The Friday Faves #13

It's Friday!

Is it me or did this week go really fast?

I'm linking up with Andrea, Narci & Erika today to bring you some of my favorite things from this past week.

Let's get to it!

We had some errands to run last weekend, so we popped in a home and appliance store to look around.

X was living his best life in these recliners!

That evening we grabbed some dinner with friends and then went bowling :)

Sunday....we did nothing.
I mean nothing.
And that was just what we all needed!

So Monday came and that meant I needed to order groceries!
Thank goodness for Kroger pickup!

On the blog this week I shared a couple of my favorite online stores and some of the items I order from them.

I joined my friends at The Blended Blog for a fun little Spring Blog Hop sharing what Spring looks to us :)

Wednesday I shared recent online purchases and recapped the month for What's Up March!

X spent the night at my dad's house Wednesday night, so when I picked him up yesterday I swung by my mom's house for a quick visit before heading back south.
She is the best!
She basically gave me her entire Spring FabFitFun box!
Look at those goodies!

Unplug Meditation Aromatherapy Diffuser & Happy Oil
Quay Australia Vivienne sunglasses in Black/Smoke
S'ip by S'well bottle
Tula Purifying Face Cleanser (this is the one I use every day!)
Ouai Leave In Conditioner
Dr. Brandt Skincare Needles No More No More Baggage Eye De-Puffing Gel
Manna Kadar Champagne Body Scrub


I snapped a screenshot of these new Crest toothpastes and grabbed them on my recent Target run.
I have only tried the Charcoal one so far, but I am loving it!

A few other things I saw on Instagram this week that I am loving...

I think I need this Uncommon James necklace in my life!

And these necklaces that Brooke @ KBStyled shared from The Sis Kiss are so cute!

Did you know that The Sis Kiss is from Cleveland,Ohio?
Now you do!
Go shop local my friends!


I loved watching the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!
Especially when all my faves used to be on there...Justin, Britney, Christina, JC, Kerri and more!
Look at this...

I sure hope they make this into a TV special!

And finally I saw this just this morning and laughed out loud a bit!

I can think of a few times X is just like me!

One more thing before I go, Blake Shelton's new song premiered this morning on the radio and I absolutely love it!!!

What are you up to this last weekend of March?
Let me know in the comments below :)

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Online Purchases & What's Up March!

What haven't I purchased online recently should be the real question! lol!

Well that isn't exactly true.

Other than a pair of shorts that I am about to share, I haven't ordered anything since mid-February.

But I do have online carts full of things I am still hesitant to hit submit order on ;)

I did receive these shorts last week in the mail, but I think I have to return them 😭

They are so cute!

But they are too big :( #perkofdoingfwtfl :)

They are currently sold out in most sizes, so I am trying to decide if I want them bad enough to leave them big or just return them.

What you do you think?

What have you been ordering online recently?

Share your items and link them up with us at The Blended Blog, or post to Facebook or Instagram and use #TBBStyle.

Now let's get on with What's Up Wednesday | March Edition!
Linking up with Sheaffer & Shay

What we're eating this week...

Bunless Philly cheese steaks

Brinner

Tacos

Chicken & Veggies

Pizza

Out

What I'm reminiscing about...

This picture popped up earlier this month for St. Patrick's Day!

Look at all that cuteness!!!

How was that 2012????

What I'm loving...

That the last month has been really good mentally, physically, etc. for my little family!

What we've been up to...

A lot and nothing all at the same time :/

What I'm dreading...

Nothing at the moment!

What I'm working on...

Trying not to go insane ;)

I'm currently working from home today and I can hear X bouncing a ball.

😖😖

But really I'm working on this post, things for the office, and then I'm about to get my workout in for the day :)

So it's a good day!

What I'm excited about...

That we are starting to plan our summer vacation!

Better late than never!

I was pretty set on going to Destin, Florida again this year...but I'm just not feelin' it anymore.

So currently looking at other options to get away from home and where the masses go ;)

What I'm watching/reading....

Our DirectTV wasn't working right the other day, so I decided to see what Netflix had to offer.

Due to my love for teen dramas, and Luke Perry...I decided to give Riverdale a shot.

I'm hooked!

I don't like binge watching shows, but I finished season 1 in just a few days and I'm currently working my way through season 2.

I love it!

Meanwhile my DVR is now building up with episodes of The Blacklist, The Voice, etc.

And I would love to say I'm keeping up with my new books...but I'm not.

