Our Week + Friday Favorites

What a week!! We have been in the trenches over here with sick kiddos, again. I don’t think poor Harper ever fully recovered from the cold she had two weeks ago, because while we were out of town, she came down with a cough. I took her to urgent care late Tuesday, where they told us she may have had bronchitis, only to find out the next morning at our pediatrician that she actually had pneumonia. Our poor girl couldn’t go five seconds without coughing & struggling to catch her breath, she had a high fever & couldn’t keep any of her medicine down. It was 48 hours of tears, for all of us, but we are so happy to report that she is feeling so much better!! She has been back downstairs playing with her sissies, laughing & dancing, and feeling like her sweet little self again. She requested her favorite blueberry muffins & to watch Hocus Pocus. Love my girl! 😉
Our Cinco de Mayo was very low key, we made homemade guac & ate dinner outside to get some fresh air. We have been taking it easy & are hoping for all healthy babies by tomorrow morning.
I have never felt happier or more grateful for my family, a good way to kick off Mother’s Day weekend!!

 I wanted to share a few Friday Favorites that I have been bookmarking over the last two weeks, hope you enjoy!! 🙂

Current favorite kids book, Gaston, pictured above. Eloise is obsessed with saying all of the puppies names, Fi-foo and Wocky are my favorites.

Our friends over at Camp Brand Goods just launched their new Spring line, it’s soo good, AND includes new toddler items! 
Beyond excited for The Girl on the Train, it looks so good! Have you read the book? 🙂
The cutest orange print pajamas for summer, the print is so fun!!

Seriously obsessed with these slouchy basic tees, I wear mine all the time (shown in my last post paired with white jeans) & love all of the new colors!
A little Cinco de May inspired recipe, this healthy Cilantro Lime Chicken + Avocado Salsa is on our menu for the weekend. 
And nothing kicks off the weekend better than 20% off everything at Anthro! I ordered this coloring paper table runner, I think it would be so fun to use for a dinner party or brunch!

Wishing you all a very happy & blessed Mother’s Day weekend!!! XO

    So glad to hear that Harper is feeling better! My five year old has asthma, so I know how scary it can be when they have trouble breathing. Have a great Mothers Day! You've certainly earned it!

    I must recommend reading the book The Girl on the Train: A Novel.
    I finished reading it today, and my conclusion is that its a very interesting book to read.

    I brought mine from Amazon and they delivered it in just 2 days.
    Here's a link for the book on Amazon:

Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I di Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I didn’t find them any cute matching pajamas this year but they took it upon themselves to find some in their closets & dressed accordingly. They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍
