TFF + The Pick No. 18

May 6, 2016


Woah y'all it's Friday and this week flew! My house is a wreck, but I somehow managed to get five posts out the door this week. That is a true miracle in itself, and I'm doing a little happy dance about it! Did you catch all of the posts? If not here they are...1, 2, 3, 4.

So this weekend is going to be a full. Husband is working on a project for a good chunk of Saturday, and Sunday will be my first official Mother's Day. Last year, we had just found out we were expecting our rainbow baby, and only a handful of people knew our sweet secret. This year Mother's Day is going to have a whole new meaning; I'm really looking forward to celebrating not only my new motherhood membership, but my Mama as well. I love that there is a day to celebrate the women in your life who selflessly give their love and care as a mother figure, whether it's your own mom, a mom you know, or someone who stepped in as a mom. And for all you ladies out there longing to be a mama, I'll be saying an extra special prayer for you.

T H I N K I N G  > About a new spring/summer wardrobe. If only money grew on trees, right?! ;)

P O N D E R I N G > This lip scrub. I always love finding a new beauty product to try out. Anyone use it and recommend it or suggest not to go with it?? And this perfume. I am very particular about my perfume and hold a strong allegiance to Burberry, both Burberry Brit and the classic Burberry scent. Any given day I'll be wearing one or the other. So I wonder if this new perfume has a similar scent.

N E E D I N G > To get items rounded up for our very first yard sale. I'm entering all new territory here.

L I S T E N I N G > To this song finally. I think I like it, but I'm not sure. What I do know is that I want to bob my head to it.

D R E A M I N G > Of fall. I know, I'm absolutely crazy. For some reason, all the rain, cool temps, and overcast skies in Virginia have me dreaming about crimson leaves and pumpkin candles. 

S W O O N I N G > Over these ruffles on this baby bathing suit. I am so excited to put Greer in a tiny swim suit!



p.s. I'm in the market for aviators, and not of the expensive kind. After all I've got a baby who is learning to grab and those sweet hands and a pair of Ray Bans just don't mix. I'm thinking this pair. What are your go-to sunglasses??
