Let's Play Catch Up

I feel like my blog groove has taken a major summer break and I really miss the fun of random blogging, so I'm going to try and switch things up around here.

Starting next week, one day a week I want to have just a random topic that helps springboard fun, new topics around here. Natasha posted "50 Blog Post Ideas" which is going to be where I start looking for inspiration for different post topics. I'm no where near professional enough to call this a "series" but, for my own inspiration purposes and to kick start me back into sharing other areas of my life and talking  beyond Bump Dates and Weekend Recaps, I'm going to coin it "Open Up: ______" or something like that.

Give me a few days to think about a catchy title.....or throw on out for me! I just need a catch all for random topics! 

In the meantime...

Reading - I think I'm going to read Grey by E. L. James. I just want a book that you get lost in - and I'm guessing this one might do the trick. I've also got a few Nancy Thayer books saved which are always easy beach reads. 

Anticipating- I'm living in anticipation but trying not to.

                                                    

Buying - I need a new pair of Tory Burch Miller sandals and I need two dresses for my baby showers in August.

Listening - I'm obsessed with House Party by Sam Hunt and Honey I'm Good by Andy Grammar. Both are great summer songs that I can't help but blast in my car. 

Watching - Chrisley Knows Best and Flipping Out. But, I'm sorry, Todd Chrisley is hilarious and has the most amazing one liners I've ever heard. 

Devouring - Farmhouse English Cheddar with Italian Truffles cheese from Trader Joe's. Literally I could eat the entire block in a sitting.

Loving - Those pajamas every blogger told you to go and get from Target? Seriously, go and get them from target. They're amazing, so comfortable and so cute. I bought a size up so I'm hoping I can get a few more months of wear out of them. 

 

Hating - Very bad to admit but...work! Ugh, I'm just so not motivated by it and find myself counting the days til maternity leave (10 weeks-ish)!

Wanting - While I was in Chicago I was using my mom's DVF crossbody bag and I'm really mad I didn't just steal the damn thing. I want a tiny little bag that I can use to transfer my essentials between my big purse and my future diaper bag, and my big LV carryall gets too heavy to wear all the time, so this is the perfect purse to just grab a few things and run out with. And I can't find the exact bag online, besides this poshmark photo from google...otherwise I would own it by now.

Hoping - continued good health for myself, baby, and family. 

Feeling - Afternoon slumps have been hitting me hard and they're hard to shake. I think it's because it gets so hot in our condo around 3pm that I get extra lethargic. I literally spend an hour convincing myself to make dinner and take the dog out.

Wishing - that we had a garage with storage space. Our shared garage doesn't have any storage lockers and the amount of stuff we are starting to accumulate is starting to freak me out. And like, who knew babies needed like 17 different types of strollers? I'm going to have a mini parking lot for strollers on my patio. 

Have a great weekend!! Catch ya on Monday!
