Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!  I’m more than excited to know when I wake up tomorrow morning I have NOWHERE I need to be!  We have enjoyed three amazing weekends in a row away from home and while we had so much fun it was exhausting.  Three of us have been battling a teeny summer cold this week and the laundry has piled up.  My house did get cleaned this week but I’m almost afraid to open drawers and closets because I’m pretty sure to get ready for someone to clean I literally just shoved all the crap into hiding.

Oh, and maybe we will find a fun way to celebrate Keith since it is Father’s Day weekend!  I’m giving him the gift of bonding with his son and letting him accompany Dillon to 7 on 7 football on Saturday.  Hoping to gather with our besties for a meal and some family time on Sunday.

We all know the struggle is real many days and I shared some of my recent struggles on Tuesday!  I loved reading This Stage of Life?  It’s Hard To and couldn’t stop laughing and nodding the whole way through.

 Y’all, Pic Monkey now has curved and circle text!! I haven’t made a graphic in a few weeks and had no clue so this may be old news but it’s NEW to me.  I seriously might lose my mind over this!  Okay, maybe my life isn’t quite that boring but, y’all, this is so fun!  After you create some text you simply click on effect and the option is there to create either circle or curve text!

Fresh flowers always, always make me happy!  I needed avocados one day this week and as I walked into Kroger the flowers were calling my name.  I bought several bunches and put together some simple arrangements in mason jars to display in our bathrooms and living space and it just brightened up the rooms!

Date night!  Y’all, I do not even remember the last time I had this guy all to myself for dinner.  It’s been so long that I am pretty sure I talked non stop and I’m not sure he got any words in…oops.  I drive him nuts, I’m quite certain, but he still always looks at me like this and I know he even loves my crazy.  Date your husband ladies!  It’s so, so hard when the kids and the responsibilities of being a wife have zapped all our your energy but protecting the relationship between you and your spouse is huge.

Loving how this outfit came together!  I put this skirt on in early March and it was a huge fail and was such an eye opener.  Y’all, I’m all about accepting yourself but I have no room in my budget to replace my entire closet.  On Thursday I pulled it out to try and was so excited it not only fit but fit comfortably!  I love this top which is on sale but only remains in limited color and size options. If you love this color (which is really more orange than it looks in this picture), here is another really cute option by the same brand and also on sale.  You can see these Target sandals are still going strong!  I ordered quite a few things to try from the Nordstrom half yearly sale and below are the keepers.  I was shocked the ruffle tank was flattering on me and was perfect for layering under a cardigan for work and I cannot say enough about the Maggy London wrap dress. The pattern I ordered is slightly different but the fabric is heavy and I feel like the style will be universally flattering on pretty much anyone.  We’ve already discussed these heels many times as they are similar to a pair I already own and wear so much I decided I needed a back up.
