Hey guys! Welcome to my Saturday Series, “Some Things I’m Loving!” If you want to join me, feel free to link up below and we can all share with each other what we’ve been loving this week! :)
Song: John Legend, “All Of Me.” Zack and I were watching music videos late at night the other night (as you do) and this one came on. Holy tears. I was a mess. It’s such a beautiful song- I mean, give me a piano and a pretty voice and I’m done for. The music video is John and his new wife, Chrissy Teigen (follow her on Twitter if you don’t already- she’s hilarious, and she’s also half Norwegian like myself, so you know) and it’s just so romantical. Love it.
Workout: You guys, I cannot stress enough how therapeutic and mind-clearing a good workout can be. I thrive off of them, I do. My favourite workout from this week was when I did this arm routine followed by this booty workout followed by this thigh workout. And yes I woke up sore the next day. My favourite feeling in the world, because you know it’s working. ;) Now, I’m 14 weeks pregnant, and I could do this. I KNOW you can too!
Food: We made chili and cornbread for the first time this year, so that was exciting. I always get all cozy and happy inside when chili is on the stovetop. It’s just like a welcoming to fall, you know? We’re having it again on Halloween (as per tradition) and I’m already looking forward to that! I kinda like chili.
Cats: I mean, just look at that face. I know people say that once you have a baby, you wonder how you ever thought so highly of your pets, but I don’t see that happening to us. Our cats were our first children, and I will not be loving them any less, thankyouverymuch.

I am buying that song! So beautiful! I listened to it on repeat while writing my post :P
Awww YAY. I’m glad you love it. I can’t stop listening to it!! :)

I love chili too! We are having a chili fundraiser on Halloween at Kyle’s work. I’m sorta excited haha.
Awww that sounds like SO MUCH fun!!! Love it! :)

Your cat kills me!!! Super cute!!
He’s absolutely ridiculous. Ha!

Cutest link up! I love this idea!
Can I beg you to email me your chili recipe?? I’m on the hunt for the perfect recipe!
YES of course, sweet girl!! I’ll email you our chili recipe soon!!! :)

I share your exact thoughts on pets. I’ve seen a lot of friends have their first baby and become disinterested in their pets. It makes me so sad because I’m afraid it might happen to us too. Then again, I don’t know anyone who madly loves their dog as much as we do. People look at me like I’m crazy when I say I’m technically pregnant with our 2nd baby, 1st one was adopted. ; )
Haha I feel the exact same way! Our pets are our first children, so yeah. They will certainly not be ignored! :)

Katie, lol! Some things I’m loving? Your blog! And…wait for it, just bought myself a pair of ‘jellies’ sandals, and thought of you and your glittery pair! New jellies?! A blast from the 90s past…another thing I’m loving :)
Awww you’re so sweeeeet!! :) Your comment seriously made my day! You’ll love your fun jellies!

And oh my gosh, you’re preggers! A huge congrats!!
Thank youuuu!! :) It’s pretty exciiiiting!

I agree! Chili is such a perfect food for welcoming fall and cooler months! Great job with the workout! I definitely need some of your motivation!
Aw thanks Carly!! I’m already counting down to our next chili batch, on Halloween! :)

All of Me is my ringtone for Andrew :)
Awww that is the sweetest thing ever!!

Noooo! It doesn’t happen. I love my cat so so much. He’s so lovely with Megan aswell, they’ve grown up together (she’s 11), he always knows when she’s unwell before I do and lays next to her all night. We wouldn’t be without him :) xx
Awww that is SO sweet! I’m glad to hear it :) And it’s so amazing how they always know when you’re not feeling well or if something’s wrong. They’re so sweet and have the best intuition <3

I love cats & your future baby already.
My future baby already loves you, too.

I LOVE the tone it up series….just opened these links to do tonight! I’m traveling all week so I’m making an email of all these links – they’re gonna be my bread and butter in the hotel room! ;)
Hugs to you and the bebe! :)
YAYYYY. So glad you’re going to be doing the workouts! They’re seriously amazinggg. Hugs muffin!

PS – Have you tried the blogilates series? Love her too! Her corset workouts KILLS the next day!
I have only done a few of her workouts- she’s so hardcore!!! I need to get more into them!

Gee Katie! Good for you (working out while pregnant) I rarely did and my eating really screwed up my metabolism and I’m living the consequences now (; That arm workout looks pretty intense, I might need to try it out this week!

Dearest Lou
Aw sweet girl, you look fantastic!!! And you have the cutest baby ever :) Yes, try that arm workout- it is NO joke!!

Haha! There is no way you’ll love your cats any less. No way. Also, chili and cornbread is a must for me…I’m just too lazy to do it.
Right?! I absolutely agree with you!! My cats are my first children. End of story. ;)
xo
I love fall! There is nothing like being cozy indoors.
Amen and amen!! It is the best!
xo
Tee hee! I love your comment about not loving your cat any less once the baby arrives. My boyfriend and I are also major cat lovers and they are our babies!
Right?! It just seems crazy to me to just completely neglect your first babies once your actual baby comes!! NO WAY. ;)

Oh man, I want a cat so bad. I had a lady come into work and offer to give me one but my mom won’t allow it since my sister is allergic. She says my sister will never come to visit if we get a cat. Sad. lol
