a grateful heart

– light gray nail polish
– purple grapes + oranges
– … and pizza party sunday nights
– college football game days
– documentaries {i watched the drop box film on netflix last night- and recommend!}
– mr. monaco and his dad painted the baby’s nursery saturday … we went with benjamin moore’s, gray owl, {lightened fifty percent} and i love it. it’s very, very, light {almost white} but yet so serene. we are going for light and airy… and think it’s perfect for that look.
– heat and ice pads ♥
– being able to celebrate a friend’s upcoming baby this weekend {she lives in cincinnati and i adore her!} we have a lot in common and feel the same way about our families. she lives in ohio and her parents are here- so the opposite of my situation. we are due just ten days apart; both with baby boys. it was so great to catch up and see her. i could chat with her all day…
– pumpkin pancakes {yesterday morning we made pumpkin pancakes from trader joe’s– so good. as i enjoyed a pumpkin coffee and a pumpkin candle burning- too much?!}
– tights and boots weather
– the amount of love we keep receiving for baby… there is a box pretty much every day on our front porch and we are so, so grateful for all of the gifts, prayers, and support.
– seeing all of the photos from my hometown oktoberfest this past weekend on social media- so much joy, pride, and fun – i loved looking at all of them.
– browsing ikea
– rainy weekend days spent at home.
– an awesome giveaway coming your way this friday, october 9 {so excited} *one of my very favorite things for baby! yay!!!
