5 Friday Favs

bow | stroller | blanket | burp cloth | diaper bag

When I first started blogging, I use to do a post every week called 5 on Friday (or something like that). I would post about anything in 5’s ranging from my top five moments of the week to my five favorite tops. I love the simplicity of it and being able to share 5 things on my mind. Today, I wanted to focus on my 5 favorite items of the week!

Simplified Planner

This takes the number one spot because this week, Emily Ley launched the 2017-2018 Academic Simplified Planner. I am big on written planners. I use my Simplified Weekly Planner everyday! It helps keep me really organized and it is just my style. She laughed 4 prints that are absolutely gorgeous, in 2 different options – a daily and a weekly. I snagged the Fancy Floral Weekly. Check out her site for more details and grab your before they sell out!

Ju-Ju-Be Be Prepared – Nantucket

You guys know I love a good bag and this bag is glorious for trips. I really wanted this bag for Baby Kev Kev for travel and got to use it for the first time this past weekend when we went home for Mother’s Day. It is so spacious and the pockets are great for organization. Plus, I’m a sucker for navy boy things (almost all of his wardrobe is navy… whoops) and the stripes are perfect.

Shopping with my Littles

This past weekend, I got to go shopping with my littles and it was so nice! I think its easy to get caught up in everything that has to get done as a mom and blogger. I feel like I am constantly checking things off of my to do list so it was nice to get out of the house and do something fun. I really got to enjoy the kids and the day focusing on me a little bit. This dress was a favorite of mine, the picture doesn’t really do it justice, but it is a great fit.

Zoli

I don’t know what it is about the Zoli brand that I love so much. Brooke has used their sippy cups since she first learned how to drink out of a straw and they have been great. She also has a tumbler that she loves (well she loves to drink out of it and then spit water everywhere). I really like their “On The Go Snack Dispenser” too, I have three of these!

Baby Elephant Ears

I talked about these on Monday in Baby Kev’s 2 Month post! We had them with Brooke and they worked so good, so got them for the little guy too. We have the Navy ones and this red buffalo plaid set. They are super comfy and Brooke now thinks she needs hers out too…haha.

These are the kind of dresses you’ll reach for all season long. Whether you’re heading to brunch, church, vacation, date night, or just want to feel put together with minimal effort.
I rounded up 4 timeless summer maxi dresses that are flattering, comfortable, and easy to style with sandals, sneakers, or wedges.

Which one is your favorite—1, 2, 3, or 4?👇🏼

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you all the links! 💕✨

  • #ad Summer hosting is one of my favorite parts of the season, but let’s be honest... no one talks about the cleanup. 😅

After every get together, I rely on a few simple reset routines to get my home back in order. I’ve been using the limited edition @lysol designs celebrating America’s 250th birthday from @Walmart to tackle hard surfaces and refresh linens after hosting that make post-party cleanup feel a whole lot more manageable.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, family dinner, or casual summer gathering, remember: the more the messier! Celebrate big, then clean smart. Clean Up America’s Biggest Birthday with Lysol®. 🇺🇸✨

Shop @lysol at Walmart for your summer hosting cleanup routine!

  • One S’mores mix... two cute ways to serve it! 🇺🇸✨

Whether you’re setting out a snack bowl for your 4th of July party or putting together a simple hostess gift, this patriotic s’mores mix is always a hit. ❤️💙🤍

Fill a bowl for everyone to enjoy, or layer it in a clear jar, tie on a festive ribbon, and add my printable gift tag for the sweetest little treat. So easy, so cute, and perfect for summer celebrations!

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you everything you need. 🍫✨

  • Back porch summer reset with @homedepot 🧡#AD

Our back porch had become one of the most underused spaces in our home, so this summer a back porch reset was top on our priority list ✨

By swapping our outdoor dining setup for a cozy conversation set and adding a few simple touches like lanterns, pillows, and greenery, it now feels like the perfect spot to unwind, connect, and enjoy summer evenings.

Sometimes the biggest transformations come from the simplest changes. I found everything I needed at @HomeDepot to bring this vision to life. 

COMMENT “shop” for the links.
