Fave Five (or Nine!)

Oh hiiiiiiii!

It's been a hot minute. 

Wish I could tell you I've been working on some incredibly time consuming project (like getting my masters - seriously think about this EVERY. DAY. Someone tell me I should do it already). 

But in reality I've just been swamped with life; momming, church, weddings/baby blessings/events. So many events?! Tis the season I guess - and we're barely at starting line of the crazy sprint down Holiday Lane! I secretly love that time flies because I'm a big planner. But then again I'm like CANNON SLOW DOWN because I ain't havin another baby anytime soon so you've gotta stay little.

Anywho. Fave Five! 

There have been SO many awesome products I've been using these last few months so I felt guilty not sharing with errbody.

BROOTS Woven Basket ( here)

Have you ever seen a cuter basket?? I AM IN LOVE. Perfect for blankets, toys, you name it. Comes in three amazing colors and pretty much makes my day every time I pass by it. PLUS the owner hand delivered this to my door and she's a gem. Run people.

MAC Brow Pencil ( here)

Got this pencil by mistake and avoided using it for a couple months. MY MISTAKE. It's amazing. Because it's so dark (I'm wearing taupe) I put about 5 strokes on each brow and I'm good to go! Brows are no longer the most dreaded part of my makeup routine.

Paper Source Calendar ( here)

My all-knowing sister got this for me for my birthday (she understands my need to plan) and it's perfect. Growing up we always had a massive family calendar in the living room where we could all see it - so this makes me feel all-grown-up and like I have important things to do! ;)

One Bars ( here)

Found a new favorite protein bar! 1g of sugar, 20g of protein, tastes like a candy bar. Does life get better. Personal favorite is Birthday Cake but really they're all delish.

DIY Kids Pom Pom Shoes

K I had so many questions about these when I posted them on my instagram story so I thought I'd share the deets! I saw adorable Nordstrom kid shoes like this but couldn't justify $50. I literally went to the boys section of Walmart and got these sneakers for $5, and then found a package of pom poms for $1 at Michael's (also sold at Walmart, Target, etc). I hot glued them on and WAZAAM. Adorable girly tennis shoes! And so far the glue has stayed put.

Mauve Sweatshirt ( here)

I wore this the other day and at least 6 people stopped me and asked where it was from. Yay Target! I'm all for something that feels like pjs but looks fashionable. (PS it runs big - size down.)

Land of the Wee Towels ( here)

Land of the Wee sent us these adorable coordinating boy/girl hooded towels and washcloths and they are SO LUXE. Like the truly feel amazing - super soft - almost stretchy? - and really big! Which I love because Cannon's grown out of his baby towel (kid's got muscles). Moment of truth: I've actually used Lydia's twice since getting it on Saturday. Thank you Wee People!

Letter Quiz App ( here)

I'm always on the hunt for educational apps for Lydia. These kids are going to be around technology whether we like it or not, so I figure it's better to work with it than against it. This phone app is awesome. See those letters? She wrote those! (Well traced them, but I'm counting it.) Can't remember if this one was free or like $2, but either way worth it. It's a fun way to teach her to recognize letters, trace them, match upper case to lower case, etc. 

Bath and Body Works 'Leaves' Candle ( here)

I think I'm the last one to realize this - but the same store our 14-year-old-selves went to hoard hand sanitizer and sample terribly fake lotion happens to be the home of the WORLD'S BEST CANDLES.  Their 3-wick candles smell phenomenal, even when they're not burning! 'Leaves' is my current obsession - makes my entire house smell like hot apple cider even if I just light it for two minutes. (PS cheaper on Amazon.) Fall is in the air! 

So there you have it - nine things I'm loving these days. 

Annnnd I really am going to try and get back to blogging regularly. Hold me to it, k??
