Christmas in February

Simon is on v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n, baby.

{tangent ... I've had angry wakers and happy wakers and she falls in the latter category for now; it's glorious and I hope it lasts FOREVER ... end tangent}

Anyway, it's his first since August so we are all hearting life and really living it up in serious basement clean-out mode which includes debating the merits of keeping vs. donating the bread box we haven't used in four years (you know where I stand).

And did I mention living it up?

Well, WE ARE.

Were you lost without my links on Friday? I knew it. I'll try to salvage the day right here, right now. 

I went ahead and bit this bullet! I can smell your baited breath already. I'll keep you posted.

I'll be doing a little speaking stint here in March and I'm super excited. It's my first and if you'll be in attendance ... please have your expectations as low as they can possible go, please AND thank you very kindly.

And this week on The Days of Our Bachelor ... I think my new favorite is Carly (her brother, a finalist on Desiree's season writes surprisingly insightful recaps here! go!) but don't forget about the classics and my personal favorites ... Ashley and Sharleen. Also, on that note - I'm loving this book way more than I thought I would.

Here's my new favorite pair of maternity jeans (yeah, yeah - let's not talk about how early I toe-dove into the panel-laden denim ... it's not good for um, the baby) even though the model looks like she's wearing capri leggings and ready to go running - she's not doing them the correct justice. I promise.

I don't take the heart eye emoji lightly but these get multiple heart eyes. Quadruple, probably. I'm in a generous mood.

I was so glad that Fran typed out her reading list so that I don't have to (sort of) sheepishly text-hound her for book suggestions every other week. I'm also giving this genius new service a trial run because I got irrationally impatient waiting for certain titles from the library. Mature Forever - my mantra. 

I'm a big fan of this blog post I saw floating around Facebook and recently discovered this gem of a gram account and am unhealthily hooked.

Is that enough? Too much. Always too much from me. 

I'll be back tomorrow with more words and some photos. Grace overload forever and ever. C'est la most difficult life you lead.

Have a nice rest of your day ...

... we guess.
