Friday Favorites

Friday Faves!

Friday, April 5, 2019

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!

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!!!

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!!!!

Friday Faves!!

Friday, March 29, 2019

Friday Faves is one of my FAVORITE posts to write each week, so I’m glad to be participating today! I would have gotten it done last night like I normally do, but by the time we got done bathing Harrison and put him down, I was exhausted haha!

I have LOTS of things to share with y’all today so let’s get started!

ONE

Harrison turned one month old on Wednesday and I have no idea how time flew so fast! Since he was born 5 weeks premature, he weighed 4lb 7oz at birth and was 17 inches long. On Wednesday he was 6lb 10oz and 19 3/4 inches long! I couldn’t believe it! I knew he had grown but I was still thinking he was in the 5 pound club haha. We’re still wearing preemie clothes because the newborn clothes really are still too big on him. I don’t want to wish this size away because he’s the cutest, but I’m also ready for him to be able to wear all of the cute clothes hanging in his closet lol!

TWO

When we got the phone call a little over a week ago that we were allowed to leave Texas, we quickly booked plane tickets for a flight that was 2.5 hours out and literally RUSHED to get to the airport to get home. Our families and friends were at our house waiting on us to meet Harrison and my sister took a few pictures…

Rachel and my BIL Nick met us at the airport to put some of our luggage in their car. I’m still driving a car and when we were headed to the airport to fly out on March 1, we realized quickly that we needed an suv immediately. I’ve wanted to go back to an suv the past few years but it wasn’t really a “need” and my car was finally paid for, so I told Dustin we would wait until we had a baby to upgrade. Well, since Harrison was such a surprise, we need an suv sooner rather than later, so we’ve now started to research the ones I like and find something that’s in the budget we have set for ourselves.

Mom met us out in the garage because she could not wait any longer haha!

About a month and a half ago, I used an old gift card to grab some new jeans. These are BY FAR my FAVORITE jeans. Our travel day to Texas was literally an all day event because of delays, and normally I would want to wear leggings and tennies. But these jeans were super comfortable. They are thick but not too thick so you feel supported and they are like leggings. They are pricey (I do like to spend more on jeans) but I may never buy from another brand again!

FOUR

Since I’m washing my hands constantly, a good lotion is a must. I got this from Dustin for Christmas and I’m using it all the time!

FIVE

I was telling my friend Julie the other day how I watch Rachel Parcell’s IG stories and die laughing at how hilarious she and her sisters are together. Does that make me lame? Maybe 😜 but they literally make me laugh out loud! Yesterday they went wedding dress shopping for her sister Megan and I laughed so hard watching the stories. Either they really are hilarious or it’s the sleep deprivation ha!!

And her Nordstrom line releases soon and I can’t wait to order a dress for Easter!! Yay for free shipping and free returns!!!

Friday FAVES!

Friday, February 15, 2019

Hey, Hey, it’s Friday!!!!! I’m so excited because we’ve got a three day weekend ahead since Monday is a weather day for my school system!! Woohoo!!

I’ve got a few FAVES to share with y’all today!!

Last weekend Dustin was off work, so we left Saturday morning for a day trip to Nashville since we don’t live too far away. We had the best time and found a new FAVORITE restaurant–Edley’s BBQ in the 12th South neighborhood. Dustin’s even talking about the next time we go back haha!

I tried my hand at making an acai bowl, but mine didn’t turn out thick enough. I didn’t like it, but Dustin did! I took a few bites/sips since it was liquidy, and he ate the rest and loved it! I’ve got to give it another try and use a frozen banana instead of a regular one. I think that will help.

This picture popped up on my Facebook memories from Monday and it has me wishing we had snow like this again!! This was the year both my sister and I got married, so it was a fun last good snow living at home. We put on our warmest clothes and played outside all morning with our mom.

Wednesday was our first sunny day in a while, so I went over to my dad’s after school to run in his neighborhood. He ended up riding his bike while I ran and that was so nice! Afterward, Dustin wanted to go try out the new burger place in town, so we went early since I knew they would be packed. It was a fun, impromptu date night!

All I wanted for Valentine’s Day was for Dustin to cook dinner so we didn’t have to go out to eat. I requested the exact same meal he made last year, so he did just that! He plated the meal so well, that I had to take a picture! And now I’ve got half of a filet mignon to eat today at school for lunch!

For dessert, he made chocolate covered strawberries! I ate about 5-6 haha!! (You can see in the top where he tried to drizzle white chocolate over it, but he burned it in the microwave)

I don’t think I’ve ever shared about my FAVORITE sheets here on the blog, but my FAVE sheets are made locally–which makes it even better!! Last February, Dustin surprised me with this sheet set since I had been talking about wanting some. The only thing keeping me from getting a set was the price–they were more than I really wanted to spend on sheets. But after getting a pair, I have realized how they are worth every single penny! The cotton is grown locally by a family we personally know, and then they’ve matched the creation of the sheets to heirloom sheets they own from generations past–because we all know that things made a long time ago are better quality. These sheets get better with each wash, and we will probably never sleep on anything but these sheets! Go read the reviews on these sheets–they are amazing. And then order yourself a set and tell me how you love them!

**We have the Bankhead Basics fitted and flat sheet.

**We have the Heirloom Classic pillowcases.
