Happy Friday all! And a very happy birthday to my dad!! We have a busy, but good weekend ahead!
ONE. The girls are in a wedding that we are attending during Labor Day weekend. And I have been on the hunt for a flower girl dress for them. I had to chose between, blush, gold and a cranberry dress for them. And since Labor Day is still (usually) hot here, I wanted something short sleeve.
I think I found the perfect dresses for them.
Now to find shoes to match these that are not crazy expensive.
TWO. A local girl that I follow on Instagram recently posted herself in this dress and I really wanted it. She says it is easy to throw on and make yourself look put together. Sign me up. It comes in 7 colors and it is truly so cute. I am ordering one for myself.
Last weekend when we got back from Elko, we went to a new-to-us Chinese place and I ordered this sour. It was soooo good. I wasn't sure if the marshmallow flavor would ruin it, but it does not. I am now on the search for this beer. If you find it, do yourself a favor and grab some.
FOUR. The girls start school on Monday and we needed to get them new lunch boxes and bento boxes. I searched for some online, but after comparing prices, we found that the stainless steel bento boxes were the same price whether we ordered them on Amazon or Pottery Barn Kids. Now the actual lunch boxes were cheaper everywhere else, but the girls just really wanted these ones, so we grabbed them as well.
And we got them the stainless steel bento boxes versus the plastic ones for longevity and easier cleaning.
We did get them the lunchbox with the built in cold pack. And no we did not get them personalized. Their backpacks are personalized though.
FIVE. Weekly funnies.
Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
Great funnies and I love the dress and lunch box. Happy Weekend love.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Happy weekend to you too!
DeleteI love the dress you chose for the girls, so pretty!!! I shared a pair of ballet flats today that may work? They are BOGO 50% off! Perfect, since you need 2 pairs. That black dress looks effortlessly chic, love. I ordered Zoe a pottery barn water bottle for 4K. I hope it gets here today or tomorrow, she starts Monday!
ReplyDeleteI did see those. The glitter ones are only in toddler size. I am looking into the blush ones as long as they match enough. I am picking up the dresses today. Pottery Barn is expensive but they have the cutest things that really do last.
DeleteThat dress is really cute. Exciting that school is starting - Gabbie starts a week from today!
ReplyDeleteThank you.Oh wow, on a Friday? My girls start this Monday!
DeleteThat dress is precious - perfect for the wedding!!!
ReplyDeleteSchool time already! ... its funny because back in the day LONG LONG AGO - it was a big thing to NOT have anything wiht your name on it because a stranger could call it & as a kid, you'd go to them because they knew your name. That made sense really - but it may be why I love everything monogrammed & personalized now - HAHA GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
I really hope it looks cute on them. I pick it up today. I totally feel the same way about things being personalized. I never had that as a kid, but now all things have to have their names on it to not share and know which one is yours. It is weird. I love things that are personalized now, but I do worry on my kids.
DeleteOMG that last meme - so true!! Back when I was working for corporate, I had to use most of my vacay days to take the kids to the doctor, do stuff at their school, and get stuff done around the house that I didn't have time to do because I was working so much. That one really hit home. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI love that dress for the girls!! That will be absolutely perfect for a wedding!
I have been there and was shaking my head. That is why I posted that. I knew a lot could relate to that meme.
DeleteI hope it fits and looks good. I pick the dresses up today!
Good luck to your girls going back to school!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the girls on Monday
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThose funnies are great! I also wish I could drop my body off at the gym for a workout and then go pick it up. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe dresses for the girls are adorable; I hope you can find some cute shoes!!

That is the sweetest little dress for your girls! Also loving the dress you got! All of these memes are cracking me up! Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good weekend :)

Thank you. I hope you had a good weekend as well!
DeleteThat dress is going to be precious on them! Laughing out loud at the meme about dropping your body off at the gym - YES PLEASE. Haha! Hope you had a great weekend, mama! xo
ReplyDeleteIt was so cute when they tried it on, but big. I sooo hope the size down fits them. I sooo wish I could drop my body off at the gym everyday and reep the benefits.
DeleteThose dressed you found for the girls is adorable! I would love to drop my body off at the gym and pick it up later.
ReplyDeleteThank you. They are just as cute in person. I feel like everyone wants to drop their body off at the gym and then pick them up. I am all for that!
