Happy Friday all! We have been in Graeagle all week enjoying our annual vacation. After a crazy busy last couple weeks and starting back in the office full time, a break was much needed an appreciated.
Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.
ONE. If you followed along on my recliner chair situation that I posted on IG and here a few weeks ago, then you know I did a poll and asked what you all thought between a leather love seat and chair. Well, we went back to the store to look at the large chair again (it won overwhelmingly on both IG and here) and asked if they had another other large/oversized chairs.
Our sales rep showed us three more others and we decided on the one below. The change from the one I posted on IG and this one is mainly the fabric. The sales rep said this one (below) would last longer, is softer and better for pets and kids. They were close to the same price, but we did add on the ottoman for ultimate comfort.
Here is what our situation was:
And the two we were deciding between.
And the one we ultimately got. It has been in our house for over a week now and we love it.
TWO. Do you or your kids have issues with mosquito bites? We do. The girls and I get bit and swell up, itch and just hate mosquito bites. But this time before Graeagle, I remembered to start taking vitamin B1. We should have started it a month before our trip, but a week helped for sure.
If you are going out into the mountains or have mosquito issues where you live and get bit all the time, you should start taking vitamin b1.
This is the one I ordered from Amazon.
THREE. Hanna Andersson recently had sales on their swimsuits and I grabbed the girls two new ones. When HA swim goes on sale, you buy it. I got one long sleeve one and one bikini. They have the cutest swim wear right now. I wanted to get them the lemon line, but the ones I wanted were sold out in their size.
FOUR. The evening of the girls Kindergarten graduation, we had a little dinner over at our house with just immediate family. We gifted the girls their trampoline, had an al pastor taco dinner and celebrated our little ladies. And we captured the cutest picture of my girls and my nephew.
FIVE. Weekly funnies.
Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
Love the memes. Glad you could get away
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was very much needed!
DeleteI needed the funny laughs this morning with the memes! And that picture of the girls with your nephew is just beyond precious!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to have helped. I hope you are doing well. It is sooo cute. They had the best time together. And I can't wait to capture more photos like this.
DeleteI love the chair you guys decided on! It looks great! I haven't gotten Zoe any HA stuff, but I always mean to grab some things when they run a sale. I will have to check it out. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo comfy too. I love it and now choose to sit there when we are in the living room. Ha. We all fight over it. They have the best sales and the cutest clothes. I never buy full priced there.
DeleteGreat choice on the chair!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThose stairs - WHAT??? LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your new chair!!! I'm looking for one for my coffee/reading room. I'll be on the hunt.
B1 - I had never heard of that - interesting - wonder if that works for ticks too - my hubby just walks out the front door & has ticks on him.
So weird right? And that is a lot of wasted denim. Oh that would be a good chair for the coffee/reading room. I read it in all yesterday! Oh I would look into it for ticks too. I know it helps with mosquitos and other bugs.
DeleteSo what does the B-1 do? I am so curious and myself and my two younger boys get eaten alive.... off to research now...
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what it exactly does, but I do know that after a bit of time and build up in your system that it changes the way you smell towards the mosquitos. They don't like the scent you put off when you have vitamin b in you. I only had 2 bites this trip and I usually get about 20 or more.
DeleteThat Target meme could not have more truth! Those swimsuits are darling, and YAY for the new chair <3
ReplyDeleteGreen Fashionista
It is so true and they get me every single time. I love the new chair so much. The girls loved their suits and have already worn both of them.
DeleteLOVE the chair you went with!!!! Okay, didn’t know about that vitamin helping with mosquito bites; totally ordering!
ReplyDeleteThank you. We are loving it too. It is sooo comfy. It works so well. I only got 2 bites when I usually get 20 or more. And I waded through grass to find golf balls all week.
DeleteI love blue raspberry flavor, lol. I love your chair! It looks so comfortable! Your girls have grown so much this year! Love those suits for them too.
ReplyDeleteI love it too. Especially with jolly ranchers. But it is funny and so true. The chair is so comfy and soft. Total winner. They have grown so much. I can't believe it. The suits were already worn and loved!
Deletethat target meme .... is true! LOL
ReplyDeletealso - i love that chair!!!
It is sooo true. Thank you. The chair is so soft and cozy!
DeleteYour new chair looks lovely! I have to say though the jean stairs at the end made me stop for a moment, haha! i wonder who would do that? Definitely unique!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend :)
Away From The Blue
It is so soft and comfy. I laughed so hard at that. That is a lot of jeans that were used. It is really unique. Ha. I hope you had a great weekend too!
DeleteI love the chair that y'all went with! It looks like a great place to curl up and be cozy!
ReplyDeleteIt is so cozy. We have been fighting over who gets to snuggle in it.
