The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

confessions, finally friday · September 23, 2016

Finally Friday!

Friday, my favorite day of the week as you all know by now. I am 29 weeks today, and am starting to feel Mr. Carson kick all day long. The boy is just like his brother just way lower. I’m kinda in disbelief that we have 11 weeks left. Could be less though–or more, GAH! I got some more awesome goodies in the mail this week, and soon enough I will get to share them all with you. Without further ado, here are my confessions. 

I confess I had this awesome opportunity last night to go to a private opening event for Hanna Andersson. I contribute over at The Mommy Spot, which is an awesome mom group for moms in the Tampa area–and she had a ticket plus one so we made a little girls night out of it. I picked up some goodies, got some free PJ’s, and my friend won a $50 gift card as she was checking out. I am excited to go back and do some more shopping!

I confess that September flew by and October will be even faster which puts us to November where we will be on waiting for Baby Carson alert. I have some fun stuff planned in October that includes two weddings, my baby sprinkle, two trips to Disney, and a Women’s conference–Belong. I’m so excited for this sweet babe to grace us with his presence, and to be safe from Zika. 

I confess I had a lovely baby book sent to me–and I’m telling you it is plain gorgeous. The pages are that thick paper that isn’t going to tear when you turn the page. It also has spots for you to write some stuff pre-pregnancy. I am going to be sharing more soon about the book, but trust me Sticky Bellies made a fabulous product. 

I confess I am pretty excited about girls night tomorrow–I’m trying this new Mexican restaurant. The only downside? No margaritas. But brewing a baby is way better. 

I confess I bought Beauty and the Beast, but left out that the word Beauty is in the title so that Bennett didn’t turn the movie down. Ha! I told him it was about a beast, a horse, some wolves, and an invention. Stretch the truth some guys. He loved it!

Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). 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. 💙

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
How are you celebrating National Book Lovers Day? How are you celebrating National Book Lovers Day? Picking books out at the library each week is my favorite part of the week when homeschooling my boys! We go through a list of books that our just right for their reading level, and put them on hold at the library. When they are ready we drive thru and pick them up. The best part? We can look at all the books we read at the end of the school year, and use that as part of our portfolio. Do you utilize your library? How do you pick out your books?

What supplements do you take? You’ve got all the What supplements do you take? You’ve got all the care routines down—but what about adding in your supplements? We’ve use @firstdaylife for the boys for a few months now, and I recently purchased the supplements for myself. I’m loving both of them! I take them each morning with my skin care routine—which helps prepare my body for a great day. 👏As a busy mom of three, I need to take care of myself as well and this is one way I do it! We start the homeschool year tomorrow, and I’m excited to get all of my daily routines in order and be prepared for the day!
