Lulu Love

Had to share some items on my wishlist so maybe they can be added to yours!

ONE - I saw these in the store the other day and they are fabulous. True to size. Love the black too. 

TWO - a Lululemon classic, this jacket. 

THREE - best tennis skirt in a wintery color. 15” is what I always get and it’s not too short or too long. This has the grips on the shorts so they don’t ride up. 



FOUR - the new colors they’ve come out with in this shirt are gorg. Love the green too. 


FIVE - if you don’t have this mat and you work out often, splurge! It’s wonderful. 

Five on Friday

ONE - this pooch will not allow you to shut the door because he has to have his hoover half out there so he can hear the children!

TWO - Molly Anne had her class party this week and my co-room mom did such a cute job with it! I did the gifts and she did the party. Divide and conquer!







THREE - Grady's jellycat Lion lost a limb this week because he was swinging him around. The ladies at the alteration shop were super sweet with him and got him fixed right up. This is at the alterations place by The Butchers Market and Bradshaws in Charlotte near Stonecrest if you're near by. They're wonderful. 



FOUR - the elf left a note and put himself in a tall tervis tumbler and said he wanted to see their schools this week! So here is Achy at Grady's school. He went through carline at Molly Anne's. They LOVED this!



FIVE - when you get to go with a co-worker for your first mammogram haha! She and I both scheduled the same lunch time appointment time and walked over together! 

Kids Stocking Ideas

Girls and boys stocking ideas in this post! It’s always the last thing I do and this year I got smart and looked at what I had prior to going out to look for things! What a concept right?! I had plenty for Molly Anne but not enough for Grady. And my goal this year was not to have overflowing stockings. Here is what I think is fun!

ONE - any hidden treasure is always a good thing 

TWO - accessories for American Girl but $8

THREE - bring on all of the pampering for my little girlie girl 

FOUR - space plus bath bomb count Molly Anne in. Lots of options to choose from!

FIVE - this will work for either of them but probably more geared to Molly Anne, age 7. She will make Grady play with her though!

SIX - oh yes stunt bike. 

SEVEN - boy version - dinosaurs!

EIGHT - books are always part of stockings over here. 

NINE - glow rider monster trucks

Elf Ideas

Thought it’d be fun to share some elf ideas. Some have been my idea, some from my friends and some from Pinterest!

The candy cane hunt was by far their favorite. They loved it. This is a good weekend one!

He was tired so laid down to watch tv!

This is from my friend Siobhan and I think it’s so cute!


Easy - target drive up to grab cereal and done!


He started spelling their names!

I love doing these each night! Hope this gave you some inspiration! 

Big Weekend

It was such a busy weekend but all fun things. Here’s the run down:

Friday night - I took Molly Anne to see the middle school musical Legally Blonde. We ended up seeing a bunch of friends there so that made it even more great. The show was awesome!

Saturday - During the day, I got a ton of stuff done. Grady and I grocery shopped, Kevin took the kids to breakfast so I could wrap some gifts and we got caught up on laundry and house stuff. Grady took a 3 hour nap which was so needed from both he and I!!

Saturday night - we went to Firethorne for drinks and apps with three other couples from our neighborhood. Then we all went to our friend Sarah’s party and then to our friend Stacey’s party. We had a GOOD time!

Sunday - Molly Anne had a swim meet in Rock Hill, SC so the three of us went to that. Grady begged to go so he toughed it out with 3.5 hours on a bleacher and no internet. He didn’t complain but whew. We ended the day next door having some corn chowda and grilled cheeses. I didn’t have to do a thing and wowsers it was delish! 

I have an insane week but it’s all going to work out. Day by day my friends.
