Happy Friday! We are so excited as we have nine family birthdays in the next six weeks and we start The party this weekend with Leo’s! Can’t believe my baby is going to be 4.
While it is fun, tear jerking and celebratory, birthdays in Covid are new to us. Even though we’ve been here for 6 months, we haven’t really done a birthday yet. Leo is in a new class, so I didn’t want to do a driveway with kids he is still getting to know. A social gathering was out of the picture and his school won’t let us do anything. Like, nothing. Bringing treats, donuts, giving out packaged ice cream and evening bringing a bundle of balloons to pass out to friends are all not allowed. Therefore, I am just attacking this birthday with overwhelming force. We are doing a birthday “party” with my in laws one day, another with my parents another day and lots of cake and donuts. I’m really excited as I am picking both kids up a little early tomorrow and taking them to the movies as a surprise. The theater is one of those luxury ones, where you pick your seats ahead of time. As of now, there is no one, not one person, in the theater besides us, so I feel very safe.
Here is the Friday Five:
- BUTTERFLY SOCIAL MASK CHAIN. It is no secret that I am in love with this small, female owned and operated company. I wear their bracelets everyday and I am obsessed with their rings. Arielle was kind enough to send me a mask chain in the middle of all of this Covid stuff. She can personalize them with any color, names or beads you want. Let me tell you, the chain makes the mask a snitch. So great for pick up and drop off too. I don’t know about you, but I take off that mask asap once I get in my car. DM her to order! {navy blue floral face mask}
- FINDING FREEDOM. Just finished this book and even if you aren’t a Royalist Loyalist or on Team Meg, it was fun to read. Lots of insider information that not even your number 1 Royal Fan knew about. The author was a part of the Royal Press Corp for years before Meg came on the scene. Therefore, Omid was well versed in the protocol of it all, as well had an insider perspective on, not only The Crown, but Harry himself. Planning on doing a bookclub soon!
- AMAZON STOREFRONT. As I mentioned, Leo’s birthday is this weekend. Even though I know it is coming, I am always ordering birthday items last minute. What DID moms do before Amazon!??? Therefore, I updated my Amazon Storefront and added a bunch of stuff to the kids section. Also updated the Fashion Finds page with some items I just ordered this week or have ordered in the past. Amazon fashion can be tricky, so I don’t take my selections for this page lightly.
- BEST LIP LINER. I got asked about this a couple of times {twice. two times.} in my DMs last week. This truly is the best lip liner and most flattering shade. Pair it with your favorite lip balm and rub your lips together for the perfect combo. Or with any of your favorite lipsticks. It is truly perfect with everything.
- RUNNING BELT. Another question that slide into my DMs! I cannot not run with a phone. {please, always do. Just for safety.} Yet, I found myself not reaching for so many of my favorite workout leggings because they don’t have a hip pocket. Enter the perfect running belt. It has a velcro adjustable belt and elastic waist, making it beyond comforabtle to run in, I forget it is even there. The belt lies flat, so your phone won’t be bouncing on your belly and even has a clip and pocket for you keys. I wore this for our Catalina Hike last weekend to hold everyone’s keys and IDs for a post hike cocktail!
