Lots of things happening over here, the addition is moving along and we’re making final decisions about the ceiling and flooring before Craig gets started on that next week. Tile arrives soon along with our vanity (check out our bathroom inspo here). Oddly enough I have more energy now than I’ve had my entire pregnancy. I remember feeling panicky because everyone kept telling me how I’d feel normal again in the second trimester and I didn’t, I felt like shit. It hasn’t been until the last few weeks that I’ve regained energy and I am SO grateful. It’s the final countdown! Lots of great links from the week, wishing all of you a great weekend.

This kale caesar salad recipe looks SO good. This dressing is delish if you don’t feel like making your own (their vegan ranch is a great option too).
A bunch of my favorites from Farmaesthetics are 20% off at Dermstore.

I’m so glad you shared the article about this week’s royal news. I’ve been so curious why so many are quickly placing the blame on just one half of this particular marriage and I was delighted to see a thoughtful argument to the contrary. The comments on that article are still quite divided, but an interesting read nonetheless.
I’m so happy to hear you have that burst of energy! I always had that the last month. I have always though it was something special giving me a chance to finish up my last minute birth preparations and be ready. It’s an incredible experience and no one feels exactly the same. No matter how it is for you, seeing this amazing creation for the first time that is part of you and Craig will be something that words just cannot describe. I can’t wait to hear the news !
As far as the Royals, I think in my opinion that Harry never wanted to be part of the strict restrictions of the Crown. He knew how his mom suffered and how her life ended and he was always reveling in some way. I think that now with his own family and a woman he love, he now has the support of a partner who understands him. I think it’s good and he is protecting his family. Good for him!!!
