High Five for Friday

Wow. This is my first blog post since having Chester... Why not start on most people's favorite day of the week, Friday!! We'll get this weekend started off on the right foot!

As usual (ha!)... linking up with Lauren.

ONE. Health.

I'm seriously happy that I have good general health (other than being a little too fluffy). I was sick this week for the first time since I've had Chester. It was no fun but luckily my hubby was home so I could sleep on the hardest days and I had my handy Young Living Essential Oils to help alleviate the symptoms. Plus... my baby didn't get sick!

TWO. Walking.

Since I was sick, I didn't get to work out or go on my walks for most of the week. When you have a pounding headache, walking around with a baby strapped to you doesn't seem appealing or comfortable but by Thursday Chester and I were power walking through Blue Lake (and I got him in a back carry in the ergo all by myself for the first time). Since Chester was born (and I after I recovered some), I've made it a point to get outside at least once a day. Thankfully, Mike took him for a stroll or two with Chester while I was sick.

THREE. Zulily.

Ok. I might have a problem. If you ask my husband, he'll say I DO have a problem. When I'm nursing Chester, I tend to browse around the internet on my phone. Enter Zulily, my first online shopping addiction experience. I need to uninstall it from my phone... 

Ok, back on track; I got a pair of toms wedges, a Latico Leather purse, a pair of boots, some cloth diapers, cat earrings (omg... I'm that lady), and a sweatshirt designed for easy nursing. I love each and every one and they have all been used already!

FOUR. Technology.

Mike had an interview via internet/skypish thing a few weeks ago and we heard back tonight where he ranks out of everyone else for when they start hiring people. I would say it's optimistic to think he may have a job offer within a few months. Thank you technology for making this easier and cheaper than it could have been!

FIVE. Rain.

We live in Northern California, in the Redwoods. They are majestic, to say the least. It usually so lush and green here but like the rest of California, we are in a major drought. We haven't had anything you could hardly call rain since before memorial day and it finally, finally, broke this week. We are talking loud loud rainfall. An awesome thing we like to call thunder and lightening accompanied the rain and it. was. fabulous. Thank you God!

How was your week?
What are your weekend plans?


Be well.
