FRIDAY FAVORITES....VACATION EDITION

Trying to get back in the saddle this week! SOOO MUCH RAIN. I was overwhelmed to write this post because we had so much fun on vacation and so many pictures so I will probably spread it out in other posts or an entire dedicated post and today just concentrate on my most favorite part of our vacation, which was when our kids were there! And, as always, lots of other fun Friday favorites too!

  
1. Kids

While just starting their careers, it’s literally impossible to not only get all our kids but also to get them for an entire week so we settle for a couple days. But next year, they told us they’re going to try to get the whole week as they will be more established and we’re hoping all the girls can come too.

Here are a few pictures of the fun we had with our sweet kiddos!


And did we ever pack everything in that we could for them! From their favorite restaurants to hiking to great breakfasts to games on the beach to family walks, we made sure they got the most out of it.





Day they left, it was this.....sad parents!!
4 more says just Mr. Nine and I but we rocked it...


2. Cozy Earth

It’s no secret I love Cozy Earth Not only do I own a set of their amazing bamboo sheets but I own FOUR sets of their pajamas. The pink blush are my newest pair and I am so in love with the color! As always Cozy Earth and I have paired to give you one of the best promo codes of the entire year! 

Use code CECLOUDNINE for 40% off!



I think it's safe to say I LOVE Cozy Earth PJ's!!

Next week, I will be sharing a new bedding piece that I am over the moon for! So excited.

3. NSale 
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Ok, ok, I’m not even going to do a dedicated post to the sale but there are some decent finds! Hands-down, my 3 favorites of all time are my Barefoot Dreams Blanket and my favorite underwear! Bliss Cotton Briefs by Natori. I own these in six colors and I ordered a couple more pair this year because they are so good! AND The SPANX Faux Leggings...MAJOR LOVE. 

The Plush Throws make great gifts too!

So, yeah, Blankets, Undies and Spanx. GREAT DEALS ON THESE LOVES!

  5. Having limited vacation time is the worst, but at least the boys got to come for a while! I am sure it was a blast. Enjoy your weekend, Andrea!

  7. Thanks for sharing your vacay pics with us! I never tire of pictures from the beach/ocean, or Lake! I look forward to seeing more posts from your time there! I came back from Vacay 3 weeks ago and still feel as if I have so many posts to share from the things we did/experienced in Florida! Happy weekend friend!

  12. Loads of goodies packed into this post! That vacation looks so fun! You really packed a lot in! Love the Target dresses you snagged too!

  13. I loved following along on your trip in stories. So glad you were able to at least get a few days with the boys! I ended up scoring way more from the nsale than I thought I would! I got that free people sweater in the beige color. I also grabbed many other basic wardrobe staples, as I did a major closet clean out a few weeks ago and had some holes to fill. And I got a Northface jacket for Zoe to put away for Christmas because she is about too big for the one we got her 2 years ago. Hope you were able to grab some good stuff! Have a great weekend!

  14. Your vacation looks like so much fun. You're right...as the kids get older, it gets harder and harder to schedule family time. Have a wonderful weekend!

  15. Your vacation looked fantastic. Glad you got to see the boys for a few days too. It is hard when they are just starting out and busy with their own lives. Looked like a blast! You all looked so cute decked out for the 4th! What a stinker on your feeder but so cute!

  16. I love your Target dress in red. So cute. I am glad you got to see the boys for a few days. It gets tougher as they grow up, have big kid jobs and then start a family of their own. Vacation looks like it was a great time!

  23. It looks like you guys had a great vacation! Can’t wait to see more pictures!! I’m sure it is so hard to get the kids together now that they are older. That will be a sad day ahead. Glad they could get there for a couple days.

  24. Love that you got to have the kiddos with you for a bit, and I totally understand. When just starting your career it's extremely frustrating not to have much PTO. And I hear ya on the NSale - not dedicating a whole post to it but those leggings - yes please! And I think you need those sunnies <3
