Welcome to the Friday 5! Every Friday I will highlight 5 things I am currently loving.

What I am currently loving: Ground Ginger In My Coffee I love spice, but I especially love a spicy drink. I won’t drink a regular margarita, but if there is a jalapeno margarita on the menu, you better believe I’m ordering it. I had a ginger latte at a fancy coffee shop a few years ago and really had no idea what to expect. It was the smoothest…

What I am currently loving: In Plain Sight: Lady Bird Johnson I don’t even know how I found this podcast, but it is so fascinating. I mostly listen to personal development or just for fun podcasts, but this might be my new favorite. I feel a little cheated that I was taught American History in high school when I couldn’t care less. Now, I think it’s so interesting…

What I am currently loving: Alone This might be my current favorite show! I can’t believe how much I enjoy it. It is a must watch for Matt and me every week and I am so glad it is coming back this summer. The new season premiered on June 3rd on the History channel, but some of the previous seasons are currently streaming on Netflix. The premise of…

How I am Really Feeling About Back to School
I wrote the majority of this blog post in 2020, as we were preparing to send our girls to school. As I reread and edit it today, I am shocked to be feeling the same things again. I ignorantly thought we’d be heading into a “normal” school year this year. With Covid surging again locally, we will be starting another school year with masks, social distancing and quarantining at the forefront of our minds. Last year, I read a quick post on Instagram from Tiffany with We Five Kings about all the emotions she has felt throughout quarantine, or the “coronacoaster” as she called it. The post listed every single…

What I am currently loving: Spicy Honey If you have been following me for any amount of time, you know how much I love spicy beverages. From a margarita to coffee, if its spicy, especially a sweet spicy, I want it. Most weekends, we try to hit up our local farmer’s market; the girls love it and I just love supporting all the local vendors and being out…

What I am currently loving: Kerrygold Butter Guys, I thought butter was butter, no matter the brand. Boy, was I wrong. Matt went to Alaska last fall on a fishing trip with his dad and brother and of course came home with an ice chest full of fish. They fished for 7 days straight. He brought back some of the most beautiful looking salmon filets you’ve ever seen. …

Our ER Visit With a 3 Day Old
Our daughter, Ruby, was born on July 4, 2019. She came into the world like a firecracker, 6 days after her due date and she was perfect. Everything with my pregnancy and delivery was uneventful and healthy. On the second morning home with Ruby, I noticed she was incredibly warm when she woke up to nurse. I figured she was just warm from being in her pj’s and swaddle all night. I undressed her and let her nurse to see if she would cool off a bit. After nursing her she still seemed way too warm. Ironically, before leaving the hospital after delivery the pediatrician specifically told me, any fever…

Blue Ridge Trip Recap
When booking summer camps for the girls this year, I went a little crazy and basically booked the girls every week that was available. I think the excitement of being able to send Ruby to a handful of camps got the best of me and wanted to just keep them busy and on a schedule for as much of the summer as possible. Which meant the only week we had available for a vacation was the week of the 4th of July, since all the camps are closed for the holiday. That also happens to be Ruby’s birthday. Lillian and I love the beach and could go every other week,…

What I am currently loving: Lululemon Joggers Y’all know I am a sucker for Lululemon’s leggings from my post here, but these joggers might actually be my favorite Lululemon item. They are amazing. Like wearing your pj’s but looking more put together. The material is just right, not too warm or too thin. They have pockets, don’t fade and I get compliments every single time I wear them. …

What I am currently loving: Revisionist History Podcast Malcom Gladwell is a New York Time’s best-selling author for his books, David and Goliath, Outliers and several more. Matt has read all his books and finds them incredibly interesting. A few years ago, we were stuck in traffic driving home from visiting his family and were bored out of our minds in the car. So, we started just randomly…
