Favorites on a Tuesday!!!

Happy Tuesday!

It’s so funny how I thought during my maternity leave that I would have all the time to blog and read books and watch Netflix series, and now I’m laughing at myself.  If Harrison’s asleep then I’m either trying to sleep or I’m trying to keep up with laundry and washing 500 million bottles.  

I wouldn’t trade my current life situation for anything though!

So without rambling further, let me share my FAVORITES with you!

ONE
I love wearing lipstick.  I can be having a bad day and pick up a new tube of lipstick and forget all my troubles for a while.  It may sound shallow but it makes me happy!  I recently went to the Mac counter at Belk and asked for a pink lipstick that I could wear every day that would also look good with my skin tone.  The girl pulled a tube from the “frosty” section and I immediately flashed back to junior high make up.  But I trusted her and bought it–and it’s been a spring favorite!  It does NOT go on frosted and the color lasts!  The color is called Fabby.

 One of my friends (and coworker) had a baby boy three weeks before Harrison was born and we’ve been on maternity leave at the same time.  We’ve been able to meet for lunch a few times and it’s been so fun pretending to be a stay at home mom together haha!!!  Last week was her last week off before going back to school so we met for lunch and I had to snap this of these future besties.  They will be at the same preschool when Harrison starts in August!

 And another Harrison picture BECAUSE I AM SO OBSESSED.  Isn’t he the most perfect baby?!  I kiss him so much and I know if he could talk he would tell me it’s enough haha!

Sunday was the conclusion of all of Harrison’s baby showers with a Sip and See at my house.  (I chose not to do showers before because I was scared of a failed adoption–and now I’m glad I waited.)  We had the best time and Harrison slept the entire time just like that haha!  I will do a post on the Sip and See (hopefully) tomorrow because it was so cute!  And you can find my dress here!  Harrison is wearing Auraluz.

Simple Joys no. 1

One of my very favorite podcasts to listen to, Journeywomen, always ends with Hunter the host asking her guest to list three simple joys.  I love it because it gives you a neat way to get to know the guest and learn what brings her joy. 



So today I want to share a few of my simple joys with y’all!

-a hot shower

-laying in bed watching tv while it rains

-reading a good book

-a freshly bathed baby


What are some of your simple joys?

Friday Faves!

Happy Friday!!!  Dustin is off of work this weekend so we plan on packing it full of family time!

Today I’m sharing all of my FAVORITES from this week with y’all!

ONE

I hate to put this above Harrison, BUT Harry and Meghan have their own Instagram and are posting pictures the public have not seen before.  I love this one of Harry and Meghan in Africa putting a tracker on an elephant.  If you haven’t followed them yet, follow them at @sussexroyal

Every blogger I know is doing the Faster Way to Fat Loss (FWTFL) program and it’s actually a program that works!  I had signed up to start round 1 on March 4, but then Harrison surprised us all so my coach was gracious enough to let me start the next round.  So I’m starting April 15 and I’m excited.  I know two friends from college who are doing it and both have had major success and have said it’s super easy.  That’s what I’m looking forward to, so be on the lookout for FWTFL mentions after I get started!  Email me if you’re interested in learning more or knowing who my coach is!  (saraheshaneyfelt@gmail.com)

 I had my first baby shower last Sunday with all of my teacher and book club friends!  My friend Hailey hosted at her home and it was such a beautiful shower!  The cake matched the invitation and the only thing not pictured on the table is the iced sugar cookies that a coworker made and were absolutely gorgeous and tasty!


 Harrison got so many great things!!!


FOUR
 This is the beautiful hostess!!  We both teach seventh grade English together and I don’t know what I would do without her!  We graduated high school together but now that we actually work and teach together, we have become best friends–it’s nice to work with someone you love!  And she reads my blog, so Hey Hailey!!!



FIVE
Pictures of Harrison because he is my ultimate FAVORITE!  I can’t get over how beautiful he is and the fact that he is such a good baby!
 He loves to sleep with his arms up.


 Those eyes 


 I had just finished feeding him and we were staring at each other.  I love it when he just looks at me!


I’m starting to transition him into newborn clothes.  I love these jammies because they are so soft, but they are still too big on him haha!!  The preemie clothes have gotten a little small and newborn is still too big.


-Want an eye cream that will actually work and not break the bank?  I’ve gone through two containers of this eye cream and am about to order my third.  It brightens, hydrates, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!

-I realized I’ve never mentioned this hair product that I use.  I get LOTS of comments about my hair, and it’s so funny because my hair is colored and naturally thick and coarse.  But I do a lot to take care of my hair and it’s the healthiest it’s ever been.  On days that I wash my hair, I put this oil on towel dried hair on the ends of my hair to halfway up.  On days that I don’t wash my hair, I put this oil on the bottom half of my hair either after I straighten it or curl it.  It doesn’t weigh your hair down either!


Have a great weekend!!!!
