Hello, Friday!

It's finally Friday, and today ends a busy week here at our house. I'm teaching during the May summer semester, and I love the small class sizes, but do not love the 3 hour long classes every day.  But, today, hubby and I are headed to look for bathtubs for our master bath.  I'll get to that in a minute.

1. "We live in the clearance section."

This is how my sister describes our family!  😂😂😂  She is not wrong.  I think it's fair to say that we were literally raised to spot a good deal.  And since I enjoy finding a great deal so much, I thought it would make sense to share those deals with friends, family, etc. so I started a deal group on Facebook called Orange Door Deals.  If you know me, you probably understand the name.

2. Bathtubs

We have a very large master bath that was built with a giant platform for the drop-in tub.  Which is huge.  The good news is that there are lots of tubs out there.  The bad news is that 1) my husband is 6'4" and 2) we have been spoiled by our huge bathtub.  Now, when we look at bathtubs, we think, "Can we fit all five kiddos in there?"  As you might imagine, that eliminates 99.9% of tubs (that we've seen so far).

We love the freestanding tubs, but they are all really narrow.  The drop-in tubs aren't as trendy, but would allow us to get a larger one.

Decisions, decisions.  Let me know in the comments if you have replaced your master tub...what did you decide?

3. Twins

The twins are crawling!!   I'm not sure how I feel about mobile twins, but they are SO proud of themselves.

Plus, they are both getting their first teeth in!

Why do babies grow so fast???

Hello Friday!

It's that time of the week to share five anythings.

Get this Jessica Simpson Maternity Top HERE
And that super cute apron HERE

2. Song of the South Farm

My hubby's market garden/mini farm means lots of farm fresh veggies on our meal plans for the rest of the summer.  Yay!  They are so much tastier than store bought veggies.  Sorry, Aldi.  I still love you.

These cherry tomatoes are looking great! Can't wait to have them on a salad in a few weeks! . . . #songofthesouthfarm #farmfresh #marketgarden #upstatesc #growspartanburg #permaculture #farmlife #knowyourfarmer #eatlocal

3. Maternity Clothes

I'm loving my new maternity clothes.  It's so hard to feel cute and super twino preggo all at the same time, but I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband who took my shopping last week.

  

My current favorite maternity shirt is this Teal A-Line Sleeveless Top.  It's super cute and comfortable.  I'm crossing my fingers that it gets me through the rest of the pregnancy since it's not a stretchy fabric.  Even if not, it may make a great post-partum piece.


4. Twin Boy Nursery Themes

My mom makes the most wonderful quilts for all of my babies, plus all of her friends' babes as well, and she's been asking me about themes for the babies.

Well, I wanted to do a different theme for each of the boys.  It must be hard enough to be an identical twin, so I want to encourage them to be their own unique souls from the start.  But, I also wanted to have something that's somewhat unifying as I decorate their nursery room.

And this week, my five year old helped me decide on themes for the boys.  We considered dinosaurs, robots, and superheroes, but decided on...

Explorers! 

One of the twins will have space exploration for his theme, and one of the twins will have earth exploration for his theme.

    

Now it's time to get nesting and shopping for these little guys.  I'm hoping to post some inspirations and progress on their themes and room in the next few weeks!
