friday favorites | spirit week

I haven’t done a Friday Favorites the past couple weeks, sorry guys! I have been so busy lately with Mason and Harper. They were sleeping through the night but now are regressing. I think it has to do with teething because they are both SO whiny, drooly, and constantly have their hands in their mouths. Whatever it is, I don’t like it.

Today I’m filming my second “day in the life” vlog, so be on the lookout for that later today. I am also going to be packing my whole house up today because we are taking the kids to Mackinac Island for the weekend. I booked the biggest room at our hotel because of all the baby gear I’m bringing, haha! The weather there is pretty chilly right now so I broke out the winter coats and hats. It should be a great time depending how the kids act. Isn’t that always the case though?

Here are my favs for this week:

SPIRIT WEEK! – When I was in school I use to love dressing up for each “theme” during spirit week. This week has been spirit week at McKenzie and Kasey’s school so we had fun picking out the different outfits to wear each day. The only day we didn’t have something to wear was “superhero day” so I had them wear their Harry Potter shirts. Which is way cooler than any superhero right? 😉 Here are their outfits…

Monday: Sports Team Day

Tuesday: Rainbow Day

Wednesday: Pajama Day

Thursday: Superhero Day

Friday: Green & White Day

The Found Cottage – I was midnight pinning on Pinterest and stumbled across this “gather” sign. I have a huge empty wall in my dining room so I knew this would be the perfect sign for the area. So I clicked the link and it brought me to Feather and Birch instagram page. I was looking through her Etsy shop when I read that she was from Grand Rapids! I emailed her to ask if I could buy it in person to avoid shipping costs and she lead me to The Found Cottage where she sells her pieces. The next day I made Cody hop in the car with me and head right there. If you are from the Grand Rapids area, YOU NEED TO GO. Like now. It was such a cute shop and had way too much stuff I “need”. I think this will be a regular spot for me now. 🙂

Apple Cider Mimosas – Another Pinterest find for me was Apple Cider Mimosas. Mimosas are my signature drink as I like to say, so I had to give it a try. These are perfect for fall and so yummy. Cody even liked it and he usually doesn’t care for a regular mimosa.

Baby Halloween outfits – Seriously, do I even need to explain my love for this? How cute are they!? We have been playing dress up the babies this week since they don’t nap, ever.
