This weekend we had fun plans for a dinner out to celebrate my mom’s birthday and take advantage of restaurant week! Of course when one makes plans something always happens and Hudson came down with a cold/flu and was sick for most of the weekend. So going out plans turned into everyone coming to my house for dinner so that Hudson could celebrate with Grandma, but stay in his PJ’s.
Saturday morning I went for a weekly weigh in at WW solo since the birthday girl decided she wanted a lazy morning in bed instead of getting weighed. I reached my goal weight so a little celebration with Halloween candy was in order!
After a quick trip to the supermarket I made some yummy meatballs and sauce for my mom’s birthday dinner that night!
With meatballs done so early we had a little time to oh and ah at Asher will he practiced his latest trick before shower time.
Asher also rocked his first mohawk courtesy of his Dadddy.

Hudson had been sick since Thursday and by Saturday evening his fever had been gone since early in the morning, which was great. He loves birthday parties and had fun putting the candles on the cake with his Aunt Ximena. His type A momma was having a hard time dealing with him shoving all the candles in one place, but he had so much fun that I couldn’t fix a single one.
Hudson thinks it’s his job to blow out the candles during any birthday celebration. We were at a little kids party last weekend and the birthday wasn’t into the birthday singing and candle blowing out and started to cry. Don’t fret! Hudson ran out to try and “help” blow out the candles. He he he.
On Sunday we had lots of projects to tackle at home so in between doing laundry, blowing out the sprinklers, removing the AC’s from all of the windows and getting some design work done we enjoyed coloring on a massive roll of kraft paper we picked up at Home Depot.
I also took a million and one photos of Asher, because I can’t handle his cuteness.
Hudson hates getting his photo lately, which is really sad and I hope he gets over it soon. I did manage to snap a photo of him being super sweet with his brother without him realizing. 🙂
Before we wrapped up for the day I even managed to squeeze in a photo shoot for the blog!
congratulations on reaching your goal weight! I lost 50 pounds in the last 12 months so I know how hard it is. I also had my hubby install the USB port outlet in my kitchen and love it. Thanks for the idea. Laura C
Thanks Laura! My least favorite part of pregnancy is having to lose all of the weight afterwards, but it doesn’t fall off me like so many other mom’s say it does. Happy to be back to my normal. Wasn’t installing the outlet so easy? I want one in the den now and my office!

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.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
