FRIDAY FAVES!!

That escalated quickly!

The snowpocolpyse this week was awesome.  And apparently we have more to follow. 

In case you live under a rock, Kansas City was slammed with substantial snow this week.  The road crews worked their tails off to make certain we didn't follow in other (embarrassing) cities quakes (ahem.. Atlanta).  The men and women that clear our streets did an amazing job!  Schools closed, government offices tapered to essential staff only and most employers did their best to give their employees leeway to get to work safely.

I'm so grateful to have that employer.  They closed our office down early the day it started and gave everyone a few extra hours to get in the next day.  It truly made all the difference in the world (plus helped us avoid the hectic "rush hour" traffic).

It's nice to know people care.

Amidst all the shoveling, cleaning and organizing I have done this week, I have somehow managed to pull together some faves to share.  Hope you enjoy!



FAVE KICKS

Ah.... love!  Must have!!  Steve Madden, you are my hero. :)



 
 
 
 
FAVE INVENTION
 
Genius.  Absolutely genius.  Especially this time of year when I feel like my entire body skin is flaking off or itchy to death.  I don't mind our weather getting colder or even the snowy precip but I absolutely hate how dry it is.  This is perfect!
 


 
 
 
 
FAVE PIT
 
Our west coast kids have furniture similar to this and I love it.  So comfy! Our new family room space requires something like this.
 


 
 
 
FAVE WINE LOVE
 
To be honest, I'm actually considering just buying red wine by the barrel for the winter.  What a great use after it's empty!  I love this mirror - so creative.  Gotta have it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
FAVE YUMMO
 
We love chicken burgers in my house.  Well, any kind of burger really.  Hubs and I cannot get enough avocados of late - we are eating them practically every week.  So why not just marry the two?  Click here for these fab chicken avocado burgers ---- > Chicken Avocado Burgers
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
FAVE FUR FRIEND
 
Yes!  MOO COW!  I love him (or her).  Don't judge.
 


 
 
 
 
FAVE GUIDANCE
 
In the season of sickness, sometimes I need reminders on this kind of information!  Here's a cool chart to help you know when to freak out on your kiddo's fever.
 
 
 
 
 
FAVE REMINDER
 
I often forget this mantra, but it is a nice reminder.  As a coincidence, most 1/2 and full marathon training is 12 weeks!
 


 
 
 
 
 
FAVE NAPS
 
Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE built ins?  Of any type, really.  But these cute bunks just scream "build me!!"  Love.
 


 
 
 
 FAVE BLING
 
Love the simplicity of these gems.  Absolutely love them.
 
 
 
 
 
Have a safe (and warm) weekend, friends!
