Friday Favorites and Happeings

Happy Friday all! We do not have a busy weekend this weekend what do you know, the weather won't be great. Ugh. I hate that. But we are going to still enjoy the long weekend. What do you have planned?

Anyways, onto Friday favorites and Happenings.

ONE. I want to share a story with you all. Well more of a review if you will. We use Chewy.com for Walter's food since he has a prescription for his wet and dry food. We also get his Heart Guard from there. And since we do an autoship on it, we get a discount on each shipment. Chewy has the best prices on his food as well. 

Anyways, one of our friends lost their dog last week. She had a tumor in her nose and they had to make the difficult decision to put her down. They were devastated. We were devastated for them. 

They also use Chewy for their food. She ate the same food as Walter, so after they notified Chewy that their dog had passed, Chewy promptly refunded their money for the food they had ordered a few weeks before and they had flowers delivered to their house. And I am not talking about a small bouquet. Chewy sent the most thoughtful bouquet. They are seriously a wonderful company. They said our friends house donate the food, send it back or give it to a friend. No questions asked.

So now Walter has so much dry food that we don't have to purchase for a long time. We only have to get his wet food. And we will forever get his food from Chewy. They are amazing.

TWO. On Monday, the girls had their last softball game. They were very sad that it was over, but had the best season. They already said they want to play in the Fall. 

Over the last season, they learned to throw better, catch better and bat better. They have grown so much. To think that they didn't even want to play before the season started, but I had signed them up anyways. I told them they had to try the sport and if they didn't like it, they only had to play this season. And guess what, they loved it. 

Here are some snaps from their last weekend of games.


THREE. Last week, a friend was on her bachelorette party and wore the cutest dress. She wore it in white, but I immediately texted her, asked her where she got it and purchased it right away. She told me to get a small since it runs a bit big. I got the small and wasn't sure it would fit, but it did. I even have a bit extra room in the chest area. Maybe because you don't wear a bra with it. But this dress is so cute.

I was worried the little peep area below the chest wouldn't cover my chest properly, but it does. The tie can be removed completely so you can adjust it to fit your own chest. I tied mine tighter than it came in the package and it fit beautifully. The button's on the bottom don't work. They are just for show. I just wish I got a picture of myself in it. But next time I wear it, I will.

I got the black in size small. It is the cutest dress for the Summer, date night, girls night, etc. Oh and it is on sale for $25.48 right now.

FOUR. With some upcoming work trips, another season of football on the horizon and for practicality purposes, I think I am giving in and getting the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag. I want something that I can be hands free with, can travel with and can fit everything that I need for football games and still be in compliant with the small bag policy.

I will not be wearing this as a fanny pack as that is not me. I will wear it as the crossbody option. Do you have one of these? Do you love it?

  1. That is so nice that Chewy sent flowers. That's a thoughtful gesture for sure! I like the dress, but I think it would be too low cut for me! Great that the girls ended up loving softball! I really like that belt bag too. I'm not sure if I should get it though since I also like to carry around my water bottle which fits into my current bag!

    1. It may be if you have a bigger chest. I have a smaller chest so it covers me completely. Ya, I don't think the belt bag would hold a water.

  7. Enjoy the quiet weekend! We just finished school on Thursday so we are definitely just laying low and going with the flow. My son is so happy! Lol I love the black dress. It’s very cute and I adore the style. I read a review regarding the Lululemon Belt Bag and I hear it’s a great one!

  8. So sorry about your friend's loss but what a nice thing for the pet company to do for them! It's always good when you find a company that tries to make the world a bit brighter!

    Hope you are having a good weekend :) We are enjoying the sunshine after so many rainy weeks!

  10. I have that same dress in a blue and white gingham pattern and I LOVE it. It's so flattering and so comfortable, too! I've been seeing that Lulu bag everywhere. I almost bought one for Disney but they didn't have the color option I wanted in stock, so I found a bag on Amazon instead. It was the best thing ever for Disney!! I will never ever carry a different bag at Disney again. It's so nice to be able to put it around your waist right before you go on a roller coaster so you don't have to worry about your bag flying off your shoulder or something.

    1. I thought it was you that posted it before. I love it. Very flattering for sure. Did you post your bag that you bought on Amazon? I don't remember if you did or not.

  11. That is so nice of Chewy, I had ordered food for Gracie from them many times when she was still with us. I will consider using them again after hearing that. Love that dress, it is so cute!
