The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

confessions, finally friday · August 5, 2016

Finally Friday!

It’s Friday and I’m loving that it’s the weekend and my hubs will be home to party hang out with us all weekend! I missed them so much last weekend, when I had a crazy pregnant bachelorette weekend. Now on to my confessions. 
I confess I seriously had a blast last weekend. I may not have gone out past my bedtime and danced under the moon on the beach–but hey I still had a blast. The bride’s sisters decorated so wonderfully and seriously did not miss anything. It was gorgeous, everything. I drank quite a few mocktails and stayed super sober, obviously. I’m glad I could be a part of it and that my husband could stay with Bennett. 

I confess that our slab was poured, and our house is starting to look like a house sheet of concrete. Hey, you have to start somewhere. In case you missed the pic–check out my instagram @myviewfromuphere. 

I confess I got my hair done Thursday. It may or may not have been 3 months since getting it done. Then I had this craziness happen while at the beach this past weekend and my sunscreen dyed my hair orange! I have never seen that happen before, so to even start the process of dying my hair I had to strip it. Needless to say I was there forever. But hey, my sister does my hair and if you’re in Tampa you must go to her or follow her on instagram @conicshaw. 

I confess my Bennett’s birthday is next weekend and I did not go all out. #badmom status. But really, so many kids worry about just playing. They don’t care that you made rollup almond butter sandwiches or any other fancy Pinterest find. So we are having it at a local play place–they do all the decorations and I’m bringing pizza and cake. BAM. I conquered the birthday this year!
I confess I’m 22 weeks tomorrow and super excited–I love everything about being pregnant this time. Which is wonderful because this little guy will complete our family and I’m so glad I am enjoying it. I will say I am cherishing every moment of carrying him though. It’s weird to think I probably won’t carry another baby again. ok let’s stop before the tears start. 


I hope you all have an amazing weekend. What are your confessing?

He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉

Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙
