7 Quick Takes: A Weekend Celebrating the soon to be Bride

It's 7 Quick Takes with Jen time again...

{1} I saw this video in my Facebook feed yesterday.  It is gorgeous.  You really must listen.  


{2} Daddy went fishing.  He received fly fishing gear for Christmas from his parents, and the men are taking a weekend trip.  He never does this, and it will be great for him (and for them to be together).  We will miss him though :)  So, in our little love language (which seems to be cooking), we made him a treat for the road...























































My friend, Tiffany, spent a summer in San Francisco and is to blame (praise??) for letting me in on these.  Gosh they are good.

{3} Which leads to this take.  I gained quite a bit of weight this last spell between OB visits.  Ahhhh.  I always hate those "well, that was a big jump" visits.  However, I'm solely to blame.  So, maybe a little more (let's be honest, any of this at all) might help.

{4} Carter successfully completed his first teeth cleaning/trip to the dentist.  I was worried about it.  But, he was a champ!  I told him beforehand that he'd have to open his mouth wide for the dentist to see his teeth (because we sometimes have a hard time keeping it open when I'm trying to brush them).  Little guy took it to heart and didn't ever close it while we were there, haha!


{5} Word on Fire has a new CD set out.  If its anything like Father Barron's other sets, it will not disappoint.  Have you gotten yours?
Speaking of, have you signed up for his Daily Lent Reflection?  I cannot wait for it!

{6} Ashley, of Crazy Simple Love, put together a really cute nursery for her little one.  She tackled one of those projects that is all over Pinterest - pallet bookshelves.  Here are hers:

We've got one more coat of varnish to go before we have some in our playroom!

{7} Finally, goodbye home, hello Santa Fe!
It's time to celebrate my cousin and her upcoming marriage!  


Hope yours is a great weekend, too!!

Five Favorites: Random

I haven't done a round of Five Favorites in awhile, so I thought I'd join Hallie today!
Five Favorites, hosted at MoxieWife.com


Everything is random today, so here goes:

1.  Banana Peanut Butter Bites

A friend of mine posted these on her facebook this week, and we made them the next day.  They were a big hit!  Maybe too much of a hit with me :)

2.  If I Loved You - Delta Rae



I just love her voice and the beat!  Check it out.

Cord Baggies

I may have mentioned these as I was buying them, but since we've had them and been wearing them, it's worth a second mention.  They are amazing!  Comfortable, easy to get on and off for quick trips to the bathroom, and made well - a great combo.  And, they're pretty cute!

Uggs were another thing I didn't fall in love with right away (I am slow with trends).  But, I eventually came around, and now I have these, for the snowiest of snow days.  They're waterproof - the only thing making them better than my original Uggs!  Plus, I think I'll have them a lifetime!

5.  This Little Girl

I know ultrasounds area  little on the creepy side (for most people) this early.  But yesterday confirmed that she is, in fact, a little girl.  Even better, she's healthy!  Maybe we will decide on a name soon :)

Happy Wednesday!  Go to Hallie's site for even better favorites!
