I’ve got those Friday feels, y’all! Super pumped about the weekend. We have a MoveMore Bootcamp and a wedding on the agenda. I’m also hoping to get some of our closets organized before I transition all the kid’s clothes over to the upcoming Fall season. <-my least favorite mama chore. What are your plans for the weekend??
Today I have a fun little post…something I actually wrote back in 2012 (!!!) but I went through and updated it for 2015. Incredibly fun to look back at life and see just how much has changed. I tell ya – Life just keeps getting richer and fuller and more complex and wonderful. I’m blessed to know that no matter what comes, God’s got me. He’s got me. To know that you’re held, no matter what, is a great gift when it comes to dealing with fears and troubles and just life in general. (I hope you all have that sense of comfort….and if not, I’d love to chat with you behind the scenes – my email is lindsayslist@gmail.com).
Anyway…here goes…

1 – the number of Gods I serve.
1 – the number of husbands I’ve taken.

This is great! Off our last river trip and just catching up on blogs…what a fun post and look at your life! :D
The number of cups of coffee I need to feel human – 2 (or 3)
Have a great weekend!
0-the number of days left in my summer break
22-the number of 3rd graders who will be my “kids” for the year starting Monday
EXCITING!!!!
7 – the number of weeks until our son is due!
4 – the number of weeks until he’s allowed to safely arrive
20,000,000 – the number of things I have to do before either of those happen! ;)
How fun! I love this survey!
1030 – the time my barre workout class starts today! I’m about to head out in a little bit!
How cute are you!? And let’s get real, if you’re getting 8 hours of sleep a night then that’s all you need to be pretty because girl, you’re GORGEOUS! <3
Love this!
9 – The number of hours of sleep I need per night to be not-so-grumpy in the morning! (In reality, I get about 7).
Also, random question, but did you ever write about your birth stories? I’m obsessed with reading them now that I’m less than a week away from my due date, but I don’t see a search bar on your blog to search for yours (and sorry if that sounds weird, I just figure if you did it three times and have such a positive perspective on motherhood, yours would be a good one to read :))!
10- hours of sleep I need to function!
4-the number of weeks until I start my new (part-time, yay!) job!
Your family is so cute.
Here’s one – 19. The number of months my kid turned yesterday. What?! He’s closer to 2 than 1!
