Friday Favorites August 21 Edition

The weekend is here, our bathroom is being gutted (I'm talking down to the studs, y'all!) and while I'm not thrilled to be living in a construction zone through September, I'm going to be SO happy to have this bathroom redone!

Let's jump right in to the other great things that went down this week:

1) I ordered my 2016 planner! Nerd alert? Yup. But I have to organize and manage all kinds of schedules for everyone in the family and LOVE paper planners. Phones just don't cut it. Kristen talked about Plum Paper Designs last week and the customization options with their planners was on point! Also on point? The price! Got mine for under $40. Boom.

Plum Papper Designs custom daily planner
I picked out this design, but obvi mine will say Paige. Yay for bigger and better planners for 2016!

2) I was informed that Henry will take a test next week to determine a discharge date from physical therapy! You know from my posts about his torticollis that we've been going to PT every week for months upon months now. This week he impressed his therapist so much that she's ready to begin the discharge process. I. Cannot. Wait. To. Be. Done. And never drive to Plano again! Sorry, Plano. (FYI, it's a suburb about 40 mins north of Dallas).

3) Henry started kissing my belly and saying, "baby!" And it made my heart explode. He is such a kind, thoughtful toddler (can that even be said about toddlers?!) and I cannot wait to watch his sweet soul become a big brother!

"I'm going to be a big brother soon!"
4) I enrolled to be an independent distributor of Young Living essential oils! I love everything about them and can't wait to learn more about how I can get rid of harmful chemicals in my house (especially with two kids under two and two dogs!) I'm excited to share what I learn on this space too, for all my holistic health minded folks. More to come in the near future!

5) Chewy.com sent our doggies these cookie treats! They look like delicious chocolate chip cookies, but are in fact made of beef jerky. Go figure right? The boys love them. My pregnant self can barely tolerate the way they smell... But what else is new?

A huge variety of dogs treats are available on chewy.com
Big boy Baxter and wee dog Otis Beaufort love these things!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Linking up with Amanda, Karli, Liz and H54F!

  8. Love your comment bubbles ;-) can't wait to see your bathroom reveal! Bathrooms and kitchens are my two favorite parts of any house! Yes! I will buy all your essential oils so I can continue to have Mark turn his nose up every morning "you have your old lady oils on this morning don't you???" Yes sir I do.

  10. I have also ordered my 2016 planner because I find the ones I usually like always end up being out of stock and with school being around the corner it helps to be organised and have a planner ready.
    So adorable Henry kissing your belly aw! And such an achievement being discharged from PT!

  12. Aww! Sweet little Henry. Imagine how much your heart is going to explode when he's kissing his baby brother and not your belly! Congrats on getting your bathroom done. That'll be nice to get out of the way before the baby comes.

  13. I would like to request a post about how your pups reacted to your bringing home Henry. Also, how does Henry react to them? It's interesting to see how animals react to a new family member.

  14. Love your planner!! I haven't decided on wtf to get yet... I love me planners, stationary, Pena, you name it.
    LOVE that Henry is kissing the belly <3 that is the sweetest thing ever!!

    I'm glad Henry is better... I guess since I haven't been a longtime reader, I didn't know he had that. Muscle spasms must be so confusing to them :( never mind, painful.

  15. Loving the planner! Yay for being done with that PT drive. Husby grew up in Dallas and it seems like every time we go back to visit, the traffic gets worse and worse!! Totes adorbs with your little guy kissing your tummy - not so totes adorbs, my two-year-old saying there is a baby in mine because auntie is pregnant (yeah, NO baby in my tummy, but thanks for pointing out my Chipotle lunch, Parker ;)
