Friday Favorites! October 28th

Happy Friday! Boy, I am glad to have this week behind me!

Thanks to Erika, Narci and Andrea for the linkup opportunity!

Bear with me this week, the favorites are a little unusual.

Favorite #1

Bedtime...for the kids

We have had a rough week this week. So, I am keeping it real, and after the week with nonstop barky coughing, a head injury and two bloody noses, my favorite is bedtime! Mostly for the kids, but mine too!

Please don't misunderstand. I love my kids. I love spending time with my kids. I just also like to see my husband and have a conversation with him where someone doesn't interrupt. Or need a bandaid. Or juice. Or some other completely fictional problem just for the sake of interrupting and recapturing our attention.

I might also like to watch a TV show that isn't on Nick Jr. or Disney Junior. Don't get me wrong, those channels save my life/help dinner get on the table/get the laundry folded/get phone calls made on the regular, but I don't want to watch Peppa Pig all by myself. Although, I will say there are some new episodes of Max & Ruby, and I was shocked to see they have added parents to the mix now! Anyone else noticed that? Mind. Blown. It's about time those kids had some supervision.

Anyway, yay for bedtime!

Favorite #2

My Mom

That lovely woman saves my sanity. She is frequently helping out around here. Just yesterday, my son told me that Granny is better at helping with homework than me. She is really our only babysitter, so when we need/want to go out, it's Granny to the rescue! I really can't say enough about her. She has tons of patience for my kids, when my patience escapes me. She is always at the ready to help whenever I need her. I am so, so grateful to her that she lives close enough to help and loves to do it! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful mom and my kids are even luckier to get to call her Granny!

Favorite #3

You ever have a semi online shopping spree one week, and the next week, you become best friends with your UPS guy or gal? That week was like that for me. So many of you other bloggers have had the cutest clothes! And there have been some good sales!

I got several packages this week! I think my favorite delivery was from J.Crew Factory. I scored some cute plaid shirts, a scarf and a puffer vest. My very favorite was the puffer vest! I have never had one before, I was always hesitant. They reminded me of the 80's or something. But they have grown on me and I decided to give it a shot in the bleached sand color! Love it!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Grab a cup of coffee and get comfy! Here is mine below! I felt like I needed my coffee to take the preparation for this project on! On Saturday, my family and I had over 3 other families for a pool party and cookout. Here are some of the things we did! My homemade cold brew iced coffee! On Friday, I ran errands collecting supplies for the party. I came across these cute paper platters at Target! They were great for holding the hamburgers, hot dogs and buns. I also picked up some bubbles for the little kids, some juice boxes and water bottles, and of course, some pool floats and noodles, it was a pool party after all! Is there anything Target doesn't have?! Here are a few of the decorations I put up just to make it a bit more festive. These would be great for a 4th of July or Labor Day party too!

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud...

Last week, I went to Target (where else?!) to stock up on some fun party things for the kids. Because let's be honest...if the kids are having fun and occupied, the adults are having fun too! I love to have these around for parties! They are so convenient! I got them from Par...

I absolutely LOVE my puffer vest. I have 3 of them and wear them on repeat. That beached sand color is going to be so versatile that you'll be able to wear it with just about everything.

Do NOT feel shame about enjoying bedtime! It's the only time I can get a second to do things I need to take care of!

LOVE that puffer vest! My UPS man used to be married to my cousin, lol. I see him waaaay more than my cousin, lol. So sorry you had a rough week, and relate to your feelings, sometimes just so happy when the house gets quiet at night, and mine are teens, lol. Have a great rest of your week.
