What I'm Loving Wednesday

I feel like I JUST wrote my WILW post for last week, where is the time going?! I need it to SLOW DOWN! So much to do! As always, I'm linking up with Jamie at This Kind of Love!

Here's what I'm loving this week...

{One}

The Hubster

He's going to be the BEST daddy! He was so cute installing the car seat this weekend :-) I just love him.

{Two}

These little stinkers

They have been too funny lately. They just can't figure out why I've been outside so much! Yesterday they were really sweet and played with one of our neighbors (who is two and LOVED their attention!)

{Three}

Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint

Thrift store candlesticks + oil rubbed bronze spray paint = HUGE TRANSFORMATION! Sorry for no "after" picture yet...but they haven't found a home yet ;-) As soon as they do I'll blog about this project a little more!

Our Weekend Plans

VIA

The Hubster and I, along with some friends, are going to an apple orchard this weekend! We're supposed to FINALLY have some fall weather so we're celebrating by going apple picking! Now what will I make with our fresh apples?!

{Five}

My Scentsy Giveaway!

If you haven't entered...you should! Enter HERE!

I hope y'all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday! I hope to finish up working on Emma Claire's dresser today, but the weather might not cooperate :-( I just have a few more projects for her room and then it will be time to put it all together for the big reveal! I hope you've enjoyed the little sneak peeks you've gotten along the way!

What are you loving today?

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!!! I feel like this last week has flown by and this one is going just as fast!!! I think it's because I've been so busy getting the house in order! Don't forget to link up with Jamie at This Kind of Love and share what YOU'RE loving today!

Today I'm loving...

{One}

My Followers

I am almost to 100 followers!!! WOW! And I'm past 50,000 views!

I honestly LOVE getting each and every comment from you guys! It just makes my day, you really have no idea! Anyways, having said that...I have always wanted to do a giveaway but just haven't ever thought of anything worthy of a giveaway. So does anyone have any giveaway ideas?! I think they're so fun and I would LOVE to do one, I just can't think of what to do!

{Two}

Dixie and Gracie

Even when they DESTROY the living room ;-) To be fair I let them rip up the cardboard part of the paper towel! They were just too funny while they were playing with it.

{Three}

My new Bath and Body Works Candle

It smells SO GOOD! And right now it's buy 2 for $20! A great deal!

{Four}

A Wedding Story's Essie Giveaway!

 Elizabeth, over at A Wedding Story, is having a GREAT giveaway! You should go check it out!!! :-) Not to mention that I LOVE her blog and you should go visit her anyways!  

{Five}

Hottie Hubs

I mean come on...how cute is this?! There pretty much isn't anything cuter (to me at least) than a soon to be Daddy putting together a crib. Other than a Daddy holding the ACTUAL baby ;-)  

{Six}

Fall decorations

Just a little sneak peek at my fall wreath I made! ;-) I'll do a post about all of my fall decor soon!

{Seven}

Pregnancy Hormones and Prenatal Vitamins

Because they make my hair do THIS! I think this is the thickest my hair has ever been! Not that I had thin hair to begin with, but I just have more of it now! However, I have heard that once baby shows up it's likely to start falling out, EEK! So I'm trying to enjoy this while it lasts. Sadly it's in a ponytail most days and doesn't get all dolled up that often ;-) HA!

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's Wednesday! Which means we're halfway through the week! Which for me means that the Hubster is halfway done with his first week back at work! YAY! :-) I haven't linked up with Jamie over at This Kind of Love in a while, go join the party!!!

This week I'm loving...

{One}

My Handsome Hubster :-)

hehe...this was taken on his first afternoon home...he was EXHAUSTED! Don't be fooled by this though...just a short time later he was out in the backyard doing this...

He's such a hard worker!

{Two}

My furry companions

These two literally follow me EVERYWHERE. Not that I mind, it's nice having "someone" around when I'm puttering around our house cleaning and doing other chores :-) They always wait at the top of the stairs for me...they get there a little quicker than I do these days! It's like they're saying, "Come on...hurry up!"

{Three}

That a "FALL FRONT" is coming!!!

{Four}

That Emma Claire's nursery is PAINTED!

Such a good Daddy!

{Five}

That the Hubster and I got to go into the city this weekend!

We went into Chinatown and met up with some friends! We had such a good time and I totally failed and forgot my camera so this is the only picture I took! :-( But we ate at a great little pizza place and I had so much fun getting to meet his friends and their wives/girlfriends!

{Six}

My little Munchkin, and her apparent flexibility...

Seriously I think my stomach has turned into a gymnasium! Look at this!!! I took this picture looking straight down at my stomach...I wish I could see what the heck she's doing!!! I've been told she's running out of room, but I think somebody should tell HER that!

Happy Wednesday!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's Wednesday! Hooray! Each day now is a day closer to moving into the new house AND seeing the Hubster! I'll also be seeing my in-laws soon when they come to visit our new house and help with getting settled! As always, link up with Jamie over at This Kind of Love to join!

