Restin’
March 29, 2018
Welp, after 33 weeks of indoor cycling, traveling, home renovations, and adventures, the twins and I are officially on bed rest. If you know me, you know this is going to be a pretty torturous time but I’ve got work to keep me busy (thank goodness for technology!), lots of Netflix recommendations, a library not too far down the road where the Red Head can get me the latest reads, a rekindled love of Sudoku and a pretty amazing support system. I’m not sure how things will be looking around here in blog land but I’m going to focus my energy on getting these babes stronger every day. So, for now, I’m kicking my feet up and living that bed rest lifestyle. See you on the other side!

Maybe it’s just me, but I needed to see these little buggers in my feed today. Thanks for the Tuesday cheer, pals!

Weekend Wrap Up 3.26
March 26, 2018
Ahh, a weekend wrap up coming to you quite late on a Monday… some things never change. The last few days have been a blur in the best way possible. Maybe it’s nesting, maybe it’s just my nature, but we are checking this off the to-do list around this house. From baby errands, to car seat installs, to paint touch up and carpet going in, we’ve been working since Friday night and it feels good to be making progress. Only bummer? The list doesn’t seem to be getting too much shorter and my stamina is dwindling. The devil really is in the details with this re-model but we’ll get there. Or maybe we’ll just tempt guests to our house to meet the new babies when they arrive and then convince them to stay and help install trim? Seems like something I would do. You’ve been warned! While I get our to-do’s in order for tomorrow (and the next day, and the next day, and…) enjoy these links from around the web.
- I keep bookmarking things like this and haven’t use my Instant Pot yet.
- Now, that’s a commitment.
- I’m not this extreme but this is how I feel on my weekly work from home day.
- Spent some time here getting inspired.
- The point is to run.
- How would you feel about this in your home?
- Cancer teaching you to live.
- I’m making these for Easter and can’t wait!

One Day Run
March 23, 2018
After baby showers, registries and lots of list making I am armed and ready for a big day of pre-baby errands tomorrow while carpet is being installed. I’m coming for you, Target, Buy Buy Baby, IKEA and HomeGoods. I’ve got gift cards to use, exchanges to make, last items to check off the registry and a lot of coupons that will be put to good use. I’ve also got a back seat full of car seats that I’m still getting used to so hopefully I don’t buy too much because I’m running out of room in my CR-V! Wish me luck!

Northern Cliffs
March 22, 2018
If anyone deserves a high five this week, it’s the Red Head. Between the dust, fumes, swollen ankles and fatigue I haven’t been in the basement helping with our re-model much at all. You can usually find me perched in bed writing baby shower thank you notes and frantically making to-do lists. Good news, though, we settled on a paint color for the basement living room (after our first attempt fell short). The winner? Benjamin Moore Northern Cliffs! Carpet is getting installed on Saturday, we’re moving some furniture on Sunday (I’ll be supervising) and I can’t wait for our first movie night down there. Bring on the microwave popcorn!

So Many Showers
March 20, 2018
The last two weekends, the Red Head, babies and I have been completely blown away by the generosity of the people in our lives. There was a shower in MN with friends and family from across the country, a Beyonce-themed shower with friends that have become like family and a shower in Chicago (photos above) that brought together people from all stages of my life. It was really humbling to be surrounded by these people and feel the love and excitement as we prepare for this big (!!) adventure ahead. I’m not sure how we got so lucky but I can’t wait for the Erickson Twins to meet each and every one of these amazing characters. But not for many more weeks, please…

Doesn’t this scene look like a perfect way to spend a morning this weekend? I realize it’s only Monday but here’s to looking ahead.

Weekend Wrap Up 3.18
March 18, 2018
It happened. I drove six hours home from Chicago and I have officially lost sight of my ankles. Holy swelling. I’m going to keep this brief, put on some pajamas and call it a night as soon as possible. Of course, these gams will be elevated. Pretty wild Sunday night around these parts! I’ll take it, though, after an absolutely wonderful (and busy!) weekend back home. These Erickson babies better know how lucky they are! Enjoy these few links from around the web while I try to tame the swelling and re-live the highlights of the weekend. Oy!

Chicago Shower
March 16, 2018
I’m packing up, grabbing the big grey dog and heading to Chicago this weekend for a shower with my hometown friends and family. I am so, so excited to see everyone and hopefully they’re not too bummed to miss out on green beer…
Catch you next week!
