Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, my friends! 

I hope you're all managing to stay cool this week. I don't know about where you live, but Pittsburgh is sweltering and humid right now!

This week seemed to last forever and I had so many things on my to do list. I'm definitely feeling drained tonight, so I'm going to keep my Friday Favorites short and sweet! Here's what I'm loving this week:

{ONE}

I'm feeling very disheartened by all the hate in our country right now. I suppose the only thing I can do is teach my four children to love everyone despite their race, religion, gender or ability and teach them that violence is NEVER okay.

I always tell everyone that I share what life is really like with Down syndrome so often because I want to spread all the love and joy that just seems to radiate from Liam. It's still a tough world for a person who has Down syndrome to live in, but they are the ones who are getting it right. Liam loves and accepts others the way all human beings should.  These shirts from Trendy Bubs were released this week and I immediately fell in love! What an incredible message to spread right now!

These name and clothing labels from Minted are awesome!  They are waterproof, dishwasher and laundry safe AND non-toxic. Right now, they're perfect for Summer camps and activities. And although we don't want to utter that dreaded 3 word phrase, they're every bit as perfect for Back To School! Come back on Monday for my full review and an amazing $150 Minted giveaway!

I love to shop small and purchase unique items. And I love a good mail day! One day this week, I was thrilled to receive a mailbox full of goodies instead of the usual junk mail and bills.

Our Educational Busy Bags Binder is Liam and Lily's current favorite! We use it every day. It was a quick, inexpensive project and a great way to organize all the learning materials and flashcards!

I had so much fun participating in a Favorite Things Exchange with some of my favorite bloggers! I sent a few of my favorite things, which were all purchased at Target. I keep all of these items in my purse and at home at all times!

  8. It makes me so sad that this news is becoming the norm lately. I don’t want my kids to grow up in a world like this. I hope this stops ASAP. Those “Spread Love” tees are adorable!

  9. First, I have to agree with you about how sad the news everywhere has been. I love the t shirts with spread love on them. If only everyone would spread love and kindness. The busy bags binder is a great idea! Have a great weekend my friend!
