Yay Friday!

/ LeopardandGrace

This week has been a long one. The time change has totally thrown us and our schedules have been feeling way off. But here’s to Friday and a fun weekend ahead!

1. Even though we are settled in our house (for now), every now and then I like to look at houses on www.trulia.com and daydream. Last night I found this beauty … and at $899,900 it is most definitely a dream!

Isn’t she pretty?

2. I am in desperate need of something (art, photos, anything) to hang on one empty wall in our new living room. Where do you get artwork? I would love something one-of-a-kind, but without the price tag :) Would love to hear your suggestions!

3. Yesterday Keith’s promotion to Senior Product Manager was announced to his team! We had known for about a month that it was in the works, but it being made official was the best news! Keith works his butt off and kicks ass every day. He’s such a hard worker, and is so driven and dedicated. I’m immensely proud of him :) I can’t wait to go to dinner tonight to celebrate!

4. I’m debating on what to get Gracie for her first birthday! I was thinking a Pottery Barn Anywhere Chair or maybe something for the yard for summer – a playset or water table? Mamas with babies – any ideas??

5. The snow is finally starting to melt, the days are getting longer and I wore flats and NO coat for the first time in 2015! Even Gracie is loving the new weather – she spends all her time in front of our door :)

Five on Friday

/ LeopardandGrace

Yay for Friday! What a busy week it has been!

Linking up for Five on Friday!

1. Gracie turns ten months on Sunday, and we are already beginning to plan her birthday party! May is a very busy time of year – the hall we are having her party at was almost completely booked up by January; and the baker said she has very few spots left for May as well! I also ordered her this onesie set to wear at her one-year photo shoot.

2. I am so excited to be able to say that Gracie is finally sleeping through the night! I think the combination of sleep training and her chiropractic adjustments did the trick. She now sleeps from 7:30pm-6:00am. Hallelujah.

3. Keith and I have never had a true bedroom “set” – we just have furniture that we’ve mixed and matched. We finally ordered a headboard and it was delivered this week and I love it! It’s huge, and comfy and looks awesome in our room. Our room has been one of the last in our house to be decorated, but it’s coming together nicely!

4. I’m lusting over a new pair of Kendra Scott earrings. I’m thinking about hitting the “Purchase” button on these beauties:

5. I really want to upgrade to the iPhone 6 but I hate the way AT&T structures their plans and upgrades now!! We would consider changing carriers but AT&T and Verizon gets the best reception in our town. So now if I want a new phone, I have to suck it up and pay $22/month more for the phone for the next 30 months. Ugh. What would you do?

Whew what a weekend!! I can happily say that this was the first weekend in 2015 that we did not get snow – yay!

Saturday morning, Gracie and I had a date with her playgroup. I love that we found this group! It’s so nice to spend time with other moms and babies that Gracie is going to grow up with :)

Saturday night Keith and I attended a wedding for one of his co-workers. The event was at an art center downtown Boston and was unbelievably gorgeous! It was a wonderful night out and the groom even serenaded his bride – it was a beautiful evening!

My dress(es) from Rent the Runway arrived Friday night!

We attempted to sleep in on Sunday morning as we were a wee bit hungover, but Gracie has decided that 6am is the new time that she wants to get up every morning. *face palm* We put on Doc McStuffins and Little Einstein’s and around 7:30, she fell asleep on my chest and we all got to sleep for another hour :)

This is her 6am face!

We were asked by the Deacon at our church to serve on the panel at this year’s pre-cana class. We loved our pre-cana class and met some wonderful couples in our church. We feel so blessed and honored to have been asked! Sunday afternoon was the first meeting with the rest of the panel and we got to bring Gracie to the meeting. We are really looking forward to participating in this!

I started taking Monday’s off so I now have a three day weekend, EVERY weekend! Up on today’s agenda is a chiropractor appointment for Grace, a Target run and then a whole lot of nothing – just some fun snuggle time with my Nugget!

I hope you had a great weekend, and Happy Monday!
