Friday Favorites

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 a few months ago for Capri. It was for when she was a little older and I finally was able to put it on her last week. Oh. My. Goodness! I love it! Instead of buttons or a zipper, it has a magnetic connector, which makes it SO easy to dress her. I have loved so many onesies but this one is just flat-out easy and fun!

Two.

The cold weather in PA came out of nowhere! It went from 80 degrees to 40 basically overnight! So when I saw these beanies for a Mom and daughter, I had to order them. 🙂 I got the tan color.

Three.
For my birthday last week, I got a text from my cousin telling me to expect something in the mail on Saturday. Saturday rolled around and I checked the mail to find the book The Remember Balloons and a note.

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!

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?
