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

Finally Friday!


It’s finally Friday, and if you’ve been following along on my Instagram and Instastories you can see that we had a crazy week. I kinda can’t believe that the days are flying by, and that in 8 short weeks are little Carson will be here. I got a little done today, and have this goal of getting all Christmas shopping done and tree up by November 1st. I want everything wrapped and ready to go, I want to enjoy my December and not be running around like a mad woman, even if that means putting up the tree way before I usually like to have it up. This is just the beginning of my confessions–



I confess I love the monthly boxes that are all the rage right now. They are so much fun, and there is a box for everyone. Recently, I received a box from Pampered Mommy. With a busy life of a mommy, we all deserve to be pampered every once in a while. While we often get wrapped up in life stuff, Pampered Mommy takes care of the pampering by sending you a box of 5-7 items that were picked out just for you. In every box, you can expect a variety of bath and beauty mommy gift to arrive at your door and arrive mid month. Seriously, if you are looking for a box devoted just for moms this is a great one–think baby shower gifts!

I confess this mama is tired. It has been a long time since Bennett has been sick, and I will tell you I did not miss it. I have lost sleep at night because he will wake up coughing and coughing. We ended up going to the doctor on Monday night because he spiked a 103.7 temp–and this mama knew it had to be strep. Oh, did I mention I called the wrong office and showed up at the wrong office. The doctor was such a nice man and saw us even though they were closed and nurses were going home. It was 9PM. 
I confess that I am loving the updates on our house and being only a half-mile away from all the action. Trusses come this weekend, which will be an awesome next step. We then will go on to shingles, windows, and siding. 

I confess I have a baby sprinkle coming up next weekend, and I am pretty excited about it. I’ve registered for a few simple things–think pacis, bottle nipples, etc. I am really just excited to get everyone together, I love fall parties to celebrate anything. 


Weeks: 32 Weeks.

Official Due Date: December 9th. 


Trimester: Third, almost there!

Gender: Sweet bundle of boy joy.

Name: Carson Lee

Baby’s Size: We actually haven’t had a sono since week 20, but if we predict how much he is weighing based on that we are around 4.5 lbs. That’s honestly a pure guess, but that’s what Bennett weight around this time as well. 

Cravings: I really don’t have any crazy cravings. I do love ice cream, candy, and everything that is terribly not good for me–and makes me put on the weight. 

How I’m Feeling: Large. I keep waiting for this baby to be high up, and he is currently still really low. I feel feet in my hips, instead of my ribs which is crazy weird to me. It’s kind of difficult to bend over, but I have way more energy then when I was pregnant with Bennett. We actually went on a walk earlier this week when it was super nice out, it was nice to get out and walk–but ya’ll I was sore the rest of the day. The struggle. 
Movement: Definitely mornings are his favorite. Bennett loved evenings–so it’s kind of a lot to get him to be active so hubs can feel him kick at night. Yesterday, Bennett got to feel him kick and it was such a special moment. He was definitely surprised.

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!
