The Friday Edit

Hi Friends! We meet on a Friday again! Whew a lot has happened behind the blog this week and I’m feeling all of the feels. We had great friends in town last weekend which brought us so much joy, we’ve been really preparing for baby girl which is so exciting I could squeal and we’ve also been mourning a family member who is very sick, which brings so much sadness…throw some good ole pregnancy hormones into that mix and I’ll leave it up to you to decide how many times I’ve cried this week. (Hint: we are probably pushing triple digits). Such is life, right? I’m so thankful that you guys joined me on the blog this week and just in case you missed anything…here’s a Friday Edit for ya with all of the highlights…

Ladies— this is NOT a drill! I found a nearly identical dupe of my beloved leopard clutch for $45! You guys obviously see how much I wear it and I cannot get over that this one is so similar and under $50. Scoop it up NOW, I’m telling ya! See the details HERE.

Calling all gingham lovers! Is this not the cutest little top that you’ve ever seen?? Cold shoulder + ruffles + gingham…I’m not sure it gets any better! And it’s under $40! Shop it HERE.

“IT” Shoe alert! Heads up gals, these beauties have already sold out twice at Nordstrom in this color, but I’ve found them fully stocked in all sizes HERE. They are SO on trend for Spring with feminine embellishments, yet are still comfortable and practical for busy moms. They are also on their way to my house…whohoo! Shop them HERE before they sell out again.

Ladies, I hit the Etsy jackpot for us! A ton of you have asked about my monogrammed pillow shams from our Master Bedroom and I was doing some browsing I came across these applique shams than put mine to shame! Oh and not to mention that they are completely customizable (color and font) and under $30 each. Jackpot, I tell ya…now, monogram away! Can you guess what I ordered from her shop???

Have you guys tried organic Elderberry Syrup?? Oh my goodness, it’s a lifesaver for our family…boosting immunity and helping TREMENDOUSLY with seasonal allergies! In fact, I’m going to pick up a fresh pint of it today! There’s a local business here that makes and sells it and she just opened an Etsy shop, so I wanted to share it with you guys since now she ships. Read all about the benefits of Elderberry syrup and the ingredients in her shop–HERE.

This article was floating around in one of my Facebook groups and I have to say that I was hesitant to read it because I really don’t like the word “mediocre.” Actually, I don’t like it at all. BUT I did end up clicking through and found the read super refreshing. In a world of social media screaming at us to “be the best at all of the things”…this was a gentle reminder to slow down and understand that sometimes being in the middle on some things is OKAY. Might be good for your mama heart…read it HERE.

You guys…I found the lighting deal of the century! LK had a birthday party at a friend’s house over the weekend and in their dining room they had two of these beauties over an extra long farm house table. To say that it was a show stopped was an understatement. The chandeliers were big (24” wide each) and beautiful, but still airy and open. I easily thought that they were probably $700+ each. While browsing lighting, I came across them on World Market’s site for $215 each!!! I almost fainted and am now scheming as to where I can possibly put one in our house. They are also a perfect blank canvas to easily spray paint. I’m thinking one in a super pale mint green….swoon! Shop them HERE in two sizes.

Isn’t her dining room beautiful? Charlotte ladies, she used local designer Christian Ray Interiors to help her pull it together!

Little Landry is becoming increasingly interested in helping me in the kitchen, so I’ve been pinning away ideas of things that we can create together. I LOVE this darling little Easter dirt cake with peeps and Oreos…easy to put together and allows her to get creative when decorating. I put it down on our Spring Break fun list! See recipe HERE.

Sales and Steals:

This darling little embroidered dress just got a big markdown and is still stocked in all sizes. Wear it with cute lace-up sandals and you have a great casual Spring look.

These darling shorts were just released and are 40% off this weekend. Grab them for $36 HERE! I LOVE the way LOFT shorts fit too, never too short.

I hope that you guys have a wonderful weekend! Keep us in your prayers 🙂
