1. This has turned out to be such a special week for our family. Millie is just starting to learn to walk and each day continues to take more and more steps on her own. It is so amazing watching her take on this new skill and be so proud of herself. She’s growing up so fast so we are just trying to slow down time and enjoy all of these special moments and memories with her. This week Mark and I also celebrated our three year wedding anniversary! While celebrating this year was a little different then years past, we enjoyed sharing the day together and making a nice meal together at home. It was a special day and each year together just keeps getting better and better! My heart is full. This week’s Friday Favorites – Anniversary Week features sourdough bread recipes and more, additional Father’s Day gift ideas, the best weekly sale finds plus a few favorite Etsy items from our wedding.

1. Thee day weekend!! By know you may know how much I love holidays and I’m excited to share this weekend with my family in the sunshine. We plan to do a few drive by visits to family and friends, play outside with our new pool and water toys for Millie and make yummy food! You can bet we’re making our favorite one pot mac and cheese (shared the recipe here) and other fun foods for a mini cookout. Today’s Friday Favorites Memorial Day Weekend features McGee & Co. sale picks, highlighting my favorite sales of the weekend for you, an easy summer dessert recipe and more!
1. I’ve had trouble sleeping for awhile now ever since I was pregnant with Millie. Yes, my body has got used to less sleep but I’m always looking for new ways to relax and sleep more! I was recently gifted this beautiful diffuser plus tranquility and peaceful slumber diffuser blends from Saje Wellness and I’m really loving them. I know so many friends and family members that use diffusers so not sure why it’s taken me so long to use one! It’s been relaxing to have on at night and I can honestly say that with my mind more at ease my sleep has improved. Yay! I call that a big win for this week.
Friday Favorites – Wellness + Home features a yummy and easy pear app recipe, our living room rug that we love and more!
1. Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all you amazing mom’s out there!!! There is so much to celebrate and I think we can all appreciate now more than ever celebrating all that moms do for us. Although celebrating will look a little different than I imagined it would, we still plan to make a special brunch and spend the day with our family. Last year on Mother’s Day Millie was born so for me it will be extra special reflecting on that special memory. Plus, celebrating our first with her at home.
In this Friday Favorites – Mother’s Day Weekend post I’m sharing my master bedroom inspiration, mother’s day wish list, our favorite easy recipes plus Millie’s favorite pouches for on the go meals.
1. Woke up this morning with a refreshed feeling for a fresh start now that it’s the first day of May! Not only is it a Friday, it’s also my baby girl’s birthday month and Mother’s Day is next weekend. So much to celebrate! I also received this beautiful dried flower wrap in the mail yesterday from Native Poppy and it just made my day when I came downstairs. Good things are going to happen this month for all of us, I can feel it! This Friday Favorites – May First post features a fun Mother’s Day giveaway that starts today, Nordstrom sale picks that would make perfect Mother’s Day gifts, cute face masks and Millie’s favorite sleep sack.
1. This week after eating dinner and putting Millie down to sleep, I finally made time to put on a face mask. I’m so happy I did, what a difference it made! Not only to my skin but a little spa night at home (and a glass of wine) was just what I needed. While I might try and hide a lot of my stress, I can tell my body is telling me otherwise because my skin has been freaking out. This face mask has been a favorite of mine that I keep coming back to. It’s also currently 10% with code ‘springsave’!
This Friday Favorites – Spa Night at Home is a mini reminder to take care of yourself and take time for little pampering at home. Also sharing another small business favorite, Nordstrom 70% off picks, Millie’s favorite toy of the week and more.
1. I LOVE holidays and I’m so excited to celebrate Millie’s first Easter this Sunday. It’s bittersweet not getting to share this day with our entire families, as we are all keeping our distance during the quarantine, but we are staying strong knowing we will all reunite soon and have the biggest celebration. We plan to hide Easter eggs Sunday morning around the house for Millie to find and I want to continue to share new traditions with her and our family that we can carry on for the years to come. We still plan to get dressed up Sunday, watch our Church mass online and enjoy this special day with all that we are blessed to have. This Friday Favorites – Happy Easter features a few small businesses I love, a fun easy Easter treat recipe, weekend sale faves, lovevery update and more.
1. I have done a lot of reflecting over these last few weeks at home. Reflecting on the last year when our whole world changed for the better in May. And we brought our beautiful baby girl Millie into the world. Can’t believe she’s going to be ONE so soon. We made the tough decision this week to cancel her birthday party next month, just to be safe, but instead I’m focusing on the good. So grateful that she’s in our lives, healthy, happy and loves more than anything to be our center of attention. We love it too, Millie! Planning something extra special for her first birthday with us at home and looking forward to celebrating our baby girl! This Friday Favorites – family time + small business love is centered around a few small businesses our family loves and I think you will too.
