Five cheers for Friday!

 
Happy Friday, friends! Here's the happy around here these days.

1- St Patty's Day last week was spent with our friends Jenn, Alex and their kiddos. Wings, green wine and clover cupcakes.... oh yeah!





2 - If you are any sort of org junkie like I am, you are going to LOVE packing cubes for trips. They are basically soft square bags that you stuff your items in. TO me you can stuff more items in than in your suitcase alone. I have a small set of three and a big set of four . So much easier to pack and unpack both on your trip and back home when the items are separate. Highly, highly recommend. 




3 - Ohhh I was so proud when my soon to be eight year old asked me to teach her scrabble. And guys, she was pretty good at it. As a scrabble lover myself, I could NOT be happier. 

 She took this to remember her first scrabble game ever :-)


4- Fresh Cream by Philosophy- I was a huge fan of the Milk scent from The Body Shop about 10 years ago... but apparently I was one of the only ones as they discontinued it.  For years after I would haunt The Body Shop asking about it. Enter Fresh Cream.... I bought their shampoo/bubble bath/body wash (a three in one combo) on sale over the holidays and I was sold! The scent is reminiscent to whipping cream, sugar and vanilla... So mild and so comforting. Nordstrom had a price match and philosophy gift with purchase so you can be sure I stocked up on the lotion, body spray and more body wash! #winning


Speaking of showers, on my massage therapists advice, I've been putting on my lotion while still wet standing in the shower. I then blot my skin instead of the vigorous towel drying I usually do. It totally locks in the moisture! I've even begun doing it to the girls and so far so good.

5 -And finally, in case you wanted to see one of the cutest boys ever. My nephew Dhilan cracks me up. 

Yes bud, you certainly are awesome!

  8. I heard another blogger talking about packing cubes and now I feel like I'm missing out. The girls look so cute and look like they had a lot of fun for St. Patrick's Day.

  9. I'm thinking I should try those packing cubes. Anything to not have my clothes all over my suitcase by the time I get where I am going. And how fun that she can play Scrabble with you. :)

  13. Scrabble is my favorite! Once your daughter gets comfortable with it, Bananagrams is a fun, quick variation on it. I've been thinking about getting a set of packing cubes for an upcoming trip in April - seems like a good way to avoid the inevitable suitcase explosion in the hotel room!
