Friday Faves

I haven't posted this week for good reason. 

I've been really busy. 

Doing nothing. 

We had to drive over to Jacksonville for a house planning meeting, and Alex had a short work trip simultaneously for the rest of the week, so what is a girl to do? 

Answer: drop the kiddos off with the grandparents, hitch a ride with hubby down to Jax, and lie around in the hotel room for three days. Alex was concerned about my well-being, which I though was cute. 

Alex: "Are you going to get bored, just sitting around in the hotel room for three days without a car?"

Me: LOLOLOLOL

I love doing nothing. I actually gave a 10 minute speech in my Speech 1102 class about my favorite activity, which is doing nothing. I can wax poetic about nothing, because I am a lady of leisure. I wish I could put Lady of Leisure on a business card, but alas, nobody is interested in doing business with me. 

I aspire to be a poorer, less-classy Jackie Kennedy hanging out off the coast of wherever. 

So the prospect of being child-less and essentially people-less for a couple of days greatly appealed to me. I am up to my ears in little people every day of my life, so it is a dream to get a few days away doing NOTHING in a clean hotel room on the beach. I have been waking up just in the nick of time to still get my free breakfast downstairs, then I go upstairs to continue a strict regimen of reading, napping, reading, a little tv watching, an afternoon nap, and then some afternoon reading. I had planned on getting a thirty minute workout in each day, but I decided I didn't want anything to interrupt my lying around time. 

It's been amazing, but sadly, all good things must come to an end (and honestly, I really, really miss my little beasties and can't wait to see them). Tonight we are going out to dinner at the best French restaurant in the city to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary, and we will head back to collect the kiddos tomorrow. Side note- I cannot believe we've been married five years! Five years and still kicking! Holla.

Some Friday Favorites:

I've been hunting for a new swim suit for Summer. I have a beach bachelorette weekend to attend in June and then a July beach wedding in Mexico, so I'm looking for at least one more suit. I am eyeing this sexy one piece, because it shows some skin while still keeping the important stuff covered. I've had two babies; I don't need it all hanging out. 

I love this little two-piece romper for Viv. The safari animals are on-point for Summer!

I'm loving these opal ear climber earrings by Kendra Scott. They'd be a perfect accoutrement to a good Summer outfit and a must-have for all the Summer soirees I'll be attending!

This video is so funny. And accurate. We were laughing about how spot-on it is after dropping the kids off with my mom in the Hardee's parking lot off I-10. With the first kid, you have to make sure your breast milk is reheated to a perfect degree and leave a detailed list of all the baby's activities. With the second/third/fourth kids, you're all like "you do you." Call me if somebody is dying; I'll meet you at the hospital. LOL. Seriously this video. 

I always love a good white dress for the Spring and Summer months. This dress is a good one. It would be perfect for anybody, but I could see it being really adorable for a bridal brunch. 

I'm gonna get these pajamas for Viv for her birthday, I think. Kitties and puppies? Can't miss. 

This article about the 8 types of moms you see at Target is spot on. I'm numbers 1 and 4, in case you're curious. Can't get through a damn Target trip without opening 67 packages of treats as hush-money.

I do not personally love adult rompers on me. I think they're adorable on a lot of other people, but they aren't usually flattering on my body type. This black romper from H&M, however, could be a game changer. 

And finally, this adult cake smash photo session is too funny. I know it's satire, but this may need to happen for my 30th. ;)

Happy Weekend, friends!
