What a fun week this is! Seriously I needed to just post all these randoms together because each and every one of them are so fetch. Your eyeballs and brains are gonna be so crazy happy. I’m more serious than a heart attack….followed by seizure….followed by the birth of a baby….followed by Taylor Swift’s cat….and nothing is more serious than that cat.
Okay so first random….the Big Boy’s Room! This week we are gonna share the final reveal and I am so excited to show ya some of those details. We still have some little tweaks to do but I think overall…it’s camera ready.
Secondly….my friend Chelsea from the blog TwoTwentyOne asked me to talk to her and she was gonna record it for her podcast. It’s CRA-ZAY-ON-CEY….just so you know that is pronounced like crazy and beyonce all in one word….I get credit if that goes viral. It’s not super exciting…I tend to ramble when I am nervous and there isn’t anything soothing about talking to your computer while your kids are screaming. But if you are bored…you can check it out here.
Speaking of blog friends….I know…I miss the blog too….
Guess who is coming out with their new book in like one month!?!? It’s gonna be so crunk it isn’t even funny. I got to see a sneak peek of the original draft and even that was amazing. It’s so so so so so so good. And they did a teaser because they wanted to share some love and tell ya what to expect in this new one and finally got the green light to share the sneak peek!

While we are on the friends kick….I just want you to know that I love you guys. I do. Readers are my jam. I know this sounds crazy but I love when you guys say hi in stores and supermarkets and while we are at the park. It makes my whole freaking day. That girl down in the picture below….her name is Karen and that is her adorable little family….well, she was one of those people. She is a reader and in Target, she stepped away from her sister to say hello and say that she was a fan of the blog. Fast forward a few years and she is a very dear friend now (love ya girlfriend!). It’s crazy how that happens. But I am so thankful for that awkward moment of introductions (her sister still teases us about it!) because Jeremy and I got to take over their deck and give them a whole new party space. Thanks to Rust-Oleum we gave the entire thing an overhaul and it was a huge makeover that I can not WAIT to show you. That is coming after the big boy’s room reveal! I can’t wait to share the befores, the afters, and the crazy filming process. Oh wait! Didn’t I tell you?! My main squeeze was the bearded wonder who is now a star in the making. It’s gonna be so good!
Last but not least I gotta do a shout-out to everyone who is attending the Haven Bloggers Conference! I am so jealous that you are gonna be there (err…here…since it is held in Atlanta)! In the past, I tried my best to meet up and attend and even spoke one year…but this year I didn’t want to make any prior commitments (ya know…being due and all and now with a new little guy!) so I just want to send all my love and best wishes and hope that if you are attending that you raise a shrimp cocktail for me….and if you are a speaker, good luck and send me your notes 🙂 ….and if you are a Haven Maven, mail me a swag bag! No just kidding (unless you are gonna!). Haven Mavens….hope you get just enough sleep to enjoy the whole event! You all have a great time, mmmkay?! So many side hugs and kisses.
Those are a whole bunch of randoms, no?! Now to get that big boys room semi-vaccuumed for photos 🙂 Stay tuned!
I’m hoping to get out to Haven one year when my other two businesses slow down to let me have some “blog time.” And yes(!!), I still miss YHL daily. I respect their decision but it still makes me sad! Don’t you pull that on us, ok? Good! 🙂

Katie, I loved listening to your podcast! I’ve been reading your blog for several years now (post-Will but pre-Weston) and love that you keep your blog so personal and true to your personality! Thank you so much for being a welcomed break from the day-to-day for me and so many others. – Amanda
First of all, you said Fetch! That is never going to happen, :). Only you can make a post about a few different things an turn it into me laughing. I wish I could go to Haven, and am making it a priority for next year. This year we have other vacations already planned. I am a little over 1 year into blogging so was not fully aware of how big and awesome Haven conference is. Next year, I will be there!
1. i’m excited about all these things (and on IG- someone said that YHL is like crack- you’d do anything to get it back… and i might buy this book bc of that very statement. thanks for not leaving the World Wide Web at the same time they did. yikes- that would have been hard)
2. all the fun words are my favorite. so fetch. crunk. shake-a-doo 🙂
Best quote ever from KB: “I think three is actually easier than one”
You are such a warrior mama! 🙂
Can’t wait to see the big boy’s room! You always amazme me with your creativity and execution.
I miss YHL so so so much! I was all over that sneakpeek and am swooning over their dining room!
Well I have NO idea why you wouldn’t have time to come to see us!! Ha! Thanks for the shout out Katie, wish you could come by to say hello. You know all of us would be your babysitter, just saying. 🙂
Katie,
I can not freaking wait much longer for your boys room reveal!! The teaser above…o.m.g!
Drinking game for the word “LIKE” in the podcast! haha! It was fun to listen to- thanks for sharing and being yourself!
Can’t wait to see the big boy’s room!
Any chance you can convince those Petersiks to come back to blog land? 😉
No way. They are doing so good!

haha! I would need every one to be a babysitter with all these kiddos! Weston would need an entire conference room of babysitters 🙂
xo – kb
Seriously. Do that and you’ll get totally loaded into next week!

It’s true! Three is easier than one!
xo – kb
ok but is three easier than TWO?!
Aww love you girl!!!! You’re the best!!!
Hmm…good question. I think that it’s what your hardest transition was. I think from all the freedom in the world to having a kid was hard for me personally but for some people, they might have a super easy infant first which would make the transition easy. Will was by far our hardest infant…he had trouble nursing, he had colic, trouble sleeping, night terrors, the whole infant stage was difficult…but he is our easier boy I think. Weston was a SUPER easy baby but now as a toddler, he is endless with the energy and mischief. LJ was an easy infant but he was sick so much that it made it difficult. I would say that one was still my hardest and then three and then two then four…for whatever reason, now that we have four, it is like we let go of a lot more!

yeah – parenting… so many variables 🙂 thanks for the reply, really appreciate you taking the time!
I’m sure you get tired of fielding messages for the Petersiks (and I’m sure they’re sick of people begging them to return to blogging), but I think a collaboration (or interview) post would satisfy the masses. It would be a good way for them to post tour dates and further promote their book.
Thanks for posting that video- somehow I missed it on Facebook. Why is September so far away?!
