Confessional Friday: {Link-Up}


Confessional Friday – it’s here, it’s here! Let’s skip through the small talk and get to the...well, more small talk. 

I confess that I’m dying to show you our new home! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen her already. (And I profusely apologize for the repeat pic.) But, for those who aren’t on that platform, I thought I’d share a pic.  We move in at the end of July, so the packing is in full swing hasn't even started yet. I can’t wait to get all settled in and take you guys on a virtual home tour. After it's decorated. (Read: after my much more home-interior-savvy MIL comes and fixes it up. A decorator, I am not.)




I confess that I’m considering seeing Maleficent by myself. I seriously doubt my hubs will want to go watch, so I’m thinking maybe he can watch Caroline and I’ll go solo.  And enjoy getting a big ‘ol popcorn and Coke all to myself. And maybe taking a nap in the theater. So, if you live in NWA and see me hanging out at the Pinnacle Hills Promenade movie theater, feel free to come sit by me! ; ) (I can't be the only grown woman to want to see this movie?)

I confess that was so hungry on my way to work yesterday that I ate one of Caroline's teething crackers. They were in a Ziploc bag in my drink console and I was hungry. It wasn't terrible, but definitely could have used some cream cheese ; )

I confess that I scared myself into a sleepless night by watching a stupid scary movie late one night this week. Stephen was in NYC and Minneapolis for work all week, so one night after I put Caroline down, I flipped on the TV and The Conjuring was playing. Now, I watched it once before with Stephen and didn't remember going to bed freaked out, but this time...good Lord. I should have stopped watching, but it really is one of those movies that sucks you in! So, I watched the whole blessed thing. 

Later, I held little Ruby close to me in bed and jumped every time our A/C kicked on through the night. I even considered waking Caroline up to hang out and keep her mama company. (Just kidding. Kind of.) Never again will I do that while he's out of town. 

I confess that I'm torn on what kind of planner to get for this upcoming fall/winter. If that isn't the most scandalous confession you've ever heard, then my name isn't Leslie. But seriously, I still love the Whitney English planners a LOT, but I always wonder if there's something better out there. I'm kind of digging the Emily Ley planners, which I think debut in September. 



I confess that I still say "I taped" something...as in, a movie or TV show. Yes, we own a DVR. Yes, I know we are technically "recording" it. But as a child of the 80s, VHS references are just hard to shake. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get my DeLorean to the shop.

Alright, I'll give you a moment to digest all the riveting information above. It's a lot to take in, I know.

Now, your turn. Tell me what's on your mind - the good, the bad and the really bad.

  7. Congrats on the beautiful new home! Go see Maleficent- it's so good!!! I went with my husband, and he thought it was just okay. He never saw Sleeping Beauty though, so he didn't appreciate some of the references in the movie. Angelina Jolie was absolutely brilliant in it. Happy weekend :)

  8. The new home looks gorgeous!! Can't wait to see a tour! Hahaha - I totally still say I taped something too. Saying 'I DVRed" it is just weird and uncomfortable. Attempting to talk my husband into seeing Maleficent with me tomorrow afternoon..wish me luck. My backup plan is to just steal a small child for the afternoon and make them watch it with me so I don't look so strange.

  14. Yeah, I definitely find myself saying things along the lines of taping it and realize how old it makes me sound. Yikes.

    I've definitely eaten a baby puff in my day. Sweet potato flavor FTW.

    We love the Pinnacle Hills Promenade! Only 1.5 hours away!
