Friday Favorites

-Desserts Skittles- 
I am not ashamed to admit that we have been using candy as a reward in potty training. Sawyer likes to have a blue and pink skittle any time she goes potty. I'm not a huge skittles fan...chocolate is more my style but I can't help but sneak a few of these every once in a while. 

-Snickerdoodle Creamer- 


Say hello to my new favorite coffee creamer. 


-Parenthood-


If you don't already watch Parenthood, you need to get started on that A.S.A.P. Thanks to my friend Lacey, I'm hooked! I blew through seasons 1-5 on Netflix and caught up on season 6 on Hulu. Parenthood is more real than any of these "reality" shows on air right now. I love that I can relate to at least one character every single episode. Plus you just can't beat Coach Fox ;)

-Matilda Jane Good Luck Trunk- 

A little less than a year ago, I made my first Matilda Jane purchase. I never expected to love MJ as much as I do, but you just can't beat the quality and unique pieces. I am so excited about the spring release in February and can't wait to see everything! Right now Matilda Jane has moved most of their pieces from previous collections into their Good Luck Trunk and the prices are ridiculously low! I've already shopped through the Good Luck Trunk twice and am trying to fight over going back for round 3. 


50% off these Eggshell Big Ruffles...yes please!


LOVE these Cobblestone Finn pants


Sawyer has this Aurora sweater jumper and the Monet ruffles and I didn't even think about pairing the two of them together until now :)

I have been flirting with the idea of hosting a trunk show, so if you are interested in Matilda Jane and would like to come see some pieces in person OR would be interested in ordering online. Let me know!

Friday Favorites

I had all intentions of getting back to blogging on Thanksgiving break--obviously that didn't happen. So I had every intention of starting back up on Christmas break--didn't exactly happen as planned either. So here I am, starting off the New Year FINALLY blogging again. I made a list of goals for the new year and one of those goals is to blog twice a week (I'm trying to be realistic).

This Friday is definitely bittersweet since we go back to school on Monday-- I've loved having the time off, but I'm ready for our family to be back on our routine. Stay at home mommas...I have so much respect for you! Being at home with a 1 year old and 2 year old each day for two weeks has not been anywhere near as productive as I had planned on it being. I may just throw in the towel on trying to be productive on breaks for the next year or two. 

I'm linking up with Andrea, Erika, and Narci today to share my Friday Favorites. 




I've been using this for about two months now and I love it! In the winter months my face dries out pretty easily so I always try to find something that gives me extra moisture without making me oily. I switch off between this and Nerium every other night. My skin seems to drink this moisturizer up without leaving any residue like other creams I've tried in the past. A little goes a long way too because I'm only about half way through the jar and I've been using it every other night for two months. 


2. Starbucks Chestnut Praline Latte

I don't have much more to say than...AMAZING. That is all.



If you love gemstone and/or druzy jewelry, you will LOVE Wrenn Jewelry. I am loving this necklace with a D initial and then add the long bar with our anniversary on it. 



Follow wrennjewelry on instagram to see all their jewelry. I like seeing the items on there since I can see them on actual customers and then check out their website for ordering. My wish list grows every time I get on instagram and see what people have on. 

4. Blanket Scarves



I have been dying to get my hands on one of those blanket scarves that I see all over pinterest and the blogs I follow. Our local boutique, Groovy's has had such a hard time keeping them in stock because they fly off the shelves and sell out online quicker than your fingers can put it in the shopping cart. I actually JUST got a text message from Sara (Our Groovy's gal) that she got two blanket scarves for Melanie and me. I may have squealed just a little. Thank you Sara, you're AMAZING!!! Groovy's goes above and beyond for their customers :) 
If you are local and you haven't been to Groovy's you should get your booty there ASAP and if you aren't local check out their website here
