Friday Favorites

This is the first post that I have written in awhile. I had most of my previous posts pre-written knowing that I was having surgery and wanted to make sure I didn't fall behind. I am doing so much better and each day I feel a little more energized and healed.

We don't have much planned this weekend and I am ok with that. But tonight, Rory and I are going to our steak dinner for his Japan trip. I can't wait! I am also hoping to sneak in a little time with my friends this weekend since it has been forever since I have seen them.

What do you have planned this weekend?

Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.

ONE. Since we are going to Mexico next month, I wanted to start buying things that we still need for our trip. Like some sunglasses for the girls. They have a few pairs, but none of them are polarized. They did have some cute ones from Babiators, but one of the ear pieces broke off one pair. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on them because they are kids and they easily get lost or broken. So I searched around and found these. They are rubber and flexible, so hopefully they will last through our trip. And they are polarized which you definitely want when you are in Mexico. I grabbed two pairs for $14.99 (total). Such a steal. They have amazing reviews too.

TWO. Speaking of sunglasses for Mexico, I also grabbed a pair for myself. I saw this ad on my IG stories for Blenders sunglasses in this pretty pink color and took a look at them. I got these for $25 with a Valentine's Day sale. They are pretty, polarized and cheaper, so I won't be crushed if something happens to them. Sometimes we can't have nice things when we travel.

THREE. Another item that I have been looking for is comfy sandals for the girls. My girls love sandals and I want a pair that will stay on, are comfy and can last through a lot of walking. I picked these up on Amazon and I hope they like them. I will have them wear them around the house for a day or so and see if they are comfy and live up to the hype. I have had many Reef sandals in my day and they were always comfy.

FOUR. So I took the advice of Missy and uploaded a photo of my dining room and put some of my favorite rugs from Rugs USA into it. I had the perfect one picked out and then I browsed a few other websites....like Pottery Barn and West Elm. And then I found the new rug that I really want. And it is priced pretty well, but I think I will wait for a sale on it. You know, to get the absolute best price. Ha.

Here is the rug that I chose. It is from West Elm and the color is midnight.

FIVE. Weekly Funnies.

Have a great weekend!

  1. I will have to grab some of those sunglasses, they are cute and I like the idea of rubber. Zoe has more sunglasses than I do, but I feel like a few are on the brink of destruction lol. That rug you found is pretty! Hope you have a great weekend!

    1. Oh yes. My girls have a few pairs, but none that are polarized. Since this one is polarized and rubber, they should last and be great for vacations. Love that rug so much!

    1. We do have a great time. I can't wait to see your Disney trip. You guys are going to have a blast and we are going around the same time. The glasses are a huge hit. They looked cute on the girls.

  6. Those sunglasses. YES! I just bought them for my kids because they break theirs all the time. These sound like a good alternative to the norm?! Hopefully?!

  7. OMG - that meme about the grocery store order is SO accurate, lol! Those sunglasses for the girls are so cute (and I'm totally jealous of Mexico). :)
