The Friday Five

I still cannot believe it's August already.
Where on earth has this summer gone?!?
May the fall be long and wonderful!

A week of Olympics has also gone by.
It has been consuming our T.V. viewing, that is for sure.
Some other things I'm loving this week?  Keep reading...


1.
The Olympic video montage song.
I LOVE me an inspiring video montage.
USA!  USA!  USA!
And this year's song selection is pretty damn catchy!

(Apparently, he's from American Idol.  I wouldn't know this.

What I do know, is that he sounds like Mumford and Sons.

Which mama likey!)

2.
 Braided top knots
It's still hot as hell and this up-do is adorable.
(Sorry, it is impossible to make this picture bigger without being blurry as hell.)

(And paired with boatneck stripes?!  Yes!)


3.
Cool Mist Humidifiers
Namely, this one:

So incredibly cute in my son's nursery.
And kudos for drastically reducing his a.m. booger production!
It's currently on sale {HERE}.



4.
Gatorade
Specifically, G2 (the lower calorie version) in
Raspberry Lemonade.
YUM.

The Blueberry-Pomegranate or Fierce Grape are my #2 go-to flavors.
We usually nab this at the Pick'n'Save where they are usually 10 for $10.
(Is that ghetto and/or cheap?  I don't even care.)
My husband is "real into electrolyte replacement" these days
and Gatorade supposedly helps with breastmilk production.
Win-win for a + b!



5.
