Friday Things

1.ย This little guy has totally stolen my heart. I could sit and watch him smile and coo all day, every dayโฆ which is pretty much what I do! Even when heโs up at 3:30 in the morning or refusing to nap for hours on end in the afternoon, I just want to hug and snuggle him. Iย feel so lucky to beย his mom.
2.ย On Wednesday, I turned the big 3-5. I ate pizza for dinner, had chocolate for snacks and enjoyedย a wonderfully relaxing day with all of my boys. Thank you all for the birthday wishes!
3.ย I have had a miserable time with dry skin over the last month or soโฆ unless I slather myself with lotion after showering, my skin is flaky and gross. I know they say not to take hot showers, but when itโs cold and dreary outside I canโt NOT take a hot shower. Itโs a compromise I just canโt make.
4.ย Have you seen the story about the man in Washington state who used a cardboard cutout of the man from the Dos Equisโ beer commercials (โthe most interesting man in the worldโ) in the passenger seat so he could use the HOV lanes? Iโm not sure whatโs funnier โ that, or the trooperโs tweet about it!
5. Love this tutorial about how to make natural dyed Easter eggsโฆ are decorated eggs part of your Easter tradition?
Save This Recipe
6.ย Did you see this list of 21 Food Words & Phrases That We Should All Probably Quit Using? Any others youโd add to the list?
7.ย You know Iโm a makeup and hair novice, so Iโm loving these 29 hair care cheat sheets.
8.ย I absolutely adore Tom Hanks; this montage of all of his famous movies is perfect.
9. How did your March Madness bracket fair during the first two rounds of the tournament? Iโm currently in last place in our little pick โem league, sooooo I didnโt do a very good job with my picks. Not that I know anything at all about college basketball, though!
10. TGIF! I hope you have a playful weekend!




Ummm, I think I maybe had your babyโs twinโฆif thats possible :) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BydfWZXanLI5QXgycXhXUmhoLXM/view?usp=sharing
When was he born? Love your blog!
Kara
Haha, very similar! He was born on January 19th :)
sorry , also nothing wrong with crisco for dry hands. know any bakers with bad hands?
sorry so late in offering a suggestion.. I live in suburban Chicago. wind cold snow dry air for the heat.
make sure you have a humidifier on your heating system and it is set appropriately.
I started using Neutrogena bath wash followed by Neutrogena body oil followed by lotion. I know it is a lot but it works. when it is really bad I also use cetaphil or eucerin cream.
Gorgeous little face!
Try fish oil tablets for dry skin, it helps my eczema :)
Your little guy is ADORABLE!
I swear by Cetaphil for my dry skin.
I would add, โTo Die Forโ to that list โ makes me cringe. My husband is stuck on โphenomenalโ when he is commenting on food. Itโs getting old.
Johnsonโs Baby Oil Gel works great for dry skin!
Donโt know where the question mark came from, sorry! Need to check before hitting submit.
What a beautiful baby boy? Enjoy your photos of him and the dogs as well as your recipes.
I have horrible skin and every time I shave my legs they itch and breakout (if I scratch, the skin tears) but since I started using Goat milk soap from http://www.goatmilkstuff.com I donโt use lotion or anything else and my legs are so much better. They make all their soap on their farm, the family runs the business and takes care of the goats, itโs made in the USA, and the prices are reasonable. I buy a few bars a year and they last quite a while. The smells are amazing too. I even use it to wash my naturally curly hair and havenโt used shampoo in three years. I whole wholeheartedly recommend them.
I look forward to you blog, especially your Friday Things. Your baby is seriously one of the prettiest babies I have ever seen. Have a good weekend.
O M Gosh!!! Could he get ANY cuter?? He is just beautiful. I have a 9 year old girl. This is the best advice I ever received: Hold them and hug them every chance you get, because once they start walking, mobility trumps hugs, lol. Enjoy him every second you have. Hugs.
It makes me so happy to see you embracing motherhood so much :) Heโs so cute!
PS โ happy birthday!!
Thanks Kristen! :)
That food list, guilty on multiple accounts. LOL! Thank your for bringing the list to my attention; I had not seen it.
Iโm a big fan of olive oil for my face. Itโs an awesome make-up remover, cleanser, moisturizer. Google it.
Joseph is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen!!!
That Tom Hanks clip is so adorable!
