They're really just weighing me dowwwwn. I'm happy your husband already thinks every day is "PJ day." :) We've really got to go easy on ourselves, especially on the tough days. Delicious food and thoughtful gestures (like husband holding the door or volunteering to drive) tend to do the trick!Stephanie @ Blessed to Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432625948200484509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-91478130827620313952014-05-12T21:45:25.431-05:002014-05-12T21:45:25.431-05:00She is really a thoughtful sis, that's for sur...She is really a thoughtful sis, that's for sure.

So I'm still giggling about it. Hopefully I'm not scaring the rest of the internet away with all my talk about Creighton and adoption and mucus.

So happy my husba...Family IS the best medicine. :)<br /><br />So happy my husband was up for pampering me on Stephie's Day. I most def needed it. <br /><br />Also, totally rocking my new dresses later this week in RI. It makes me especially happy knowing all my blogging friends AND Stitch Fix folks thing it's cute. :)<br /><br />The avocado smoothie is just something I threw together, so I don't really have a specific recipe, but if I had to guess...<br /><br />1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves<br />1/2 avocado<br />1 cup almond milk<br />1/2 cup ice<br />honey to sweeten<br /><br />Blend it all up and VOILA!

Coventry is definitely not far from Cranston. (But, honestly, nothing in RI is far from another place in RI. Haha, small state jokes.) How neat!! I will make sure I always let you know before I'm headed that way. It would be so fun to spend the day galavanting around Newport or Providence with you and Jonathan. Let's do it! <br /><br />The movie was actually really good! I think I liked it a bit better than the book. Some parts of the story made more sense in the movie. Kudos to them! And glad we're Divergent buddies now too. I just bought the Kindle version of Insurgence to read on the plane this week. Looking forward to it. :) <br /><br />I can tell Jonathan is a thoughtful boy, so I can only imagine how awesome Mother's Day will be for you next year, now that he's clued in to how rough it can be for us childless gals. And with any luck (and lots of God's help) we'll both be moms this time next year and won't even have to worry about it. Oh, wouldn't that be just LOVELY?! Praying!!<br /><br />You have a great week too!

They must have agreed with your little blogging group, that you look so cute in that dress they couldn't NOT post it! So glad you found so much joy this weekend! And sooo glad you are going home to see your family...the best medicine of all!

Jonathan's broth...You are from Rhode Island?!?! Jonathan's brother, his wife, and their son/our godchild live in Cranston!! Small world. Perhaps sometime you go visit we will also happen to be in town! Where did you grow up there?<br /><br />Ummm and I am a HUGE Divergent fan and have to applaud your choice in reading it. Yes, a bit more angsty than Hunger Games but still pretty fun to read. The movie will not disappoint!!!! How fun that you are going on a Monday. Love it!<br /><br />That was awesome to get that card from your sister. And to declare the day Stephie's Day. I feel bad that I didn't really warn Jonathan to plan anything. Poor guy was kind of clueless that I might even be upset on Mother's Day. Thankfully I wasn't that upset (unless you count when I was mass and EVERYTHING was about mothers...I've never felt more barren in my life) and he did redeem himself by making a very lovely brunch for us. Now he knows in future years to make the day more special...although I don't even want to consider another childless Mother's Day. It makes me shutter.<br /><br />Have a great week!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00860411434301403661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-56170651592325549362014-05-12T07:40:56.744-05:002014-05-12T07:40:56.744-05:00That is so so so neat that they featured your blog...That is so so so neat that they featured your blog post.
