The Friday Five

'Twill be a quick one today, m'loves.

It's raining cats and dogs here (thanks, el nino) and I'm attempting to capitalize on the opportunity to fold the 20 loads of laundry that await me and finally start putting away Christmas decor while the kiddos nap.  Bleck.

Fleet Foxes

Always a rainy day favorite.

Guys, one of my favorite design duos has a line at...wait for it...WALMART.

I know, I know.

But, it's affordable, of decent quality, and super cute!

(And the Pioneer Woman's doing it, too, with her line!)

Just purchased one of these metal frames for my 2 year old's "big boy bed."

Add in some brightly colored bedding + fun throw pillows

and pair with his cool tent?  I'd say it's a winner!

Check the whole line out {HERE}.

Taste the World

I love getting gifts in the mail, and this little treasure trove of deliciousness is no exception!  Foods from around the world?!  A foodie's dream!  Thanks to my S.I.L. for the fun subscription.  Want to gift it yourself?  Look no further:

The Myth of Quality Time

Read this lovely piece on family time.

This echos my exact feelings toward our summers up at the lake.

So bummed to be missing this year's adventures!

And a few more fun links, just because it's FriYAY!...

Kinda grooving on the tranquility of Pantone's Colors of the Year.

Extra 50% off sale at babyGAP.

(Can you say next year's Christmas jammies and outerwear? Yes, please.)

I think I need to make this salty + sweet treat for Monday's Bachelor viewing.

Speaking of the Bach, why have we never made one of these Bachelor brackets?!

The most common fashion mistakes.  Are you guilty?

Did you see Billy Joel on Jimmy Fallon the other night?  Love.

(P.S.  I think I need to go to a Billy Joel concert.)

And one funny for the road.  #beenthere

Have a lovely (and hopefully warm + dry) weekend, m'dears!

xoxo
