Friday Favorites

Woo hoo for Friday! This week has been rather long and boring so I'm ready for some weekend fun but first I'm sharing my Friday Favorites.

Dreft Blissful In-Wash Scent Booster: 19.5 oz
Anyone with a baby knows how heavenly Dreft is. Now they have the in-wash scent boosters and they are 100% blissful! Joey may have "accidentally" used these on a couple loads of our laundry. ;-) It's just the best smell! We have also started making our own Fabreeze-like spray by mixing a few of these with water. We use it to spray down furniture and even spritz it on clothes when they need some freshening up. Try these.. even if you don't have a kid!



I have a new love and his name is Jimmy Fallon. I've never really watched late night TV but after cracking up at so many videos of him I decided to start recording his show every night so I can watch it the next day. I think he is genuinely funny and watching his show has just been a good way to unwind in the evenings.

The weather these days is definitely a favorite! The air is crisp and cool in the mornings but by the afternoon it's warm and pleasant. The evenings are perfection and the sunsets from my front porch are so lovely. I've never really thought about my favorite month but if I had to choose one right now, it would probably be September. I just love this time of year. I feel like it brings people together and just feels like a fresh start when fall begins. Who doesn't love fall?!



Babies are ALWAYS a favorite. I've mentioned before that several people I know are having babies and I love it! Even though these two aren't technically babies anymore :-( I just love the pictures me and my friend Jordan had done when Beckett was about to turn 1 and Reagan was around 6 months. Now that they are toddlers (sweet girl turned one last weekend!) I'm sure it would be almost impossible to try to get another cute picture like this.


New opportunities. Thankfully after quite the year(!) of uncertainty, stress, and lots of prayer Joey has been given an opportunity that will allow him to be home with us in the evenings again. He hasn't been able to be home with us in the evenings for a few months now and it's been hard. He's only been able to spend time with us 2 days a week (other than those two days he doesn't see B except for 30 minutes in the mornings and sees me when I take my lunch hour) so it's been tough. I'm hopeful that he'll love this new job and it will lead him where he ultimately wants to be in his career.




That wraps up my Friday Favorites for the week. We're off to another football game this evening and will hopefully get to cross off a Fall Family Fun list item or two tomorrow. Have a great weekend!!

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night.

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
