Happy Friday!! Whew! What a week it has been haha! It started off Sunday with Harrison waking up with a stomach bug and throwing up all day long, and it ended yesterday with me recovering from the stomach flu! Thankfully it was just me and Harrison who got sick and not Dustin and Banks.

Today I’m sharing some of my FAVORITES with y’all, so let’s get started!

ONE

Shrinking is my FAVORITE tv show right now! If you have Apple TV and love Ted Lasso, you’ll love Shrinnking! It’s executive produced by and written by the guy who plays Roy on Ted Lasso. The humor is so dry and witty, and each episode has me laughing out loud. Jason Segal and Harrison Ford play therapists who work in the same practice and while they help their patients work through personal problems, they are also going through their own personal problems.

Harrison turned FOUR on Monday!!! I can’t believe he’s already four years old–he is growing so fast and is getting so big. He’s incredibly smart and such a great big brother to Banks!

This picture is from last Easter, and I wanted to talk about Harrison’s Easter basket! I LOVE it! I ordered Banks’s basket not too long ago and it came in and I cannot wait to fill these up! I ordered Banks’s the exact same as Harrison’s–same liner, font type, and font color. It’s such a classic looking basket that we’ll use forever and you will love them, too!

This has been my FAVORITE breakfast as of late–Siete tortillas, 1 egg with some liquid egg whites added, and cheese melted on the tortilla. So so good and filling. I will miss this when I have to go back to school. I’m not sure if it’ll work to pre-make these since you have to heat up the siete tortillas before eating.

FIVE

I used the last of my Christmas money to buy another pair of these shorts. My first pair I got for Mother’s Day last year, and I LOVE THEM! Yes, they are on the expensive side, but in my experience, my Lululemon clothes last much longer than my cheaper ones–it’s one of those “you pay for what you get” kind of things. I ordered the light blue pair and they are arriving today!

Happy Friday!! Even though we are in the thick of the newborn days (Banks is 3 weeks old), I feel like I am finally coming up for air. I feel like we’ve finally landed on a formula and bottle that works for his tummy, so that makes a much happier baby.

Let’s go ahead and get to my FAVORITES from this week!!

ONE

This is a collage of Banks and Harrison at the same age–except Harrison was born premature so he was much smaller than Banks is now. For those who are new, I’m only a mom by the grace of God and through the gift of another woman. Adoption is not something I thought about when I was a young girl dreaming of being a mom, but now it’s something that I could never picture my life without–I wouldn’t get to be a mom to these beautiful boys without it and they would never be brothers without adoption. Soli Deo Gloria–For Glory to God Alone!

I ordered Banks an Easter basket this week to match Harrison’s Easter basket. Both boys have the cream liner and their name monogrammed in cornflower blue. These baskets are beautiful in person and great quality! And they are also on sale currently! I really wanted timeless baskets when I was looking for Harrison’s–something that I could use when he was a baby, but also something I could use when he was 18 haha! These baskets will really stand the test of time–and they are on sale!!!

I’ve got spring weather on my mind with our rather warmer days here lately. This Lake nightgown is my favorite thing to sleep in and I’m ready to add another one to my collection! I really changed my way of thinking about what I slept in each night after reading a post from Do Say Give about nighttime wear. Go check it out if you haven’t! (By the way, I order my normal size and dry it. It does shrink but not to where it’s tight on me. Order a size up if you want it looser)

I’ve talked about my Ember mug before, but wow, I really need it these days. It takes me a LOOOOONG time to drink coffee some mornings and it’s nice to take a sip, put my cup down, and 30 minutes later take another sip and my coffee is still nice and hot. I feel like this is such a luxury item (which is why it was my Christmas present), but it’s really come in handy! I’ve even taken it in the car with me in the morning to drop Harrison off at school haha

I hope y’all have a great weekend! We have our first social worker visit tonight. I really like our social worker so these visits are always great!
