My Favorite Things this Week

Favorite products of the week are:

1.  Smashbox eyeliner palette

Connor’s new sheets from Zulily that I got for less than $15 bucks! So cute!
They are from a company called Olive Kids

OMG ya’ll.  This drink works!  It’s called Urban Detox by Function and it literally is like a colon cleanse.  Next time I find these in the store I am stocking up because they are always sold out.  And bonus = it tastes awesome!

 And last, but not least, I give you the progression of a hungry child :

Hope ya’ll are having a fab day!!!

The other day I got Connor a sucker at the drugstore.  It was bunny teeth.  The thing was so big he could hardly fit it in his mouth, but he sure did enjoy it!

Lots of Starbucks this week…I am working late today.  I want to get “sort of” caught up before I leave on vacation….so excited and prepare for picture overload when we get back because you know I am snap happy 🙂

If you haven’t tried these gems you need to ASAP!  Bumpy Nerds have returned, but ever since I found this one bag I haven’t been able to find another one so news must be out that these bumpy babies are back in stock…..

Last weekend we went to REI.  Terence loves that store and they were having a major clearance going on their winter stuff.  We got Connor the blue vest on the left for less than $5 & the down filled vest on the right for around $13!  Score!  (Lets hope they fit next year too)

 I saw this ferris wheel for your Easter eggs at JoAnns the other day.  Is this not the cutest thing ever???

And last, but not least….my favorite tea ever!  Teavana makes the most awesome teas & they can also make you a tea in the store.  Hot or iced.  I got some sort of mango wellness tea and it was divine!  Definitely going back soon.

It’s a Party!

This weekend we celebrated Connor’s twin cousin’s birthday 🙂

He and Ellie were born 22 hours apart!  She celebrated her birthday a little bit early and we are doing Connor’s birthday a little bit late this year.  She’s such a sweetie and we are so blessed she and Connor get to spend every day together while I’m at work.  They love each other so much!

The rest of the weekend we spent cleaning the house, running errands, and we took Connor to the playground for awhile.  He loves the slide and swing!

Yesterday I did not get out of my jammies or put makeup on.  I just threw on shoes and a jacket to go to the park.  I fear this is what I might look like if I didn’t have to get dressed for work every day! Yikes!

 We visited our ducky friends
 These ducks had no fear…they just walked right up to you.  Kind of scary if you ask me!

Hope ya’ll had a good weekend too!

Birchbox Makeup Linkup

I’m linking up with all the gals who get Birchboxes every month.  I always wonder what everyone else gets!  Some months are good, some months are a fail.  LINK UP HERE.
But the majority of the time the box is always worth more than the $10 you pay for it :
What I got :

  • Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant®

    Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant®

    $50.00

  • Eye Rock Designer Liner

    Eye Rock Designer Liner

    $13.00

  • Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint

    Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint

    $38.00

    • My favorite thing this month was the beautyblender.  I just don’t see myself paying $25 for two makeup sponges though?

    I also subscribe to My Glam Bag…which is similar to Birchbox & it’s also $10 a month.
    I talked more about that HERE
    I love makeup.  And I love the fact that I can sample a lot of it before buying and play with it at a great price 🙂  Can’t wait to see what everyone else got!

    Mr Bunny Boy

    One of my best friends in Arkansas started a business making the cutest kids clothing.  She sent Connor this adorable bunny shirt!  Isn’t it the cutest thing ever??? Thank you Auntie Kristin!

    She’s also the nicest person you’ll ever meet!

    I decorate this one area of my counter as the seasons change.  I found this cute printable on Pinterest of course and it seemed right up my alley!  It has all the different kinds of coffees 🙂  Cute eh?

    How’s ya’lls weekend going? I am excited to have tomorrow off and another day to relax…but part of me wants to deep clean the house because I never have a chance to.  Connor and Terence are off to the store now getting supplies so hopefully we’ll knock this spring cleaning ordeal off the list!

    Have a great Sunday ya’ll!
    I’m going to go scrub floors now….eh….

    Fabulous Friday

    I’m in full blown party planning mode right now for this little dude’s 2nd birthday.  Between the party and our upcoming trip, work, and day to day stuff it doesn’t leave much time!!! 

    We got his birthday shirt in the mail yesterday.  Mary Kate did a fabulous job!  I have several friends that do monogramming and I like to support all of them 🙂

    I’m really enjoying wearing scarves this winter….it’s hard for me to even say winter.  What winter???  We haven’t had one!  And thanks to several Pinterest tutorials I’ve discovered how to wear them several ways.

    I received my first My Glam Bag.  I liked it a lot.  I don’t think it has as many name brand products as Birchbox has, but I really liked it this month!  The cute little heart bag was perfect for February and my favorite item was the sparkle shadow.

    So excited about the three day weekend ahead…..I need it so badly!

    Hope you all have a good one!

    Favorite Products of the Week

     Okay I have LOTS of favorites every week!
    It’s hard to narrow it down because I like so many things 🙂

    I love Milo Paper.  They make the most adorable family calendars.  You can get a weekly or monthly one.  All you need is a dry erase marker and it’s easy to clean and stick on your fridge.  Lord knows I need some organization in my life.  I love the style and color I picked out…. GREEN!

    She also designs the cutest stationary as well.  Check out Connor’s cards :

    I saw this at the grocery store the other day.  I just about fell over.  DARK CHOCOLATE MOCHA WHIPPED CREAM???  It’s from a company called Blosm and they have several other flavors as well.

    My favorite nail polish all fall and winter is this $1.99 NYC gray.  It will work great for spring/summer as well and it was so cheap and doesn’t chip!  Sometimes cheaper is better!

    And last but not least my head is spinning with ideas for this kiddo’s 2nd birthday party coming up.  It’s my one time a year to party plan and let my creative juices flow!  Since he’ll probably be my only baby boo I’m trying to convince Daddy that its worth every penny and we should celebrate his birthday the best we can….yes we have a budget, but thanks to Pinterest I’ve been going a little CRAZY! Ha ha! 

    I plan on making his cake and doing most of the decor myself.  So hopefully I can get it all done for around $100-$200 and we are not going to have food this year.  Just cake/hot chocolate bar/ and favors 🙂

    The hot chocolate bar will be for these bad boys:
    I was thinking of letting the kids fill a bag with cocoa and all the toppings then taking it home.  Or should I just let them drink it and top it off there?  Thoughts???
