I don’t think I have ever paused, looked up and whispered to God, “thank you” as much as I have in this season of life. I’m beyond grateful for these two people standing (and being carried) beside me and I truly wish you and your family the best holiday season! xo
It’s not even Thanksgiving yet and it snowed here in PA. Any excuse to get extra cozy though sounded great to me..and that’s exactly what we did. 🙂 So for today, I’m sharing one of my favorite snow day recipes: Apple Crisp! Yesterday on Instagram I posted the recipe. You can go here to find the instructions for the recipe but since several of you asked for it to be on my blog, here it is as well! 🙂

This week was so special. There were endless snuggles, a lot of Christmas music, and quality time all around. It was a good week for sure.
As I was thinking about some of my favorites, I realized there are some things that I take pride in getting the most bang for my buck. If there is a product I use consistently and want to have on hand, I stock up with no shame. Three bottles of moisturizer that I use every day for a sale price? Yes please. 🙂 Here we go with the (very random) list and happy Friday everyone!
One.
Naty Diapers
Diapers. It’s the phase of life I’m in, as are many of you. I’m using multiple diapers a day and need to have extra on hand. These are the diapers I buy and LOVE! We’ve tried a few brands and I always go back to these. I feel like at least once a month, Target has a deal that when you spend a certain amount on diapers you receive a gift card. Why not?! Buy five packs of diapers and use the gift card towards more diapers. I’m going to be using them anyways, so it’s a no brainer. For the most part, I only stock up on diapers when they have this deal and it’s worked out great! (Plus I use my redcard and get 5% back and free shipping).

If you’ve followed along for awhile you know I use this

I love, love, love Williams Sonoma and our kitchen is stocked with so many of their products. Recently we needed a new pan and you can easily spend a decent amount on that alone pretty quickly. Always wait for deals. They have them all the time and it’s so worth it. Right now they’re offering 20% off your order plus free shipping with the code: FRIENDS. 20% off products like a Vitamix can save you a ton!

‘Tis the season! I wanted to treat one person to a Starbucks drink because I’m just thankful for everyone who reads this. Make sure you are following me on Instagram, comment with the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given (I have loved reading these so far!), and tags some friends. I’ll pick someone today and post it tomorrow! 🙂
Ohhh and check out this recipe of you haven’t yet!
I’ve rounded up a few Amazon favorites lately for a short and sweet post for your Friday! These were the last five things I ordered on Amazon and honestly, I happened to love every single thing.
One.
We got to the point where Capri needed something where she would be able to, “stand” and not always be on the floor. I found this Baby Activity Center
Two.
Three.
Remember my post on natural energy and beauty products? I mentioned about probiotics and still love the brand I posted but also like this probiotic
Four.
How many of you do Operation Christmas Child? If you don’t know what it is or want to get involved, you can read all about it here. I know it’s hard to find gifts that can fit into a shoebox so I thought I’d help you out. I already ordered the sports balls with pump
Five.
You know I couldn’t resist sharing my excitement for nutpods new Peppermint Mocha creamer
Have the best weekend everyone!
Happy Friday! This week’s list is a random mix of my favorites with a busy weekend ahead! I’m so thankful it’s Friday! 😉
One.
My Mom found this magnetic onesie
Two.
The cold weather in PA came out of nowhere! It went from 80 degrees to 40 basically overnight! So when I saw these
Three.
Let’s rewind for a second. My mom’s mom and I were extremely close growing up. When I was in middle school, her health declined and she suffered from alzheimer’s. A few years later she passed away. We actually chose Capri’s middle name because that was my Grandma’s middle name as well. She was a special lady and someone I still hold very close to my heart.
All of that being said, the note said, “This book is for you now but it is also for Capri when you are ready to tell her about Grandma.” The book is heartwarming and you are guarenteed to cry. It was such a thoughtful gift on so many levels.

From cold weather to sweet books, cozy food is always needed this time of year. I made this Chicken and Kale in Parmesan Sauce recipe last week and Eric LOVED it! I don’t have pictures to go with it but I thought I’d share. It’s super easy!
Five.
Bamboo Shine Silk-Sleek Brilliance Cream
And with cold weather comes trying to maintain hair. You know how Sephora always gives you a million samples? To be honest, I don’t use half of them. But the other week I happened to use one of their creams because my hair just needed help. I loved the smell and what it did for my hair that I ordered it…and you should too.
What are your plans for the weekend?
