My little sister turns 29 on Monday. It’s funny, because I remember when I turned 29. That was the year that I accepted a new job, bought a new car, closed on the home that we still live in and it was the year Chris and I got married. Tracy already has all those things, but it is quite a year to get nostalgic about. As you say goodbye to your 20’s with one last hurrah! Anyways, I am sure that I will get to see her at some point this weekend because I have the goods. And by the goods, I mean Zoe. Tracy probably wins for most Zoe visits out of anyone. I have a feeling that those two will have a special bond. At least I hope so! We didn’t have any aunts or uncles growing up, as both my parents are only children. I am glad that Zoe has a few aunts and uncles!
This week was a fun one. My MIL was out of town, so I worked from home the entire week instead of going in to the office one day. It worked out great and I still got done just as much as I would have otherwise. Dropping those 3-4 hours I spend in the car the day I go in really makes for more productivity if we are being honest!
Favorite Moments: Tuesday, Zoe and I met Laura for lunch at Ashley Mac’s! It had been far too long since I have seen her beautiful face, and a girls lunch is always good for the soul. She brought Zoe the cutest little pink elephant romper and took a picture of Zoe and I while we were there. I hardly have any pictures with me and her so I really appreciated the thought!
I try to make it a point to walk with Zoe to the mailbox every day and sit out on our front porch for a few minutes so we get some Vitamin D and fresh air! Zoe is straight up Chris all over, except her eyes. She has my eyes. Unfortunately for her, that means they are super sensitive to light so she totally rocks shades all the time with no fuss.
Zoe was so silly yesterday morning, here are the many faces of Zoe. All taken within a minute of each other. The bottom right one is my favorite.
Favorite Workout: When I can get in a regular cardio workout while Zoe naps, I have been doing this one a lot. I really like it! If I have more time after, I tack on a ten minute arms workout and a few stretches and am good to go!
Favorite Lust: My face has been breaking out again this last week or so. I have heard a lot of great things about the Murad Time Release Acne Anti-Aging cleanser. Have any of you used it? I am thinking about trying it because acne? Anti-aging? Yep, need both.
Also, after seeing Andrea wearing some pink Adidas Gazelles, I decided I need a pair ASAP. Like how cute are these???
Favorite Funnies:
Chris and I when Zoe falls asleep in our arms and we are trying to put her down without waking her…
When you are waiting for your friend and they finally walk in….
When your husband asks where the rest of the leftovers are…
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!! Linking up with Amanda.

I love the adorable faces that Zoe makes!!!
I love babies in sunglasses.
You always have the best funnies, I always look homeless at home there’s no in-between for sure! And those baby sunnies – adorable! Happy Friday and Happy Birthday to your sister <3
The meme about Jimmy cracked corn…. Hahahaha!
I love that picture of you and Zoe! You guys so have some done professionally!! Document this age with you in the picture! 🙂
Ah! You two are so cute in your sunnies! Love that shot of you guys!
Aunts are the best! It’s only my sister and I in a sea of boys so my guys will always only have one blood Aunt. I love the pic of you and Zoe! Try to get in the frame more if you can. I love looking back at pics of me when I was little but my parents are barely in them and I really wish I could see more of their excitement and making those memories with me. I probably jump in pics with my little guys more than normal but I don’t think you can ever have enough 🙂 Have a great weekend!
You and Zoe look fabulous in your sunglasses! Happy birthday to your sis and I hope you get to celebrate this weekend, after all you have the goods! Happy weekend! I love the homeless funny. That’s how I look right now. LOL
Sounds like a great week and OMG those pink shoes. <3 So do you typically work from home 4 days and office 1 day? If so, that is awesome! Your commute sounds crazy long though!
Hope your weekend was great. Hugs to you and little miss Zoe.
awwww that picture of Zoe and you is perfect! i bet it’s hard to remember to get photos with you in them, but they are precious.
i am intrigued by the murad cleanser. i am using one from first aid beauty and i love love love it for acne (i’m thinking the argan oil is making me break out too 😐 blah) but it doesn’t do much on the anti aging front.
I used a different Murad acne cleanser for a little while and actually really liked it, and have had my eye on the serum for the acne+aging, so I’ll be interested to hear if you like that cleanser. Love the picture of you and zoe in your sunglasses– too cute!
