Friday Favorites

Anyone else's week seem to FLY by?!! I have a feeling this will be the case as we countdown these final weeks until our little girlfriend joins our family! We've been checking off several projects on the "nesting" list including finally finishing her dresser so I spent nap time today moving all of her tiny newborn clothes into the drawers (ah, they are SO tiny, including newborn diapers)!!

Also on the list of things I hope to accomplish this weekend ... an organizing, cleaning, and purging of our basement (Liam has gotten sand from his sandbox everywhere down there and I hate knowing in the back of my mind that we are hanging on to a bunch of crap we don't need) and a family photoshoot. I'm probably crazy to try to taking the pictures ourselves but we're going to give it a shot! I don't have any maternity pictures from Liam's pregnancy anyway (a sad story for another day) and so I don't really have huge expectations, just want to keep it simple. Our last family pictures were taken in October, almost a year ago, so I'd like to get a few of us three before a fourth member joins our family. Liam will be starting preschool here in a few weeks (CRAZY!) and his teacher also wants a cute headshot of him to go in his very own binder so I want to capture one of those too. Before jumping into the weekend, just wanted to share a few Friday favorites including a peek at her dresser! ;)

First of all, the color we painted the dresser is Pink Elephant by Behr and it is the perfect pale pink with a peachy undertone and the knobs are from here!! I love it!

We've been on the hunt for a double jogging stroller all summer and were lucky enough to find a neighbor selling her gently used one yesterday! It's an InStep and so far it has been great!

Land of Nod is having their site wide 20% off Friends & Family sale this weekend and I'm having to hold myself back from getting this rug to complete baby girl's room.

I wore this non-maternity dress for my baby shower last weekend and plan to wear it again for maternity/family pictures this weekend. It's so beautiful in person!

I came across this quote this week and haven't stopped thinking about it since ... "Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful, magical humans on earth, for what they believe is what they will become." - Brooke Hampton ... As a mom, I not only want Liam to believe he is absolutely that but so much MORE because in my eyes, it couldn't describe him more perfectly. 

Happy Weekend, Friends! XO
