Friday Favorites February Week 4

-

 Hello,

Another Friday and I love participating in this post because of the focus on finding the positive and sharing gratitude. It can be a really rough week and there’s still always things and people that are a favorite.

Thank you to Andrea from Momfessionals and Erika from A Little Bit of Everything for hosting this sweet link party every Friday! 💛 This has really helped me on my gratitude goal and also on taking pictures of all these wonderful things to remember and love!


#1: My Two Boys

I got home just under a week ago and my boys have been the absolute sweetest. Full of extra kisses and cuddles. There has definitely been a lot of snuggling and watching Bluey and I was here for the experience. 💛 (Grant too! 💛)

#2: Loose and soft clothing

If you are looking for a soft and loose dress… look no further, target has a long sleeve maxi that has been incredibly comfortable and can easily feel like a giant nightgown from the t-shirt material or be dressy enough to go to church. I don’t have a picture of me wearing it, but if I get one later this week, I’ll update then. 

3. Sunlight

It has been beautiful this week and so sitting out in a comfy chair, taking in a little vitamin D has been so beneficial. It’s hard to not be very mobile so being outside helped. And it doesn’t hurt that the boys were fully onboard with being outside for and hour or two after school every day. ☀️

4. Cats

Weather it was my cat being super snuggly or Lisa’s cat watching his favorite TV show, it’s just been a cute distraction.


#5: Survivor Premier

If you haven’t seen it, you need to check this out. Quite possibly my favorite episode of all time and Eva’s story spoke to my soul this week as well as seeing the genuine kindness and humanity from Joe and Kyle. 10/10 recommend and looking forward to watching the rest of the season with my little guys. (Fun fact: Jamie LOVES survivor and won’t jump into a pool unless someone shouts “survivors ready, Go!”)

#6 When Things Don’t Go Your Way by Haemin Sunim

I was recommended this and checked it out of the library as an audiobook. I really appreciate the message of calm, gratitude, and acceptance. I’m only partway through, but what I’ve heard so far it worth checking out.



Thank you so much for everyone who has helped, prayed, and loved on our family this past week. I am forever grateful!!!

💛Jess

    Aww! How lovely to come home to your boys and the extra kisses and cuddles and to get outside too. I hope you are recovering well.

 Hello! This has been quite the week, but there is so much to be grateful for. It’s going to get a bit deep and frankly I need to not process a lot for a little while and just focus on gratitude so that I can deal with the grief in my own way and time. Thank you to Andrea from  Momfessionals  and Erika from  A Little Bit of Everything  for hosting this sweet link party every Friday! 💛 This has really helped me on my gratitude goal and also on taking pictures of all these wonderful things to remember and love! Here are my favorites from this week (in timeline order because that is how I can process right now): 1. Guerrera documentary  Some of the ladies that I trained with for our respective combat deployments participated in a documentary that came out last Saturday. They did an amazing job and I can speak from experience that this was a very accurate depiction for us. (Most of the ladies interviewing were from CST 5. I trained with them but ended up deplo...

 Hello, I’m joining the party again this month, a big thank you to Shay from Mix and Match Mama  and Erika from A Little Bit of Everything  for setting this up and inviting us to share as well! 🥰 Grant and I are in a season of life that usually has our two little guys along for the ride. That means that we don’t have regular dinner dates or weekends away, but we find time that works in our schedule and season. 💛 1. Wednesday and Thursday Work Commute We are a one car family as we live in a city where parking isn’t always the easiest and we love the fact that it reduces our carbon impact and has the added bonus of allowing us to spend more time together. Grant takes public transportation to work Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, but on Wednesday and Thursday he works from a different location that doesn’t have an obvious route so I drive him between the kids drop off and heading over to the zoo. This time together is just us, we’re not on our phones, there’s no distractions o...

Friday Favorites: February week 1

 Hello, It felt like this week was sprinting and I blinked and it’s already Friday. It’s going to be a really fun day with a Valentine’s Day dance for the boys at lunch today and I get to be one of the chaperones! My kids are little so I think we’re still in the stage of wanting mom around and I probably won’t do this when they get older so I’m going to soak in all the delighted hugs and excitement while we’re in this phase of parenting. 🥰 Here are some other favorites from this week though. Thank you to Andrea and Erika from  Momfessionals and Alittlebitofeverythingblog  for creating this “link party” 🥰 1. This pill device! If you have a child who has to take medicine regularly, finding a travel device that can store, cut, and crush pills is a game changer and I LOVE this  one.  I’ve bought it twice now so I carry one with me so we don’t miss a dose for him and I left one at the school as it’s the best all-in-one that I’ve found. 10/10 best gadget of the yea...
