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

confessions, finally friday · March 20, 2015

Finally Friday!


Let’s cut to the chase. Friday will probably always be my favorite day. This weekend should be nice and relaxing, I don’t have much planned but to get some stuff done around the house. I guess spring cleaning of sorts. 

1. I confess my boy is changing every day. 

Literally every day is something new. Today during swim class, he was watching one of his friends splash in the water. Once his friend stopped splashing Bennett began, and then would look back at the baby…as if looking for approval. 

This afternoon we were going to go on a walk, but it randomly started raining. So we ended up sitting on the porch and blowing bubbles. I was teaching him how to pop them. I would catch one on the wand and then say “pop” to pop the bubble I caught. 

2. I confess I can’t stand skin checks.

My friend over at A Life of Love and Joy wrote about getting skin checks regularly. She kinda pushed me via her blog post to get mine. They ended up removing a mole on my belly that didn’t look right. It does not feel good…but hey the place has a cappuccino machine and lollipops, and tvs in each room. I’ll be coming back next year. 

3. I confess I got some stuff on J.Crew that I can’t wait to share. 

I had been wanting a rash guard to wear to swim class, as I always fear Bennett will accidentally pull my top down if its too low cut. I go the cutest rash guard, and swim suit. They should be here this week!

4. I confess that I will miss my date night with hubby tomorrow. 

My hubby has been working a lot, so I am going out with my sister tomorrow night instead. I am voting Cinderella…her vote is Insurgent. She will probably win. 

5. I confess that I am living on the edge with my last pair of contacts. `

I am just waiting for my contacts to just get lost or something, and then I will be stuck calling the dr for a last minute appt. That’s another dr I don’t like. That whole blowing in my eye is unnecessary.

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!
