Hello friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? It's been great here, but it always surprises me how quickly December goes by. I can't believe there are less than two weeks until Christmas and even though I've gone through most of my list, there's still a lot to do.
In between, we try to make time for some lighthearted fun: a night in Winterhaven, our annual “Christmas at the Princess” trip, baking cookies and watching Christmas movies. I'd love to hear what you're up to this weekend! P plays basketball, we watch Zootopia 2 with friends and have a Christmas party. I hope you have a nice weekend ahead of you!
(I LOVE this book! It's light, fun and festive)
Now it's time for the weekly Friday Faves party. Here I share some of my favorite finds of the week and around the internet. I'm always happy to hear about your favorites too, so please share what you like in the comments section below.

Got these advent calendars at Target for the girls. They're cookie dough ice cream bites! (No added gluten, but they contain oats)
Not a favorite… Moulin Rouge. I was so excited to go last weekend and ended up going during break. It's one of my favorite films, but the story didn't fit well with the musical. The book was… not good… and they also added more current songs to the mix. The whole show felt like slapstick to me, plus I had left my jacket in the car and was cold, so I called it quits. The only other show I've ever left on break is Cats, which is saying a lot, lol.
Happiness tips for busy friends.
Shopping, health and good food:
These cute clogs. I've seen the Birkenstock shoes for a while but didn't know if I could wear them since I wore the exact same shoe in 5th grade. I remembered how comfortable they were and how they would go with any denim outfit, so I bought a cheaper pair at Target. Liv was immediately obsessed with them, so I ordered a pair for her too.
Lots of Farm Rio this week!
This sweater
and this dress.
(Boots are here)
I bought the dress during their Black Friday sale and the sweater is from Rent the Runway…but I'm tempted to keep it. 😉
I also got this “Favorite Daughter” sweater from RTR < – get 60% off your first month using this link:
