Urban Farmgirl February Box!

Is everyone sticking to their resolutions this year? Or are you like me and just ate an enormous plate of Chinese food for lunch? Haha I am actually doing pretty good on my resolutions. Check them out here.

I’m down 18 lbs since the beginning of November and while I can’t really tell yet, others have started making comments. Hooray! It makes me want to go out and buy a swim suit already! Not quite, but almost. I’m really wanting summer to get here so I can spend some time outside. I’m super pale looking these days, much like a vampire. I’m pretty sure the dark circles under my eyes are permanent at this point. #momlife

I can’t stop picking sunny places that I’d like to visit. I’m sitting here day dreaming of Nantucket instead to telling you about the contents of my February box from Urban Farmgirl. See what was in my January box here.

Toys My 1 Year Old Actually Plays With

We were up all night with a super cranky Isla. Her fever hit 104 this morning and so we took her to urgent care.

Double ear infection. For the third time this Winter. Check out my tips for when baby gets sick, here. I can’t wait for spring to get here. I’m over this cold weather. Unfortunately, it looks like we’ve got a lot of it this week.

Being home with her today got me thinking about all the toys that she has absolutely nothing to do with and I thought it might be helpful to tell you about the things that have really captured her attention for longer than 30 seconds.

48 Hours in San Francisco-What To See and Where To Eat

I could tell that today is going to be a “meh” day. I woke up at 4 am because I literally could. Not. Breathe. I was so stopped up. Thanks a lot, Oklahoma allergies. At least it was sunny and warmer today. 

We had a great weekend as a family. Evan was off work this weekend so we took Isla to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. It was not all that crowded so I let her run around and she had a blast looking at the new exhibits. I’ll do a post on some fun stuff around OKC soon. 

I really am excited to tell you about a trip to San Francisco that I took a couple of years ago. I write really detailed travel journals when I’m on vacation and when I re-read it for this post it’s like I was just there yesterday. If you don’t keep a travel journal when you take trips, I encourage you to start. Pictures are great to have but it’s hard to remember the little details like that cool restaurant you tried.

DIY Hand Painted Sign

I can’t believe how fast January flew by! Does anyone else feel like that?

Did you see that according to Punxsutawney Phil, spring is coming early? I usually like winter weather but it’s hard not being able to get the baby out because it’s been so cold. I feel like she has been sick since the beginning of December so I welcome spring with loving arms.

I can’t wait to be able to go outside without a coat and hang out at the park. I see lots of days at the park in our future this spring.

I have wanted to do this tutorial for a while now! I always get the urge to update or add to my home décor in the spring. It’s a pretty expensive habit to get into, my friends. I used to see those cute hand painted signs but I didn’t want to pay a fortune for them, so I decided to do some research and make my own.

The Little Free Library

I’ve been rambling in this little slice of the internet for a little over 2 months now. It is a blast. I love all the lovely comments and social media support from everyone. I have readers in 41 countries so far! Thank you to each and every one of you.

I know this blog is kind of all over the place. I have several topics that I write about but thanks for sticking around. It means so much. I have goals set for myself and this blog and I’m well on my way to meeting them, thanks to you guys. Be sure and subscribe -> Over there, if you haven’t yet.

Today I’m here to tell you about a little project that I helped with a couple of weeks ago.
