Friday Favorites 1-6-2023

This Friday I'm linking up with some of my very favorite bloggers to share some of my Friday favorites from the week. It was the first week of a new year and filled with getting back into the swing of things. I'm looking forward to (hopefully) a restorative and restful weekend. Happy Friday, friends!

Roe Wellness

My first Friday Favorites is this new belly bundle from Roe Wellness. I religiously used a stretch mark cream during my pregnancy with Sammy and feel it really contributed to my skin recovering from being stretched so far. I was excited to find this belly serum and stretch mark cream from Roe Wellness. It is an all-natural product, and so so so moisturizing. The belly serum goes on super smoothly and the cream has the perfect amount of scent. It goes on smoothly and isn't greasy at all. I would totally recommend this product for any expecting mama.

Gloves in a Bottle

I spent the last day before returning to work in an organizing, purging, and cleaning frenzy. I generally try to wear gloves while I clean but had forgotten on this day, and my hands were super dry and cracked. I've used this lotion before but had run out, so Amazon came to the rescue! This is the very best lotion to use on dry hands this time of year. It's super moisturizing, not greasy and really cures your hands within a few uses. It's definitely a must-have product for this time of year.

Home Chef

I typically don't enjoy a meal subscription and prefer to pick our menu each week and buy ingredients weekly. An influencer on Instagram shared a really good deal for Home Chef, so I decided to give it a shot. This week we enjoyed a prosciutto pasta, bbq tacos and a bbq meatball dish. The ingredients were all super fresh and high-quality and it was really nice not having to think through what was for dinner each night. I don't know that it is something I would do consistently but it definitely simplified our week!

Pajama Pants

My mom gifted all the ladies of the family some pajamas from Soma this year. I got the "Cool Nights" pajama bottoms and they are delightful! I'm finding myself washing them nightly so I can rewear them the next day. They're super soft, cooling, and nice and stretchy around the waistband. Perfect for my growing belly. :) I love them!

I'm off to enjoy the weekend with my boys! Have a great one. :)

Friday Favorites [7-3-2026]

It's Friday, and it's the 4th of July Eve! Sounds pretty good to me. 😉 I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. I'm dipping my toe back into blog world because, well, I am missing documenting my kids' childhoods. It brings me such joy to go back and read through memories from years before documented in old posts, so I'm determined to hang out here a bit more consistently to share life. This summer, I've got a seven (7?!) year old and a new 3 year old. Someone the other day was talking about what a difference a year makes from summer to summer and it is so true. For example, this year Jack and Sammy love to go play together. Last year, both boys required constant supervision. Last year Jack hated going to the pool, and this year he is a little fish! This is a BIG favorite for me! Last weekend Sammy participated in a "Run Hit Pitch" competition and won first place for hitting in his age division. He was so ...

Friday Favorites [7-10-2026]

It's Friday! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. Here we go! Easy favorite was our Fourth of July! We had a festive day - we went to our parade in the morning and hosted a party in the evening. Look at these cute boys! Big fan of fireworks and sparklers over here. Sammy's favorite from the week was the visiting frogs and axolotls to our local library. He has big dreams of owning an axolotl - he's done extensive research 😉 - but we've come to the conclusion that the age of 14 seems reasonable to own an axolotl. Haha. He was very excited to see them up close and in person! Our slow mornings of a cold brew + the boys playing in the basement are my FAVORITE for sure! I love these days. Roo's favorite was easily sitting on my lap while I read outside. If you see a dachshund shaped tan line on my legs, no you don't. 😅 I have been eating this High Protein Chicken Salad on repeat for lunches! It i...

Friday Favorites [6-14-2024]

I hate to be the one to point it out...but how in the world is June almost halfway over?! I would like to hit the "slow down" button on summer, please. 😉 Like usual, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from our week. Here we go! You'll notice that many of my "favorites" are food related this week. One of the reasons I love summer is that the cooking is easy, and I can take some time making things I typically wouldn't have time for. Wednesday evening we grilled pork chops and I was hunting for a side dish. I found the ingredients for taco dip and we gobbled it right up. Taco dip is basically a salad, yes? Jack (and big brother!) have been loving water play this summer. It has been extra warm this week, so it's been a great way to beat the heat. We had burgers this week using my very favorite recipe . This meal is probably one of Dustin's most loved meals! Ugh. I love watermelon. I ate SO MUCH of it during my preg...
