Friday Favorites

Happy Friday Ladies!

 

Today is the last Friday of school for my kids, man oh man did this school year FLY by!

 

Today I am linking up with Andrea , Erika and Narci and sharing my Friday Favorites.  Be sure to grab the graphic and link up too!

 

 

 

ONE

I am always telling you guys how sweet and thoughtful Mark is...and he really is.  Pretty much every day he does some type of sweet little gesture for me.  Tuesday night I went into our room to go to bed, and he left some little mints on my pillow.  Just ordinary little mints he snagged from a restaurant, but it truly is these little gestures that mean the absolute world to me.  Having the best man ever to call my husband is a favorite for sure!

 

 

TWO

New bikes was definitely a favorite for the little kids this week!  Fitting all 3 in my car in one trip was my favorite!

 

 

THREE

Good friends are always a favorite for me!  Our friend Bryan, who Mark worked with years ago in Charlotte, was here in Florida this week, interviewing at Mark's company, so after his interview he came here, we caught up until Mark got home and then we headed to dinner.  Being able to maintain great friendships with lots of distance is awesome and a favorite for sure!

 

 

FOUR

This little picture right here is filled with my favorites!  My view, my furniture, my coffee and my adorable new coffee mug !  I mean can anyone be trusted at Target??

 

 

FIVE

I am pretty darn excited about this little sweeper!  The majority of our house it tile floor, and between the kids and the dog hair I feel like I am constantly having to sweep...so having this makes it all much easier.  And...I even use it out on our lanai and it is just awesome!

When the Apple Watch first came out, I had ZERO interest in it.  As I would be scrolling through IG I would see posts with someone showing off their new Apple Watch and how much they loved it, and my interest was definitely peaked a little bit.   The closest Apple Store is about an hour away from me, so I started looking online and doing some research and decided I really wanted one, so off to Best Buy we went , they only had the black one, 42 mm on display, so I didn't get to check them all out, but I decided to get the 38mm gold sport watch.  I got it home, and tried it on and was immediately regretting that I didn't get the larger one.  Back to Best Buy I went and exchanged it for the 42mm gold one.  I came home and was definitely happy with the larger size, but was not loving the navy band it came with.  I bought an off white color band, and though it definitely made it look more girly, but I was really thinking "man I should have gotten the rose gold"....so for the third time....back to Best Buy I went ( I am probably banned from making returns there now).  I exchanged the gold for the rose gold 42mm and I am LOVE LOVE LOVING it!  It was super crazy easy to set up.  Best Buy offered to do it, but I declined.  It took all of like 5 minutes to pair it to my phone!  I have had it for about a week now, and I still don't know everything it can do...I need to watch some videos and check out all the features.  I went to Starbucks the other day and actually paid from my wrist super cool!  For me though, the best part has been how little I am actually on my phone now.  I have mentioned before that Mark rarely ever complains, but his biggest issue with me has always been my phone...I get sucked in, check a text or email and next thing I know 40 minutes later I am still on my phone, checking Facebook, Instagram and a million other things.  Since I have had my watch, I am still able to see text messages and respond, I get notified of emails (and most of them are just junk anyway), and if a call comes through I can either take it or not, just like on my phone.  The great thing for me has been that my phone is no longer glued to the palm of my hand, which means I am just not spending hours anymore scrolling through social media, etc...  I have been SLOWLY getting back into exercising and I am love having the fitness app!  So even though I still have lots to learn about my new watch it's quickly becoming my favorite!

 

 

SEVEN

Not only did the little kids get new bikes, but Mark and I did too!  I haven't had a bike since I was a kid myself!  My kids totally made fun of my bike, but I think it is just darling! 

 

 

This view was my favorite for sure!  Pretty much my whole heart right there!

 

 

EIGHT

Getting a good deal is ALWAYS a favorite for me!  I got all those Gatorades (32 of them) for $11.41!  Publix had them buy one get one free and on each 8 pack was a coupon for $1.00 off 2!  I ran back out last night and bought 8 more 8 packs!

This weekend Mark has to work...he has been home the last 3 Saturdays and it has been perfect!  Olivia has a project due Monday that we need to work on, and the boys have some serious room cleaning to do!  Other than that we don't have too much planned!  I am super excited about only having 4 more days of school left next week!  Have a great weekend...see you back here Monday!
