HIGH FIVE FOLKS … IT’S FRIDAY!!! The week has gone by pretty quickly and – I am not going to lie – I am THRILLED the weekend is almost here! I’ve decided to try something new and post five things every or every-other {haven’t decided which yet} Friday that I want to high five about.
What is High Five Friday? High Five Friday was started by a blogger named Meg from A Dash of Meg. High Five Friday allows us to “take time to celebrate our weekly achievements, successes, and abilities. Within a week we accomplish so much, but forget to give ourselves credit for all that we do, so High Five Friday allows us to take the time and recognize these important accomplishments.”
ONE – I Returned to the Workforce – I officially turned in my stay-at-home-mommy hat and put on my bringing-home-the-bacon-mommy hat on Monday. To be honest, there were some tears involved most mornings, however I take comfort in the fact that we chose a fantastic nanny to take care of her during the day. After my first day back at work Jellybean showed me some love … check out the smile I got from my little one upon my return home:
Onesie was a gift from my sister!
TWO – Back to Blogging – I’m excited to be blogging again. I am starting to get the swing of this whole thing called motherhood and I’m able to find a little time for myself = time to blog. I have some really fun {non baby} stuff to share including a bridal shower I am throwing for my oldest friend. We have literally been friends our entire lives – our parents met in Lamaze class!
THREE – Mad Men Season 6 & 7 – Season 6 of Mad Men is being released on Netflix March 30th! Guess what I am doing on Sunday … wink wink. The husband and I tore through watched seasons 1-5 while I was on maternity leave and we have been anxiously awaiting season 6. Bonus is season 7 begins on April 13th. We will certainly get our Mad Men fill in the month of April!!!
FOUR – Taxes are Done – For some reason I always procrastinate on the taxes front. Truth is I don’t even do them myself. I have no idea what my issue is, but I finally got my act together, scanned in all the documentation and sent it on over to the accountant. Feels good to check that off the to-do list!
FIVE – Established an Evening Routine – I knew going back to work was going to be rough on me emotionally so I decided to find something I could try to “control”. The little one is nearing the 3 month old mark so we decided to implement {hello project manager lingo!} a nighttime routine. I Googled, read blogs and skimmed a few books — all of which seem to say roughly the same thing — any routine is fine as long as it’s the same one every night. We started Thursday of last week and successfully stuck with it for a whole week! More to come on the whole baby nighttime routine.
What’s your high five moment(s) of the week?
