Hey, guys, hey! So somehow last week was a whirlwind. If I were a betting woman, I would bet that this week will be the same. However, I just wanted to check-in and fill you in on a few points of interest that I’ve been mulling over this weekend.
ONE.
Seven Graces got a facelift, y’all! I am so excited and just can’t hide it. 17th Avenue Designs Shop is the woman responsible for the fancy new update. A couple of my favorite new features are the static navigation bar on the desktop view and the mobile-responsive design. I wanted something black and white with a pop of color, and I think this design fits my personality and all that Seven Graces has become perfectly. Kate, the designer, was a joy to work with and if you are in the market for updating your little space on the internet (it looks like several people are revamping right now), I highly recommend her. She does Word Press themes and Blogger templates, and her pricing is great. I’d love to hear if you have any critiques regarding the new site.
TWO.
The Duchess had her little princess!
I just can’t even with this royal family. And who looked this great just a few hours after giving birth? No glam squad…

I posted this on Facebook this weekend when the royal announcement was made, but can we just talk about this for a second? In case the video and Facebook post isn’t showing up, let me just recap. Kate Middleton has gone through two pregnancies looking like an angel. Both times, she stepped out onto the hospital’s steps to wave to the masses hours after giving birth, looking like she just left a spa. If you’re a mama, close your eyes for a second and recall your first few hours after labor/delivery. Then fast forward to 10-12 hours after your little baby was born. Looking fabulous? Wearing heels? Have a blow-out done (your baby’s diaper doesn’t count)? I’ve come to this epiphany: KATE IS A UNICORN. The hubs asks me all the time why I care. Because she is a unicorn. That is the reason why we’re all obsessed. What are your thoughts? Love or hate her, homegirl looks amazing. Blessings to that little royal family. (And in case you need to remember how I looked in pregnancy or what birth was like for me, you can read all about it here & here and gawk at the “realness” of what pregnancy and birth look like for some of us commoners.)
THREE.
Grey’s Anatomy. Holy hell. What is wrong with the world? I watched last, last week’s tragic episode, bawled my eyes out. I watched this past week’s episode, bawled my eyes out, and then I became angry. It’s just not fair. But is life ever really fair? I guess that’s what goes through Shonda’s little ol’ head when she writes up these episodes and story-lines. For the love. (SPOILER ALERT) I knew McDreamy wanted to leave, but did he have to go out like that? I have many issues with the way the funeral was done, too. Where was Christina?! Can’t even to the nth degree. I hadn’t even been watching this season, because I was still bitter about Christina’s exit, but with all of the buzz, I had to hop back in. I just jumped in and caught up, and oh my goodness. I’ve never mourned a TV character quite like this. This article pretty much sums up all the feels and why this death is just not okay. Anyone going through the mourning process with me?
And that’s about all, folks. Our weekend was pretty low-key and full of soaking up the sun. Here’s one of my favorite pics from the weekend.

Hope you had a great one! Praying this week is even better! Talk to you soon.
Let’s keep in touch…

Love the Royal family, Kate can do no wrong! Dying to hear what the new Princess is named!
Whitney, if you haven’t heard, the princess’ name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. If that’s not perfect, I don’t know what is! :)
Thanks for the update! I must live under a rock :/ haha. Beautiful!
I seriously cannot get over how much I love the new look Kristy! Fabulous! Yes 100% yes to Kate. I absolutely adore her and she is a total unicorn. Something for me to aspire to I suppose.
Thanks so much, Tiffany! I am in love with it. :) And yes, she is a unicorn! I want to be like her, too! If I ever have another baby, I’m going to try to look that great after delivery. Lol. Although, after a c-section, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to stand 12 hours after the surgery. Maybe 12 days later? Umm…maybe not. But really though…

I love your new design so so much. Makes me want to revamp my site I just want to rebrand and can’t for the life of me come up with a good name. I’m working on it though ;). I can’t even with GREYS!! I mourned Lexi and Sloan… Loved them but Derrick?!!! Ahh I’m dying inside.
Thanks, Tawnya! :) I know when you do revamp, it’s going to look great! It already does.
And yes! Grey’s took a chunk of my heart, that is for sure.

1. LOVE the new design. I am just now looking at it on my desktop and it is FABULOUS!! It is so perfect! I love the black and white with a pop!
2. You’re right. Kate is a unicorn. I mean, c’mon. How on earth does any woman look that fabulous hours after giving birth? I can’t even!
3. OH MY GOSH, GREY’S! I too, knew Derrick wanted out, but like that. CRAZY!!!
Thanks, Alycia! I really like the changes. :) And yes, Kate is a unicorn. Don’t even get me started again with Grey’s. I’m going through all the stages of grief! Lol.
Adore the blog facelift! Looking good, girlfriend! :) And Kate DEFINITELY is a unicorn.
Thanks, my dear! :) I’m so glad we can all agree that she really is a unicorn. Beautiful and mystical in every way. Lol.
