Friday Favorites: 3/26/21

Hi!!! It’s been a busy week with A LOT happening so this was the only post I could get done. Let’s go ahead and jump into my favorites from the week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea: Just so you know, my favorite finds are usually things that I love, bring me joy, something I have seen, or things from everyday life. It’s nothing fancy and most of the time my pictures are not the best quality. However, I hope you will find inspiration, something new, or we can just bond over a fave! ONE: C was needing new shorts and Wal-Mart did not have anything. So, I went to my next favorite place...Old Navy. I selected a few staples for him which should last through the fall. We bought these in the past and they hold up nicely. They were only $6. TWO: Easter snuck up on me and I just decorated this week. I kept it simple this year but seeing the decorations has been a favorite! Now, I am looking at finding an activity for C that explains why we celebrate Easter THREE: I needed a few be

HEY, HEY!!! We made it through another week and I am SO ready for the weekend! Anyone else? I am going to blame the time change on wreaking havoc on my kiddos this week. 😬 Just so you know, my favorite finds are usually things that I love, bring me joy, something I have seen, or things from everyday life. It’s nothing fancy and most of the time my pictures are just real life over here. However, I hope you will find inspiration, something new, or we can just bond over a fave! Linking up with Erika and Andrea: We got these pretzels at Wal-Mart on a whim and we are loving them! I zap them for 60 seconds, melt butter to put on top and add some sea salt. Yummy! There is probably a cheese dip that would go great with these but I havent researched that far. HA! Another fave was an early Easter package from my cousin. She sent the boys all kinds of great goodies. We loved everything and it made our week! I did a little Target drive up and I added some pampering items for myself.

Tuesday Talk: Nails

March 16, 2021

Happy Tuesday, y’all! The sun is shining and it feels like it is going to be a great week! It’s time for Tuesday Talk! This is always fun because we can share whatever we want and still get to link up with other fun bloggers. Today I wanted to discuss all the cute manicures I keep seeing on everyone BUT more specifically the really cute nail strip/ sticker options! Before Covid, I would only get a mani/ pedi for special occasions or just every once in awhile for a little pampering. I think the last mani/ pedi was right before D was born in August 2019. 😳 I keep seeing people (on Fb and Insta) with really cute nails. Different nail colors on each finger, glitter and designs! What?!?! I don’t have time to spend an hour at the nail salon so I really feel like the nail strip option is what this mama needs. I have researched a little but thought I would ask here too. I have really small fingernails so should I consider a kid option. Color Street, Target brand or Wal- Mart?!! Ama

10 questions-One year of the pandemic

March 15, 2021

HAPPY MONDAY! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! The Queen in Between shared some questions last week about the pandemic which made me want to join her in answering them today. These came from a podcast from Laura Tremaine. Here are the questions! 1. What was life like in early 2020? In early 2020, I was adjusting to being back at work after maternity leave. Being a mom with a 2 year old and 5 month old was hard but we were figuring it out. We weren’t really going places because D was so little and our biggest worry was him getting sick with the flu. 2. What was the biggest change? The biggest change when Covid hit was adjusting to working from home with 2 small children. D was 7 months at the time. 3. What were your coping mechanisms? I did not have the best coping mechanisms during this time. In fact, I began to have anxiety and couldn’t eat, wasn’t sleeping, and I was just overwhelmed a lot of the time. Work was demanding and trying to take care of kids at the same
