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!

FRIDAY FAVORITES.....STARS & STRIPES SORT OF

Whoohoo, it’s FRI-YAY! I’m celebrating because yesterday, the Dr. got all the stupid squamous skin cancer cells and it’s just a matter of healing now with the stiches. Hopefully the scar won’t be too bad but so happy to have it DONE!!

I’m calling this the Stars and Stripes edition with this sweater in case you want to get a jump on something cute for Memorial Day and the 4th, but no need to rush it. Heck, it’s going to be so cold here in Indiana, flowers are once again covered and anymore pool days look faaar off.


1. Potting Bench

With my love of flowers, of course I have always wanted a Potting Bench! I got this one from Yaheetech and it is so nice. My sweet son put it together and it’s adorable. It’s also very functional. There’s even a spot on the side with hooks to hold my gardening tools.

 

It has Spacious working/storage space: Measuring 112x46cm/44.1x18.1" the large tabletop covered with galvanized metal sheet providing a corrosion-resistant and ample placing/working/crafting space. Apart from the drawer under the tabletop, the slatted shelf and the roomy cabinet at the bottom offer open storage and enclosed space to satisfy various storage needs.



Check out all kinds of amazing products from Yaheetech HERE


2. More Nature
Nature just keeps throwing us beautiful blessings!
BABY ROBIN'S

Remember Last Week I showed you the robins’ eggs? Well, those sweet babies hatched last weekend and I caught them very very hungry. I got away quickly so mama could come feed them!


AZALEA

Why oh why don’t azaleas bloom longer? This one bloomed its beautiful orchid color this week, but it will be gone before you know it. Such a shame with such a little bloom time on these beauties!


BLEEDING HEART

I also showed you my bleeding-heart plant on Instagram last weekend. Many of you have never seen one before. This is the first year that it has really thrived. So many blooms and they actually look like hearts bleeding out the bottom.

MY MOM

Lots of hugs have been giving to mama the past couple weeks since I have been able to hug her again after our vaccinations and best of all, she will spend Mother’s Day at our House for Chinese and maybe get in a walk. Restaurants will just be too crowded and it’s too cold for alfresco dining. BUT look how beautiful she looks. I gave her this Elfrida Smokey Quartz ring from German Kabirski early but can’t wait to shower her with love on Sunday. She is a sweet gift to me and all who know her. I think part of my struggles turning 50 last month is the overwhelming mortality of my parents, my extended older family and my sweet Mr. Nine. I can’t bear it, so what I will do is treasure every second I get to spend with them. My mom and I can once again enjoy outings, shenanigans, beach days, etc and you can bet, I’ll hug her every time we part!! 


Happy Weekend my friends!! 
Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's, aunts, grandmas', fur moms, friends, mentors....no matter happy or sad, near, far or in heaven, may sweet memories and LOVE surround you!
