HELLO Friday! 

I am so excited to see the weekend in a few hours despite Trevor being on call. That always puts a bit of a damper on our weekend but I am hoping to get a few things done around the house and soak up some outside time with the kids. 

I feel like so much has been going in the past few weeks and we are getting ready for a few fun things. Our kitchen is going to be demolished at the end of the month, we have a solo trip away from the kids for the first time in a few weeks and our beach house vacation is just a month away! 

So many exciting things to look forward to after a year of feeling like we had nothing going on. I will be sharing more kitchen updates on Instagram this weekend and am planning to paint the swatches on our cabinets to compare so you all can help me choose. 

Hope you week has ended on a high note and cheers to Friday! 

 

Washington Post Article

Reading this piece on the CDC recommendations for vaccinated individuals brought me so much joy! It’s nice to see a tiny glimpse of good news arising and I am so incredibly thankful for the vaccine. 

 

The Target Dress

Dress: Target – runs big, size down| Shoes: Golden Goose (more GG here) | Handbag: Everlane, old – similar | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban (more Ray-Ban here) | Necklace: Gorjana (more Gorjana here) | Lips: Bare Minerals

 

I bought this a few weeks ago when I saw it online and I have to say it’s the perfect dress to bridge the cool to warm weather. I had a few questions about if it is see through but I haven’t found that at all. It does run a bit big so I would recommend sizing down!

 

 

5 Minute Spicy Chickpea Salad

I stumbled upon this recipe last week and it is amazing! So easy to throw together and if it sounds odd to you don’t let it fool you, it’s delicious. 

 

 

My Fanny Pack

Teddy Coat: Amazon – a favorite layering piece I throw on top of everything and anything lately. | Bra/Crop Top: Amazon – the BEST! I have never had so many people message me or tag me about a purchase. They are not lined with cups so not great for HIIT workouts but I use them for spinning, errands, lounging. Run TTS but I sized down for a more sports bra like fit, I’m in an XS. | Leggings: Aligns – Back in stock and on sale for $59!!! I wore these throughout pregnancy and love the fit. | Fanny Pack: Lululemon | Water Cup: Amazon

 

If you follow me on Instagram you know I am absurdly in love with this fanny pack. I bought it on a whim after being annoyed about having nowhere to put my keys when I headed out with the kids. It has been amazing! I use it for runs so I can carry my phone, on walks with the kids and almost anytime we walk anywhere in the neighborhood. It comes in a ton of fun colors!

 

 

Cell Phone UV Sanitizer

Trevor’s mom got this for us for Christmas and we have been using it daily. We try to sanitize our phone before dinnertime and then honestly stash them away on the charger so we aren’t distracted. This works as a wireless charger as well! 

 

What’s Missing From A Pandemic Marriage

Cup of Jo is a weekly read for me and this article is another reason why. Such a great piece on missing that connection with friends as a married couple and how that has changed marriages along the way. We miss our friends so much and as very social people I am ecstatic we are getting back to seeing some slowly!
