I'm still here..

just been a little MIA this week. I was actually going to sit down last night and type this post, but I just didn't have the energy. I did a lot yesterday and that includes tending to a sick little boy. I have to say though it hasn't been all too bad. He wants some extra attention and I don't seem to have any problem giving it to him. I think his little body's been trying to fight off something the past 24 hours, because he keeps getting a low grade fever on and off. Nothing else really except that you can tell he's not his normal self, which saddens me. Today he woke up with no fever, slept through the night and looks a whole lot better than yesterday, so my fingers are crossed he won the battle.

In other news here's a quick recap of our week.. Tuesday was the premiere of Ink Master.. something I would normally not watch, but because my cousin is a contestant I am glued to the TV. Tuesday was also his mom's (my aunt's) birthday, so we had a double party going on, which was loads of fun to watch while getting the "inside" scoop. He made quite the impression on the first episode and I was really proud of him. His name is Jeremy Miller for those that are curious, and for those that might be even more curious I have zero tattoos, not that I have anything against them.

We soaked up the afternoons with outside playtime. Both kids love to be outside and the weather this week hasn't been all too bad. It's in the 70's, which is a little hotter than I would like for January, but hey whatever. Jacob has gotten so good at riding his big boy bike too!

Allow me to share with you my latest obsession.. Sally Hensen nail polish strips. They are super easy, look cute and last for a very long time. Here's the first set I did last week and because I'm a freak of nature, when I find something I like I buy a lot of it, crazy I know, I've already boughten two more sets that I want to try next. Have you tried em'? Did you like em'? I thought the minute I put them on they were only going to last me about 2 days, but boy was I wrong.. I can't seem to get them off!

These next two are called blue ice and love letter.. I think the love letter will be perfect for February! ;)

Yesterday I woke up feeling all fresh faced and ready to tackle my day, which is rare, so it was one of those moments were I didn't waste anytime. I jumped out of bed and got to cracking. I started with my kitchen drawers. I don't know what it is, but it seems that everything and anything ends up in my kitchen drawers. Does anyone else have this problem? I have one drawer designated to the kids coloring books and colors, but it too is getting a little out of hand. So I called in a container, it's my go to for getting anything organized. LOL. Although with as many broken crayons we have, we should have a melting party! Just not so sure that would solve my problem, because I could see them breaking those too! Ugh!

After the cleaning of drawers, starting the laundry, dusting and vacumming, it was time to whip out this bad boy. I think I posted something in the past about my Shark breaking on me, but because it was over 4 months they wouldn't let me exchange it. Well, try telling someone like my mom that, yeah right. She said let me handle it and bam she comes over with this.. an even better one than I had. Dang, go mom!

It was right at noon when I finished my cleaning spree, so it was time to get the kids lunch and run a few quick errands. Jacob wasn't feeling so hot and with the whole fever up and down thing I didn't want him playing. I figured eating outside would be a distraction and it was... a quick bite at Chick-fil-a and we were off.

I made a stop at home goods to stock up on some of my favorites.. I have a thing for their almond room spray. It smells so good and pretty inexpensive.

Hobby Lobby has frames 50% off this week, so I made a stop by there as well. I've been needing some frames to replace my old ones for a while now, so I decided on these. I didn't have any updated pictures on hand, so I just used what I had for now. And after seeing those sweet baby cheeks again, they are going to be tough to replace. Wasn't he just the cutest baby ever?!? {baby fever}

We ended our Friday afternoon adventures with some yummy goodness.. frozen yogurt from tutti frutti. I had the nutella, which was yummy and pomegranate raspberry topped with crushed reeses peanut butter cups. I totally don't go there and try to be healthy in case you're wondering. ;)

We had a low key evening because Jacob wasn't feeling all too well.. daddy snuck off to a cook off with some buddies while I snuggled up with little man and crashed pretty darn early. I think my body needed it because today I woke up feeling like a million bucks. ha! I am hoping to get a few things more done around the house today and pay a visit to the floor store. I think it's high time I start trying to get this house fully decorated. I've been moving at turtle speed, but I do have hopes of crossing that finish line!

Happy Saturday!
