Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!

I am so relieved it's the weekend! I'm fairly certain this was the longest, most frustrating and most expensive week I've had in months. I'll save all that for another day! All I can say is that I'm really looking forward to putting on pajamas and curling up in bed for a date with Netflix tonight!

Here are a few of my favorite things this week:


{ONE}

Liam recently had a photoshoot for the Down Syndrome Association of Pittsburgh's 2017 calendar. We had to choose our favorite picture and we ended up going with this one. Ward Photography captured his joy so well!

Every time I go to Target (which is at least once a week) the dollar spot immediately pulls me in! Their selection for Halloween and Thanksgiving this year is unbeatable. I just keep adding things to my cart!

Have you heard of Pley? It's a toy library where you can "rent" educational toys! You choose the toys you want to try from the 500+ toy library and put them in your Pley List. You can choose a plan where you pay for 1 toy credit a month ($12.99 plus shipping) or a plan where you pay for 3 toy credits ($29.99 plus shipping). You get sanitized toys delivered right to your house one at a time then return them when you are finished!

I chose Magformers because I knew it was a toy that all four of my kids would enjoy! Sure enough, they loved it but my girls were most excited about the Lego bracelet that was theirs to keep. Dylan, however, thought the Lego separator was "epic."

AND just in case your kid doesn't want to return the toy there is an option to buy it with the click of a button in your account!

I always get so excited when a package from Trendy Bubs shows up in my mailbox! Thanks to them Liam is the coolest kid in town (it's that hair, too).

The Sporadic White Arrows on Mustard Organic Cotton Leggings are adorable and you can add on matching accessories! The Peacemaker shirt can be customized by color and style. To save 20% on your order use the code liamff at checkout (excluding sale and custom name items).

I recently won a fun giveaway from XO Kerry! These bibs from ToppyToddler are AMAZING. Liam is still messy and needs a bib when he eats. Unfortunately, he figured out how to remove our favorite Ikea bibs/smocks, which attach with velcro.


These bibs fasten with snaps and he can't get them off! I love how they provide ample coverage and are truly waterproof. I love them so much that I tossed one in the diaper bag and one in his lunchbox!

Grant recently got to try Ralph Lauren Polo Blue from Influenster (complimentary for testing purposes/all opinions are my own).  He's a bit of a cologne snob but he loved this one! It's perfect for the office or for casual use. I really like the classic, fresh scent, too, so that's an added bonus!

My horse is still here and for that I'm grateful. I'm not going to sugar coat it: he's failing. He just looks old and he's acting even older. This is much more difficult than I imagined it would be. I'm spending as much time as I possibly can with him these days (which isn't much) and I just hope he knows how much he's loved.

That last one was a bit heavy! How about if I leave you with these sweet pictures from my post yesterday? They're definitely my favorite pictures of the week!  (I'll spare you the moody tween!)

Disney Photoshoot

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! What's on your agenda?

Let's Be Friends!

  1. That picture of Liam is so awesome! He just lights up a room with that smile. :) Love the photos of the kids in their Disney costumes. Target Dollar Spot kills me and I NEED to go back. Ha ha! Hugs. I'm so sorry Cherokee is failing. It's never easy, but he definitely knows how loved he is.

  3. The joy on Liam's face is palpable! So glad I found your blog through the link-up - you aren't that far from me (I am in a suburb of Cleveland) and we dream of having a big family one day. We are anxiously expecting the arrival of our third kiddo in early November and hope to adopt from the foster system eventually. Can't wait to read more about your family!
