Friday Favorites

Woo I'm so excited it's Friday! This week flew by. Thats the best part of a 4 day week. Last weekend was the perfect weather, it finally was beginning to feel somewhat fall-ish. Ugh, not anymore. The highs this weekend are in the 90s. I'm OVER it. Give me the cool weather!

We don't have a ton planned, Jack has two birthday parties on Saturday so we will be doing the run around to try and make it to both! 

My favorites from this week..

O N E | I have been on the hunt for a new rug in our playroom. I love the look of our current one but it sheds like crazy. Any time you sit on it tiny fibers get all over you. It has driven me crazy for two years and I had yet to do anything about it. Because y'all, rugs are so expensive!! I just didn't want to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a rug that is in a playroom and going to have things spilled on it. I finally found one that I liked and the price was decent so I hopped on it. It's from wayfair. They have tons of rugs! This one is an indoor/outdoor rug but super soft. I thought that it would be easy to clean up spills. I am really happy with it. I decided to take out the old rug and lay the new one all by myself yesterday during nap time. Whew, that is hard work! I broke out into multiple sweats and was definitely out of breath by the end. Save yourself the pain and have someone help you with area rugs! 

Focus on the rug, not the mess of the playroom.  #reallife (source)

T W O | Halloween Jammies! Carters makes cute jammies, and they are usually on sale and fairly inexpensive. I hate spending a ton of money on jams but I also want them to be cute. Jack had these halloween ones last year and they were so cute, and they glow in the dark! I just ordered a pair for both boys and thought that they would love them. Jack, especially! 


T H R E E | Did you watch Bachelor in Paradise? I was really into it this season. Its totally cheesy and so dramatic but I loved it. I thought Josh was a loser from the start and after hearing so much about the book that Andi wrote I just had to order it. It finally came this week. I can't wait to read and see what she has to say about him and their relationship. 


F O U R | Tumble. Jack started tumble last week. He is constantly flipping, and turning, and jumping and wanting to wrestle so I thought that putting him in a weekly tumble class would be great. He loves it! His teacher posted this picture yesterday and it cracked me up! 


F I V E | Sort of a random favorite but my car has been in the shop for the last few days. I mentioned a few weeks ago that someone backed into me and didn't leave a note {not cool!}. I finally took it to get fixed. I've been driving a rental car this week and its tiny! I feel like I am sitting on the road. I get my tahoe back today and I can't wait. It's amazing how much I appreciate all the space I have after driving a smaller car. I can't say I will miss Jack constantly kicking the back of my seat! 

Five random favorites of the week for you! Do you have any fun weekend plans?

What's Up Wednesday {8.31}



I am excited to do this link up today! I haven't done it in a few months and it's always one of my favorites! 

1. What we're eating this week....
Naan pizzas are so easy and versatile. We made them Sunday night and everyone got to put their own toppings on their own naan bread. I made oven baked tacos Monday night. Thanks to Sarah posting this yummy recipe I was reminded how much I love making these and had totally forgotten. I took her recipe and added black beans. Be sure to drain the rotel fully because mine had too much liquid and the bottom of the taco shells were soggy. They were still delish! 



2. What I'm reminiscing about....
I had Graham's composite pictures made on Sunday and it got me looking back at when I had Jacks done. He was so little and such a nugget, I miss those cheeks! 

3. What I'm loving...
I am loving the few mornings we have had that have been somewhat cool. The humidity has been down and I don't automatically break into a sweat upon walking outside. Of course by 10:00 the temps and humidity are high but for that split second I am reminded of what fall will be like!

 4. What we've been up to...
We haven't been up to a lot. Gearing up for school to start and finishing out the summer! I have been trying to organize and clean out room by room.

5. What I'm dreading...
Potty training... Does anyone ever not dread this? I tried "{for a hot minute} to train Jack and at the first accident I threw the towel in. I'm just not cut out for this. I'm praying he just wakes up one day and decides he is over diapers! Wishful thinking I'm sure!

6. What I'm working on....
Getting organized! I have started writing in my planner again and hoping that it helps to keep me organized and stay organized.



7. What I'm excited about...

The start of football!! We go to the opening NC State game Thursday night and I can't wait! I plan to fully enjoy the weekend of games.

This was Jack two years ago on the opening day for NC State. It just popped up in my time hop and I wanted to cry. How was he that little just 2 years ago, It seems like yesterday but also so long ago. 


8. What I'm watching...

Bachelor in Paradise...Yall, this show is a Train. Wreck. but I love it! The drama is hilarious and the way they edit makes me laugh every show. Also..what was Carly wearing in Monday nights rose ceremony? I really have no words!

All the Real Housewives (OC, NYC, NJ)



I also can't forget my daily obsession....thank you Lifetime for helping me be so unproductive during nap time.


9. What I'm listening to...
Welcome to My House has been on repeat in my car lately. I some how just discovered this song and I love it. I'm also still loving Tyler Farr's Better in Boots!




10. What I'm wearing...
If you follow me on Insta (@threeboysandagirlblog) you saw that I posted this dress that I wore to GNO on Friday! It's so comfy and can be dressed up or down. I'm also wearing a similar style that is a swing dress. If you don't find me in one of these you can find me in my standard workout gear. You can also check out what I will be wearing this fall in my recent post. 



11.What I'm doing this weekend...
Watching football and cooking out with friends! We were going to go to the beach for Labor Day weekend but decided that we would rather just stay home. I also plan to pull out ALL my fall decs and get my house in the spirit! There is something about a decorate house that makes everything seem cozier. I plan to do a full post on all my decor soon! 

12. What I'm looking forward to next month...
I'm looking forward to cooler temps and all the things fall. The county fair comes at the end of the month and I'm excited to take the boys. Jack will have so much fun this year. Also..football! I can't wait for Saturdays spent tailgating and watching games.

and that's what's up with me! I would love to hear what you've been up to. Have a great day, Happy hump day friends!
