patricks bakery

i may have indulged in a few treats from patrick's bakery the other day. . .

can you blame a girl?

24 weeks

i was looking through my planner for the upcoming months and i have realized there is only one weekend until the baby comes that i do not work or have something planned.

i think i am realizing how quickly these next 3 months are going to go

baby it's cold outside

it has been absolutely freezing here.

i'm talking -35 degrees.

we haven't felt like leaving our house much. . . can't say that i mind just hanging out with these two boys all day.

(i must admit i still have my christmas tree and decorations up)- it makes staying inside that much more enjoyable.

hope you all are staying warm!

i got a tea pot for christmas (which was great timing since our microwave just broke) so between snuggling up with the boys and sipping tea or hot chocolate i'm staying nice and toasty over here :)

Church + Donuts

i truly love going to mass every week. but sleeping in on sunday mornings sounds amazing as well.

 i think i need to start exploring saturday night mass.

one thing that helps ease the bitter cold mornings is treating ourselves to breakfast afterwards and talking over what we thought of the homily, the scriptures read, and how it applied to our lives.

it is great to sit down and just talk about the mass. to talk about the upcoming week. and of course talk in circles over baby stuff. ;)

also, if you have never had a cronut (half croissant, half donut) before, you must try one.

[Happy New Year: 2015]

i know i say this every year, but i can't believe how fast the year went by.

for new years we spent the night celebrating at my brother's house.

i have so many hopes for 2015.

i can't wait to meet this little baby.
to spend it with my family of 4.
to drink more water.
to overall be a better person.

Happy New Year!
