Pretty Woman, Pretty Babies, Pretty Things! All the pretties for this edition of Friday Favorites!
1. The FUN for Mom’s Birthday
The Cake Bake Shop
It all started last Thursday at The Cake Bake Shop in Caramel, IN. We started celebrating mom’s birthday early with a wonderful tea, it was reminiscent of the one Mr. Nine and I had in London. The place is so phenomenal that we decided to host a bridal shower for our DIL to be next spring. Can't wait!
She's so precious!
More on my outfit to come soon in a post.
Pretty Woman
Then on Sunday, (her actual birthday) mom and attended the Pretty Woman Musical. It was so good! Of course, it was fitting that I pulled out my $2 Pretty Woman garage sale dress from 25 years ago. Love that thing. I found one similar HERE and you can get the matching purse HERE.
Twins
The BEST gift mom got was seeing the twin girlies on her birthday. After the musical, we met Mr. Nine at the kid's house with pizza and an old-fashioned cream pie I made (my recipe HERE) in hand so that the twin girls could celebrate their great grandma! Mom was in heaven!
With a beautiful day on Tuesday, the front porch got recovered. Leading up to my Christmas Home Tour Posts, I’ll be giving you some sneak peeks on Friday Favorites. I'm about 80% done inside and out and have been working my butt off.
4. Gift Guides
Hope you saw my Amazon Guides for him and her in this post HERE
Here are my FAVORITE girlie stocking stuffers ever!
Tell me how much of your Christmas shopping do you do on Amazon?? Wrapping up this year‘s gift guides with a good one! This is a very special link up with my friend Tanya from The Other Side of the Road as well, because not only do we link up our December Amazon posts, but we’re linking up our favorite Amazon, posts from the year! Raise your hand if you’re done with your shopping, lol! I’d say I’m 85% done.
FOR HER
Perfect gifts for the gals. We got the boy's girlfriends The Yeti Slim Colsters the last year and they use them a lot. There are slippers and then there are like these Slippers...CLOUDS of softness. Perfect Boiled Eggs Every time with the Egg Cooker! The Chocolate Caramel Crunch Gift Basket would actually be a great FAMILY gift.
So, the other day my son had on these HEY DUDE Shoes and I had no idea they were all the rage nor did I have any idea that they were like walking on clouds. Several people messaged me on Instagram saying that even their daughters have them and love them. The Jump Rope is so fun. We have got an Echo Dot in every room.
I literally have gotten everything in this list for my guys. Cannot go wrong with the Beanies. If you are a Yellowstone Fan, you will want the official Dutton Ranch soap. The Dude Wipes are great on the bum,my boys use them.
I feel like you can’t go wrong with any of these stocking stuffers for her, plus they are so pretty with the pinks. They SOCKS are the softest and so cute. The Eye Gels feel so good on Puffy Eyes. The Bath Bomb also makes Bubbles.
How in the world have I gone all year without doing a What’s Up Wednesday? I think I always have so many Friday favorites to share that I don’t deviate much from my Wednesday fashion posts, but to be honest, my life is so much more richer than my fashion so happy to participate, especially during the festive holiday season!!
