Happy Friday all! Can you believe that we are only 2 weeks out from Christmas? This month is going by too fast. I love December and always want to savior every last second of it. Plus in just a few short weeks, my girls will be 6 years old. How is that happening?
Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.
ONE. Even though Christmas is coming up, we have bought a few things for us or ourselves. Basically things that no one else is going to get us. First up, we bought a new sofa bed. We have a guest room that has a queen size bed in it. After this year and being home way more with the kids, we decided that we wanted to make our guest room more functional. This means getting rid of the queen bed (it is going to another family), purchasing a sofa bed, mounting a tv on the way and a few other cozy ideas.
We have slept on this sofa bed in two other houses and it is great. It is comfy, doesn't take up much space and is a nice sofa too. We want to make this room a guest room plus a hang out room for the kids. Then when they want to separate rooms, we will move the sofa bed into the office as well as the tv.
Here is the sofa bed that we chose. We got it on sale around Cyber Monday and chose the Heavenly Chrome Beige option. Plus I used Rakuten on it and got a lot of cash back!
TWO. Another favorite this week is this shirt that I picked up on sale. I am all about the sales and I LOVE this movie. I have already watched it twice this holiday season and will probably watch it a few more times. It is always tradition to watch it on Christmas Eve night and all day on Christmas.
THREE. If you are like me and have been breaking out from wearing a mask all the time (even the silk masks make me break out, just not as much), then you should grab these. I saw these little patches on someone's Instagram (I can't remember who) and decided to try them out. You put one on at the first sight of the zit and it kills the zit quickly.
I have used it on this zit that keeps coming back over and over again. And yes I wash my face masks often and even use the disposable ones one time before tossing them.
FOUR. I wear cozy/fuzy socks everyday while working from home. My girls have taken notice to them and have asked for more pairs. They each have one from a previous Christmas, but I got them each two more pairs on A Children's Place. I got a two pack for $2.99 each plus free shipping. Seriously a killer deal and these ones are awesome. They are soft, cozy, fuzzy and have grippers on the bottom. And these are still on sale.
FIVE. Weekly funnies
Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
That's a great idea to make your spare room more functional. That sofa bed looks really comfy. We have one in our playroom but have to put an extra pillow topper on top because it's not that comfy. Haha that 2020 meme is pretty accurate. I found some wipes the other day and got all excited! Hope you have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteSofa beds are rarely comfy. I have slept on this one and it is comfy which is weird, but good. Most people do put pillow toppers on them. I get excited when I find cleaning supplies too. Have a great weekend!
DeleteYour Funnies will have me smiling all day. Those socks are so stinking cute! And I love that T-shirt, it would be great to wear on our yearly marathon of that fabulous movie! Have a festive weekend my love!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad. I love sharing the funnies that I find. I hope my girls love the socks. They love llamas, so I thought they were perfect. I wore the shirt today. It is perfect! Have a great weekend too!
Delete8 to eternity sounds about right. And that elf on a shelf meme has been something I have shared like 100 times with my mom friends. How does that Christmas tshirt fit? Is it oversized, long, etc? I have the hardest time with tshits. I have such a short torso, I am the weird person who needs a short/wide shirt to have the oversize look good on me. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYes it does. Especially during the holidays. The last thing I want to do is work. Ha. It is an oversized shirt for sure. I got the XS and it is still bigger on me. I LOVE it though. I am wearing it today. I think the shirt would be good on you. It is a great boyfriend fit. Have a wonderful weekend as well!
DeleteOh gosh that last one is so sad and true! I am liking fuzzy socks here too!
ReplyDeleteIt really is. I congratulate myself for putting on jeans once a week. Ha. I love fuzzy socks and I hope my girls love these ones.
DeleteNo! I canNOT believe there are only two weeks until Christmas!!! GAH! I need those cozy socks in my life, and I was totally laughing at your funnies today!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo crazy. Time is flying by too quickly. I have about 5 pairs of those socks. They are so worth it!
DeleteLoving that shirt and I may need to add to my collection. Those memes are so funny! I might save a few when I need a laugh. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good one. I am wearing it today! Definitely save them! I love a good laugh. Especially now a days.
DeleteCongrats on the sofa bed - that's an awesome purchase!! Gonna check out those pimple stickers - I get a few around the mask area too! xo, Biana
ReplyDeleteThat funny with the vintage look - that's every picture of when the Hubs takes it. WHAT IS IT WITH MEN & CAMERAS? The goal is always to make you look horrible!!!
ReplyDeleteA sofa bed... I may need to get a new one for my back room. I need a new couch anyways & that would work with all the grand kiddos we have
What a great idea to reclaim your guest room to something more functional year round (and yet still have a guest space).
ReplyDeleteOh the memes haha they're killing me! Also, I loveeee that sofa bed! We may need to buy something similar when we move!
