Friday Things
1. Joseph must have gone through a major growth spurt because I bought him some summer clothes about a month ago and they fit great. Now? About half of them are too small. Grumble grumble. Also, any recommendations for a roomy diaper bag? I have a basic, smallish Skip Hop bag that has served me pretty well, but now that I’m carting around some toys, usually food (due to his allergies), diaper supplies, etc. and with another one on the way, I think I need something a little bigger. Let me know if you have one you love!
2. This week, The Huffington Post shared the story behind the Snickers Cake that I made to commemorate what would have been my dad’s 60th birthday a few years back. Thanks to them for sharing it leading up to Father’s Day!
3. So, let’s talk Snapchat. I downloaded the app. I tried to figure it out and… I can’t? I’m at the point where I think I need to Google a tutorial. That makes me feel extremely old, like I’m approaching “get off my lawn” territory, ugh.
4. This is a great list for any mom, no matter how many kids she has! >> Life Saving Tips for the Mother of a Big Family
5. Exciting news! Work is going to begin on my site redesign in a few weeks (SO overdue, gah!)… if you have any suggestions or requests, share them below!

6. Thanks for all of the feedback on Sonic! We gave it a try this week and liked it! I had a bacon cheeseburger and thought it was really good for a fast food burger – bigger than most. And, most importantly, the tater tots were insane – SO GOOD! Thanks for steering me in the right direction! Can’t wait to give some other things a try – that popcorn chicken is calling my name!
7. Have you heard? Curb Your Enthusiasm is coming back for a 9th season! SO excited for more Larry David shenanigans!
8. Speaking of TV, was anyone else kind of underwhelmed by The Americans season finale? I love that show, but nothing seemed to really wrap up at all, which I hate!
9. And finally, of course I have to mention that the Penguins actually won the Stanley Cup!! No better way to start the week than celebrating that win on Sunday night! I wish they could have won in Pittsburgh last week when we were at the game, but I’ll take it no matter what. Love this team!
10. TGIF! I could stare at these sweet pictures all day… ❤️
Check out Vera Bradley for a “huge” diaper bag. Recently bought one as a gift and you could carry the baby, along with everything else in it. I was really surprised at the size. They can be costly, but they also go on sale all the time.
Oh, snapchat… *frown face* x1000. But I did think of your post when I heard this podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/most-useful-podcast-ever/id1022440073?mt=2&i=371353795
You need to get the onion rings at Sonic. The best fast food rings you can find!
So enjoy the pictures of Joseph and the doggies–I never grow tired of seeing these lovely pictures of all of them. So heart-warming to see people who care so well for their animals, and babies…..and yes, I watched the U.S. Open this weekend too–can’t play golf, but sure enjoy watching it.
Many blessings-Leah
Ah – Snapchat! I joined just to be able to follow Antonio Brown – He cracks me up!
Last night, I was with my two grown sons (a rare thing these days ;-( ) and they were teasing me about how I post hilarious things by accident. It’s true – I have no idea how to work it and I guess things get posted without me realizing it.
I am not a huge fashionista and I don’t typically go out with the baby dressed up so a backpack works great for us. We switched over to one about a month ago for a vacation and haven’t looked back. It is not grossly larger than our diaper bag but being hands free is so helpful. Plus it is more man friendly. I have a small pouch for the diaper and changing supplies and then there are two side pockets – one for eating supplies and one for toys. Not sure if it is the perfect solution but way better than the SkipHop one.