{One}

Only 23 days until I see this handsome fella...

{Two}

My AMAZING parents!

My dad practically re-built a dresser for me! He worked SO HARD in the heat! What a great Dad :-)

My Mom has been SUCH a big help too! She has worked non-stop on different nursery projects with me. She stripped and sanded the dresser for the nursery, re-covered the pads for the rocking chair, and on top of all of this she's getting her house ready for my baby shower this weekend! I really do have the best parents in the world! Thank you Mom and Dad for all you've done to help me!

{Three}

Spending time with my best friend :-)

Rachel and I have been best friends since Kindergarten. We have stayed friends all through our childhood and I am so lucky to have her! She went to college in North Carolina but we've stayed close throughout the years! Since graduating she will be moving back to North Carolina for work. BUT the good news is that she's only 7 hours away from me now! (Once I move to Virginia!) That's the closest we've been since going away to college!!! I've loved getting to go shopping with her while we're both at home in Texas AND she spent three days with me in Waco organizing, cleaning, and getting ready for the movers to come! Seriously, what a great friend!!!

Getting things ready for Emma Claire

My Mom and I found this bassinet at a garage sale for only $10! It is literally brand new, I think it was used a few times! We've already taken all of the fabric off and washed it and deep cleaned the plastic parts. It's SO CUTE! It has white and beige toile fabric and is just so sweet!

{Six}

Ordering Emma Claire's bedding

I just LOVE her bedding! It's petite paisley from Pottery Barn Kids! I can't wait for it to get here!!!

Addition: I'm also LOVING all of the amazing comments on wall colors! (Read original nursery post HERE) Seriously you guys are the best! I think I'm going to go with the soft/pale aqua blue! So, not the blue in the bumper but the muted blue! I think it's going to bring out the other colors in the bumper and really make it pop! Again, thank you to everyone who gave me their advice!!! :-)

{Seven}

Organizing and Pinterest

I feel like I can't do a What I'm Loving post without including Pinterest! I've gotten SO MANY great ideas from Pinterest, I'm addicted! I also have been organizing a LOT lately and am currently working on our family binder!!! You can read about that HERE!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's that time again...WEDNESDAY! I love Wednesday's because it's the middle of the week, and I only have 2 more nights until the Hubster gets home! Well...to his parents home :-) Which is where I'm at now! I'm linking up to Jamie over at This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Today I'm loving....

{One}

The Hubster

He's just too cute :-) I am so proud of him and everything he is working towards right now! I couldn't have married a better man! I'm so lucky!

{Two}

Cap'n Crunch Chicken!

The in-laws and I made this last night for dinner. I hadn't had it before, but it's SO GOOD!!! We're making it again on Friday night for the Hubster! :-)

{Three}

Shopping for Emma Claire!

Today my mother-in-law and I went to the cutest little children's boutique downtown. We got the CUTEST little outfits....look for a post on this soon!!!

{Four}

Boiled Peanuts

It wouldn't be a What I'm Loving post without some sort of southern food :-) We made some fresh boiled peanuts last night, they sure are yummy!

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's WEDNESDAY! Which means it's time to link up with Jamie at This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday! :-)

My Handsome Hubster

This REALLY cute picture of the Hubster as a youngin'

I have already said that we are in BIG trouble if our little girl looks anything like her daddy....pretty blue eyes (which are a given since mine are blue too!) blond hair and adorable little face! How can you resist that! Combine that with THIS...and we're in a real heap of trouble...

I was quite the wild child...always a ball of energy I never slowed down! I can't wait to see what Miss Emma Claire will be like :-)

Mountain Sunsets

{Four}
The Fur-Babies

While Daddy is away at training and Mommy is off traveling, the little furry ones are having the time of their lives at Grammy and Grandpa's! They are in HEAVEN right now, they love staying at my parents house! They have a big backyard, a pool, lots of treats, and two other big dogs to play with! :-) Thanks Grammy and Grandpa for keeping them! I miss them like crazy though and can't wait to be done with traveling so I can see them again!

{Five}

Being Five and a HALF months pregnant! :-)

Jude Deveraux's Wild Orchids

This is the latest book I've been reading! It's SO GOOD! I am already halfway through and I started yesterday! :-)

{Seven}
House Hunting

Ha! I couldn't resist this cute cartoon!!! I am finally in contact with a great realtor and will be traveling to the DC area in the next few weeks to actually house hunt! I have always loved looking at houses and I used to pretend to be my parents realtor when I was younger! ha! :-) I'm nervous to actually start the process of finding a place for us to live...my newest saying, "while the Hubster is away the wife must find a place for us to stay!" I have some wonderful family and friends supporting me along the way! Hopefully I can find a place that is right for us! I am itching to decorate Emma Claire's nursery!!!
