Five on Friday

This has been quite the week, so here are my random thoughts and all I have to say is TGIF!!!

1. I cleaned out my email inbox and finally decided to unsubscribe from the dozens of useless emails I get on a daily basis! Anyone else have an inbox that looked like this?

2. I made the decision to close three store credit cards. I’ve had them for a really long time, and I’m a little nervous that it might negatively affect my credit, but I just don’t need the temptation! I really don’t need to be using credit cards for anything.

3. Each week, I’ve been making little purchases for Gracie’s birthday party. I’m trying not to go overboard, but my gosh there are just so many cute things out there!!

Can you stand the cuteness?? Source

 

4. Two episodes in,  and I’m hooked on the new season of Southern Charm. Bravo really knows how to reel you in! I’m pretty much obsessed with the South and would die to live in SC! Although what is it with their names? Whitney is a boy and Landon is a girl – throws me off a little bit! Haha!

5.Here’s my “mom story” of the week!  I’ve been fighting the tail end of this sinus infection, and last night all I wanted was to go to sleep. I gave Gracie an early dinner and bath and then off to bed she went. I had a quick dinner and took a shower. I was still in the bathroom when I heard her crying. Then I hear her full pitched SCREAM. I run in (still in a robe with soaking wet hair) and pick her up and she instantly projectile vomits – all over the floor, herself and of course, me. I’m trying to clean her up and calm her down, while Keith tries to clean up the carpet and keep Gunner from eating baby puke. Yuck. Finally, she’s settled and asleep – and I realize that I have puke in my hair. And the toilet is clogged because Keith threw all the paper towels in the toilet. So I did what any other mama would do – washed my hair again and poured myself a drink. And watched another episode of Southern Charm. Sleep is overrated right?!

Happy Friday friends!!

How to Treat a Sinus Infection Naturally

Sinus Infection Cure

On Thursday, I started feeling like I was coming down with something. My head felt like mush and I was beyond, beyond exhausted. I knew I was getting sick – but seriously, I don’t have time to be sick!

OnGuard and Breathe are too of my favorites essential oils– I immediately started using Breathe on my chest to help break up the congestion and OnGuard on the soles of my feet to help boost my immunity.

I started drinking hot water with Lemon and OnGuard and it was not only yummy, but instantly cleared my head and helped me think straight again!

Just add hot water!!

Four days later, and I’m good as new — I am so glad that I discovered essential oils – they have made such a big difference in our lives!

Gracie’s First Easter Basket

I remember last year when I was pregnant with Gracie, I thought for sure that she was going to be born before Easter. Easter was late, on April 19, and I couldn’t imagine still being pregnant. So I did what any other normal pregnant woman does – went out and bought her a Newborn Easter outfit and basket!

Sadly, April 19 came and went – with me still very much pregnant – and so I returned the adorable newborn dress. That makes Easter this year, Gracie’s very last first holiday.

In typical female fashion, she owns several Easter dresses of which I cannot decide what she will wear. You never know with the weather around here – we could have snow, or 70 degrees. But hey, at least she is prepared :)

I had a lot of fun picking out items for her Easter basket, and I kept it pretty simple since I doubt she will really understand the concept this year :)

I chose a personalized basket from Pottery Barn Kids. I then added a bathing suit, headband, pacifiers, a stuffed bunny, a sippy cup and some snacks. I really wanted to get her the Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere chair, but I think I will wait until her birthday for that!
