Five on Friday

ONE

First of all I just want to say to anyone that commented on yesterday's post I freaking love you. I was feeling like a total asshat for even writing that blog post but you all confirmed my level of crazy - is totally normal. I dig it.

TWO

I treated myself to a new iPhone case on Wednesday. I am slightly terrified I am going to drop it at just the wrong angle and the glass will shatter. Livin' on the edge these days.

However now that I link to it I only see it offered for a 5C. I have a 5S...dang it. Guess it's getting returned and boo cause I really liked it!! #firstworldproblems

THREE

You probably saw on Instagram but Finn has been selected to be in a coffee table book called Cutest Dogs of the World 2013! First People, now this...what's next! :) #stagemom If you're an amateur photographer submit a picture of your dog they do quarterly contests! Now let's hope we win some moola! This is the picture making print!

My Capiz Accent lamp went on sale - I knew it would! And I know most of you preferred the pendant but with not knowing where we will be living. This seemed to make the most sense as far as taking it with us. Otherwise we would have to hook up electrical to the ceiling. Don't worry once she is older I will move it out of reach!
FIVE

I also have been made privy to early information that my in laws have completely spoiled us and purchased our stroller! We selected the UPPAbaby Vista Stroller in black Jake and I am SO excited. Between David's parents and my own, little Presley is more than taken care of by her grandparents. We feel and know we are incredibly lucky to have such amazing parents.


What really drew me to this stroller is that it can accommodate two children later on and the storage space underneath. I am not a "jogging" mama - so this suits me and my needs better. Also we will be using the bassinet as her bassinet in our home as well. We have friends who have the stand and are going to let us borrow it. Pretty excited!! #115moredays!

Does anyone else have this stroller? Do you love it? 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

  5. Love the iphone case and the light!! Always good to go with something practical. My SIL had the uppa baby vista and she loved it when she had one but ended up getting rid of it after she had her second. I'm not sure the reasoning but it had something to do with my niece who was 2 at the time not liking the seating or not fitting in it right when they converted to a double stroller. She was pretty depressed when they got rid of it!

  6. That's awesome about Finn! Super beautiful dog. Also, love the phone case, but you'll be SO HAPPY it doesn't fit within the next year when phone becomes baby's favorite chew/drool toy. It happens too fast. ;)

  8. I love you even more for using the word "asshat" hahaha. I need a new iphone case. I shattered my screen, and had to upgrade...so I finally have a gold iphone! Happy, but I was kind of hoping to wait until the next generation of phones came out. Oh well. Better protect this one!

    And Finn is the cutest. Handsome boy.

  17. Bahah I haven't heard asshat in forever and I love that word. Finn is one hottie - better keep him away from my three bitches ha. Have a great weekend! And PS I HATE jogging strollers (but I'm also not a jogger), so what you got looks perfect.

  20. Okay, Finn is the cutest dog ever. Love the lamp! So stressful that you guys won't know where you're living yet! How is the house search going? Hope you had a great weekend!

  22. What a beautiful dog! We have the UBV in Jake also and I love love love it! We barely used the bassinet out and about because didn't like it the 2nd time and I just stopped bringing it with us in the car. But we used it for her to sleep in our room every day for 7+ weeks. The storage basket underneath is the best thing ever! You should definitely get the Parent Organizer (cup holder) accessory, and the snack tray for later. Other UBV moms always ask me about those!
