Hey Hey! It’s Friday!

Posted in It's Friday by Katie @ Cup of Tea Blog

Friday Friday Friday!! Love it. This week has been a great one, but phew! I’m tired. I don’t know why…

I’m clearly getting old.

1. We finished season 2 of The Killing. I feel like we really accomplished something 🙂

2. We went out for breakfast to my favorite diner this week! It’s my favorite meal to go out to eat for. Plus, going out to eat on a week day is so nice and quiet.

3. Project Playroom is almost complete! Our IKEA shelves arrived this week, and I got them all set up. My arms hurt. A blog post is coming! We just need to hang up some pictures!

4. This week has just flown by. Has it for you? I was also super productive with the housework! But not so productive with blog stuff. It was pretty quiet, if you haven’t noticed…

5. We went to the pool yesterday with good friends. Elizabeth was in heaven! I had no idea she would like it so much. Last week we were at a splash ground with similar surprising results. 🙂

Let me know what you’ve been up to in the comments below! Have a great weekend!

Friday Friday Friday!! Love it. This week has been a great one, but phew! I’m tired. I don’t know why…

I’m clearly getting old.

1. Little Elizabeth turned 10 months old on Monday, and the villagers rejoiced! She’s exploded so much with her new skills, it’s just been a hoot to watch!

2. The husband actually ASKED if I was interested in going out to eat…….. SHOCKED!!!!!! That never happens. Normally I’m the one that asks, but he surprised me. We went to Pompieri Pizza here in Durham. Yum! Hubs got the BC Pie, which is a yummy mushroom based pizza. Then I got a pizza of the day with roasted garlic, tomato chutney, and caramelized onions. Delicious!

3. We are starting to turn our front room into a play room (blog post coming!). So on Wednesday, Elizabeth and I took a trip down to Ikea in Charlotte. It was quite the adventure 🙂 But we got quite a few fun items, including a tunnel! Elizabeth loves it!!!

4. I’m almost done with my Garnier Volume Extend Dry Shampoo. I love it! I wash my hair at night, so by morning, when it’s time to style it, it needs a little extra oomph. This is lightweight, not sticky or gritty, and gives me great volume. (Oh, a sneaky peak from the Old Navy bag in the corner!)

5. Yesterday I got together with my girlfriends and their little ones at a local park for a picnic and time at the splash ground. This place was amazing! We had such a good time. And my little girl, who still doesn’t really like baths, so enjoyed herself! Great times with babies giggling and good friends catching up. It was a great afternoon!

Hey Hey! It’s Friday!

Posted in It's Friday by Katie @ Cup of Tea Blog

TGIF! This was one of those weeks where I had NO idea what day it actually was. I kept asking my husband “wait, is today Tuesday or Thursday?”. I was so off every day. But hey! It’s Friday now! And today I’m headed with a friend to a new home decor store that opened up here in Durham – At Home. Do you have one in your town??? Apparently, it’s like Home Goods, but bigger. Bigger!? Amazing!

Here’s what I was up to this week:

1. I’m getting back on track in the blogging groove. And it felt goooooooood!

2. Speaking of blogging grove, hey! Guess what?? My blog’s FB page cruised over 100 likes this week! A small number, but a number I certainly am grateful for! *cue happy dance

3. Elizabeth has had quite the week. She’s started cutting her first tooth. I just noticed a little white line on her gum line, and then the husband got bit by a little shark tooth. And we’ve had to start baby-proofing. Because she started rummaging in a kitchen cabinet. It has begun.

4. I went to the Dollar Tree for the first time in my adult life. I kept hearing that it was fun to snag bins, baskets, etc. I scored some fun storage and baby related items, and recorded a quick haul. I wish I could live my life in haul videos.

5. Progress has begun on converting our front room in to a play room! The rug arrived yesterday, and then next week I’m planning an Ikea trip. And we put up a gate, which took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to open it. And it only took me 30 minutes because I just gave up and looked up a video on YouTube.
