Weekend Happenings!

Phew! What a week. And weekend.

Last week was insane from a work point-of-view. Although I was promoted to the Senior Marketing position at our company about 5 months ago, I still handle a few tasks from my previous role as Direct Marketing/Events Specialist. One of these is our annual incentive trip for sales reps. This year's trip is in Aruba, and although it will be the first one I do not attend (because of the sweet babies in my belly), I still am handling all of the pre-event planning. I don't think any work people know about my blog, so I can share the BIG secret here... We absolutely LOVE the Spazmatics, and hired them for a conference in San Diego last year. Well, we are flying them to Aruba as the surprise entertainment for our huge celebration night! How cool is that? I'll tell you. It's very cool, but its also very time-consuming to secure all of their contracts and the logistics around having their set-up 100% accurate on a tiny island.  I so wish I could be there to see how excited everyone gets when they take the stage!

Friday night the Hubs and I enjoyed date-night at Pappadeaux, and called it a night pretty early. Saturday was crazi-ness. We celebrated our friends Rachel & Josh at a wedding shower, made some Babies R' Us returns, and I must have been a good wife because I even convinced Justin to an IKEA trip. I'm not like a huge fan of IKEA, but I had my eye on this specific arm chair for the nursery (that I read about in 100+ blogs as the best nursing chair if you don't want a glider... which I didn't), and I really wanted to see it in person.

We came home that night with a loaded Babies R Us gift card, an arm chair, and a belly full of mexican food. Oops.

Sunday was just as crazy, but we did not leave our house which was awesome.
I'm leaving a sneak-peek of what we accomplished on Sunday.

 

Basically, we have a back room off our kitchen that we never use, so we decided it would be the perfect 'baby containment area,' since I have clear visibility of the space while cooking, etc. It will also be a great hang-out room for the babies and their nanny during the day while I am upstairs working in the office.  Since the nursery is also upstairs, we needed a 'changing station' to prevent having to climb stairs with infants just to change a diaper. So the play area also has a built in changing station. We got a head start on the space and it is just so cute. I am going to find some fun prints off Etsy to decorate the walls, too!
