Today my Mom is coming over to help and then the weekend Rick will be on solo parent duty and hopefully by Monday I will feel much better. Although the whole no lifting for 6 weeks thing is going to be hard with a toddler.
Anyway, I really wanted to say thank you to all of you who reached out to me and sent me your prayers and well wishes. That seriously meant so much to me and really did help! This is just another reason I love this little blogging community!
Ok, time for some Friday Favorites - hopefully everything comes out making sense, mind you I'm still taking some hardcore pain meds LOL

These markers are our new favorite!! I first spotted them at my SIL's house a while back and thought they were just markers in some kind of holder, turns out they come this way. The kids are loving them so far and since they are more than just a pack of markers, I have made sure they know to PUT THE CAPS BACK ON WHEN THEY ARE DONE

Good Friends/Family are another favorite of my week!
My friend Ashley and I hung out Tuesday night for some pre-surgery drinks and girl chat and she brought me a little care package! It was so thoughtful of her and she filled with all stuff I love - a magazine, a word search, chapstick, lotion, mints, gum, my favorite candy and she snuck a DD gift card in there too.
My sister was also amazing! She dropped off several dinners she made that way we don't have to worry about cooking!! She makes some really good meals so I was very excited for this!

This looks like such a fun craft to do with the kiddos this month! Bonus is we already have everything on hand to do it.

I am totally crushing on the peplum look this year. I already ordered 2 peplum tankini swim tops and now want to branch out into clothes. This shirt looks so pretty but I won't pay full price, so I'll wait and see if it goes on sale. But if you go and buy it, don't forget to shop through Ebates first and get cash back on your purchase!

Stopping at 4 this week because my brain is not working right. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
So happy to hear surgery went well! You were in my thoughts, girl! Happy recovery! Oh and I'll definitely be checking out those markers! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the peplum look also. We need some new markers and I love that that set comes with the container. Thanks for sharing! Hope you recovery quickly and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you had to have surgery, but I'm glad you're recovering well and wishing it to be speedy for you my sweets! I love that black peplum top and I'll bet it would look so cute on you! I hope you have a restful and peaceful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Andrea!!
DeleteI am so glad to hear you're doing ok! It must be so hard not to use your stomach muscles and the no lifting would be really hard for me too. Hang in there and hopefully you will be back to feeling like yourself soon. How sweet your friend got you such a thoughtful care package and your sister is amazing with all of those meals! I am a huge ebates fan and always shop through them, how could you not?! Have a good weekend! Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteIt is much harder than I ever thought it would be! But I'm so thankful to have so much help!
DeletePeplum swing tops are the cutest!!! Feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteThey are but I always think they won't look right on me! Thank you!!
DeleteLove the tower of markers, and the leprechaun craft. Such cute ideas! I got the Gibson peplum top that's short sleeved (the white one Sheaffer recommended awhile back) and I love it! This one looks super cute as well and more transitional. I hope you feel better soon and have a happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I saw her post about that one! I always get worried peplum won't look right on me but I'm always attracted to that style!
DeleteHope you continue to recover well - you sound great! I was so out of it after mine and then I went through caffeine withdrawal! lol. So nice that you got a care package and the meals will definitely be helpful!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're hanging in there... I can't even imagine it being worse than a c-section - OMG! That is BAD, girl. Haha. Kick your feet up, relax, and binge watch something all weekend... you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteUGH - that sounds awful. It's hard for us mommas to be down. You know me I love an easy peasy craft and I think we have some of those tongue depressors at our house ;) #score and your memes every.single.week make me LAUGH OUT LOUD. Love meeting all you gals, it's a privilege to pray for you! Xoxo ERIN
ReplyDeleteSO good that your surgery went well. And so sweet with the care packages and the food!
ReplyDeleteThose popsicle stick hats are too cute!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry your surgery was harder than you thought it would be! I'm glad it went well, though, and you'll be better soon! <3
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear people are loving on and taking care of you friend. I have been thinking about you a lot over the past weekend, hoping your recovery is going well.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of those markers. So glad everyone helped out with dinner and a sweet care package. It is the little things that really do help. Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteWe love the pipsqueak markers too! Around Christmas Target had a cartwheel deal for 50% off that set. I bought all of them to stash for birthday gifts! For $7 I couldn't not buy them.
