Wordless Wednesday: Yoga by Ethan

Memorial Day Weekend Recap

We had a nice low-key weekend. Ethan had his 1 year check-up. We celebrated our 5 year anniversary and Michael's Mom's birthday. For Memorial Day we just hung out at home since the weather was so crappy. Last year it was 100 degrees and this year we didn't even hit 60. Ugh, Summer please hurry!

Having fun at the doctor's

And then the shots happened, little man was so sad.

Porkchop knew Ethan didn't feel well too

After Ethan's nap I took him to the park to hopefully make his day better!

I finally got to wear my new Minnie bow shoes I got in Disney!

We went to Rich and Tifs to hang out and have dinner. Makayla woke up from her nap and came and sat next to Ethan, it was so cute!

Saturday we celebrated our 5 year anniversary, there was a lot of love in the air!

We started our day with some breakfast and then went to the farmers market.

Then we dropped Ethan off at my parent's house and went to see a movie. We saw Hangover III, which we liked. It was much better than II.

We also saw this advertisement at the theaters, we can't wait to take our little man for his first movie in July!

 For our date night out we had dinner at Season's 52, which we loved!

Ethan spent the night at Grandma and Papa's and had a ball!

Sunday morning we went and had breakfast with Michael's family to celebrate his Mom's birthday!

Ethan was tuckered out and passed out on the way home

We hung out and played with Ethan most of the day and Michael brined a chicken and made beer can chicken, grilled zucchini and chopped salad for dinner. It was delicious!

On Memorial Day it was so crappy out weather wise which was a bummer. We played with Ethan, watched some movies and even though it wasn't the best weather, we still grilled and got a walk in. We made beer brats and pasta salad for dinner, it was yummy! After dinner we watched the Blackhawks beat the Red Wings and I finished a new wreath for my Etsy shop!

I hope all of you had a great Memorial Day weekend as well, here's to a short work week too!

5 years!

5 years ago today I married my best friend and partner. I could have never imagined that I could have loved Michael more than I did on that day but every year it just keeps increasing. We've done and been through a lot in these 5 years.We have had many blessings as well, the biggest of course when we became a family. Michael is the calm in my storm, my biggest cheerleader and the best partner I could have ever asked for.

We are best friends and we make the best team together. You are the favorite part of my day every day. I'm so happy and thankful I married you.

Happy Anniversary my love, I love you forever, ever.

New Venture - Love Nest Boutique

So I have decided to take the plunge and try something new, I opened up an Etsy store, the Love Nest Boutique! 

I wanted to see if I could sell some of the leftover items I had from Ethan's party so they didn't go to waste so I posted them on a Facebook board for Mom's selling kid's things. I had responses in literally 30 seconds from a ton of people, it was pretty crazy. I sold everything I had left from Ethan's party and everyone was asking if I had an Etsy store.With Michael's encouragement, I decided to finally do it and I officially opened my Etsy store today! I don't have a ton of products yet, but I have been working every night this week to create new things to add. Right now I have seasonal wreaths and Mickey birthday party items that I had created for Ethan's party. I plan on branching out to other themes as time goes on.

I'm obviously not quitting my job or anything like that, I only have nights and weekends to work on this, but I'm excited to do something with my crafting abilities and possibly make a little extra money. You don't know if you will be successful if you don't try so we will see what happens! 

These are the items I currently have listed in my shop and there will be more to come!
