Top Five Friday!!

5. Yankee Candles
My mom & I did a good bit of shopping while she was here, and it was seriously such a treat!! We went to La Cantera one afternoon and stumbled upon a huge Yankee sale at their Hallmark--all Yankee candles were 30% off! I definitely stocked up! I bought four of the large jar size candles & my mom bought one candle. I totally underestimated how heavy toting around 4 candles would be, so we headed home soon after that purchase! ;)

This one is currently burning in our house :)

4. Marble Run
We ordered {THIS} Marble Run set for Shelby off of Amazon for her birthday, and it's been a huge hit!

3. Stationery from the One Spot!

Not the best picture at all, but they are a perfect soft pink & gold!!

I used to always go to the One Spot every single time I went to Target, but I almost never go there anymore b/c I think I've finally gotten to the age where I realize I just don't need anymore junk. But I'm so thankful we randomly went to the One Spot this week so I could find this set of stationery!!! I've had my eye out for a while for some cute, cheap everyday stationery. It seems like every store carries a plethora of thank you notes, but I was looking for something to write notes to people just to say "hi" so these were literally exactly what I was looking for!! And only $1 for a pack of 8, score!!

2. Fall TV!!!

Need I say more?!?! So, so excited about the return of Modern Family & Nashville!!

1. Naptime!!
Oh, how I love naptime!! I cherish naptime. The girls are now 5 and 2.5 (ummm, how did that happen?!), and we have a few days each week where one or both of them doesn't nap. But thankfully, our kids are really good about staying in their beds/rooms even if they don't fall asleep. So even if they don't sleep, I still get a solid 1.5-2.5 hours of much-needed alone time each afternoon. We had a random little thunderstorm roll through right after I put the girls down for their naps this afternoon, and it lulled the girls right to sleep! There is nothing quite like a rainy afternoon & napping babies!


Happy Friday from this smiling face!! :)

Waiting to pick up big sister from school this afternoon :)
