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. :)

The Brisel family is OFF!

I'm so excited to share that our family is celebrating the holiday season at our very favorite place...Disney World! This trip has been a long time coming. We have been saving and planning for over a year, and yesterday we [yes we...Santa doesn't get credit for this one 😉] surprised our boys with a trip to Disney World for their Christmas gift. Disney is truly Dustin and my happy place, so we couldn't be more excited to bring the boys!  While we're gone I plan to blog about our trip, so I'm hoping to share an update tomorrow evening. For some who may not know, I am working my way through the certification process of becoming a Smart Moms Travel Agent, which is a travel company that specializes in trips to Disney World. I'm hopeful that it might turn into a fun hobby that lets me share a little bit of my Disney knowledge with other families. 😊 I thought blogging our trip would be a fun resource to share with future clients! For a little recap of today... We wer...

Disney World: Day 5 Recap

Rest days are a necessity for any Disney vacation, no matter the length of your trip. 😉 We have been pushing it and hoofing it all over Disney World, so we were overdue! Our plans today included a character breakfast with Minnie and her friends, spending time at the pool, and a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Both boys slept in until 7:00 which was amazing! We got dressed and ready and began our way towards Cape May Cafe located at The Beach Club Resort. We took the Skyliner from our resort to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, we had about a 5 minute walk to our restaurant. Super easy!  This character meal is one of the lesser known options for character dining. We've done character dining at Topolino's Terrace (amazing!), Tusker House and Chef Mickey's, so we were excited to try something different. Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy are all dressed in their beach attire, and make their way around the restaurant several times. You're also able to do a ...

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!
