Weekend Update 01.19.18

Friday Friday! (photo from our trip to Portsmouth in December!)

Life this week: We hit the 4 month sleep regression with E, so needless to say, I’m exhausted. We’re working on self-soothing and man oh man you guys… #sendStarbucks

Shopping:

  • After looking at basically every planner ever made, I finally bought this planner
  • I have this fleece (on sale!) in my cart. T has the men’s version and it’s perfect for running errands!
  • I want this sweatshirt for my next trip!
  • I already have this rug in 2 rooms in the house, and I’m contemplating getting it for the baby’s bedroom, too, to go under a fluffy white rug. If you’re looking for a neutral rug, it’s perfect!
  • I know it’s a little early to be buying summer stuff, but I couldn’t NOT buy this little flamingo dress for E!

Currently reading: I’m still reading Hillbilly Elegy. Almost done! Next up will be one of the motivational books on my list – this one is at the top. (If you have a recommendation, leave it below!)

Working on: I am still ironing out my concrete goals for the year. I know we’re most of the way through January already, but I’m putting together a list of goals that I hope to complete over the next 11.5 months and I want them to be things I’ll actually stick to! I’ll be sharing some of the list in the near future.

Weekend plans: Sunday is jam-packed with a baby shower for one of my best friends and our beloved Patriots in the championships! Saturday will definitely be more lowkey, and I’m hoping to get out for a hike if the weather cooperates!

Have a great weekend!
