic style, and cannot wait to get my hands on one of her beautiful designs. The collection will be available at Nordstrom, too!
- J.Crew Factory (where the dresses in this post are from) is currently having a great sale today. 50% off everything + an addition 20% off! I have been loving so many pieces from them this spring.

Last Week on the Blog
I was a major slacker last week, partially due to some technical difficulites, but I will be playing catch up this week.
I hope your Monday is off to great start!