Riverdale is all that is going on with me right now. lol!

What I'm listening to...

My child whine...#justkidding

I have been listening to a lot of the new X Channels on the Sirius Radio app.

Basically all the 90's, 2000's and today's workout mixes.

Here is a sample of some of the songs I love to hear while working out or driving around in my car right now...

And this is currently my favorite song/video out right now...

What I'm wearing...

Lots of green during the month of March ☘

Just some pants/jeans I haven't worn in over a year!!! 😁😁

And my favorite tees from Target!

Unfortunately, they aren't $5 this week but they are 3 for $20!

What I'm doing this weekend...

Celebrating a friend's little girl turning 7 with a donut party :)

We are heading to watch some of the Alumni basketball tournament!

And then dinner with friends :)

What I'm looking forward to next month...

Spring soccer starting for X!

He actually has practice this week.

Pictures at the Easter Basket

And better weather!

What else is new...

I'm finishing up Round 2 of Faster Way to Fat Loss and I'm truly amazed by all the changes I have had!

I am already signed up for VIP starting on April 1st.
It's not too late to join a round or join me in VIP!

Shoot me any questions you may have or head here to sign up and join me :)

Coming Soon!

Thanks for stopping by today!

The Friday Faves #10 & #11

Happy Friday my friends!
So if you follow along with me on Instagram than you know my dad had surgery last Friday.
I had so much going on and had to be up so early that I just decided to skip last week's post.
And you know what...it was just what I needed!
No stress...no worries...just be in the moment.

But I'm back today and I am sharing some of my favorites from the last two weeks of our crazy life!

 I am kicking today off with a question for you all.
I have a hair appointment coming up next week and a small part of me is thinking of making a change.
Not a big change...just a little update.

Chop it to the line?

Or keep most of the length and add all the layers?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

TIA :)

Moving on...X had what we believe to be his last indoor soccer game two weekends ago.

It was supposed to be a double header, but the team didn't show for the second game.

But the kiddos all had a great time.

We sure loved watching this team play together!

Last week was all things Dr. Seuss at school for X.
Day 1 was crazy hat day.
X was a little apprehensive to play along....

But by the time I picked him up from after care he was all about wearing the hat!

Day 2 was crazy sock and shoe day.
He wore the same socks...just in different colors, but you couldn't see them.
He decided on his own to wear two different shoes as well :)

Tuesday night was the 1st grade Spring Program.

Side note: They split the program into two nights, so it was only his school that performed that evening.

Otherwise there would have been about 200 kids on the stage at one time!

It was all about dogs, so this guy had to wear a brown shirt to be a brown dog.

I am not a fan of dogs at all, but it was a cute idea :)

Wednesday was Day 3 and it was crazy hair day!

X never, ever wants his hair to look any different, so I was shocked when he wanted to participate.

He loved it!

Day 4 was backwards clothes day.
He nailed it :)

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture from Day 5 because I was at the hospital with my dad.
But X did participate again :)
It was red, white and blue day so he wore his USA tee and brought his favorite Dr. Seuss book to school with him!

Saturday we had some errands to run, but first X wanted me to see if his hair could be shaped into a Mohawk :/
I played along since it was the weekend and he absolutely loved it!

Now he wants to get his hair cut into a Mohawk.
I am persuading him to go with a spiked look overall instead ;)

On the blog this week I shared some of my Must Have items that I feel you all need in your life!

And I shared a couple items from my teen years that I rock at 40 years old as well!

The lovely ladies at The Spoiled Home shared this great deal from QVC the other day and I just couldn't resist trying it out!
The price went up just a bit since I snagged it, but look at everything you get for $72.50!!!
That tube of foundation is HUGE!

I have used it twice as of typing this and I love it!

Buildable coverage and the perfect amount of glow :)

If you aren't following Sandi & Shalia you need to get on it!

They have the best Instastories!

And their houses are gorgeous too!

This week was Right to Read week at school, so X has been donating books, wearing themed clothing and such.

This was the only pic I took this week of him.

He loved getting to wear his tee my dad gave him from Curacao for Pirate Day!

Argh!

Gotta show some love to Instagram or it wouldn't be a Friday Favorites post! ;)

And every Cleveland Browns fan said Hallelujah!!!

And I'm calling it there!
I hope you all had a fantastic week and an even better weekend!
It's almost St. Patrick's Day!!!!
Make sure you wear your green on Sunday!
