Today, I’m linking up and sharing some Friday Favorites with you all!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I hope you are showered with lots of flowers, chocolates, sweets and treats! Today, I am highlighting all the things I’ve been loving recently in honor of Valentine’s Day.

Preschool Party – Craft Duty

Yesterday, I volunteered to help with crafts for a Valentine’s Day party at my daughter’s preschool. I know I have mentioned this before, but I have had so many Mom fail moments when it comes to school – I was ready to finally get a WIN!

I used this as my inspiration for a craft

Dollar Tree supplies for the win! This is how they turned out!

I don’t know about you, but I can definitely get behind crafts that show more of a sentimental meaning (could be acting selfishly making the kiddos do this craft, but they did Love it!)

The kids traced their hands on brown paper, I brought in the green tree cut outs and we had them glue to a thick white sheet of cardstock. Then they got to work attempting to make hearts out of their thumbprints and glued on all the little glitter hearts! I think they really enjoyed this craft, especially because they were able to stick their little fingers in paints!

I know I will save this in my daughters art bin….those little hands 😯

Snow – Love/Hate Relationship

We had thee prettiest snow fall yesterday and while I love all the beauty it brings, I miss sunshine and warmth so much! Posting some pretty snow pics around our yard below because it is truly BEAUTIFUL!

Quinoa Mediterranean Bowls

We LOVE this meal and I especially LOVE “leftovers” the next day

Winter Wardrobe: Pieces I Love

This faux suede modo jacket is just perfect! It’s lightweight, the perfect color and looks super expensive in my opinion!

They have it in a bunch of different colors. The blouse underneath was from Target but is currently sold out!

Another thing I love, which you will most likely find me in today as it is FREEZING in Cleveland

This fleece pajama dress! I mentioned I purchased this at the Jockey outlet last year and I honestly should have stocked up at that point – this PJ is just SO GOOD!

I shared the rest of my Winter Wardrobe this week for the Let’s Look link up.

Routines!

This Momma loves being on a set routine – particularly with the kiddos. It is good for the kids to know what to expect in a given day, and also good for me in terms of mapping out my day!

I am not super strict on most things, but nap times during the weekday I am a stickler about it. My two year old son is a champion when it comes to walking himself up to bed for his 1 p.m. nap!

This week has been a breakthrough week for our 6 month old!

Little bud has finally fallen into a play/eat/sleep schedule I have been following strictly for weeks!

As a new parent or parent of a newborn, you can get overwhelmed with the uncertainty of what your baby needs and wants. I found a couple things that I was doing wrong (even as a Mom who has been through this already) and I cannot wait to share that schedule with you in greater detail next week!

Pandora Bracelet & Knock-off Beads

This week, I was cleaning the cabinets in our master bathroom and found a huge bin of Pandora beads.

About 90% of these beads were “fake” and I remembered when I bought this at Michael’s years ago! The beads were $.50 per pack of 8 and came in all sorts of colors and designs! Naturally I stocked up…I like having options, ha! They were Darice brand, but I was able to find similar bead and spacer knock-offs below:

I know Pandora bracelets are not a thing anymore, but I am thinking I want to bring mine back!

These are so fun to customize in order to match your outfit and also look good stacking with other bracelets!

Hope you have a great weekend!!!
