Here are some of my recent favorites I thought I’d pass along:
*I’m in full on Swaziland supply packing mode. This is the pile in our living room right now.
Holy moly right. That’s right at about 189lbs of supplies…not counting the rest of our teams supplies they have collected and purchased. You can only imagine. I’m crazy excited. My favorite travel agent we’ve worked with hands down is Jeff Lemonds at Adoption Airfare. Add him to your go-to list right now…request this dude and thank me later. I just keep thinking about how helpful he was and how he worked his travel agent magic to assist us in getting all these supplies to Swaziland. The best around.
*We were all discussing Solomon’s Gotcha Day which is approaching quickly in July. We realized I would be in Africa on his special day and our very non emotional child got super emotional. He’s not my scared or sad crier at all. It kind of tore my heart right up. For Gotcha Days we do something all together as a family, so I decided to make a purchase for Sol that he could unwrap on his Gotcha Day and share with the others. I’m a big fan of Mud Love and their awesome products. And as always, purchasing with a purpose tops my list of places to shop and Mud Love purchases provide clean water. Yes. I ended up getting each kiddo their own animal bracelet. They have other products as well. I think they are going to love these. I even picked up a few extra for gifts.
*I love mail. And I believe in pretty packaging. All my orders are wrapped in fun packaging. These are my current favorite wrapping papers courtesy of Michaels for just $1 per roll. I might have stocked up…you might want to too.
*Can something I make be on my favorites list this sunny Friday?!?! I think so. Dish towels are my new “thank you”. They’re handy, colorful and just right for pretty much any time.
*The Nashville Sounds got a brand new ballpark this year. Last night Josh Kelley’s whole family had free tickets. It might not have been the easiest outing with 5 kids…mainly our littlest and Amon being out waaaaaay past their bedtimes proved to be a tad challenging 🙂 but we were all so glad we did it. Baseball is a total favorite of ours and we all can’t wait to go back for another Sounds game at the new park.
*I wanted to copy, paste and share so many quotes from this, but there were seriously too many. Who knew Jon Stewart would be my honest news reporting choice. I totally love him! Incredibly well said.

*Still my favorite lunch lately…even at the wave pool. Turkey slices, mustard, chopped tomatoes and broccoli slaw. Just try it.
*And I know it’s silly, but after seeing all the super cute journaling Bibles out there now, I was kind of bummed about my plain black one. Not anymore. I thought about adding to it and finally decided I really loved just the black and white. If I change my mind I can always paint more on it later. I just used acrylic paint. Boom. Done.
Do you have any favorites we must know about?!?!? Please feel free to share.
Hope you have an awesome weekend.
Happy Friday party people.
