Friday Favorites - February 10th

If it's Friday, you know we're linking up with ErikaNarci and Andrea!

Favorite #1




My family is planning on taking a trip for Spring Break in just a few short weeks. Elliot, who is 4, will need a booster seat for our transportation. I found this on Amazon (link above), and was so excited! I don't know about you, but this is a game changer for us! You always have to carry or check a bulky seat. I hope this works in practice as well as it seems it will in concept! Ours arrived yesterday! I will be sure to update you on whether or not we liked it!

Favorite #2

Puzzles

My family has gotten into doing puzzles lately. It brings back memories for me of doing them with my Dad as a kid. I remember one puzzle in particular we did. It was all chocolate candy bars! I wish I had pics for you. This has become quite a favorite at our house. And it's low tech! We all need to put the devices down more!

Favorite #3



Oh my gosh, you guys! I was so excited! This past weekend, we got a brick and mortar Athleta store! I am a huge fan of their sister brands (Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic). Admittedly, I don't work out as much as I should. But I love a shiny new store, and it is nice to have that tactile experience! of course, I went to check it out! They had some really cute stuff. I also went in search of a new bathing suit. I hear their suits are really cute. Let me tell you...they didn't disappoint. I know...too soon to be talking swim suits. Our Spring Break falls ridiculously early. We will be off in just a few short weeks. Look what I found!




I had my son with me and the store was mondo crowded, but I thought this and the pattern and the colors were so cute, I went home and ordered it online. I can't wait to get them and try them on! Now...if only I was as fit as the airbrushed girl in the picture... One can dream, right?

What a week!  We had a belated birthday party for my oldest daughter with family this past weekend, and we are preparing for a SLEEPOVER party Saturday night.  😰  
Here are some of my current favorites:

Favorite #1
Let me preface this favorite by saying that I only get my hair cut 2 or 3 times a year.  With curly, thick hair I have the luxury of going a long time between haircuts.  I went for a haircut today and she also straightened it for me since I do not usually have time to do it myself.  I love it!!  I almost never have straight hair anymore.  It is fun to see my girls' reactions to my "new" look...at least for 24 hours!

I realize in looking at this picture that I need to get my brows done!  I am going to have to plan a trip to the Benefit Brow Bar at Ulta soon!  (I have listed this as one of my favorites in a previous post.)

Favorite #2
One of the parents in my class gave me an RTIC 30 oz tumbler and it has quickly become my favorite cup!  It keeps my water cold and ICE IN THE CUP  for the whole school day.  I have found that I am doing a better job of drinking water throughout the day now.  I also love the cute monogrammed sticker that she added to it for me.  I am a sucker for anything monogrammed.  (Even though my initials spell "tar"!)

Favorite #3
My girls and I love to play board games together.  A new game that we have discovered is Ticket to Ride.  I saw all of the great reviews on Amazon, so I decided to give it to my oldest daughter for her birthday.  It is a lot of fun!  The object of the game is to build railways between cities.  It is a great strategy game that both my 8 and 10 year old enjoy.  This is definitely going to be a go-to game for future game nights.

Favorite #4
My father-in-law gave my oldest daughter an Amazon Echo Dot for her birthday.  We are all enjoying the benefits of having "Alexa" in our lives!  It has a lot of uses, but my family mostly uses it to play music and ask Alexa questions.  You add "skills" to it depending on what you want it to do.  My girls added a animal game skill where Alexa guesses any animal you can think of, a knock knock joke skill, and a random fact skill.  I plan to do more research about the skills that I can add for me as well. We are keeping it in the family room so that we can all use and enjoy it.  I know that we are not taking advantage of all of its capabilities yet, but we are having fun playing with it for now.

  1. Trina- your initials are my husband and kids put together. I've always wanted to make a necklace with their initials as a monogram but it spells out TAR or RAT or ART! :) Looking forward to seeing what's in y'all's makeup drawers!

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 ...
