Happy Friday my loves! We have almost made it to the weekend.

Our first few days of virtual orientation for second grade has begun and I already feel overwhelmed. I am working on looking at some homeschool curriculums for second grade to supplement Zoe's learning and will report back on what we choose. Are you guys homeschooling? Or virtually learning? Or in classroom learning? I am going to be using this Play lead learning curriculum for Ami, and will start the first week of October (next week we are going to do a fun About Me themed week!).

Onto, my Friday Favorites! Every now and then, LiketoKnow.it has a “LTK Day” where select brands are discounted exclusively within the app. And you guys all know I love me a sale!! So I thought I'd share some of my favs from the sales and what I am picking up.

Another LTK Day is coming up 9/20-22, and I wanted to share some of picks from the brands that will be included!

Abercrombie is one of the brands that will be featured, and I want to try their denim, and I LOVE their bodysuits. Loving this off the shoulder sweater dress and these faux leather pants remind me of my Target ones from last year, love!

NastyGal is another, ugghh I hate the name but I have lived in the lounge sets that I bought from them in March, just ordered this beautiful mint one (cute in grey too!) and this jogger set. I also think I need this three piece one, you can easily separate the pieces or wear together for a glammed up lounge set!

Madewell will also be in the mix, love these snake print booties and these laced up ones are giving me Chanel vibes! I say invest in comfy cute boots because you will wear them year after year. 

I have these Sam Edelman booties and think they look so expensive, much more than the price tag. Loving these loafers too, so many prints/textures and a great way to take denim a tee and cardigan to the next level. And these combat boots ( or these in cream, OMG! loving a neutral palette right now!) They would look so great with a feminine dress! I also grabbed these white booties, my friend Meredith has them and the look so cute with dresses and I really wanted to try the white boot trend without the investment (under $40), perfect for now and in the Spring! I also think it's a great time for grabbing hiker boots ( already on sale and additional discount!).

And the Circus by Sam Edelman line, is also great. I have a couple pairs of sandals and love them.

Other brands to look out for are Colleen Rothschild, Elemis, Express, Tarte and more.  So keep an eye out for sale items with additional markdowns and of course your investment pieces that you know you will wear season after season!

Sending so much love and light for a great weekend.

Friday Favorites Valentine's Day

Oh hello hello hello. The week is finally ended and I am more than thrilled. This week was completely draining, both emotionally and physically. And I could not be more ready for a new month!!! It also happens to be a month of love and friendship which I have come to really appreciate. Here are a few links that I am loving lately.

I quickly "decorated" for V-Day, upon Zoe's request, with these placemats, these heart plates and cloth napkins to set the table.

I poured these chocolate kisses in these canisters.

This little garland would be so cute (we have a similar one hanging over the girls work station).

I gave these towels to my cousin as a little hostess gift, and I love these mugs. This heart pillow is just so cute. And I love this doormat because it's a little Valentine's Day-ish but also super cute.

I am listening to Such A Fun Age, and really enjoyed it, light and fun. Also really loved, Garlic & Saphires and would love some recommendations for my next fun read.

Follow this board on Pinterest for ideas For The Game this weekend. And if your looking for some Valentine's Day ideas these books are our favorites!

This weekend I am going to be putting together the girls v-day gift baskets and sharing that, as well as rounding up some of our favorite free printable's that we have been loving for Amani's tot-school, so stay tuned.

Hope you all have something great (or nothing at all like us, which is great for me!) planned.

Friday Favorites

Happy Fricken Friday.

Oh my goodness this was a long one my friends. A long one for sure. Will not bore you with the details but we finally made it. This full moon has been messing with everything, including my emotions. My little babe Amani turned 3 yesterday and it has me wondering where the time went. We have a full on three-ager and it's all sorts of crazy pants for sure, but also SO much fun.

Went back to my 5am wakes so that I could have some alone time every morning, even if it's 15 minutes of stretching or meditating I find that it's a much better start. I shared on Instagram that I bought this juicer (we have a really nice one in our storage unit back home but it was too big for this tiny kitchen). I felt like I needed one here so that I could get back to starting my day with some celery juice and not having to blend and strain the celery juice is SO much easier. I have used it 4 times this week and so far it works really well, and I LOVE the size of it. I just ordered this set of bottles to store my juices and these 32 ounce mason jars for my smoothies.

I have started planning our tot school schedule and will share a little outline on what we will be doing, weekly themes and some resources. Hoping I can get it all done and into a post this weekend. Which reminds me I need to order some stuff to organize all of our tools and daily busy boxes. Have been searching for a ton of activities on this site and a few others. More on that next week!

I loved this post on 2020 goals, do you set goals or resolutions? I know I wrote my post here on my year to come.

I have been shopping lots of sales because I am on the hunt for some cold weather pieces for the girls, so I ordered these HEATTECH turtlenecks and leggings (which are on sale!) to layer under dresses. I also really love the ribbed tights & bodysuit for me (I wear these often!), and these lined sweatpants for the girls.

And speaking of winter, anyone else pale as a ghost? I felt like I needed a little something so I bought these tanning drops, and I really love the glow. Only thing I am not a huge fan of is the smell, I have been using it every few days.

This is the top I wore on New Years Eve and it is the cutest slouchy glittery top, even for someone like me that never goes out. I also bought this knit dress, this snakeskin print dress & this lace top. Now I just need some date nights on the calendar! I have also an extreme need to finish up our apartment, I got these towels to hang in the girls bathroom and may buy these to replace our daily bath towels. Also this deal on our favorite pajamas is WAY too good to pass up.

As much as I could use a snowstorm this weekend to keep us in, we have abnormally warm weekend ahead of us and lots to do. I am going to be working on the girls thank you cards, we have 2 birthday parties (this is my favorite gift to give) and hopefully doing something fun with them for Ami's birthday (maybe maybe ice skating or a museum).

And whatever you have planned I hope that you take some time for yourself mamas because I know I will be at least getting away to write!

Happy Friday
