not what i wore wednesday

i just didn't feel like doing 'what i wore wednesday' today...i did take some pics of my outfits but they weren't all that great, so i'm not posting them. maybe next week will be better.

so instead i'm posting some of my favorite pictures over the last few weeks. enjoy!

and today i'm cleaning up, doing laundry, and i got two new books at the library for me and several for sadie!! can't wait to start reading.

have a great wednesday!

real estate and menu monday

my mom and i are a real estate team. i've been a realtor for 6 years now and my mom for 18 i think. growing up i hated real estate because she would take me to show houses with her or have to work on holidays/days off. so it's pretty ironic that i became a realtor. some days i still waffle between enjoying it and hating it. ha! in fact, i seriously thought about just giving it up in 2011 and being a complete stay at home mom. but i determined that i like to work. i like the sense of accomplishment in having my job and making my own money (even though mike and i share all of what we make), i like putting on dress clothes sometimes instead of yoga pants and t shirts, and even though being a mommy is my first priority, i like having a working identity-does that make sense?

now i'm just rambling! but mom and i ordered our new business cards for the coming year and cute calendar magnets too with our new picture. and now i'm not blond anymore. oh well!

speaking of calendars, i'm in love with calendars, appointment books, schedulers, anything like that. i get giddy just thinking about what planner i'm going to get for next year! do you do that too?

and moving on with my random post, here is a funny picture from last week with the girls in our family. looks like trouble huh?!

now for my menu for the week:

monday-salmon cakes, mashed potates, peas

tuesday-chicken rotini soup, ham and grilled cheese sandwiches

wednesday-tilapia, sweet potatoes, caesar salad

thursday-spagetti and green beans

friday-chicken,broccoli & rice bake

and we'll be out of town for the weekend, so we'll eat out!

happy monday :)

why is sadie so happy?

because she took her FIRST STEPS this week!!
way to go, sadie!

back to my roots

this has been a long, rough week. sadie got sick for the first time on tuesday. she started running a fever and by the time we got to the doctor, it was 104. i freaked! and she was so pitiful and felt so bad. so after 2 horrible nights of fever, a crying baby, and hardly any sleep, she is feeling much better today!!

so here is the picture for her 10 month old post! poor thing!

here are a few things about sadie at 10 months:

• she weighs 22.4 pounds
• she wears 12 month clothes but is getting too big for them
• she eats baby food and any food we give her. she loves graham crackers especially!
• she waves hi and bye
• she says mama, dada, nana, byebye, and puppy
• she has the cutest personality and is so loving and she loves giving kisses to her toys and family
• she is 'cruising' around all the furniture and trying to stand up on her own

and yesterday i got my hair done! i decided to keep it long-er, nothing too different except some added layers on the cut.

here's the before...

and the after!!
i went dark! this is my natural hair color with a few lowlights added in. it's going to be way less maintenance and to be honest i'm over the hilights thing. had them for a long time.

what do you think?
happy friday!

and not related to our bathroom...
we had some good friends come to see us this week and have lunch. they hadn't seen sadie in person, so it was a fun lunch! and she loved them!
