Top Five Friday

5. Bath & Body Works Wallflower in Honeysuckle
In the past few months, we've recently started using Bath & Body Works' wallflowers. Other brands we tried before were always way too strong, but the wallflowers seem to emit the just right amount of fragrance & last a decent length of time! We just tried out the Honeysuckle scent, and we're loving it!!

4. New pool towels from Pottery Barn Kids

Up until we purchased these new towels from PBK, the girls just always used one of our regular sized pool towels. But they always wanted to be wrapped up in the towels, which would lead to them tripping on the towels or the towels dragging on the ground b/c they were obviously way too long for them. After the umpteenth time of being annoyed by this situation, I finally decided to do something about it & order new towels for the girls! Of course, the PBK towels are pricey...but we're still using our PBK bath towels that were gifted to us before Shelby was born by my friend Erin from Bennett (thanks, Erin!!!). Almost 6 years later, those bath towels are still going strong! So I figured if the pool towels from PBK were half as good as the quality of their bath towels, we'd more than get our money's worth out of them!!

3. OPI Drip Dry

These really work!!! I've gotten back into painting my nails on a regular basis (I always, always, always have my toenails painted no matter what...but I go through seasons where I always paint my finger nails & then seasons where I never paint them), but I get frustrated b/c I always get slight "sheet marks" on my nails no matter what I do. I thought I'd give these a try, and they totally do the trick!!!

2. Mud Day!
Today marked the annual Mud Day at Marvelously Made!!! The kids are allowed to play in the mud as long as they want to on this day or completely avoid the mud if that's not their idea of fun. And the kids will totally surprise you--the ones who you think might be all about the mud avoid it all costs, and then ones who you think might not be into getting dirty are literally rolling around in the mud! It's such a fun day!! Shelby was one of the last three kiddos in the mud today at Mud Day! She had an absolute blast!!!!

1. Weekends!
It wasn't all that long ago that we didn't regularly get weekends due to Derek's residency schedule, but I try to remind myself of that fact from time to time. I'm so immensely grateful that our weekends are always family weekends now! Such a huge blessing! Looking forward to another delightful weekend with my favorite people! Fingers crossed the rain holds off tomorrow, so we can make another trip to Aquatica!


Happy Friday, Everyone!! :)  Hope you have the BEST weekend!
