I had a really good talk with my mom on the phone the other day. It was one of those conversations that I know I’ll remember. She said so many positive things to me that I have needed to hear for a long time. She filled me with life, and I can’t tell you what that did to me. In our conversation, she said something that really struck a chord with me on being intentional with our time. It may seem simple to some of you, but it had a major impact on me. Being a mother of three young children/babies is tough. Since having Weston, most days I’ve worn sweat pants and haven’t even bothered putting on make-up. That is a big deal for someone who loves fashion and enjoys being put together. I haven’t felt like myself.

Happy Friday! We are still battling a stomach virus in our house, but I hope you are having a great start to the weekend and for most people – spring break! I remember as a kid that spring break was such a big deal! I always needed a break this time of year and looked so forward to it. I am so excited that Hamp will be out of school all week! We are planning to go to Florida, although because of this virus, our trip may be postponed a couple of days. So, let’s get on to Friday Favorites, shall we?

We leave on our spring break trip in less than a week and we are excited to get away for a few days! I am so looking forward to that Florida sunshine and warm weather! It is going to be cold here again this week, so I am praying we don’t get sick again after having a really warm week last week. Love this Alabama weather, let me tell you! The beach is calling my name!

So, I have had a little fun picking out these adorable spring break essentials for mama and her mini! One thing I love about having a little girl is dressing her and even matching her sometimes when the mood strikes! It’s so fun! I have more fun shopping for her tan I do for myself and I have been obsessing over all the toddler things they make to match mommy now! Here are a few of my favorites:

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago not even thinking about the big Shopbop sale, but I’m glad I did because this tunic is a favorite of mine and it is on sale today! I love this sale because I can pick up amazing pieces from brands I couldn’t afford to buy otherwise. I have already been shopping this morning and can’t wait to show you what I bought and some other favorites! You guys know how much I love to shop a good sale. Right now, everything is on sale. You get 15% off when you spend $200+, 20% off $500+ and 25% off $800+! These brands don’t go on sale very often so when they do, I like to shop for things that have been on my wish list!

It has been raining here and is all muddy and gross outside, so I mayyy have taken the time to do a little online shopping because, why not? You guys know how much I LOVE to find good deals and shop the sales. The Nordstrom winter sale is going on now and I am sharing a few of my favorites below. The sale is SO GOOD this year!

Dressing my postpartum body is my least favorite part of having a baby. Maternity clothes are plentiful and even cute these days, but no one really helps out a whole lot when it comes to postpartum. I have not hid my frustration this time around with my lack of weight loss. In fact, after busting my lil for the last 5 1/2 weeks, I’ve only lost 5 pounds. Wah Wah. It’s not a fun process. If you’re like me (stubborn), you refuse to buy new pants because you will lose the weight and don’t want to waist money on pants you will wear for only another month or two. That’s how I feel.

Dressing my postpartum body has been tricky this time because the only place I really have weight to lose is my stomach and hips/butt. I really only have a couple more inches to lose to get back into my pre-pregnancy pants, and I am too small for my maternity jeans now, so what do I wear?

This weekend was pretty boring to be honest. I did some laundry and we moved the rest of our stuff out of my parent’s house, so we have been unpacking again. Sigh. Sunday, we went to church and it was, of course, super bowl weekend. We do not have an NFL team in Alabama, so the closest team to us is the Atlanta Falcons. We were excited to see them in the game, but to be honest, I just watch the super bowl for the commercials and halftime show. Of course, there is always the food, too! Game day food is the best!

We have finally experienced our first winter weather of the season this week and it has been so nice. While Fall is still my favorite season, I do like it when the colder weather arrives. It is a huge relief to us southern folks down here. I like that it finally felt like winter for the first time. I was able to break out my sweaters and jackets and I have really enjoyed it. Earlier in the week, it was still pretty warm and I was able to get out in our common green space area with the kiddos after a few days of rain. If you have a toddler, you know that after a few days of rainy weather, they go nuts. They were so ready to get out of the house and just run – which is exactly what we did.

…It’s true. Even though Hampton is almost 3 now, our little nickname for our first two kids when they are acting like crazy people is “two under two.” The last few days, we have been going non-stop. I have officially hit “I’m about to have a baby and haven’t done anything to prepare” mode, and it happened to hit me about the same time that my kids outgrew all of their shoes, planning for Hampton’s birthday and a million other little things we have going on this week. Adding to our crazy, I have been due for an iPhone upgrade for 2 months now, but because our nearest Apple store keeps running out of phones, it took me until yesterday to actually get mine. We have been checking in every day to see if they had the gold iPhone, and they finally got it in the store, which meant a very last minute trip to Birmingham.
