Unleashing the Wanderlust Spirit: Exploring the World Through the View From Up Here

confessions, finally friday · February 27, 2015

Finally Friday!

This week has been so long–wait do I say that every week? It really has been though. 

Monday–just wait til you hear about Monday, it actually is in my confessions! 

Tuesday–after lunch with my sister and BIL at Flipper’s Pizza, I came home to discover Bennett had a 102 temp. Went to doctor to find nothing wrong with my sweet boy, just a fever. 

Wednesday–I stayed home from subbing since my boy was sick. Visited the doctor again since his fever would go away then come back. 

Thursday– Why hello fever, I am not glad to see you AGAIN. Cancelled subbing and tutoring AGAIN. We even missed our first swim class because of this evil mysterious fever. 

Friday– Here’s to hoping that the fever will be gone! Yesterday it maxed out at 100.5, a whole degree less than the other days! 

1. I confess that on Monday, February 23rd, 2015 I successfully walked 10,000 steps

Well actually I walked more then 10,000 steps…I walked 12,391 steps. I would like to think the academy Stroller Strides, Target, my husband’s softball game, and my in-laws for living a half of a mile away. I’m starting to think that Monday’s will be the only day I hit this step count…OOPS.


2. I confess that I love my New Computer Monitor

So way back in 2011 I purchased my beloved Macbook Pro to complete the rest of my Bachelor’s degree. Fast Forward to 2015, the thing still runs pretty great! I have been begging my husband for a iMac…(these eyes are not so good and staring at something on a laptop just makes them work more), in which he replies “no.” So I kinda gave up on that request. Until I had an epiphany, and said I could just hook my computer up to a monitor. The monitor was $150, $100 credit to Office Depot=lots of money saved! 


3. I confess that I cleaned our room and FOUND my sweaty band!

If you haven’t done so yet, I have a page devoted to my favorite products…this is one of them! It actually got stuck to the bottom of some gloves, and living in Florida I hadn’t touched them probably this whole season. The second I found it I alerted everyone, no one even remembered I had lost it. 

OH–I also found the Nosefrida after I had already bought another, nice…right. 



4. I confess that I finally set up Bennett’s Dedication Day at our church. 

We were originally going to have him dedicated back in November, but all of our family wasn’t going to be in town. Fast forward January, and I realized we still had not accomplished this HUGE task! Now to find something for him to wear. I wanted this one romper from Janie and Jack (the one on the right), but it is no where to be found since it was last years style. Maybe one of you can find it at a consignment store near you in 9 months! The one on the left is the one they are selling now.
5. I confess that I want this fever to leave my HOUSE!

I am over this fever. No symptoms=mystery fever. He was basically tested for everything under the sun, so the dr is leaning towards Roseola. Now we wait and see if a rash appears after this fever is gone!

Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let ANYONE tell you that one gender is easier than the other. Kids are kids and they each have their own personality. My daughter is very much into doing things herself without help—so potty training had to be done by her not the experts (myself). I used the same potty training technique that I used with the boys, and it did take a bit longer for her to get it—but that’s because she took what I told her to do and did her own thing. 🤣 The next big step? Moving to a big girl bed. I’m not ready. 😭
Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing. Elevate your @corepower drink by using the @ninjakitchen Creami. To prep my ice cream I pour my drink into the container the night before with some bananas. The next morning it’s ready, I mix it twice on lite ice cream. If it seems like it’s not mixing well just add a splash of milk. I typically like to add Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, but they were missing so I found the marshmallows and said whatever and threw some in. I then mixed it on “mix in” and it seriously tastes like a frosty. It is delicious!
