Favorite Things: Vol. XXVIII

Favorite Things

Happy Friday! I meant to post this last week for 4th of July, but for some reason, it did not schedule properly 🙁 Regardless, I hope you all had a happy 4th of July and have a great 4th weekend! G and I attempted to do some furniture shopping because of all the great sales this weekend. Things are slowing coming together in out new house! I’m going to be adding a home tab to the blog soon, to share some of my favorite items and the progression as we start to decorate our new house. If there’s anything you want to see, send me an email or DM me over Instagram 🙂

Bathing Suit

You can purchase the set for under $15 total! I just looked online and some colors have the top as low as $3 (!?!?!?!?!!) and the bottoms range from $5-7. LIKE WHAT. It’s surprisingly good quality, and I got lots of compliments on it!

The Cutest Wedding Details

G and I went to a wedding a few weeks ago that was so cute, and I took a few of my own photos because I loved the details that the bride had thought through. If you want to read about our own wedding details, you can check out this post 🙂

The flowers were just gorgeous. I love eucalyptus and it was incorporated in lots of different ways in the ceremony and reception.

I loved these place cards at the reception!

Chrissy Teigen’s BTI Roast Chicken

This roast chicken will rock your world! It uses compound butter and lots of fresh herbs which sets it over the top. It’s from Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook “Cravings“, which is one of my absolute fave cookbooks. I put it on our wedding registry and I love trying out new recipes from it. There hasn’t been a single recipe from it that I have not LOVED!

“Almond Joy” Energy Bites

I made these before our recent trip to Smith Mountain Lake last week and they turned out so good! I like to use natural Jif for this recipe (I normally love Justin’s PB, but good ole Jif helps hold the bites together better)

Button Up Loft Dress

This super cute dress will fit you like a glove, is super flattering, and HAS POCKETS!!! I LOVE. It’s currently on sale for an extra 40% off too, so get it while you can!

Have a great weekend!

Did a really simple makeover to a sad, gray bathro Did a really simple makeover to a sad, gray bathroom to make it a little more fun and colorful for my toddler! So happy with how it turned out, and it ended up being such an inexpensive facelift! Inexpensive flexible moulding for the mirror, paint, an IKEA shower curtain, and some Etsy wall art made all the difference! #toddlermom #whimsy #roommakeover #whimsicalhome #colorfulhome

This was a super simple makeover and was very inexpensive, just to make getting ready in here a little more enjoyable.

Wanted to make my toddler’s bathroom a little more Wanted to make my toddler’s bathroom a little more colorful and fun without painting the walls a crazy color and making it feel even darker and more cave like 🫥🫥🫥 
Raising the shower curtain rod and sewing 2 inexpensive ikea shower curtains together definitely brought some color and funkiness into the space. And changing out the light fixture and framing off the builder grade mirror were such inexpensive upgrades that made a big difference! 
Also so happy with the fun wall art and affirmations to make getting ready in here a bit more fun! It’s a kid’s bathroom! Let it be colorful 🥰 #toddlermom #whimsy #kidsbathroom

When I became a mom, I was unprepared for the fier When I became a mom, I was unprepared for the fierce love and protectiveness I was overcome with. It was (and still is) terrifying having my heart exist outside of my body and trusting it to the world. 
Motherhood is the greatest gift and hardest job I’ve ever had. Being both a ‘forever mom’ and a foster mom has formed me into a stronger, more passionate, more empathetic, and creative version of myself. My life and work before kids felt important and meaningful, but raising kind, caring kids to impact their future communities and world feels like my most important purpose yet ❤️
I knew I’d use the friendship bracelet making skil I knew I’d use the friendship bracelet making skill again one day 💁‍♀️ I saw someone wrapping their phone cord like this and it was just too colorful and cute to not replicate! I have a detailed reel if you want to DIY on my page 😎 #whimsy #crafty #craftymom #easycrafts #whimsical
our fairy garden was looking a little spooky-scary our fairy garden was looking a little spooky-scary so my toddler and I gave it a little makeover by putting it in some stacked pots! With a little DIY ladder, flowers, and the help of @treepoetry.us (thank you for gifting us with the door and glow-in-the-dark mushrooms!! 🍄) we basically have a fairy village going on! 🏡🧚🧚‍♀️🏠
This is so much more fun for my toddler to play with and we say that Mack the fairy comes out here to play with his friends 🥰 #toddlermom #whimsy #whimsicalchildhood #fairygarden #positivemotherhood
