We’re all cheers over here this morning, because we’re just 40 days away getting to watch the Alabama Crimson Tide kick off the 2018 football season (and also 3 days away from our second child being born…but who’s counting?) 😉

And with the rolling of the Tide comes a rolling in my tummy for some of the greatest game day grub I can think of – and this year we’re going to be switching things up just a little bit!

Enjoying Ice Cold Watermelon on the go with Coconut Watermelon Ice Pops

Thank you National Watermelon Promotion Board for sponsoring this post. Watermelon is the perfect portable food for enjoying wherever life takes you!

This summer has certainly been one for the books for my family. It’s really been one giant countdown to the arrival of our second little girl, who will be making her debut in just EIGHT days! To make sure that I don’t focus all of my energy on preparing for the baby, I’ve been packing in lots of fun activities for my 3 year old daughter and I to enjoy together while it’s just the two of us at home during the day – but I’ve been super mindful about listening to what my body needs during this final HOT month to help me stay nourished and hydrated.

With just 4 weeks left until baby arrives, I’m trying my hardest to find pockets in my day where I can kick my (semi-swollen) feet up and just have a few minutes of time to myself. It’s pretty hard to have that time with a 3 year old running around the house, but thankfully my grandparents came to the rescue yesterday afternoon and took my tot to their house for a few hours while I rested. It was glorious!

Three cheers for being in the home stretch of my second pregnancy! We can officially say that baby #2 will be here in less than a month, and I have been counting down the days to when I can finally hold this little wiggle worm in my arms. This pregnancy has been a bit tougher than my first pregnancy, so in addition to counting down the days to when I can see her sweet face, I’m also counting down quite a few other things that have been off limits or restricted for me throughout the course of this pregnancy.

After my husband and I get our little one nestled in bed each night, we usually have a time frame of about an hour to get to watch something on TV other than Paw Patrol or some other animated kids show. During those golden moments before our eyes close with the exhaustion of parenthood, we typically tune into one of our favorite shows that airs on the Discovery Channel.

VBS 2018 has officially kicked off with the start of this new month! You may have seen my posts about Game On, Shipwrecked and Splash Canyon (3 popular VBS themes for this year) floating around the world wide web – and it’s because I absolutely LOVE Vacation Bible School and all that it entails!

It may (or may not) come to a surprise to you that even though VBS hasn’t even started at my own home church just yet, I’m already looking ahead to VBS 2019 to see what all the buzz is about! On June 1st, Cokesbury announced the brand new theme set to take off for 2019, and we’re all in for a treat that’s totally out of this world!

Our Farmhouse Office Reveal

I received product from Kenroy Home in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed within this post are 100% my own.

Since completing our brand new home roughly 7 months ago, I’ve had numerous people reach out asking to see “reveals” of the different rooms in our home. I’ve always loved to decorate, and for years I’ve had big dreams about what the decor in my home would look like one day. I have Pinterest boards galore that highlight my love for farmhouse inspired decor, and some of the most popular posts here on Southern Made Simple are farmhouse decor related! However, since moving in I’ve discovered that decorating a home is a rather time consuming (and expensive) process – and since finding out that I was pregnant just a few days after moving in, that process has sort of been put on the back burner. That is, until today!
