music
there's quite a bit of variety this week, so let's get right to it:
5 - robin thicke featuring pharell & t.i. - blurred lines
this is the edited version of this video. there's a not-so-clean one too, if that sort of thing interests you. also, pharell is 40. what?! he looks like he's 20--that's crazy. this song is fun though.
4 - balls in your court - gangsta's paradise (johnny cash style)
a little something different for this week's cover
3 - kacey musgraves - merry go' round
if you're a country listener, you probably know this song already. i didn't though, and i'm intrigued by this new country artist.
2 - the mowgli's - san francisco
the hubs suggested this one be posted, and i think it was a good suggestion.
1 - vongrey - coming for you
these sisters have a very folksy, of the moment sound.
hope this start's your week off right! cheers!

diaper bags...
babies require a lot of stuff. unfortunately, the options for carrying said stuff are not always fashionable. while pregnant, i was hellbent on finding a bag that i wouldn't be ashamed to carry because, let's be honest, i carry it all the time.
in addition, i didn't want to spend a ton of money because there were other important baby things to buy! i needed to balance style, function and price.
my choice was the oi oi baby ikat hobo in navy, but here are several of my favorite options. i tried to include a range of prices because everyone's price point is different.
here's to holding on to a little style, cheers!

30 before 30 :/
so, i made my list of 30 things to do before i turn 30. at the time, it seemed like a long time--30 was far in the future, but now we're less than a year from that, so some things are being crossed off the list.
i'm going to go through the whole list and check in on some of the things, let go of some things, and maybe add a few replacements.
let's start with the first 5:
30 - paint or draw something new for the dining room
i'm not going to need to do this anymore, but i'll just modify it to paint or draw something for the house. i haven't done this one, but i plan to get it done this summer. i'll post when it's done.
29 - get my master's
i've already updated on this one. it's done. no more school for me for awhile, though i'm always learning.
28 - clean out my closet
eh...i've cleaned it out some, but i definitely have much more to do here.
27 - become a runner
well, i haven't become a runner yet. i did start the couch to 5k treadmill workout, but i haven't done it regularly enough. so, yeah, that one's still on the list in a major way. i'm going to modify it a bit though to run a 5k. both of my sisters ran a half marathon while i was pregnant, and i'm not that crazy, but i think i can accomplish a 5k.
26 - completely stop drinking soda
done! i've had only 1 soda in the last few months. i've really been trying to be healthier and drink lots of water, so this is one that i've taken seriously.

25 - go to a zumba class
i haven't gone yet. i don't like classes. it's more serious than that, probably a legit fear. i'm going to do it though.
24 - learn spanish the rest of the way
you're going to think i'm crazy, but i've been pretty busy with the new baby, and this one hasn't gotten done yet either. i probably won't be completely done by the end of the year. i'm hoping to make some major progress though, so i'll update on this one again soon too.
23 - change my sleep schedule
DONE! adding a baby to the mix really helped here!
that's enough for this entry, i'll update again soon!
cheers!

Music Monday
i'm still here. aren't you proud?
4 - ed sheeran & passenger - thrift shop & no diggity (cover mashup)
3 - vv brown - shark in the water
this one has a very spring break sound. i like that about it.
2 - solange - losing you
she's more than just beyonce's little sister and a fashion icon.
1 - imagine dragons - radioactive
i know. it's not new. imagine dragons are really beginning to pick up steam with "it's time" though, and i just want to point out how much better this song is than that one. i'm not really so sure what's happening in the video though.
i've made it to week 2 of being back. sorry to post this late, but i'll work on doing better.
cheers!

While I was away...
it was #15 on the 30 before 30 list, and when i left you in july/august, he was due any day. well, he arrived a week and a half after i expected him, but he was perfect.
there's just nothing better. i'll update on the other pieces of 30 by 30 soon.
cheers!
this is sam. he's the king of this castle now and easily my greatest accomplishment. he's hilarious and happy and probably the easiest baby ever. we're spoiled. he keeps me on my toes, and i'm more enamored with him every day. i don't want to gush too much, so just enjoy a few pictures. he's almost 8 months old now, so i'll try to limit the pictures. i could easily post hundreds.
cheers!
