All week long I come across multiple things that I think MUST go in my Friday Favorites. Then come Thursday evening (when I write my post) I can’t remember a thing. One would think I would jot these ideas down somewhere, but that would make too much sense! I’m so excited it’s finally Friday!
one. Rachel Zoe.
I mentioned on Wednesday that I have trouble with maternity bottoms because they are all made for tall women. Thankfully Rachel Zoe at Pea in the Pod makes leggings for shorties like me! I bought three pairs – one leather panel, one tuxedo strip, and one navy with a zipper at the ankle. The leather leggings (shown above) are not quite my style, but something fun to wear when I go out (b/c I go out SO much).
two. the Emma.
I am OBSESSED with all of the Emma tops that Dress Up Boutique carries. We have a shop in my town and I go in there frequently to check their inventory because the Smalls sell out quickly. Yesterday all of their Emma short sleeve tops were on sale for $15. I bought two and can’t wait until they come in. Made out of the most comfortable fabric, these tops are cozy, forgiving, and can be dressed UP or down. I have four long sleeved Emma tops that I wear frequently to school and will continue to wear throughout my pregnancy (and the cool weather).
three. Daddy daycare.
Since Annabelle has the flu and is quarantined to our house for the week, Brandon and I took turns staying home with her (until his Mom drove in from TN to help us! YAY NANA). One thing I will never understand is why she seems to have SO much fun with Daddy, doesn’t act up at all, and then acts like a nut for me. Wednesday night was particularly tough…
four. this trio.
I’ll be busy putting drops of Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint into vegetable capsules this weekend to relieve the discomfort that comes along with Spring flowers. Being pregnant and all, I really don’t want to take any medicine – so bring on the oils!
five. Confessions.
Since my Wednesday Confessions link up was reborn a month ago, I’ve suddenly noticed that all along other bloggers have been doing their own versions of Confessions post. I never thought I came up with this idea, I just know back in 2012 not many bloggers hosted something similar. I am at a crossroads and don’t know whether to continue with my own or just link up with others. What would you do?

Come up with a new link up with me! Haha as a new blogger, I just link up with other people but have wanted to come up with something myself. But like you, I’m torn on what to do. I like the confessions idea though! I think you should keep doing it.
have a good weekend!!

I would definitely still keep your own!! I find the confession linkups to be really fun because it’s sorta makes people show their real selves! Yeah there is a lot out there but every unique one reaches different people and that’s what it’s all about! Reaching new people!! =)
My husband and I are going to try to start having kids later this year so I’ll keep this in mind about the maternity wear! I’m short and will never fit into skinny anything so I really have been researching options for the time comes!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and I will definitely follow you! It’s always great to meet a new blogging friend! =) Have a great weekend!
I think you should keep doing your Confessions link up 🙂
Hey girl! Stopping by from the link up 🙂 Thank you so much for the recommendation on those tops! I am heading to that site now to purchase some. I’m sorry your little one had the flu, that’s terrible, and I think it’s just normal for kids to behave better with Daddy, at least that’s how it always is at our house! Oh and congrats on #2!! Very exciting!
I have seen a couple other “confessions” link ups… I like those types of link ups but if you wanted to have something different maybe you could come up with a fun new link up! 🙂

Aww…I really enjoy you Wednesday Confessions link up. I do hope you decide to keep it. It’s one of my favorites! BTW…I tend to be forgetful, too, and speaking of confessions, I confess that I start my Friday Favorite post (and some other scheduled posts for that matter) at the beginning of the week and add to it each day. There’s no way I’d remember everything otherwise!
Just found your blog

I’m pretty short and have a terrible time finding leggings. Sorry your little one is down and out. I’m home with the flu today, too. I must confess….have been binging on terrible tv. Happy Friday! Have a wonderful weekend!
I love the Emma top! So pretty, and that mint color is super cute. 🙂
Ooh those tops look so comfy! I have to get my leggings hemmed half the time, too bad we don’t have pea in the pod here. Hope Annabelle feels better!
The Emma top is SO CUTE! I need to check them out! I would keep the confessions post, but I love reading the honest and real side too.
Those tops are so cute! Hope you’re having a great weekend! 🙂
We’ve been sick this week too, so totally feel your pain! Never fun to combine pregnancy, toddler AND sickness ALL at once. So hard. Why do kids have more fun with daddies? HAHA! I’ve said that so many times too 🙂 Thanks for the tip on the Rachel Zoe leggings! I’m always yanking my maternity pants up OR rolling the bottoms up because they’re too long. May need to run out and buy one pair to get me through the last few months. Hope you’re having a restful weekend!
I hope your little one is feeling much better! Love your cute new clothes. And I would continue with you linkup. We do the H54F linkup, which we took over from The Lauren Elizabeth, but tons of other people do similar ones.
