I hope you all had a less eventful weekend than me. We were all set to have a fun filled family weekend with just our little party of 3 (plus 2 pups) and then Jon came home with a stomach ache Friday night. That turned into a pain that just wasn’t going away and at 3 am we ended up here:
Yup that’s the emergency room at our local hospital. Someone was not happy that I whipped out my camera to snap a picture for my weekend recap. Sorry love!
Turns out that stomach ache was actually his appendix and luckily it hadn’t burst yet, but it needed to be removed.
We waited around for hours while an OR opened up.
Finally at 5:15 pm on Saturday Jon got his appendix removed and then Sunday at 11 am we were on our way home. Poor guy, but he is a trooper and he is resting now and doing well.
In honor of Jon’s little sick day I decided to gather up some of my favorite sick day essentials so that this post just isn’t filled with Jon’s mad face and legs. 🙂
No. 1: In order to get some shut eye while you are at home or in the hospital an eye mask is always helpful. How could you feel sick channeling Audrey Hepburn. Who needs pants when you can rock a polka dot shirt PJ top instead?
No. 2: Keep all of your prescriptions in this chic pill holder and shallow them down with water from this cheeky water carafe.
No.3: Rest up and watch your favorite movie. One of my go to favorites has to be Mermaids.I love Mrs. Flax and her polka dot dresses, cooky meals and the fab music video at the end.
No. 4: Curl up with this stylish throw and snuggle with your favorite person or pet.
No. 5: If you have to walk around do it in style with these bowtiful slippers.
No. 6: Make sure your favorite nurse leaves you a tray filled with some fresh blooms and scented candles to bring the outdoors inside.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
Ok. So I love your sick day essentials but poor Jon!!! I hope he is in full recover mode. Did you get him to wear your suggested sleep mask?? 🙂
omg poor Jon! I hope he gets better fast, surgery is no fun!
Poor Jon!
But Mermaids! OMG, best sick day movie EVER!

Haha his expression says it all! I had appendicitis in college, and it was truly worse than childbirth. Or so I remember…

That sounds awful! I hope he recovers quickly.
