Our big news!
Sorry I have been AWOL. Life here has been a bit hectic and we are trying out some new daily schedules and all that fun stuff so I've been a bit busy!
So what's been going on in the last month you ask?!
Well, our big news is that we found out that baby #2 is a girl! We are due to welcome Leanne Marie around February 19! We are very excited!
So we are in full swing of operation big girl room for Lucy. We don't have furniture for her yet but we have been scoping out prices and trying to figure out what we like.
Our big debate as of right now is: to paint or not to paint. Seriously- which really is centered around the question of do we want 3 kids possibly all girls?
We haven't decided yet and probably won't after Leanne arrives. But we have three bedrooms and if we paint a girly color then have a boy there's more painting... I figure we can always paint later depending on all the answers to our questions!
Reality hit me Sunday, my little munchkin will be two in less than a month now! Hello party planning/freak out mode! I'm currently wanting to do an outside cowgirl themed party but the way it's cooled off I'm not sure if it would be too cool or not in early November!
Reality also decided to pull a double whammy on me and remind me that my little girl will soon need some preschool prepping. (debate is still out on if we will send her to pre-k...)
So all you pre-preschool moms what are you doing/have you done to prep your littles?
I've got some fun things in mind but I'd love your creative suggestions!!
And I will leave you with a picture of my 20 week bump! I'll be back with fun moments from our trip to the pumpkin patch soon!

Question of the day and other random thoughts...
Question of the day: how soon is it okay to bring out cute fall stuff? I'm itching to bust out those beautiful red, orange and yellow hues!
It's September now, so it's cool right? Or am I supposed to wait for the it's officially fall?
Ps I need to remind Tyler to bring me home a 4x4 post so I can make this in all of its fall adorableness.
Thank you pinterest!

Christmas in August?!
Okay it's confession time!
I have been bitten by the fall/winter bug! I am so ready for all the fun stuff, carving pumpkins, keeping the windows open, eating Carmel apples, Lucy's 2nd birthday, thanksgiving, allllll things Christmas!, and of course february will bring with it the arrival of baby #2!!
I'm so excited to experience the holidays with little ones all over again, I feel like it brings the mystery and joy back that you can begin missing as you get older.
I'm planning to order Elf on the shelf and begin expanding our Christmas traditions with an activity advent calendar, as well as a fun fall bucket list!
Yesterday I got caught up looking through Lucy's first birthday pictures and I started getting so excited to plan her 2nd birthday! I'm hoping to have perfectly beautiful fall weather so we can have a fun campfire to go with the cowgirl theme I've been dreaming of!
Don't these fall/winter things have you going summer stir crazy?!?

Alone Time... What's that?!
Ah. I have almost forgotten what alone time feels like! Sad, I know! But anyway Tyler is out hanging up deer stands and Lucy is at nana's so I'm taking a short break. I've been going through my closets and trying to get things picked up as well as revisiting the abyss...progress is being made!!
Anyway. I'm going through my closets because after I had Lucy it took me a long time to get back in shape. I hadnt really realized how big I was and had gotten. When in college I weighed between 135-145 depending on the year. After Lucy I was almost 155. I did biggest loser with some girls I used to work with at lost 23 lbs and an now down to 128 being 14weeks pregnant. So, I have a lot if clothes that just don't fit...not to mention my body shape changed completely and none of my old pants fit at all. I can't even wear my old maternity clothes. They are huge! Which is both exciting and depressing at the same time!
So far I've boxed up my too big maternity pants to set aside for as I get bigger and maybe I will wear then maybe not.
I have also gone through and gathered up 2-3 garbage bags of stuff I just don't wear now. That I've grown to small for(even when pregnant!) I'm going to be donating them soon.
My other goals for today are to conquer cleaning out my craft stuff and moving over the book shelf to the under the stairs closet. Where in going to have our library of sorts. (my nerds side wants to put a sign on the door declaring it the department of mysteries... Yes I love me some harry potter!)
I also want to paint that door with chalk board paint but alas that has to wait since I'm preggers unless I can rope my best friend into doing it... Which is very possible!
Anyway I better get back to organizing and cleaning and sorting! The best friend is visiting this week and shes going to need a bed to sleep in, haha!
Did you do any fun projects this weekend?!

Mommy successes!
Eureka! Apparently the best way to get Lucy to stop wanting a pacifier is to tell her that we left them in Hawaii where we went on vacation. One entire day so far of no paci!!! That includes one nap and one entire night of sleep!
And look! My wild haired child is still happy!
(and ornery but, that's normal!!)

Organizing Shame
Ugh. I love having things organized however the actual process of organizing is the annoying part.
Ok now, here comes my confession time... Since I quit my job I had basically brought everything home and shoved it in our spare bedroom... Well that spare room will soon be used for welcoming home baby #2...
So for mothers day I begged Tyler instead of getting me a gift to put in new beautiful shelving in my laundry area so I could have a place to store crafts... Well he did but I never got my craft stuff up there yet... (thank you morning sickness and 1st trimester exhaustion for this delay!) So my current craft room/book storage room is in desperate need of an overhaul...or well actually just a mass exodus of all the stuff would be great... And to top it off since we are having company next week I need the room back from the abyss that it is becoming...
Hello project week...
So to further add to my embarrassment...uh... I mean motivation here is a picture of the soon to be nursery/current abyss...
So yeah if you don't see an update anytime soon you can blame it on the fact that I've been sucked into the abyss...
