Popping in a day late with some Friday Favorites/Lucky Finds. I hope you had a great Valentine's Day on Thursday, and have a fun weekend ahead of you. Valentine's was mostly about the kids for us, but Steve and I did exchange cards and candy and he surprised me with flowers! The girls had fun opening their little goodies. We're heading to a 2nd birthday party today and otherwise using the weekend to relax and catch up a bit. It's been a whirlwind February so far!
I've had a ton of fun stuff bookmarked lately to share with you, so wanted to do that today. Get ready for the most random list of favorites ever:
-Are you following Jennifer Garner on Instagram? What a treat! Haha. She's actually hilarious and real and refreshing -- in a world of "perfect," it's so nice! Who are your favorite celebs to follow on the 'gram?
-Speaking of Instagram, I've occasionally been sharing step by step recipes of dinners as I make them on my stories -- like the Cuban sandwiches I made on Tuesday (the linked recipe isn't the exact I used, but close enough). Are you guys into that, or nah? I've heard some great feedback so far but wanted to check here.
-With the weather we've been having lately (ugh), I am so ready for spring and my first stop (as always) is shoes. I'm really digging slides this year. Here's a pair on the pricier side I'm in love with, and here's a steal from Target. $12.99, y'all.
-Loved this OpEd in the New York Times about the upside to allowing kids to be bored. Would love to hear your take!
-My kids are obsessed with these Chobani Giimmies yogurt tubes. I love that it has a little extra protein than a typical yogurt.

-I need a new book to read and found this book review from a blogger I follow helpful!
-Have any of you bought/sold on Poshmark? I've been hearing more about it and am curious about how it works.
-I read this little blurb about how Joanna Gaines feels and deals with mom guilt and did a little happy dance in my head. I love when moms share this kind of thing, because it makes others feel less alone.
-Target's spring home line. OMG. I am resisting the urge to re-do my entire house.
-J.Crew & J.Crew Factory are having great President Day sales this weekend, with 40% off and 60% off respectively. A great time to grab some spring goodies!
Have a great weekend!

I loved that NYT oped about boredom! Thanks for sharing! I am a firm believer in boredom = creativity. But man, it is SO hard as a parent to deal with the whining!
ReplyDeleteI loved it too! So glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely hard! I find the more they expect, though, the more they seem to whine if that makes sense. ;) I think it's good for all of us -- kids and adults -- to be able to be content entertaining ourselves/using our imaginations a bit! Hope you're having a great weekend, xo
