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!!

Friday Favorites! October 14th

Happy Friday! We are linking up with Erika , Narci & Andrea for the weekly installment of Friday Favorites! This week my very top favorite is ELECTRICITY! Where I live in Virginia, was affected by Hurricane Matthew. By the time he reached us, he was downgraded to a post-tropical storm or something, but still there was a lot of damage in our area, and people are still dealing with it. We were very lucky. We had no major damage to our home. We did, however, lose power for 40 hours. Yes, I counted! We were absolutely one of the lucky ones, as we had prepared in advance! And several years ago, we had a generator installed, so we had power to the essentials, like the refrigerator and some lights and a few outlets. Very helpful in keeping all of our devices charged!! My next favorite is celebrating this guy's birthday with his school friends a few days early! We had a video game bus come and park in front of our house. Several ...

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...

Friday Favorites! September 23rd

I've been reading these Friday Favorites posts on my favorite bloggers sites, and this Friday, I decided we should join in! Sara's Favorite #1 and Fall Bucket List Item! Let's kick it off with Fall TV Premiere Week! That is absolutely a favorite! I have been waiting all summer to get some episodes of some of my favorite shows and check out some new ones! I am most excited for Modern Family, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Middle to begin again. Except The Middle isn't coming back until October 11th?!? Ugh! The waiting continues! I also was excited to check out some new shows! I watched Kevin Can Wait and The Good Place and This Is Us. Kevin Can Wait makes it on my maybe list. The Good Place was cute! But somehow missing something. I am up for waiting to see how that one turns out. This Is Us is seriously amazing. Not to overstate it, but I was blown away. Please watch this if you can. GREAT show. #FallBucketListMCD Sara's Favorite #2 Clothes for ...

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.
