Good morning!!
Such a lovely day yesterday with little Bean! Filled with fun walks, adventures outside, lunch dates and plenty of smiles. Makes going back to work today just a little easier 
Well that, and my cute outfit! I can’t wait to share pics with you tomorrow for Fashion Friday — Mama’s out of the sweatpants, folks — well, at least until I get home, anyway
Today is Thursday and you know what that means! That the weekend is just around the corner and it’s that special time to make sure we count our blessings from this past week.
I’ll begin.
This week, I’m thankful for –
Spring fever and all the upcoming walks I see in our future
The fact that I packed healthy, delicious lunches all week — today I’ve got a Turkey sandwich with cheese, spinach and french dressing to look forward to! And yummy snacks, of course!
New outfits that make me feel pretty
My desk fan - not only is it a cute candy apple green (thanks, TARGET!) but it keeps me cool while other complain from poor office ventilation
My colleagues and friends at work, who’ve made me realize this week just how much I missed them
Starbucks — and that there’s one in our new office building. Makes compelling argument for mandatory coffee breaks, no?
New challenges and diving in to new projects at work
The upcoming weekend — the Mister and I need some quality family time together. Between early morning meetings, late nights at the office (for him) and overall exhaustion, our evenings together have been almost non-existent these past few days and normally end with one or both of us passed out on the couch with Bean. I can’t wait to re-connect over the weekend and get my best friend back in my life
What about you? What are you thankful for this week? And how are you making sure today is going to be a masterpiece?
GOOD MORNING!
I’m in an unusually chipper mood this morning, which is a bit odd since the week has been so long and daunting, but I’ll take it! Maybe it has something to do with the fact that tomorrow is FRIDAY – and a shortened work day, at that! It may also have something to do with the fact that the Mister basically said his only plan for this weekend is to do whatever I want (you are all my witnesses) – too bad I am indecisive and will likely come up with nothing more exciting than dinner and a movie — which, if good food is involved, is totally fine by me (any ideas for a lame pregnant woman?!)
Alright, for those of you who don’t share my vim and vigor this morning, let’s get you all on the right track, shall we? And there’s no better way than to take a few minutes and recall everything we are thankful for this week. I’ll start.
This week, I am thankful for…
- Grilled cheese sandwiches
- Our new Keurig – I’m in LOVE with it!
- 4-wheel drive
- That I’m only three weeks away from meeting our little man (If he brews up until the due date)
- Hard work that pays off
- Kiehl’s unscented deluxe hand and body lotion
- 1000 thread count sheets — because if I have to keep waking up all night, at least my sheets are divine
- Bathtubs (a bubble bath is on the agenda for this weekend)
- Discovering leftover holiday Starbucks giftcards
- Starbucks’ decaf offerings (nonfat decaf Misto and pump of sugar free vanilla WITH WHIP, please!)

What are you thankful for this week?
It’s THURSDAY! For today, specifically, that means A LOT of meetings and deadlines coming to a screeching halt, pulling me in multiple directions throughout the day. So this is going to be quick — but especially important!
Because I’m fairly certain that today, I’m going to feel like I’m in the third circle of hell.
And instead of wigging out and letting it get the best of me, I’m going to take a deep breath and QUICKLY take a moment to realize what I’m grateful for this week (then maybe I’ll get one circle away from the inner depths … of hell that is).
So without further delay, this week, I’m thankful for:
Getting to see the Little at my doctor’s appointment yesterday — and getting reassured that all is going well
Productive workdays — despite the business and never-ending to-do, it’s an amazing feeling to leave at the end of the day knowing you made a significant difference.
Quick dinners — Thank you, Progresso — your Chicken Dumpling Soup was just what I needed yesterday
…and grilled cheese sandwiches
Waking up in the morning and being blessed with a good hair day
My upcoming date night with Jenn this weekend – oh, I have missed her so! We are planning to eat delicious food and see the Black Swan (I’m really scared, people. Seriously)
Stretch mark cream — because even if it doesn’t end up working, it gives me hope
What are YOU thankful for this week? I love hearing your lists!
