Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! Our week was filled with yard work, school pictures, dentist appointments, library visits, and every day schedules in between and I couldn't be more thrilled to be going into the weekend with pretty much everything checked off of my to-do list. It's rare around here to have a clean house, grocery shopping done, a lot of the weekly chores taken care of before a Saturday so I'm celebrating! Which really means I'm hoping for lots of play time and enjoying this beautiful weather we've been having along with it! I think my first outside run for the season needs to happen on Saturday morning, what do you say Nic?! ;) Also, can we give my tulips in my front yard a moment because!!!

Before I sign off, I thought I would share a few Friday favorites since it has been a couple months ... 

I got these rain boots for Liam for Easter and he/we love them! They're cute, good quality, and not too clunky. Bonus, he can put them on by himself!

Speaking of rain boots, this has been a few weeks now but Target launched their limited edition line with Hunter boots and I can't tell you how excited I was to get Liam a red pair to match mine at half the price of the originals. The joke was on me though when on launch day I discovered that they were only available in the store and naturally we don't have one in our town. My sister-in-law wanted a pair for my niece too so she offered that morning to check out the Target in her town ... she got there at 10 AM and the cashier told her there was a giant line of moms waiting outside before the store opened and they were sold out in minutes. haha CARAZAY!!

Enough about boots ...

A couple weeks ago, Liam and I both had the stomach flu (Boo!) and usually when Liam is sick, it is impossible to get him to rest. If you find yourself in a similar situation with kids, we love the movie Leap that they added to Netflix! Makes me miss my dancing days. And as for the adults, Nic and I have been loving watching The Office for the first time. What took us so long?! Pam and Jim FOREVER!

We've been sprucing up our yard for the season all week and every year I say I'm going to put a swing on our front porch. But I'm thinking I'll take two of these instead! Love them! Here is an inspiration picture of what it would look like ... cute, right?

I've been getting the itch for a painting project and always thought it would be fun to have a colored front door. Do you think Nic would go for this or this (without the bats haha) on the outside and this on the inside?! Probably not. haha

I originally followed this artist back when she was doing a DIY blog but has since written her first album that she is releasing for Mother's Day. All of the songs are written about the joys and challenges of motherhood and every single one she has shared so far brings me to tears. It is like listening to everything my heart feels for my kids that I never have found the words to say myself. You can listen to one of them in this music video.

Hope your weekend is filled with sunshine wherever you are! XO
