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.

  • #ad #RubbermaidAmbassador Resetting my tween’s bathroom didn’t require a full makeover… just smarter swaps 👏🏻

I found these Rubbermaid bathroom essentials at @Walmart while doing a late-night scroll (because that’s when moms get things DONE 😅), and I love how they instantly made her space more organized and functional.

The Rubbermaid Mesh Pockets Shower Liner has been a game changer for keeping everything organized and the Rubbermaid Instamat™ Tub Mat gives me peace of mind with its non-slip design + easy hang-to-dry feature.

Both are BPA-free, kid-friendly, and designed to stay fresh longer—which means less work for me 💛

Small changes can make a BIG difference.

  • 🕶️Goodbye lesson plans, hello sun tans! End of the year teacher gift idea!

COMMENT “shop” for the links.💗

Such a cute and easy little gift idea for teachers heading into summer break 💛

I paired sunscreen with a beach towel and added the cutest printable tags for a fun end-of-year surprise!

Simple gifts always end up being my favorite🎀✨

  • Being their mom is my greatest privilege 💕 — through the chaos, laughter, exhaustion and pure joy.

Watching these two grow 💐 while growing alongside them has been the sweetest gift.

So grateful for every little thing🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. You are seen, appreciated, and doing better than you think 🌷

  • Super excited to watch Brooke step onto the stage for her first dance recital 💃🏽✨

She decided to try something completely new and joined a hip hop class this year!

Definitely outside of her comfort zone — and I couldn’t be more proud of her for sticking with it, growing in confidence, and having fun along the way.

Can’t wait to cheer on our girl today for two performances! 🎤🪩
