Friday Favorites- Favorite Holiday Traditions

Oh Friday! How I love thee!! Today, I'm sharing my FAVORITE holiday traditions that we share with our little family of 4. I LOVE this time of the year and the traditions that we have started make it all that more special!

Eek, will you just look at how little they are?!?!

Friday Favorites: Back to School

It's Friday and I'm linking up with Andrea at Momfessionals today to share some of my favorite things from the week!

Friday Favorites

Helloooo Friday!! My week has felt all weird because I took Monday off my regular job and worked in my other office. Tuesdays are usually my late nights and I didn't have any clients, so I was able to leave the office at my normal time! Those two days just really threw everything off for me- every day just didn't seem like the day that it was, if that makes sense! 

I'm linking up with Momfessionals for Friday Favorites, where I share my favorites from the week! 

Friday Favorites: A Bunch of Randomness

Hey Friday! It's so good to see you!! As always, I'm linking up with Andrea over at Momfessionals. This Friday, I have a whole lotta randomness that made my favorites list!

Friday Favorites: Fall Fashion

Hey friends and FRIDAY! Lately, my internet searches have been all things home. And while I love me some good home decor, I've been missing out on the cozy Fall clothing that is happening right now. I thought I'd put together a quick post with my FAVORITE finds so far! As always, I'm linking up with Andrea at Momfessionals! 

This weekend, we have family in town and will be working on unpacking and organizing our garage (we still can't park in it) and the basement. I can't wait to set up the girls playroom- I have some fun ideas for an arts/craft area that I can't wait to show you! We also are giving our deck some TLC by painting it with BEHR- Deckover and I also can't wait to show you the before and after's! Now, back to the fashion guys! 

THIS COAT from Anthropologie

 I mean, I just can't even with this coat. Seriously adorable. But is it adorable enough to drop 300 bucks for? It's gotta go on sale sometime, right?! =) There are only 3 reviews and they aren't great either but still too adorable, am I right?! 

I'm loving all the boots right now. Especially these.

I also like these but they're at a higher price point

These boots are calling my name too...

This scarf is in my cart, ready to go! 

I love Lush shirts and this one is no exception

It's definitely a throw on and go piece- adding a little something in the front but then hangs low in the back, which I love. 

This just looks so comfy. 

I've talked about these pants before but I'm loving this color for Fall especially! I'm liking the winter spruce color too! 

I've been eyeing a vest like this for a few seasons now and just haven't pulled the trigger. This year, might be the year I do!

So, those are just some of my FAVORITE finds so far! What have you added to your closet since the Fall season has begun!? Please share! 

Happy Friday y'all! 

Friday Favorites- SUMMER MOMENTS

We made it to Friday friends!! This week went by pretty fast as I took Monday and Tuesday off from work. We started 1st grade and the response I got when I asked how it went was, "MOM! It was AWESOME! We didn't do any hard work and it was so fun!" Only my child.. =)

I thought I would share some of our FAVORITE Summer moments today as I'm linking up with Andrea at Momfessionals. 

New Summer program for Sophia and new child care for Saidey kicked off our Summer!

Playing in the sand at the beach was a FAVORITE 

Swimming was a FAVORITE this Summer 

Family time at Des Moines Moms Blog event was a FAVORITE

Farmer's Market and grilled cheese with bacon are FAVORITES 

Thelma's Treats is a FAVORITE

Celebrating 4th of July was a FAVORITE 

Yankee Doodle Pops is a FAVORITE tradition

And let's be honest- Italy was a FAVORITE 

You can see posts about our trip here, here, and here! 

Celebrating a special lady's SIXTH birthday was an absolute FAVORITE 

Let's Flamingle!

Selling our house was a FAVORITE (the rest of the process- not so much =) ) 

Visiting the zoo was so much fun! 

American Girl dolls have become a FAVORITE in our house! 

The IOWA STATE FAIR is always a FAVORITE (two times!) 

And finally, celebrating back to school was a FAVORITE moment!

Summer 2016 was sure good to us! We made so many good memories! But Fall- my favorite season- you can come any day now! =)

Happy Friday all! Enjoy the weekend! 

Friday Favorites

We made it to another Friday! I have missed the last several Favorite Friday link ups but I AM BACK! I am now free from all thoughts consumed by showings, negotiations and contracts. But of course, now comes all the packing. 

Anyway, as usual I am linking up with Momfessionals and sharing my favorite moments from this week! 

SOLD!
 Our house sold after being on the market for about 9 days. We had about a showing a day and I'm so glad that part is over. Before we sold, we found a home we really liked- it was three bedrooms, had a fenced in back yard and was in our school district. We decided to go for it and put in an offer with the contingency that ours would sell. They ended up accepting another offer without a contingency three days before our house sold. Talk about a huge letdown and disappointment.

But, once we accepted an offer, we really started house hunting. We fell in LOVE with a home on Sunday and we put in an offer on it that evening. By Monday evening, we had an accepted offer (after a little bit of an emotional roller coaster, but that's a story for a different day)! We are so excited and now that all the negotiations and stress are over, I just want to be moved in already! We close on both homes September 30th. We have a little over a month to pack and I'm already wanting to procrastinate. I wonder how long it would take to pack everything up?? Hmm, probably more than a few days! ;)

RED WHITE AND BLUE
We are LOVING watching the Olympics! It is a FAVORITE for sure! Can you say Michael Phelps and the women's gymnastics team!??! #finalfive

Jen Hatmaker's status updates about the Olympics.. are an absolute FAVORITE

This girl is my FAVORITE

Pinterest
I am always a Pinterest fan but when you are moving into a new home, I can't help but pine over all the pretty images of homes on Pinterest. Check out some of my home inspiration here!




Cat and Jack Clothing Line at Target
If you've been to the kid's section at Target, you probably saw the new line, Cat and Jack. I am in love, it's definitely a new FAVORITE! We might have possibly bought every single item...

Glennon Doyle Melton
I follow Glennon Doyle Melton and I can't wait to read her latest book, Love Warrior! This quote she posted is a FAVORITE

Love Grows best sign...
I've seen this sign a few times and here and there and it's a FAVORITE every time I see it. Let's just say that this sign will most be likely making into the new house...

Lace up flats

I scored these cute flats during the Nordstrom sale and they're a FAVORITE! They will transition wonderfully into the Fall months! I can't wait to wear with them cuffed jeans and a scarf!  I don't see the ones I have online but I linked a pair that are SUPER cute!

There you have it! Some of my favorite things right now! Hope y'all have a fabulous weekend! We're off to get back to school haircuts and run errands!

Happy FRIDAY!
