Cheers to Friday! How was your week? It was a typical week here, although Mike and I are trying to find a little bit of a better balance with our days. It’s funny – I feel like when you’re pregnant, all you think about is the little baby that you’re having and the immediate changes, but there isn’t a whole lot of thought into how everything else will be different forever. Parenthood, especially new parenthood, is just a continuous journey of finding your rhythm and adjusting and re-adjusting. But gosh, it’s so fun. Liam is at a really enjoyable age right now – moving around, discovering everything, and still sweet as ever!
Are you watching the Super Bowl this weekend? We’re not a huge football family, but I’m sure Mike will have it on. I feel like the commercials have kind of gone downhill the last couple years, so I don’t even have those to look forward to. I am all in for snacks, though! My ideal meal is just a sampling of a few different things. Sometimes my sister and I will just split apps, if we’re out to eat, and it’s my favorite! So, I’m planning to make a few things for us to enjoy on Sunday. This spinach artichoke dip and sheet pan quesadillas are calling my name!
Here’s a review of some things from this week:

Yes.. Super Bowl is all about the apps and adult beverage for me and sometimes the halftime show mini concert lol.. but I love the laid back vibe and Hubby and son bonding time watching it together whooting and hollering: ). My son is 22 now.. my one and only. Love seeing you and your sister with your kids. Beautiful family! Liam is at such a great age. I love seeing their personalities develop and being able to interact with them at the different ages/stages. Nothing is more challenging and rewarding looking back and the time really does go by way too fast!
Thanks, Kathy! I look forward to the days of witnessing father-son bonding like that ๐
Listing your active codes here is so helpful! Thanks for sharing ๐ I’m with you, too – snacks and apps are my fav.
I’m glad it’s helpful!
There was also a link to the striped layering shirt you wear under the quilted sweatshirt fromTarget. Itโs on Amazon. It says the striped one is navy stripes. Is yours navy and you just canโt tell? (Sorry, you might have said but I often watch my stories on silent while Iโm nursing. ๐)
Yes, that’s correct! It’s a very dark navy, so I wear it with black.
Awesome! Thank you for your response! ๐
Do you use eqilibria? How do you like it?
I do! I started about a month ago and am impressed with the results, so far. I was suuuuper skeptical and went into it pretty close-minded, but I’ve noticed a difference!
