High Five for Friday friends! Have no fear, I didn’t get lost in the abyss of
cyber space. This week has just been a tad
bit busy and I haven’t had time to write.
My High Five of the week will give you a glimpse as to what I’ve been
busy with, linking up with Lauren:
1) I’ve been listening to this book on my way to and from
work. It is so incredibly inspiring and
much of what is discussed is completely relatable. Don’t let the title fool you, I would highly
recommend this book to men too.
Especially those who have spouses that are career women and want to have
families too. Two of my favorite
chapters so far discuss families with “career loving parents” and being in
a “fully supportive” relationship.

2) I have been eyeballing this dress at Target for some time
now, but since I have a closet full of dresses, I have talked myself out of
buying it for weeks. Well, when I was in
Target last week this dress was on clearance and the only one left just
happened to be my size. Naturally I
bought it and I keep saying this just had to have been God’s way of teaching me
how patience can pay off.

3) I have been enjoying the products in my Birchbox that came
this week. If you haven’t heard of
Birchbox you should check them out here.
I received a gift subscription for my birthday and LOVE it. In this month’s box I received samples of
Cranberry Gommage face wash, Mermaid Mane Sea Salt Spray, Professional Mattifying Gel, Super Lash Mascara and Designer Fashion Tape.

4) I also hope to have caught the varmint that was eating our
tomatoes. There were many guesses as to
what could have been enjoying our fruit as tasty little treats but nothing new
has been eaten since we trapped a gopher so hopefully our plants will be
spared. I can’t wait for the day I can
just walk out and pick a fresh tomato!
5) My wedding dress is done, fits perfectly and is now safely
stowed at my Mom and Dad’s house.
Between receiving some pretty hilarious RSVPs (we have some really
creative friends and family members), picking up my dress and going to our
final details meeting/tasting tomorrow this whole wedding thing is starting to
feel very real. 10 weeks to go, I CAN’T
WAIT!

I hope you have an excellent weekend! I’m already working on some posts for next
week so hopefully I won't be leaving you stranded again!
I have read half of Lean In (I'm taking my time with it) and I love it. The part where she talks about feeling like a fraud, wondering if she's actually good at what she does or just making it up - I've felt those feelings and it was so nice to know that I'm not alone (and especially that this incredibly successful career woman has felt that way too). As someone who is jumping back into a career after having kids, a lot of what she talks about is hitting very close to home.
ReplyDeleteLove the RSVPs! So cute!
I seriously cannot get enough of Lean In. When she talked about how great opportunities aren't handed to you they have to be sought after, i thought, "well that makes sense!" Having been a woman in a leadership position, there are so many points in terms of equality in the work place that I find very relatable. And I too, feel comforted that someone who is so successful has felt the same things I find myself feeling.
DeleteThe RSVPs have been so much fun for us to get back and read, thank you!
That's the second time I've seen that book - Lean In - on this link-up! I included my current fave (One Thousand Gifts), but I'm excited to try Lean In as well! And congrats on getting married! I felt so great when my dress was done. And RSVPs were tedious for me, but I didn't do anything like that! I bet it's so fun!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through the High Five link up and read a bunch of posts. I love your blog! I can't wait to keep reading it on bloglovin! So glad your passports came for your upcoming honeymoon...what an exciting time!
