Happy Friday!!! I am a little late in writing today’s post (writing it Friday morning actually) because….

I am HOOKED on this book! I grabbed this book from our local library and texted some friends to see who wanted to read it with me and have a little book club dinner meet up this month. I started it earlier this week and it was a little slow to start. Of course, I panicked and thought I had picked a terrible book for my friends to read. BUT it’s gotten so much better that I stayed up past 10 PM reading last night which is why I didn’t get this post written! It’s a little spicy and does have some language so far. I’d say it’s a FAVORITE right now and I’m hoping once I finish the book (hopefully this weekend!!), that it stays a favorite!!!

Okay, my next FAVORITE is a MAJOR FAVORITE!! I am over the Stanley cup. I really only preferred it over my Yeti because it was bigger and had a handle. But I didn’t like that I was drinking out of a plastic straw and it could leak. Enter the Era 40 oz. I am really OBSESSED with this cup because IT DOES NOT LEAK. All I have to do it lock the straw and I can throw it in my bag because my hands are always full (see one year old pictured above 🙂 haha). It still fits in my cup holder, has a rubber bottom that is much quieter to put down than my Stanley, and the straw inside is metal while the outside straw is silicone. Honestly though, the best part is the fact that it’s spill proof when the straw is locked. If you’re a mom of young kids like me, this is a must. Or if you’re a teacher bringing your water every day, this will be great to throw in your school bag each morning and not have to carry it and everything else.

This big boy and I got some one-on-one time this week when I had to take him to the pediatric ENT for his tonsil consult. I brought the book I mentioned above and was able to read while we sat in the waiting room. I can’t believe he will start kindergarten in August! I feel like it was just yesterday when Dustin and I hopped on a plane to fly to Texas to meet our son and now I’m going to be sending him off to kindergarten. He also asked to play soccer again this fall, so we will be doing that again!
Okay, I’m off to put Merritt down for her first nap and then do some laundry before we go outside to play with the water table! I hope y’all have a great weekend!
It sounds like you are really enjoying your book and that Stanley cup sounds great!
Aww! Your boy is just adorable. They grow up so fast!
Adding this book to my list!
I’ve never heard of those Era cups, but I’m going to look into them. I do love my Stanley but it would be really nice to be able to lock the straw!!
The spill proof is what sold me!
I gave up on the straw cup…with young kids outside in the summer, juggling a straw cup is TOO much and one more thing to carry lol. I just got an Owala bottle to throw in my bag. I like my Simple Modern straw cup for school because it doesn’t leak either!
I’m going to have to check that book out! I stayed up late reading last night too; I’m currently reading The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren and it’s gotten so fun and funny.
