7QT Friday (with a Sweet Winner)

{Joining Kelly for Seven Quick Takes}

1) 

Like my new header?  You would not believe how long that took me to design.  Sometimes I'm like a dinosaur when it comes to technology...roar.

2) 

Yesterday, two of my friends had their babies!  One boy and one girl, and  I'm thinking these two could be a match made in Heaven :)  I would post their photos but I haven't asked for permission yet and I think I'd rather let the mamas recover instead of field texts with blogging questions.

3) 

Speaking of pregnancy, I found a wicked comfy dress that hides my mummy-tummy really well and thought I'd share.  If you don't know what a mummy-tummy is or don't have one after giving birth, then we're not friends anymore ;)  Use code "Sale20" for an extra 20% off the sale price!  

Also, these pants are really flattering.  I order mine in the Tall size so they fit like regular pants and not above my ankle.  Use the promo code "Good" for an extra 30% off.

4) 

This heat and humidity have been so bad.  I haven't been running at all lately but I am sweating so much that I constantly look like I just came from the gym.

If..

Then my fat is super sad lately.  Come on Fall weather!!  But I just made myself commit to doing Jillian's 30 day Shred for 30 actual days in a row.  I don't think I can ever do a Whole 30 diet but I can exercise for 30 days straight, God willing!  Plus the workout is super short and just what I need to jump start my mojo that got lost when I let my gym membership go.

5) 

Soccer season is going well.  I must admit that I am totally looking forward to next year when our 5 players will be on 3 teams total instead of 5 teams.  That will feel like a cinch!

6) 

We celebrated the September birthdays on my side of the family last weekend, and I was in charge of the cakes.  I ordered Cupcake Cakes from the bakery at Walmart, and the girl cake was so pretty:

But the boy cake was a little more scandalous:

All the adults noticed, but none of the kids, thank goodness :)

7) 

The winner of the Happy Valley Honey is...

Amelia from One Catholic Mama!

Have a winning-after-everybody-thinks-you-are-cheaters kind of weekend everybody!

Boo. Yah.
